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.

J'ai récemment découvert ce petit bijou pour bruncher & je suis complètement conquis ! L'ambiance est chaleureuse & conviviale, parfaite pour un brunch détendu entre amis ou en famille. Le choix du menu est impressionnant, avec une variété de plats sucrés & salés qui satisferont tous les goûts. J'ai opté pour leur fameux avocado toast & je n'ai pas été déçu - c'était délicieux & frais ! Le service était également impeccable, le personnel était attentionné & souriant. Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous ceux qui recherchent un brunch de qualité dans la région.

Not recommended! They took their time to sit us down (the place was less than half full). They then took 10 minutes to bring us the menu (we code - online only). They then took around 15-20 minutes to take our order. They brought us brunch very fast so that was a relief but our drinks took 30 minutes to be brought to us after we ordered them! While the food was not bad, I was not impressed at all. The potatoes were really good, too bad they ran out of ketchup!! What place sells burgers & runs out of ketchup?!? I'd suggest skipping this place altogether.

I hate when I don't give 5 stars because the place isn't clean & organized. I'm very disappointed with the service, the food was fair but nothing special. So I don't recommend this place, I would not return.

Le serveur nous a prévenu qu'il y aurait un délai en cuisine. Mon burger saumon n'avait aucune garniture à part de la salade. Déçue

So much natural light flowing in the tall windows! Awesome place for a brunch with bottomless mimosas, & they take reservations.

Food was very disappointing - got waffles with « English cream » that was in fact vanilla pudding & tasted like it, & an Eggs Florentine with uncooked spinach, untoasted bread & unmelted cheddar cheese. The kitchen was unable to make their meat lovers Benedict with 2 instead of 3 (or 1) meats, which was the only reason I ended up with a half-baked eggs florentine instead. The only redeeming qualities were a solid cappuccino, due to the filter coffee machine being broken, & very pleasant service. Embarrassing for 20$ per meal with no drinks included. A clear downgrade from a very nice experience with similar meals a few years ago.
