I eat here regularly, and have been a Loyal customer for over 4 years, however, in the past 2-3 months there has been a significant decline in consistency, quality & service.
It is incredibly frustrating when food items are inconsistent. The corn chowder with chicken is one of their signature soups. However, the consistency of the soup varies from watery and broth I to almost stew-like on other occasions. It becomes "surprise soup" each time its ordered.
The past 4-5 times that I have purchased a large soup from the restaurant, I am now "consistently" receiving 3/4 of a bowl of soup in the large takeout container. Again, I feel like I am paying a premium price for what used to be a quality product, but when I'm only receiving 3/4 of the product paid for, the price becomes unreasonable.
The restaurant refuses to upgrade or fix their credit card machine. Not having the tap feature has been a significant deterrent in coming to the restaurant when I'm looking to purchase a quick coffee. I have actually started purchasing my coffee from a different coffee shop as a result.If the restaurant is concerned about fradulent transactions, banking institutions can limit the amount of the transaction on a tap feature without a signature or pin...
Read moreTheir baking is typically delicious, except the breakfast muffins which are incredibly bland and sometimes their scones. The muffins and donuts are wonderful and cake when they have it (haven't seen it sold in years but used to be my favourite). The rest of the food is hit and miss. I've had a burger here that was my favourite in the city. But I've also had a boring hummus wrap and a stale ciabatta beef sandwich - the bread was clearly old. Sometimes they get too obsessed with grainy mustards or trying weird things to be hip but it ends up just ruining the dish. They have ready to go salads - get the large! The small is tiny and for a side only. I can see why people like it. In theory it's an adorable cafe but in practice it can really miss the mark. I also find their coffee is bitter.
I still visit semi- frequently and was sad that they started closing so early in the day and over the weekend, but there are some other options in the city that will never fail you, and are open more than Tangie: Stone's Throw, French Press and Abstractions,...
Read moreBeen here twice. I am allergic to wheat and I found many options for different types of dishes. Warm, entree, snacks, appys salads even astounding looking deserts. Even when I came later in the day.
Both times I've eaten here I've had entree style warm dishes.
First time I had the enchilada they warmed it up for me and served it on a plate with sour cream and etc for no extra charge.
Since this is not a Mexican restaurant I wasn't expecting anything special. IT WAS SOOO YUMMY. And it was a huge serving 2 enchiladas and it cost 7$.
Next time I had their curry daily feature. Again an ethnic dish I wasn't expecting to be special at all. Again. It is was some of the tastiest curry I've ever eaten at a restaurant. The very affordable price made it taste even better!!!
The girls who work here are so friendly and helpful going above and beyond to help you enjoy...
