Very average food. Nice people serving, though service is slow & it wasn't very busy when we came.

Breakfast burrito could use an overhaul - too much mush.

Granola with yogurt was a little uninspired.

Table non lavée en arrivant, pas d'ustensiles, on doit aller commander le repas au comptoir & aller le chercher par la suite. La première impression fut décevante.

Cependant, une fois avec nos assiettes devant nous, nous avons adoré nos repas (Salade-repas César & burrito déjeuner), qui sont à des prix vraiment bons pour la quantité de l'assiette & qui remplissent en masse le ventre.

Le restaurant était cependant plein quand nous sommes arrivés, & donc je met 4 étoiles car je peux comprendre que les employés étaient dans le rush. Nous reviendrons une journée moins achalandée pour réévaluer & peut-être mettre le 5 étoiles global, car la nourriture était définitivement 5 étoiles

What a lovely spot! We arrived late afternoon, close to closing but they couldn't have been more generous in accommodating us. Fabulous food, loved the salmon platter.

Such a great cafe with some of the best pancakes & brunch items I've had. Staff is very friendly & has awesome acoustic musicians playing there especially during POUZZAfest. If you're down here in May for Pouzza it's a must to go for hangover food, or tired from no-moshing at Turbo Haus food if you're not a drinker.

The food is amazing. Everything on the menu is so good. But the wait to get the food is extreme. We were told it might take up to 40 mins when we sat down which we decided to do since we had already committed to eat there but it took about one hour to get our order (small order, 4 people).
The waitress was very kind & apologetic & offered us cookies but I had to keep my kids hungry for an hour before they got to eat!

The homemade breads are insane, coffees are tasty & the vibes are always fun (can catch SpongeBob or adventure time on the projector). A gem!
