Snakes & Lattes Annex

My sister and I have been looking forward to visiting Snakes and Lattes for a long time. We’re from the States and had watched their YouTube channel about board game cafes. We made a trip to Toronto with friends and we’re excited to finally visit. The College location was closed so we went to the Annex location.

I was underwhelmed, unfortunately. The game selection was good, and we enjoyed playing. But we expected better food for the prices we were paying. We felt that the menu should have more of a variety (specifically healthy foods that are not vegan). For example, they offer a non-chicken, non-cheddar buffalo wrap. Why not offer the non-vegan equivalent as well?

I ordered the jalopeño grilled cheese and it was good, but the soup (vegan vegetable chowder) was underwhelming. My friend ordered a bowl of chili, which also tasted quite bland, and my sister ordered the street tacos, which came out small and also bland. She ended up getting the Mac and cheese because she wasn’t satisfied - the Mac and cheese was very good.

All in all the food seemed overpriced for the quality. The coffee was very reasonable. Service was also slow that day, since the other campus was closed and the whole place was packed.

I would visit again, but not after visiting many other BG cafes in the city to try to find a better one.
