The cinnamon bun griller was a cool idea. I would try it again, perhaps they over toasted it because it was crunchy like a cookie sandwich. The eggs, toast, and coffee were great. Honestly, if it wasn't as expensive I would give 4 stars.

We had no problems finding parking on a Thursday late morning. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing and photo worthy.

The layout is spacious and the decor is average. The seating arrangement is free for all, so I imagine it might become difficult to find a spot during busy times (or maybe people are more courteous in Thunder Bay than Toronto, so it is not an issue!) The food is amazing. The serving is generous and it is quite delicious! The coffee is out of this world. Full bodied and flavorful. It is a wonderful place. I highly recommend trying this place out!!

We came here for Sunday brunch with friends and ordered the Timberjack Special (all day breakfast…read moremeal) and Mojakka Meal (homemade menu). My husband and I wanted to try the Finnish staples. Overall, the food was good. The breakfast was standard and as expected. I liked the Finnish pancakes because they were soft, buttery, and the right amount of eggy. I just wished the dish was a bit more filling. My husband enjoyed his Mojakka stew -- it was hearty and comforting. The beef was tender. It wasn't the most flavourful stew, but I think the point of this stew is to be hearty and classic rather than unique / bursting with spices. Again, my only criticism would be the portion size being on the smaller side. The service was prompt and friendly.

He did a great job on a very busy shift. He handled all our requests and provided good insight on the menu. Food was excellent (both our kids ate their full meal which is a win!) and they had a small but solid beer list. We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area. Highly recommend! *of note, plan for a wait on busier nights. They have a game room and had a bonfire going and poured drinks for us while we waited. Wasn't an issue for us, but the wait was about 40min and climbing.

We told him there was 4 of us. He pointed at a table and walked away and we sat down. He came back with 3 waters. Never brought another water. Refilled the ones we had, but never brought a 4th. We did not have other drinks. Then my friend and I decided to split an entree. 3 times he said he would bring an extra plate. The extra plate never came. We will probably be back because its an easy place to go, but it wasn't the greatest experience.

It's essentially thin crepes that has a soft chewy texture with a great crisp on the outside edges. We added the in-house strawberry compote, which was nice, but I almost preferred the eggy crepey flavour on its own hehe! We also had their Eggs Benedict, which was done right, although their house potato's weren't crispy to my liking.

Ordered the wild rice cheesy bread, the poutine and the chili shrimp. The bread had a great flavor and chew, the cheese was stringy and abundant. The poutine fries can feed 4 ppl. Loved the brown gravy and the crinkle fries had a lot of shredded cheese that gave a great sharp flavor. The shrimp remained crispy even with the spicy chili sauce drizzled on top. I gave this 4 stars bc the ambiance of the dining room was drab. No music, complete silence. No decor. The servers lacked any personality that made us feel like invited guests.

So, we kind of had no other option to eat here before everything closed and we really had nothing to eat. But for what it's worth, it was good. We arrived around 7pm. The dining room still had seating available. All the side tables by the windows were taken, but we were offered a booth table. Our server was nice/friendly. Wait times for the food was decent. I opted to go for the chicken strips basket. I personally would not call this dish a "basket" because neither did it come in a basket nor did it have enough chicken strips to fit in a basket. But, it tasted good - crunchy on the outside and good meat on the inside. The coleslaw and the wild rice soup that was offered weren't top quality, but tasted okay. There honestly wasn't anything impressive about this place, but was able to enjoy a decent meal and a nice window view outside looking out towards Canada.
