I come here for the coffee and atmosphere as my food constraints don’t allow me to partake of the delicious looking and smelling foods! If you are a foodie and open to all I would recommending this place a try. The coffee is well made and they always top the latte with a fun design. Today I got a sign from my long past fur babies (kitties - Jake and Josie) that they miss us too! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the foods and drinks served here. It is all hand made with local ingredients. The prices are reasonable and the smells are enough to drive a vegan to consider naughty delights!

Stopped in today - it was an absolute 5/5 from me! Really friendly and mellow service, great coffee (I believe they use local, Level Ground Coffee), and the food was incredible. My girlfriend and I shared the Granola, and the Mediterranean Plate. Super tasty, surprisingly affordable in the grand scheme of things, and great value for the quality of food. Afterwards, the chef manning the pizza oven even came over and shook our hand. True local neighbourhood experience. Looking forward to coming back and trying the Mushroom Pizza!

You might first come here because of the amazing location. Steps from the water and the iconic Fisherman's Wharf. A beautiful waterfront walk in either direction. You might stay for your food and drink because the atmosphere is lovely. Seating inside and out, covered or open air. You will come back because the offerings are delicious! They make it all in-house Standard and unique pastries, lots of healthy veggie dishes, savoury offerings including fresh pizza from their pizza oven You will be a fan and return again and again because of their values. First, the good work ethic and positive attitudes of the people working there actually stands out. Second and most importantly, the business model. I went there with a friend who lives in the area. And I commented about my appreciation for the staff. That's when I learned about how this business is supporting and teaching youth through their training program. This is from the website: "We employ people from all cultures and with all abilities, inclusive of those with substance use and mental health challenges, unemployed, homeless and street-involved, and newcomers. What if we replaced the word "addict" with: “A human being who suffered so much that he or she finds in drugs or some other behavior a temporary escape from that suffering"? — Dr. Mate"

This is an amazing place to come and have lunch or any meal. The food is beautifully prepared with lots of attention to presentation and preparation. We had the salmon frittata, spanakopita, and a Bic egg sandwich. All were amazing! Ella the server was so sweet and pleasant. We see that they have pizzas that they make in this gorgeous woodfired pizza oven. We didn’t try them, but the ones that the people had looked very tasty. Come and try this amazing place!
