The focaccias were amazing, fresh bread, tasty ingredients. I had the carne, turkey, & vegetarian, will definitely come back for more, can't wait to try the desserts.
Had an amazing lunch experience! My friend & I split a salad & sandwich & we're glad we did. Portions are generous, quality great & service is top notch. Can't wait to go back!

Very good service rubns was very helpful with choosing what I wanted to eat & has a very good selection of teas & organic products would definitely recommend to anyone
We first came in for the great, heathy & fresh food - then we got to know Rubin & Cat the owners - they make you feel like your part of the family - I come with my business partner during week & the weekends with my son after swim class - I'm never the only Dad with kids - we joke it's like Rubin's Dady/kid daycare - They love the banana smoothie - Thanks Rubin & Cat!

What an amazing addition to the west island. The quality of the sandwiches, salads & drinks is outstanding. Super fresh. I love the decor & ambiance too. It's our new favourite spot for lunch, coffee or a casual dinner.
Astounding. Great italo fusion style cafe at an absurdly good price. Authentic, simple, delicious menu that makes me feel like I'm in Italy despite none of the stereotypically Italian foods being in the menu.
