Receiver Cafe & Bistro — Restaurant in Charlottetown

While the coffee is great, the chai latte and food was extremely mediocre. We ordered the Receiver breakfast and asked for it to be vegan. They didn’t bring the vegan sausage that is a part of the extra $3 charge. They apologized for it and offered a muffin, but when we said we were already too full, they didn’t offer any discount for the missed item on the bill.

One of the servers whom we asked to bring ketchup left and never came back. I had to go downstairs and ask for it myself. That same server when asked if they had any aioli for the potatoes said “No” but the other server whom I spoke to downstairs said they had garlic aioli and brought it to us.

Finally, the vegan scramble itself was borderline bitter, because perhaps to match the color of eggs, the chef added too much turmeric, which is a big no! Ask any person of Indian origin!

The multigrain toast was dry toasted and felt like my mouth went to war with my food. We had to ask for a side of butter as it was never offered to us.

I can’t believe how many things went wrong today with just one little order! This is our day 2 of visiting Charlottetown, which we love as a city. Hopefully we find better coffee/breakfast...

Absolutely adore Receiver’s coffee, food, and service! It is a hot spot for both locals and tourist alike, a community of coffee lovers and warm smiles. With 3 main locations in Charlottetown there is always something for everyone. Try the airy and bright brass shop, the cozy and hipster Vic Row location, or the Bakery and Roasting hub at Milky Way (for non locals, these are the 3 locations). LOVE their sour dough and the specialty baked goods like the croissants and cookies are great! The food and drink menus are versatile serving both classic breakfast and lunch options, in addition to fun and exiting weekly creations. My staples are the cheesy eggs on toast, the breakfast bowl, the Milky Way burrito, and I am ALWAYS down for some monkey bread and a coffee. I just tried the Jan 2024 special Biscoff waffles and WOWOWOWOOWOW I want these AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!

Fresh, delightful food and staff! Certainly gets busy at times especially in tourist and cruise ship season but totally...

Nice clean cafe with ideal location. Food and coffee were great! Service, on the other hand, was stale and cold. I stepped up to the counter with a smile and said, "Hi, how are you?" to the person at the register when she beckoned me to step up to the till with nothing more than a nod. I was responded with just a, "What do you want?" - no greeting, no smile, nothing.. I gave my order. Said please and thank you. Got nothing back from the person serving me. Didn't get anything from the barista who simply dropped my order on the corner of the counter. We were several people waiting for their food and drink. The order sat there for a minute before one of us asked the barista who the order belonged to. Barista just glanced at the production screen and announced a name without even looking at the customer. We glanced at each other and shrugged. You know, if you expect people to tip a minimum of 18% for takeaway coffee and pastries, maybe give a bit more warmth than what...
