Norah Café de l'Anse est fréquemment salué pour son atmosphère chaleureuse et son emplacement magnifique au bord de l'eau, ce qui en fait un lieu prisé pour la détente. Si de nombreux clients apprécient la qualité du café, des pâtisseries et des plats proposés, les expériences varient considérablement en ce qui concerne le service et les délais d'attente. Certains visiteurs soulignent l'accueil chaleureux du personnel, tandis que d'autres rapportent de longues files d'attente, des températures de plats irrégulières et des difficultés de service occasionnelles aux heures de pointe. Bien que l'espace intérieur soit limité et parfois bondé, les terrasses extérieures offrent un cadre pittoresque que beaucoup jugent très agréable, malgré quelques remarques sur le stationnement et l'accessibilité pour les vélos.
The view & the quality of the coffee make this place a real gem especially during summer but I will be honest on weekends this place gets packed quickly! Must be a sign….
Cafe Norah is not what it used to be. Now it's overrun with cars, crowds, & lines. (TLDR: no parking, no seating, 2 hrs to receive food).
It seems that Instagram has created all this hype & now the cafe cannot keep up. I'm seeing Google reviews of people calling it an'Instagrammable cafe'…& this is the problem.
For several years I've been coming to this little cafe. It's always so fun & relaxing: great food, great atmosphere, busy on the weekends, but never overly full. The service has always been slow (usually very little wait to place an order, but a significantly longer wait for the food & drinks to arrive) & they can definitely run out of food towards the end of the day on a weekend. But that's to be expected for a family-run cafe. Sitting in their beautiful garden, one doesn't mind the wait.
Well...on Sunday we went on a much-anticipated drive to Norah & we were totally shocked. There were CROWDS! I truly don't know what happened: cars filling the lot & the entire entrance & nowhere to park, a line to order that went out the door & around the corner about 40 people long. Nowhere to sit once you receive your food.
We waited for 30 minutes in line in the hot sun & only got halfway through the line. Then we saw the sign saying it would take 45+ minutes to receive your food AFTER placing your order (which would be almost 2 hours after our arrival), so we left.
The line outside resembles something one would find in a big city, not a cafe in a small town. Who wants to go out for lunch & have to wait 2 hours to actually eat?
I don't begrudge the cafe owners their success, except I'm not even sure THEY want this. They clearly cannot keep up with the demand & it must be so stressful for them to have such crowds & not be able to give people a quality experience.
RIP my beloved Norah.

Waited an hour in line just for them to tell us there was no more food left, they ran out of soup & bread.....a better system is needed for a cut off time especially during the high season so people don't waste their time in line.
Cute concept. Feels like you are far out of the city on a slow & quieter day. I wouldn't recommend visiting on weekends as it gets crowded but a weekday morning should be fine! Limited parking spots available! Try to carpool if going in a group 🫶
Cute coffee spot with a nice view, & the drinks were good. But the kitchen closes at 3PM, so show up around 11-12 - expect an hour to hour & a half wait to order, then another 45 minutes for your coffee & a table outside if you're lucky. By 2:30 they were already out of sandwiches, & ingredients. Barely any pastries left.
Honestly, given the wait, I don't think it's worth it.
Great place, great atmosphere. Very limited choice of food but i suppose its not their main selling point. The line can be abysmal after 11am on the weekend.
Attente très longue de 2h30 pour accéder au café & après 30 minutes pour un bagel cream cheese. Le croissante goûte le plastique & ne goûte pas du tout frais . Le cadre est magnifique mais franchement ça en vaut pas la peine.
Beautiful café with a great view, a relaxing atmosphere, & friendly service. The coffee was excellent, & it's the perfect spot to sit back & enjoy the scenery. Highly recommend❤?
