Review Summary

Overall, Ginkgo Café Bar comes across as a stylish and cozy brunch spot that many reviews find convenient for after class or work. The vibe and decor are commonly praised, and service is described as friendly and fast on some visits, though slower or less attentive during busy periods. The menu earns praise for flavorful brunch dishes, generous portions, and standout items like halloumi salad, but several meals are called bland, lukewarm, or lacking flavor, and some reviews note changes to the menu and pricing. Beverages are a highlight for many, with solid coffee, a popular bottomless mimosa, and good cocktails at happy hour, though a few guests feel inclusions or pricing could be clearer. Experience can vary by visit, with occasional concerns about value for money, small issues such as hair in food or cleanliness, and noise levels depending on the time of day. Taken together, it remains a go-to spot for brunch and casual drinks with a mix of positive remarks about staff and atmosphere interspersed with criticisms of price or consistency.

Food was good but service is atrocious in the sense that it doesn't exist. Waited half an hour for someone to take our order & the only reason they did is because we managed to catch a different server on their way by our table. Save yourself the time & try another breakfast spot

L'ambiance & la salle est belle mais la table n'a pas été lavée, & était collante. Il y a avait aussi du sucre à notre arrivée, moyen en temps de pandémie.... Ensuite, la serveuse n'a jamais rempli les verres d'eau à par à notre arrivée. Lors de l'addiction, nous avons demandé les factures puis la personne (une homme) nous a oublié nous sommes allés de l'avant pour aller payer. La nourriture est bonne & bien présentée. Malheureusement, le service est moyen.

Ambiance agréable & détendue, nourriture délicieuse. Si vous allez y faire des devoirs, la musique peut être dérangeante.

We had a lovely & delicious brunch. With our reservation we didn't have to wait. The food was great & no delayed in service even though was super busy. Our server was very nice & well as the hostess. The ambiance of the restaurant was a plus, very nicely decorated. The only negative is the bathroom, which is in a really rough state.

J'aime toujours aller manger là la nourriture est excellente mais la dernière fois on avait réservé a l'avance pour 11h & quand on est arrivé il n'y avait pas de table pour nous & une longue file de personne. On nous a dit de faire la file pis d'attendre même si nous on avait réservé. Finalement on a du aller ailleurs.
