Small cafe located right across from playground. Has different options including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free products. I went on Friday at 11:30am and Saturday at 9:50am but nearly all of the vegan and gluten free products were sold out (and they don't carry full menu possibly due to COVID). They also have many drinks to choose from with some dairy alternatives for vegans. I got a small hot chocolate + very last vegetarian roll on Friday, Medium Mocha + sausage roll (+ 2x egg/cheese breakfast sandwiches which were made from scratch with Medium Cappuccino with almond milk for the family) on Saturday.

If you have dietary restrictions I'd recommend calling them first or arriving much earlier in the day to get their vegan/gluten free food.

But if I wanted to I would feel very comfortable and welcome while doing it. The owners are often working there and are two of the kindest people I have met. They give off a welcoming vibe akin to visiting a life long best friend's parents house. They also have live music from time to time that's definitely worth checking out. If you find yourself looking for a place to recharge during the day or to meet up with people this is...
Read moreThey feature an award for overall exceptional customer service on their front desk yet they managed to make a half a dozen mistakes on an order for 3 snacks and 2 drinks. We actually dumped out our coffee and Americano after because they were so bad (watery and really unappealing flavour). I asked them to break a ten dollar bill for tipping and they gave me $5 in change and mistakenly tried to keep $5 (not intentionally but I had to explain a couple times that I needed my other $5 back as well). They forgot my coffee until I asked for it. They forgot my breakfast. The food that they resell that they don't make in house was fine. Would not recommend or return. The spot itself is...
