There was a big table perfectly sized for our large group where we were able to enjoy our donuts and coffees. The place was comfy and cozy and I loved all the plants. The one employee who was there was very kind and prepared our drinks quickly despite being the only one in. We all enjoyed! Just because I noticed some of these reviewes are quite old, I would add that they do take credit cards here (they are NOT cash-only) and they certainly do have espresso. It was a little tricky to find due to signage, but we're glad we did!

AMAZING! We first tried Mr.Puffs in montreal. When my daughter was coming up with things to do in…read moreNiagra Falls she found Mr Puffs and was so excited because we dont have it in the US. The lady behind counter was so helpful with recommending what to get. The strawberry cheesecake mount Olympus was insane. Would recommend swapping out the strawberry syrup on the ice cream, for dark chocolate. We also got the Hazelnut puffs. The cookies and cream ice cream topping sauce was too sweet ( would have preferred dark chocolate). So Mr Puffs is basically fried dough balls with sauce on it. The Puffs are warm and paired with the ice cream, the combination is just insane. The only thing id say is, although we were 4-5 people sharing, we got 2 mount olympus 8 piece and it was an insane amount of ice cream . Id recommend even as a group , get 1 with ice cream and then just some puffs on the side :).

My boyfriend and I stopped by here on our way back from Niagara Falls and we had an amazing…read moreexperience. If you like cute little restaurants, have a sweet tooth, love gelato or have any dairy free friends this is the place for you. When you approach the restaurant you will notice all of the beautiful lights and you might think, "Wow! I want to check that out!" Then to my surprise, this amazing place I wanted to see was exactly where we were going. The ambiance is really cute and just like its out of a movie. The patio is great during the warm months and the interior is so cute with so much to look at to stimulate your sight. Inside the service is fantastic and they have a bunch of dairy free gelato flavours including a few dairy free chocolates. I ordered a small fairy free chocolate gelato with a dairy free chocolate mint chocolate on top. This was one of the best gelatos I have had all summer. My boyfriend ordered a whit chocolate raspberry gelato with a white chocolate on top (his wasn't dairy free) but it was heavenly. This is such a cute dessert shop, I highly recommend you make it a stop going to or heading back from the Niagara region.

If I could give this place 0 stars I WOULD!! The service…read morehere is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS, DISRESPECTFUL and DISGUSTING. Today my friend and I were out for breakfast when an individual in need approached me asking for money for food. Instead I offered to buy them a coffee and a sandwich from the cafe. Before I was even able to enter the cafe, an employee stepped out and blocked the entrance. When I asked what he was doing, he said that the individual was not allowed to enter the cafe. Even though I was puzzled by this, I said that if she is not allowed in then I would like to come in since I will be purchasing the meals. The employee looked at me and said no and stated "if you care so much about people, why don't you just drive them home" this is absolutely the most DISGUSTING behaviour I have ever witnessed from an employee, AND who even says that...like how heartless and selfish can you be. I reiterated to the man that I'm not sure what his problem is with this individual, however I am a paying customer and I would like to buy the food. Once again he refused to let me in, and said that if we didn't leave he would be calling the cops. Additionally stating, "I can't let you buy food, because I'm scared you'll give it to her". Once again the service here is absolutely disgusting, and for an employee to speak to a paying customer that way, just because I was trying to buy an individual in need a meal, is truly horrific.
