I had to wait for cars to pass to get out of my car. There is just not much room on this street. The cafe is cute, I got a latte and some treats. The Whoppie pie cookie was so good as was my coffee. They said that when the weather is better there is seating outside. There was not seating inside. They did have some savories as well, which I would love to go back and try.

Love this tiny cafe…read more The owner and staff are all wonderful. Coffee is great. The primary coffee accompaniment are pastries but there is a yummy breakfast sandwich and other such items there too, if you can rip your eyes away from the goodies to look! It's charming. With the pandemic they have improved their outside, so several great spots to perch and eat and talk. There can be a bit of a lineup so consider trying to find their quieter times if they work for you. Right by the Rideau River so very accessible for bikes and people out for walks.

There was a short line, but it moved quickly as there were 2 people making the sandwiches. You pay at the cashier at the front of the grocery store. I got a sandwich with focaccia, prosciutto, salami, mozzarella, with lettuce and dijon. Overall a good option for a quick lunch.

I was walking down Rideau and noticed the old place I reviewed here had been replaced with a place…read morecalled DZ House. I decided to return a few days later to try this Algerian place out. I wasn't sure what to expect as I haven't seen a lot of Algerian restaurants in town. When I walked in, I was greeted by the really friendly staff. I had a look at the menu and it was sandwiches, fajitas, tacos, burgers and paninis. This place looks up my alley. After a quick scan and some thought, I decided to go with the panini. I got the chicken panini with fries. I saw down and in no time my order arrived. The grilled panini looked decent. I tried the fries first and they seemed to be lightly dusted and fried. They were OK. They came with a spicy sauce which they offered when I placed the order. I wish there was a little more but I didn't think to ask for a little more. Next up was the panini. I took a bite and there was a little bit of a kick to it. I had to double check if it was the sauce or the panini that had some spice and I'm pretty sure it was from the chicken. The sandwich was nice, it came with melted brie which nice. After a bit, I finished up my meal and the place started getting a bit more customers. The meal was a pretty good price. It was around $15 with a drink. I'm definitely going to come back to try something else.

Parking was the only challenge, but I was less than a block away. I will be back!

I don't know how come this place gets many good reviews but every time I come there, the quality of…read morefood and service is very poor. A few times I bought the pastries there, and it was stale and not fresh. Today I asked the staff when the pastries on display were made, and they seemed to be confused at first, and then they had to admit that the pastries weren't prepared today. I ended up not buying them at all to not the risk of eating spoiled food. They told me that they also have fresh ones but why do they charge fresh and stale pastry for the same price then?! The drinks are mediocre. For instance, they charge almost 8 dollars for a small seasonal drink. It's not even good at all, as if tasteless. The overall atmosphere isn't welcoming due to the constant smell of burning, unfriendly stuff, and some of the kitchenware seems to be not cleaned well, for instance, the toaster, there is a lot of soot on it that constantly burns. The stuff isn't suitable for working in hospitality. They seem to not be interested in what they're doing, and that's why they do it badly and don't put much effort. That is what happens when the owner hires students for whom working in a cafe isn't a profession but just a side hassle. Also, their appearance wasn't nice. By saying that I mean their clothes didn't look neat and tidy, and their hair was uncombed and loose. To sum up, Red Door Provisions is just another overrated cafe that might make an impression of a cute and cozy place with delicious drinks and pastries at first but it turns out to be even worse than mediocre. I gave it a few chances to improve my impression of it but I'll not come back there anymore, and I recommend others to avoid it as well.

They share the same spot with Maverick's so you can order at the window or drop in inside. I ended up getting 2 tacos, a quesadilla and some nachos to go. Maria (I assume) is super friendly and looks to be the only person working the counter. After a few minutes, she had more order to go and I was off to the races! I have to say, tacos were pretty decent. All the ingredients were pretty fresh. Quesadillas were about the same. The nachos were a bit expensive for something with no protein on. I'd say skip that but everything else give it a shot. A solid 3.5!

My husband and I went here for some gelato/ice cream and it was fantastic!…read more I got a small gelato ($5 taxes included) and I was thrilled that I was able to pick 2 flavours. I got mango and pistachio. I liked that they put the flavours side by side and not on top of each other. They also really filled up the cup so the portion size was excellent. The mango flavour was really potent, which I loved. The pistachio flavour was rich and nutty, which I also loved. They didn't have too many flavours, but a good mix of fruity and chocolate/caramel/etc. I would definitely get gelato here again. My husband got a soft serve ice cream dipped in S'mores. Omg! The S'mores dip was so good. It was chocolatey and had mini dehydrated marshmallows in it. My husband ordered a large ($5 taxes included), but I think they gave him a small because it looked small and they only charged him for a small ($4 taxes included). That's ok, we should be moderating our intake of sweets anyway, lol. The ice cream was rich and creamy. The dips are an extra $1, so you can get soft serve without dips too ($3 for a small and $4 for a large, inclusive of taxes). Service was friendly. We went during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Staff were wearing masks, physical distancing rules were in place, and there was hand sanitizer by the entrance. There are picnic tables and patio tables out front. Free parking in the private parking lot.
