We've been in for scones and tea, had meals and shared a teapot tucked in a knitted cozy, and I look forward to going back for more of the same. The restaurant has an eclectic design of British teacups and teapots hung around the walls. My favourite table has a window seat in it, like a bay window, with a pillow for back support, with a British flag design on it. Aren't there likenesses of the Queen (Elizabeth II) around the shop? I believe so, and wonder what they will do now that QEII has passed on? Perhaps they will eventually post pictures of King Charles III. It will be my pleasure to go back to check it out. But that will have to wait until after October 5, as they are currently closed for holiday.

My husband and I were in Brockville and wanted to grab some lunch. Truth be told, be initially went…read moreto another cafe but were told they were not serving lunch that day. I was disappointed by that, but because of that we discovered Tait's and are we ever glad that we did! We both got the Tait's Daily Deal, which was $7.95 for a half sandwich, soup and dessert. What a deal indeed. For the sandwich you can have either egg salad or ham (it was not specified but it was cooked ham and not smoked ham), your choice of one of the daily soups (small size), which that day was cream of tomato bacon, or harvest turkey and ham, and your choice of dessert that day, which was coconut cream pie, chocolate pie, or lemon meringue pie. Both my husband and I got the ham sandwich (I got mine on gluten-free bread - I try to eat a gluten-reduced diet, but I can tolerate and do eat gluten. My husband got his on the cheese bread). He got the Cream of Tomato and Bacon soup, and I got the Harvest Turkey and Ham soup. He got the Coconut Cream pie and I got the Lemon Meringue pie. Everything was delicious! I love how you can get so many toppings in your sandwich and the toppings are free. I got lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers and cheddar cheese. There is also no extra charge for gluten-free bread. Since it's a half sandwich you get, they usually take one slice of bread and cut it in half, but the lady said since the gluten-free bread is so small and I was getting the pieces near the end of the loaf, she gave me two slices of bread, otherwise my sandwich would be miniscule, lol. I really appreciated that (as this little girl, actually has a big appetite, haha). Like I mentioned earlier, the ham was cooked ham, and while I much prefer smoked ham, for the price I can't complain too much. The gluten-free bread was delicious, very soft and not crumbly nor dry. My soup was hearty and not too salty, which is usually my complaint with soups. The pies were also delicious. The crust was not overly thick, which is a complaint I usually have with pies. I appreciated the gesture of placing a toothpick in my pie before wrapping it in plastic wrap to prevent the meringue from sticking to the plastic. As you can see from my photo, this action was only partially successful, lol, but that's ok, it still tasted great, and in these times, we are all just trying to do the best with what we have. The staff were really friendly and courteous. We visited during the Covid-19 Pandemic, so staff were wearing masks (mandatory order, masks in all public indoor spaces, so all customers were in masks as well). However, they were not wearing gloves, which I wasn't too crazy about, but they did wash their hands (I would have preferred washed hands PLUS donning of new gloves). Our meals were such a great deal and we were even able to snag one of the tables at the front of the bakery to enjoy our food outdoors (since it was during Stage 2 of restaurant re-openings during the Covid Pandemic so indoor dining was forbidden, but outdoor dining was permitted). The bakery/cafe is on the main drag in Brockville. Street parking only, but parking is free and plentiful in Brockville, even downtown Brockville (yeah, I love small towns for this reason, lol, so different from my hometown of Toronto, haha). Tait's will be our go-to place for lunch from now on when we're in Brockville :)

We stopped at Tait's for lunch, on the way home from Brockville. Initially, we came in for the…read morebakery, but then we discovered the kitchen in the back half of the store was offering lunch. Maybe not 100% of their usual daily fare was on the menu, only lacking on this day because of COVID restrictions. The restaurant does indeed comply with Provincial Regulations, only allowing a certain number of people into the restaurant at a time, and everyone coming in and working in the place was wearing a mask. At the bakery, we asked about a few tempting items, but as we wanted something more substantial than sweet goods, we were guided to the back half of the space where we found a full functioning restaurant; we both knew we'd end up back at the bakery afterwards! Surely there would have been tables and chairs to sit at, if only we weren't in a lockdown. Hubby asked what the specials were, and we were told chicken noodle soup or cream of asparagus soup. He would have ordered the chicken soup, but we asked what was under "door number 3", and he was sold! It was chili, though not on special that day. I ordered a salami sandwich with lettuce, pickle, and mustard, on pumpernickle bread. Everything was tasty enough, as well as affordable. Apparently this place has the best coffee in town, but we had just ordered previously at an other coffee shop. Taking note of this for next time! Back at the bakery section, we purchased a delicious apple cake, day old apple fritters, half a dozen raspberry or date flavoured oatmeal turnovers, and a loaf of multigrain bread. Everything was delicious. I look forward to one day being able to go back to enjoy eating at this establishment.

It's a tiny space, in the basement of a building, accessible via ramp or stairs at the side of the building. The shop is cutely decorated with funny sayings on signs next to the seating area. They offer a few varieties of lunch specials, like a whole or a half sandwich with beverage and 2 cookies, and three different types of bread. I ordered the half sandwich (egg salad on 12 grain bread), with a s'mores cookie and a turtle cookie, which were great. The coffee was so so. It's convenient but they've got competition in the vicinity.

He asked to see the dogs official ID card, which I informed him does not exist in this country. He said he would get in trouble with the health agency. I let him know that as a "medical dog" she has accompanied me to restaurants, hospitals, grocery store and so long as she wears her vest and acts accordingly it's not supposed to be an issue. The only thing that would have satisfied him was a copy of my medical record, which I could have produced, but with his approach in general, condescending tone and general unfriendliness - Since he exercised his believed right to deny us access, I decided that instead of producing a copy of my medical record, I would exercise my right to spend my $ elsewhere. In doing so I discovered a place called Tait's Bakery. Not only did they serve us, let us stay in and awesome service, they were not surprised to hear of my encounter at this location. So encourage you to go elsewhere for service!

We asked, and they've only been open two weeks! It's a lovely English style pub with tin-looking walls and dark furniture - everything is new and tidy. There are booths to sit at, a long bar, and high tables near the window, so there are some nice seating options. We tried the cream of carrot and ginger (soup of the day) and it was outstanding. I tried the sandwich of the day, a roast chicken with caramelized onions on 'mediterranean' bread, which was a simple white bread with some bits of kalamata olives in it, I think. I had an option of fries, salad, or potato salad, and went for the salad, which was a pile of lovely fresh greens with a creamy balsamic on top. Another of us had the chicken leek casserole which was huge and tasty. With some tricky to find imports on tap like Newcastle brown and Old Speckled Hen, we really felt like we'd stumbled into a nice example of a UK pub in Brockville. They have a bunch of premium and imported options for beer on tap plus a reasonable wine list. Worth a stop!
