Reviews describe La Finca Café as a bright, cozy spot with a welcoming vibe and a strong focus on breakfast and coffee. The food gets high marks for variety and a homemade feel, with standout dishes like shakshuka, frittata, croque madame, a salmon and kimchi sandwich, and a much loved bagel BLT. Pastries and desserts earn frequent praise, especially cinnamon rolls, croissants and locally made yogurts and chocolates. Coffee is consistently praised for quality, with smooth lattes, bold cortados, and well balanced cappuccinos, though a few notes mention temperature or speed issues. The atmosphere is described as charming, relaxed, and family friendly, sometimes lively and busy with a small space that can get loud, though a back terrace adds charm. Service receives praise for friendliness and efficiency when possible, but lines and waiting times during peak hours are common critiques. Overall La Finca Café comes across as a reliable go to for breakfast or brunch with good coffee, tasty in house food, and a welcoming vibe.
Had an excellent cortado & frittata for lunch. Just don't come here if you are in a hurry - the restaurant gets very busy for lunch. The restaurant also gets pretty loud since it is such a small space.

There are plenty of coffee shops near our hotel, but we were lucky to discover this one. When we arrived, there was a long line, but the service was fast, so it never felt like a problem. I wish I had asked the name of the lady at the cashier-she was incredibly friendly & welcoming, even though she was busy.
I ordered a matcha latte & a breakfast danish, & both were delicious! Exactly what I needed to start the morning: a positive vibe, a simple breakfast, & great taste. Honestly, it's a 1000/10!
Beautifully open cafe with delicious coffee & a good assortment of food & pastry. I had the frittata & it was amazing-cooked perfectly, topped with goat cheese & a simple salad.
Can get busy, but they do a good job of managing tables; we had no problem finding a place to sit
We ate there for lunch during jazz fest. Had their'brunch' which was a poached egg on bread with ham & grated cabbage plus latte. Tasted ok but extremely salty- drank at least three glasses of water there & more after leaving. Plus $60 for two people seems like a lot to me. Otherwise ok for a busy cafe.
A very delightful & busy cafe. I just had a latte but the food looked great. Obviously a choice for locals out for their Sunday morning. Friendly & efficient service, definitely recommended
Very busy breakfast nook with yummy breakfast options! We stopped in before our flight Sunday & the food was even better than expected. We chose the place due to positive / high reviews but we left very happy. Ordered the danish breakfast & the brunch, cappuccino & a mocha. Was so good I wish we lived here so we can go back.

Never had grilled cheese like this before. Leeks & mustard worked wonders. The chicken & herb sandwich was really good too! Combined with the fresh orange juice & the ambiance this made for a perfect quick brunch. Visited again after 3 years. Shakshuka was good. As was the frittata. I just hope service was a bit faster i think it was busy time. Loved the financier. I genuinely missed their old menu. Their leeks & mustard sandwich i still remember to this day. I wonder why its a redesign & they've leaned on muted flavors. Not bad but missed the pizzaz.
We came in late morning on a summer weekday & this place was really busy, but we were able to place our order & got the food quickly! Also love the vibe & art work on the walls. Highlights-the coffee products & sweets were delicious. So was the shakshuka. The frittata -perhaps canadian frittatas are different but all the folks in our party that tried it thought that it was off. Bottom line - have anything besides the frittata & you & your stomach will be happy.
The busy-ness of this place is testament to its quality. The pastries & drinks are really good. You can work in some areas & others are focused for socializing. Love the aesthetic & outside area as well!

Delicious food, lovely service, great ambience & all for a fair price. Be early if you plan for brunch, as the place & get busy. Their orange juice & the cinnamon roll are must-tries.
