As it's thin crust and I was quite hungry, I was able to finish the entire box on my own. That saying, you could easily share it if you're not overly hungry. They have a large selection of food items to choose from as well as pastries and baked goods. I personally don't really care for their desserts but I'd totally come back for pizza and coffee. Customer service was wonderful. They had someone constantly going around and cleaning up dishes/garbage. I even heard them immediately offer to waive a customer's bill because their order wasn't ready when they arrived to pick it up. The dining area was about 50% full around 5 pm so finding seating wasn't an issue.

Service is nice and they bring your food you your table. The breakfast sandwich is just the right size. Today I tried a sandwich called Anthony Bourdain's Favourite Sandwich. It had a lot of meat and cheese. It was perhaps a little big for me but it was certainly tasty. The coffee is always good. Noise levels are well under control. Parking is generally available but there's street parking too. The flights of coffee are very popular. I recommend Aspen.

If you order a treat to stay, you get that at the til, drinks are picked up at the counter and they call out by beverage order as they are made. My kids were not a fan of the cookie dough donut- it's probably cuz it was a cake donut and they found it a little dry, but I liked it to go with my drink. They also make kid size hot chocolate too and they do a decorative latte finish on top- made my kid feel very fancy & special. I guess some items sell out quickly, I'd like to come back for a chance at the avocado toast before it sells out! Also love how there's free WiFi and a crossword puzzle available!

Located literally…read morehidden in the garden centre it was a little hard to find but I did get to take a very cool flat escalator. I forgot how many cool nich-nacks were in this store so walking through it to find a bakery was a blast. A large variety of goodies with clearly marked flavors and prices was nice to see. I ended up with a mint choc chip meringue and a caramel square. The meringue was large and impressive looking. Definitely a looker but I wish the flavor was stronger and that there were Choc chips throughout and not just on-top. It was melting your mouth as expected. The caramel square was Amazing. Soft definitely homemade caramel on-top a soft cookie crust. The proportion of cookie to caramel was spot on. I would definitely buy the Carmel on its own if that becomes an option! Definitely a great spot to kill some time or look for unique trinkets and grab a tasty snack.

Ice cold drinks. Hot coffee. Cakes and sandwiches. Pretty much everything to snack on if you forgot to pack or prepare for your visit to the zoo. I ussually come in for the air conditioning bc edmonton summer dry heat can get to you if you dont have air conditioning. The place is big and bright. Great for people watching, it was amusing watching the kids play at the fountain from here. There is an outdoor patio as well. Overall its nice to have here. Conveinent. But the coffee is made poorly and its way way way too bitter. But at least now the zoo has a decent place to get a drink or snack in a jiffy. Bonus points: this place serves beer and wine.

There's a couple of tables inside and a few chairs by the window. There's also a few tables outside in the front yard. We ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte with oat milk and a Chai with oat milk. For sandwiches, we ordered a Veggie Wrap with chicken and a Reuben. I was very impressed to see one guy behind the counter making food, taking orders, serving, and just handling everything going on. I was very impressed with my latte. Coffee was flavorful, sweetened perfectly, and oat milk was creamy too. Honestly, I felt like the coffee here was better than even some coffee shops in the area. Great quality coffee. We got our sandwiches and were pleasantly surprised that they were also served with fruit. We had a couple slices of oranges and watermelon, it was so cute. Our sandwiches were delicious. The Veggie Wrap was tasty, full of fresh veggies, and portion size was great too. And the Reuben was hearty, meat quality was top notch, and overall really good. We even talked to the Leonardo himself. He was very down to earth and friendly. One thing I really liked was that he was upfront about what wasn't available and always told me and other customers when he could get to them. I appreciated the honesty. That man was HUSTLING. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. We'll definitely be back and I'll recommend this place to anyone for good food, coffee, and that cozy comfortable cafe vibe.

There were vintage gas pumps and signage too, giving it a very cool vibe. Service was great. Our server was very informative went over the specials and was extremely accommodating with any of our substitutions and additions. We tried the sunrise eggs Benedict, which was like a classic Benny with bacon and the stacked bison grilled cheese on sourdough. Both were very nice. Everything was hot and fresh. The pancakes were literally steaming when they came out and as per our request, we got lots of extra butter and syrup. Oreo milkshake was spectacular. All of their milkshakes look very appealing and visually stunning. They also made dog treats called puppy pies. We bought one and our dog loved it. Thanks Hathaway's Diner!

We got a couple of things: an Almond Croissant, Bulgogi Poutine, a Lavender London Fog with oat milk, and a Peppermint Mocha with oat milk. My Almond Croissant was okay. I know almond croissants are made with leftover pastries, but there was no texture at all. It just fell flat, and lookswise it was physically flat as well lol. It was alright. I wouldn't get the almond croissant again. The Bulgogi Poutine was pretty good. The fries were delicious and crispy. The sauce on top of the fries was slightly sweet, salty, and savory. For me, the bulgogi could've been more flavorful and it didn't taste fresh but I liked the overall dish. Lastly, the Peppermint Mocha was alright. It wasn't spectacular. And I felt the same way about my Lavender London Fog with oat milk. I wish there was more depth in my drink. I think the tea could've been steeped a little longer. Flavor was there in my drink, but it wasn't strong enough. It was slightly disappointing since I've had amazing London Fogs before, and this one just wasn't up to par. Also my drink was slightly warm, not too far off from lukewarm. I feel like the price doesn't exactly correlate with quality for most things here. If we come back here, I'd be willing to try different things and pastries. But I don't think my rating would change much.
