Delicious food, exceptional service. I wandered in on a whim with my toddler. I had a great cappuccino and scrumptious pumpkin waffle; if I hadn’t been in a hurry I would have stayed for a flaky pastry, too. The wonderful staff brought us to a room with toys so my child could play while I looked at the menu; provided a high chair at our table; and served his (whole!) milk in a plastic cup with a lid and straw. Thank you for accommodating us so kindly! I’m looking forward to going back, and hopefully having dessert!
One of the most pleasant and pleasurable spots I've been to in ages. The food has been amazing at each visit and the staff are very welcoming. Can't wait to visit again.
Such a great spot for lunch. The food is consistently delicious and the service is always wonderful. A must try!
Excellent service! The Pantry staff were very friendly and food was delicious. I had the chicken panini and roasted red pepper soup. Great location for a lunch with the girls.
Friendly service and amazing food, got the grilled cheese and roasted red pepper soup and it was so delicious!
Soo good! Visiting from Ontario and tried out this cafe. I loved my brown sugar latte and I liked the veggie breakfast sandwich (I got it on a croissant). The prices are were great, it was a smaller café, nice and clean, and our server was so kind! Hope to come back one day.
Waited 30 mins to get an overpriced falafel wrap the size of a taco. Zero care to service.
Friendly server, excellent service, delicious foods! Everything is good in here.
Our meal was excellent, and for a great price! Highly recommend the vegan chili especially. You may want to make reservations as it seemed really busy with only a few tables (we got takeout and it travels well!).
Well the most disappointing pannini that I have ever had. It wasnt in on the correct bread.....
A special place with special people and an Hawaiian chicken sandwich with/ guess what / pineapple. Well done.
I cant say enough good things about this place. The staff and peaceful atmosphere enhance the food even more. The menu is simple yet elevated and absolutely delicious. I never want to leave
Gordon Ramsay would be so proud of this place! No pre-made or premixed ingredients used here. This place has absolutely amazing food! Its inside the Dobbin Autism Awareness center, and Im pretty certain that proceeds from restaurant sales go back to supporting the center. Now, on to the food. We ordered chocolate chip waffles, jalapeno waffles, and pineapple chicken sandwich. The waffles were beautifully fluffy and absolutely scrumptious - they were made fresh, not from some premix, which you could really taste. The bananas and chocolate chips were delicious. The pineapple chicken sandwich was amazing - the bread had been freshly made, and had a delightful crunch to it. The chicken was fresh and delicious, and omg, the pineapple salsa! It has been freshly made with freshly cut pinnaple, tomatoes, onions and other goodness. The jalapeno waffles were also made with freshly made jalapenos and the accompanying tomatillo salsa had also been made completely from scratch. You could taste the freshness. 15/10 would def recommend! Will be going back next weekend to take photos - we ate the food too quickly because it smelled heavenly.
Beautiful place and great food.
The food was exquisitely arranged on the plate and tasted wonderful. A top quality restaurant

Lovely lovely cafe. Easily accommodated our group of 6 plus a baby, and the service was excellent.
One Of my fav lunch spots near health science and mun. Wish I went more often. Not super quick but always enjoyable delicious.
Great staff and amazing food!
The people and food were both great!
Fantastic combination of flavors every time. Homemade everything. Desserts you will die for. Super friendly staff and a deck outside for in the summer time. Oh and they grow their own vegetables on site!!!
I have ate here several times; and enjoyed it, and I will tell you that I am particular; and I enjoy going out to eat if i can find good service, and food that suits me, and that means considered my diet and restrictions. People say that i am too particular and expect too much; and I do because I know about service, and I read the book about what waiters are supposed to be like 69 years ago; however it seems that nobody else read it, (except the waiter in there), and my aunt worked in a fancy place in new york 9o years ago, and she knew it. This place does it all; and they know about being a good waiter. Unfortunately this place is not opened all hours and all days but a part from that, the service is good, the food is good and they deserve my 20 to 50 percent tip which I only give when everything is excellent, and only once did they get my desert wrong in 10 times and that was only because 2 or 3 people started to attend my table. The waiter is excellent but like all things too many cooks or waiters at the same table is just too good of a service but unfortunately, only one of them brought the desert; and i wouldnt mind at all if they had brought 3 deserts and one was wrong; but really even the wrong one was the best one but a little more cholesterol than the one that I had picked. that day, I only left a 5 percent tip, I think or did I leave any? I know I saved enough to buy another desert.
For a cafe, espresso was from a kcup and was extremely expensive. Cant speak to the food, hears its great.
