Overall, MELK Café is described as a stylish, cozy spot with excellent coffee and friendly, multilingual staff. Passion for the beverages is evident with praise for matcha, chai, and a standout cappuccino, and cookies, scones, and banana bread are frequently highlighted as tasty treats. Prices are sometimes described as a bit high, with muffins, scones, and other snacks cited as pricey, though many feel the quality justifies it. The interior and atmosphere are repeatedly praised as warm and inviting, and some reviewers rate it as among the best cafes in the area. Crowding and noise can be an issue, especially on weekend mornings, with tables small and often taken by laptops, shifting the vibe toward a coworking feel. A few comments touch on inconsistency in drink taste or service and on a service charge, but overall staff are friendly and attentive. The place is noted for its versatile seating and occasional outdoor area, with decor and a photo above the bar earning compliments.View restaurant profile

Reviews for Café à La Table present a mixed picture: the coffee and some beverages like matcha are frequently praised, with several customers noting fast, friendly service when it shines, and the cafe's catering and lunch options receiving positive remarks. Desserts and pastries are a frequent disappointment, with the carrot cake described as dense and molasses flavored rather than having recognizable carrot cake flavor or texture, and pastry portions sometimes being too small or inconsistent. The menu feels limited, and certain dishes such as the eggs and smoked meat croissant are criticized as soggy and not worth ordering. Service can be variable, ranging from attentive and engaging to indifferent, which colors the overall experience. Some reviewers still plan to return for the coffee or for positive service elements, but overall the place has potential that is not consistently realized.View restaurant profile

Olive et Gourmando is described as a stylish spot with a lovely ambiance and reliable service, though opinions on value vary and some menu items disappoint. The food receives praise for items like the Cuban sandwich, the chicken melt, the mushroom mac n cheese, and the pastries, while others note small portions, lack of sides with sandwiches, and prices that feel steep for the portion size. Coffee and lattes are hit or miss, and presentation is sometimes marred by expectations that the food should match the decor. Several comments point out that the newer location is convenient and attractive but still pricey, and some brunch and salad choices are deemed average or underwhelming. Overall, the experience is appreciated for quality ingredients and a bakery vibe, but the high prices and inconsistent portions and sides leave some diners wanting more.View restaurant profile

Orange Café is seen as a lively brunch spot in the NDG area with generous portions and a wide menu that covers all day breakfast, brunch and lunch options. Many visits praise the food quality on items like eggs benedict, the O C sandwich, waffles and grilled cheese, and the overall value is described as very good with large servings. The atmosphere is warm and community oriented with friendly staff and a family friendly vibe, and the decor reflects the neighbourhood while a kids menu and coloring options add to the appeal. However, there are recurring complaints about slow or unfriendly service on busy days, long waits to be seated even when seats are available, and occasional inconsistencies such as dishes not arriving hot or items missing or mischarged. The noise level can be high and some reviews indicate the experience worsens on peak times. Overall, Orange Café comes across as a strong go to for brunch with big flavors and generous portions, but experiences vary and service or consistency does not always meet expectations.View restaurant profile
