It's a tiny restaurant (with an even tinier kitchen). Décor is simple and nice. It's a…read morecomfortable room, facing the street. As the name implies, they serve crepes - plus some daily special soups and 3 or 4 different salads. The background on the restaurant indicates the chef is locally grown, educated and experienced, so that's great too. If yelp allowed, I'd actually give them a 3.5 star rating. Better than A-OK, but some minor items holding them back from 'being a fan'. I have to make a decision though, so 4 it is, as they are completely worthwhile checking out. I had the duck crepe - it was good. The cranberry sauce was more on the tart than sweet, and all in it worked. Also had the carrot soup which was also quite delicious. Hubby has the Cassolade (sp?) crepe, which had beans, sausage and I believe bacon. I saw it on the menu, but was afraid to try it. And you know what? I regret my fear. Had a bit and it was fantastic. (As much as I did enjoy my choice, next time I will order this one.) He had the broccoli soup and was happy with it. (I tasted it, and it was great. Not the right choice for my duck crepe (carrot was right), but more cheesy. The area where the restaurant fell down, just a little bit, was in service. I got the impression our waitress was perhaps still new. We didn't get water refills, the salad we opted to split came on one plate (which was fine - but... would have liked to have maybe gotten another plate. Not a crisis, but the difference between mediocre service and great service.) There were a few other little things along those lines. Again, nothing terribly wrong, but this place is, as far as lunch goes, a bit more on the spendy side and it would be nice to get just a little more service (Our lunch was about $55 for two people all in - we would usually spend about 1/2 that on a typical Sunday lunch for two.) I should note our server was very nice and did work to ensure we were happy. No internet. :-/ Would I return: Yes Would I recommend Yes

To start while it might be minor point but the bread that was brought to our table was not even warm. As for my main course I am sorry to say it was the worst meal I have ever had in an Italian Restaurant. How hard is it to make decent spaghetti? The meal was not at all hot! The sauce was too liquid and I felt over spiced. The mussels were at best just okay. The service was very good and again I am responsible for my meal choice no one else!

They don't have a whole lot of selection, but what we had was pretty good. We got a croissant, a lemon brownie, and a salted caramel chocolate chip cookie. I'm not sure what the prices were, but it was a bit under $10 for everything. The lemon brownie was like a lemon square and was simultaneously tart and sweet. It was lovely. The croissant was flaky and tasted fresh. The cookie was a bit too salty for my liking, but wasn't bad. They have gluten-free and keto options too. The man serving us was nice. Worth a visit if you find yourself in Carleton Place, or of course if you live there ;) Street parking only. Of note: Google maps took us to the wrong location and actually to a parking lot nearby for other businesses. The address is on Allan Street so turn on Allan, don't turn southwest on "Mill Street" from Bridge Street like Google Map told us to (Mill Street only runs northeast off Bridge Street, so turning southwest is turning more into an alley way and not really a street).

The Bastardized Coffee house is a cute cafe, and an interesting shop. Street parking out front, and…read morea few steps up to get in. There are not a lot of tables to eat at - only 3, with a few couches interspersed. The staff and patrons are friendly. We got there early today, and had time to look around before our friends got there. This gave us time to wait for a table, It gets busy in here, so ordering can take some time. However, the food was a while coming out. Our food came out well before our friends' food. However, the food was tasty when it did come out. Unfortunately, my eggs were a bit better done than I like them, but the meal was still edible, while we were eating and our friends were waiting for their food, the waitress admitted that they were short staffed by 2 people (you could really tell!) Later on, we heard they had run out of eggs. Although it is an interesting place, with an eclectic menu, and it's not next door for us, I would not be in a hurry to go back. I would give it one more chance, though, in a while, hoping they get their staffing issues sorted.

We picked out several items to bring home: a scone, lemon cupcake, chocolate cupcake, a chocolate raspberry parfait, a raspberry bomb, and a brownie with peanut butter icing. We also both each got a smoothie, one blueberry, honey, Greek yogurt and a strawberry banana. Unbeatable flavor with the smoothies. So many different ingredients and the price was very reasonable! The treats were so very good. The peanut butter icing on the brownie was a little too sweet for my taste but omg still so tasty. The raspberry in the parfait was also too sweet (for our taste) but again, the flavor was SO good. I could not believe how tasty all these things were. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for something sweet and gluten free. It's so hard to get a really good gluten free treats around here and this is the place you can get them! This is my new favorite bakery! Also.. LGBT+ love and inclusion. They also do lunch items that I haven't gotten to try yet, but such a reall, REALLY tasty looking menu for those. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items!

The staff were friendly enough, but never asked how my food was so I didn't tell them. I feel very disappointed in my experience here. They have a large selection of nachos so I tried them. Weirdly enough it's all chicken based but honestly, it felt like a 10-year-old made my nachos. Almost no meat of the affirmed frozen reheated variety- and it wasn't what the young staff said it was. She said it was "grilled chicken breast cut up." It was a breaded frozen patty and not much of it too. A handful of shredded cheese un-melted from its quick pass in the microwave hiding under a whole bunch of wet iceberg lettuce and one or two small pieces of jalapeños. This was really just a suggestion of nachos. But for $15, I would've expected something more quality. Perhaps if I had gotten a coffee and a pastry and played a board game this place would've been the bees knees. I would not suggest it unless it's the only thing open which on this Sunday in Potsdam, which it was. Update: I just read the other reviews for this place. I should've read them prior to coming as I would have looked elsewhere. They really should do better. It could be a wonderful spot. The menu is extensive. If you can't prepare a lot of food well, don't. Try preparing smaller menu VERY WELL. IMHO UPDATE 2: I had upset stomach all afternoon and evening within an hour of eating here
