It took awhile to come out, being there were hardly any customers that time of day, but when it came out, it was delicious. Nice bright decor with paintings to look at and friendly staff. My friend liked her salad, which came in a large bowl for around 9 dollars. My Salmon Eggs Benedict was around 20 dollars. Their lattes are quite good as well. Although it's a cafe, my friend says their food is quite good. I would go back for the eggs Benedict and coffee.

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.

My mom and I shared some french toast as well, and it was so yummy! It was fluffy and soft, very edible so it was gone before it went cold. The service was excellent. There was one lady serving people but it's a small place and she managed it so well it didn't even feel busy, so that was not an issue. She was super sweet by the way! She got honey for my coffee and such. Overall, its a good place to go. Not too expensive and its got a lovely, quiet family atmosphere. If I can, I will return!

The place definitely has an old school diner vibe going and that's not from clever decorating. This is an old school diner. We didn't want breakfast and I think that is their specialty so we each ordered the clubhouse sandwich. It came with soup and fries. The soup was from a can so that's not impressive. The sandwich was okay though. Service was prompt and friendly. The washrooms were clean. That's about all I can say. If you are nearby and hungry, by all means stop in. However I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to dine here.

The service wasn't super quick but the espresso beans they use are pretty solid. If you like sweets and are celiac or if you're preferring organic then this is the place for you. Though I'm not as concerned as others about organic this may have the largest selection I've seen at a cafe. Worth stopping in and taking a look for sure. Seating is minimal but there is a lot of great meeting spaces throughout the EPCOR tower. They just recently added chairs/sofas for lounging and makes it a nicer space as their foyer is so vast. Can't wait for them to get a restaurant, as they plan to have one day!

I mean your looking at $7 for a latte the size of a medium coffee. Also, their portions are on the small side considering how much you are paying. Today I didn't have time to go out the building and grabbed a salad. YUCK! Lettuce was brown and bitter. Portion was side salad size for $8.99. Croutons on top were soggy so you know it's not fresh. I HAVE TO GET BETTER AT PACKING MY LUNCH!!!!

It was nice that we were on the patio and there wasn't a lot of traffic noise to interfere with our conversation. Menu is pretty basic but works because this place has been here forever. Service was a little slow and i am not sure why because there wasn't many people here, and most of them are on the patio with us. Server was okay but doesn't get any stars for being friendly. We decided on a the panko crusted halibut and hubby decided on the burger. Our friends chose the egg salad sandwich and the veggie burger. Food was okay but portions were really small. *(Look at my fish). What I will say is their potato salad was amazing. Really worth looking into. My fish was fine flavour wise but a little over cooked and so small. I probably won't come here again unless it is to pick up the potato salad to go.

My wife and I both ordered the Chandru Special for $17.50. It's a crepe with bacon and eggs inside plus some cheese slices melted on top. There was a side of fresh fruit. The presentation was somewhat lacking as the cheese slices made it look like something you find at your children's birthday party. The dish definitely needed some sauce to help it down. At least the fruit was good. Our server was very skilled at tunnel vision as she didn't see us even when walking right by our table. Eventually we caught her and got a refill for our coffee. She was pleasent enough when she arrived but definitely didn't want to do refills. On a more positive note, my friend ordered an omelet which came with potatoes that looked like thick potato chips. They looked good and he liked them. If I return it will be because I am in the area and can't find a better place. In other words, three stars out of five.

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.

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.

My husband and youngest daughter had a hot dog (which for $1.50 is a steal of a deal), my oldest daughter picked the honey garlic smokie and I chose the jalepeno smokie.
