Really enjoyed their breakfast options! I got a BLT bagel sandwich, on toasted sesame bagel. Their sausage egg and cheese biscuit breakfast sandwich. Their egg and cheese wrap, that’s lightly toasted. It was soooo comforting and delicious. Love the variety of options. Also, love the cozy vibes in the cafe.

Go here every week for lunch and all the staff are lovely and the food is so so good. The tomato soup is cheesy! So perfect. And the sandwiches are good.

Great place to grab a sandwich and coffee. Portions are a good size and the flavor is really excellent. And sometimes take a while to get served if they’re busy, but the staff are really friendly.

The perfect spot in downtown Ottawa for homemade sandwiches and soup and baked goods, and at very reasonable prices too given the excellent quality. Cozy place to sit at the bar or chill over coffee with a friend. Kind, efficient, friendly staff who remember your name (maybe I’ve been here too often…). Can’t recommend enough!

1st time visit, nice café with some delicious food options. Wasn't really impressed with the rude greeting upon my (first) visit. Will be back tho.
