Café Archibald — Restaurant in Moncton

Where to start.... I KNOW!! Coffee. My wife, being lactose intolerant tries to avoid creamer or whipped cream on coffees or such drinks. She saw them bring me this wonderful Large mug of cafe mocha (honestly can't remember the name) with a nice large swirl of tasty whipped cream on top... She now takes these lactose pills before we go because the coffee was amazing. And I'm not just referring to the one, we have tried all of them and they are all solid and do not disappoint.

The food. We have gone quite a few times now. The wife loves the crepes, this is our go to brunch/ afternoon date stop because of those crepes. Personally I use to only have my crepes with some bacon and rolled like a burrito, the crepes here aren't just your home made ones that are flappy and boring; lord no, they are perfectly filled and layed on your plate without being overwhelming or undeserving.

I usually order off the cute little stand on the table that generally has different items every so often. Pretty sure it's the special of the week or month, the broccoli soup I had a couple months back was amazing along with this very simple salad with what seemed to be a similar to thousand Island dressing but a touch different. The sandwich it came with- turkey with cranberry type of jelly was amazing (wife stole half).

The service if great, they seem happy to serve you, they don't forget about you and very relaxed. Great atmosphere for dates!

We have gone at least a half dozen times and...

Service was great, the reason I gave 3 stars is because the food wasn’t great at all, the service is what didn’t make me give it a 1 star. The only food that had any type of seasoning were the potatoes. The ham, it’s not thick ham on a regular egg Benedict it’s sliced pieces 2$ packets from Walmart. The bacon, probably from those pre cooked from Costco (not impressed). The crepes were so gross lol I’m sorry, but it’s the truth. My niece who loves sugar, especially chocolate took one bite and was done with it. I’ve been cooking since I was 10 years old, that’s 19 years of experience, I know my foods. I would recommend going somewhere else, we love to support local but if locals can’t even have proper food then they shouldn’t serve at all. If you’re young and want seasoned food go somewhere else, if you hate pepper because it’s too spicy this is the...

I've been here several times and the service is hit or miss. I was really disappointed the last time (my last time going during my time in Moncton) as it seems they don't have a standard version of their food. I usually order the bagel with cream cheese and jam as the jam is soooo good. But the last time they brought me a stale untoasted bagel with the cream cheese already on it. So I asked about it usually being toasted but she said it isn't always the same which is super strange...so I couldn't get it toasted without throwing out the bagel (I don't like wasting food so I just ate it). It's way better when they served it all the other times, toasted with the cream cheese and jam on the side. A little waste of money for my last visit. Hopefully they standardised...
