I asked for soup instead of fries and was not disappointed, it was creamy and peppery and delicious. The burger was great but needed a small hit of acid, adding ketchup helped bring it home. I think a tomato chutney on this would be stellar. The Reuben and Parmesan fries were a hit with my partner, we would definitely and will definitely be back. We also got a skor cheesecake for later, I think I'm in love with a pastry lol. We will be back to try more menu items but mainly so I can continue my love affair with that cheesecake

We went in at the end of the day to get pastries for breakfast. They suggested we come back in the morning when the selection was better and they were hot. We needed to check out of our Le Boat by 9, but there was time since they open at 8. It was a good suggestion. The family was all happy with their pastries. There was a gluten free vegan breakfast bar, but I passed. It's just not the same as an awesome pastry treat.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute little cafe. Ambiance is nice…read morebut I wasn't wowed by my cinnamon bun or tea. The Long Version: My husband and I met my husband's sister and her husband here to hang out before we went to see a show at the Studio Theatre. I got a cinnamon bun ($3.50) and a herbal tea ($3.50), and my husband got a black coffee ($2.75). The cinnamon bun was unremarkable in my opinion. It was just ok, maybe even a bit dry, and also on the thin side. Not thick and fluffy. My tea was just a tea bag from Four O'clock Teas (I got Turmeric Cinnamon, which at least is a more unusual flavour that I haven't seen in stores). The temperature was nice and hot, but it was just bagged tea from a brand sold in health food stores. The inside of the cafe is nice. We sat in the front room near the service counter, but there are back rooms that are a bit more quiet. I would say the ambiance is the nicest thing. Service was pleasant. Maybe some of their other baked goods have more oomph and maybe their crafted drinks are special. My experience was just ok, but it might have been what I ordered.

I found the Village Bean Coffee place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I opted for the soup and sandwich combo. Now, I usually don't eat bacon, but I don't know what came over me that day. I ordered the BLT and their soup of the day, which was corn chowder (full of bacon bits). The portion of both the sandwich and the soup were very generous. The combo with a san pellegrino can was about 13$, which is pretty decent. The soup was pretty good and so was the sandwich. The shop has cute local art on display on the walls and local papers on the tables to read while you're eating. Overall, it's a small town restaurant that is convenient and pretty quick service. If you're in town, you should stop by this place for a nice small town feel.

From the beautifully decorated walls with cherry blossom paintings to the owner's very own toy collection (which im incredibly jealous of), my inner child was satisfied! They have very special tasty drinks and food on their menu. The bubble egg waffles are made fresh and slightly warm, pairing well with the cold scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle. The smoked salmon also was not fishy whatsoever and OUUU don't get me started on the deluxe chicken waffle sandwich. It was our first time trying it and we thought the chicken would we wrapped in an egg waffles shell, but surprise! They added a very warm and soft bread ON TOP of the egg waffle. Tbh i'm usually not the biggest fan of plain white bread and was afraid that it'll be stale or chewy, but I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this- it was literal perfection. Beyond the soft chicken, inside the sandwich has pickles, lettuce, and mayonnaise. The dirty coffee was also so YUM, but it can be pretty heavy. It's sweet from all the chocolate drizzle and slight cream on the top, but pairs well with the coffee at the bottom- just make sure that after you take the first sip, to stir well! But warning- might not be ideal for those who are black coffee fanatics and don't have the biggest sweet tooth!

We will definitely come back and am hoping they will extend their hours as they grow. I also liked the atmosphere.
