★★★★★ 5/5
Absolutely LOVED it. Ordered Pho (Vietnamese beef noodles soup), pad Thai and stir fry pepper sauce dish. All three tasted fantastic and were quite large portions. Service was impeccable, it was quiet at the time, but food came out incredibly fast. Vegetables were crisp and the pepper sauce stir fry was a perfect level of peppery/spiciness. The chef came out and sat behind the counter in the dining area and asked how we were enjoying the meals, all the staff seemed very much interested in the well being of the Cafe. Prices were very very surprisingly affordable given the great service, food taste and portion sizes, no meal cost more than $11.90. Want to go back there again, hopefully bringing friends

Amazing restraunt with some of the best food I’ve had in a very long time. Big portions and great taste alone with a very nice interior as well as exterior seating options.

When I first came here about a year ago, the coffee was terrible. I think it's under a new management now and the coffee was great however the vegetable omelette was lacking eggs. It was thin. It could have been more fuller imo. Service was great though and wait for food was decent considering how busy they were. Recommended place and will be back.

Had breakfast here. Mr. ordered ‘scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and tomato’. He was under charged which had us thinking something was odd. The waitress came out explaining “the chef made a mistake, I hope you don’t mind bacon and tomato”...that’s what he ordered! Coffee was lukewarm and fairly bitter. My eggs bene was great tho.

Very convenient; mostly edible; slightly over-priced cafe with very friendly and nice service where coffee can be great and the following day downright disgusting. For the first time in my life I threw away the coffee after the first sip. Shame, this location is prime for an other Low Road type of cafe here

Tables not cleaned up. Staff had trouble taking order; when coffee order came it was wrong and i asked 3 times for no dukkah and it still came with it. Bruschetta was not fresh and smashed avo had only 4 miserable crumbs of feta with no lemon (it was on the menu). Everyone else at the cafe at the same time were having issues too. Expensive for poor service and miserable, wrong food.

Bit disappointed at the Lunch/Brunch, but staff are really friendly. The chicken burger was nothing that it stated - it was not spicy, fried, or on a brioche bun. By the reviews, I guess it's best to have the Asian menu.
