Review Summary

Ginkgo Café Bar is widely appreciated for its beautiful, sunlit atmosphere and flavorful menu, particularly its popular brunch items like pancakes, poutine, and unique egg dishes. While many guests enjoy the cozy, aesthetic vibe and find the food delicious and generous in portion, experiences remain inconsistent due to fluctuating service standards. Common feedback highlights the need for better staff coordination, cleaner dining areas, and more consistent attention to detail regarding menu accuracy and service timing. Despite some mixed feelings regarding pricing and occasional lapses in professionalism, many visitors find it a convenient and enjoyable spot for a casual coffee, meal, or happy hour, especially given its location.

We waited for almost an hour for the food (40-45 min). There were 3 of us & only 2 of us got our food while the last person waited a while longer. The food was ok not great. The service was ok they didn't refill our water the whole time we were there.

Come here only if you have a lot of time. Got here at noon. Ordered at 12:30. Drink came around 12:50, we got food at 1:25. The food was subpar. Never received any water.

It was very okay. The entrance isn't very welcoming & looks like it is under construction. Once we were seated, we probably waited about 15 minutes before being greeted by our server. Not a huge deal, but there were only 4 other tables at this point. Food was fine but I was not a fan of the breakfast poutine.

The decor was aesthetic & it seemed like they had a nice patio. But the washrooms need work. Great music though

My family was very excited to come try the restaurant & we were very disappointed.

Being seated didn't take long , but it took forever to get served. There was no acknowledgment at all. Servers were in their own world. It took 3 people to serve us. One brought the dish & potato's spilled on the table. Portion was very small especially for my wife's dish which was a Japanese omelet with porc belly. There was only 1 slice of porc. Nothing Japanese about it nor special. I ordered a scramble egg for my 22 month daughter & received a well done egg & chopped into pieces. My kid was agitated as she was hungry & food was not up to par. To add up, waitress was not paying attention & knocked her off which made it even worst. We decided to leave as my kid didn't stop crying we wanted the food to go. Wife ask for boxes & it took long as well just to receive it. She ask for bigger box as they were very small & we didn't even touch the food & was told to try & fit it. Waitress brought 2 more small boxes. Our drink wasn't touched either & waitress didn't even bother giving us a cups to go.

Overall we spent $70 & service was terrible & food was terrible. Very disappointed especially from a person who works in the restaurant business.
