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.

Great food & atmosphere.

The food & coffee was great, but the restaurant could use a few upgrades to add some atmosphere - it is surprisingly basic & even shabby. The service was somewhere between terrible & indifferent. My daughter was given a glass of some kind of vinegar/cleanser (which she took a sip of before realizing!), & our server couldn't have cared less. She simply said a dismissive "sorry" & replaced the vinegar with actual water. I would've expected my daughter's coffee to be comped at the very, very least! We were both very confused by the rude service.

Staff took a while to bring us the menu or the check... Also food was subpar. Ordinary for the price paid. Feels more like a cafeteria than a restaurant.

I would say my experience wasn't very good. It's a bottomless mimosa place, but I didn't like that my drinks were tasteless & seemed watered down. The food wasn't bad, & I liked the atmosphere & the high ceilings. Maybe one day I'll give it a try again & hopefully they change their way of serving drinks.
