Overall score: 2/5

My time here was nice initially, as the aesthetic itself is very beautiful. Whoever was in charge of the interior design should truly be credited in their work, however, everything else was very … subpar? It’s not very special nor was it an experience I’d want to have again as the staff not only were rude in their service but the food itself was not up to par with how much my group had to pay. I would understand justifying paying the price for decent quality, but I should’ve known I wouldn’t have a good experience the minute I saw a nearly 6 dollar London fog with a cheap brand of tea instead of even investing just a little bit more, leading to my drink not only being very bitter, but also lacking any sort of selection of sweetener (as none had been offered to my table). The meal I had ordered was 14.95… for two crepes and a minor amount of Brie and an overly excessive amount of raspberry jam I almost felt as I had been cheated in what I ordered, of course I was would understand if this was just a personal preference, but my guests had also agreed that the amount of food for the price had been extremely unreasonable. At the end of the meal, as I had paid nearly 21 dollars for one meal and a half way decent drink, the waitress had told us that we had to pay an 18% gratuity. The establishment is TINY, hardly enough to fit more than 15 people and I would completely understand if they had disclosed the fact that we had to pay gratuity before we had started our meal, but when we asked where it was stated on the menu, the waitress almost acted offended that aside from us PUTTING MONEY IN HER POCKET that we had the nerve to ask her to DO HER JOB. Truly either hire staff that don’t shame customers for asking about store policies or make it more explicit that certain seating arrangements would cost more, as for a group of 4, we never had been informed we would have to tip the waitress who had scoffed at the idea of communicating with her tables.

Again if you’re going for the sole reason of going alone and burning money, sure this is a decent place to do so, but if you want an experience that’s worth your time don’t come to this establishment when Tim Hortons is right next to it with an arguably...

My friend and I were really looking forward to trying this place out after seeing the good reviews and cute interior. The food was decent, but what really set this place apart was the awful service. I'd give it 0 stars if I could.

After the server seated us, he just left us be and we had to ask him for water and for menus about 10 minutes in. While we got the water, he never ended up giving us any menus and we had to pull it up on our phones to order. This would've been fine if it was contactless menus but they were given to other tables without them having to ask for them.

After taking the time to think about what to order, we waited for the server to come by, except he never did. We then had to ask if we could order while he was behind the counter and it took at least another 5 minutes before he slowly made his way over to our table, which was situated just in front of the counter where he was. I would've even been fine if he took our orders with the counter between us, rather than just nodding and then not coming over. When he did, he just stood there waiting for us to let him know what we wanted. I ordered the tuna melt while my friend ordered the Caroline crepe.

Right off the bat I was told that there wasn't any sesame seed bagels and they only had poppy seed. No big deal, not my preference but it wasn't a make or break kind of deal so I switched it on over. A few minutes later I heard another employee mention they were out of ice cream. Our server then came back and flatly relayed that verbatim before asking if my friend would like whipped cream instead. Not even a simple, "sorry we ran out of ice cream", he simply just said "we don't have any ice cream. Does whipped cream work" with the flattest tone I've ever heard.

When the food was ready, the server just plopped it down onto the table and walked away. I was absolutely astounded by the complete lack of care given. Even a simple, "enjoy" would've sufficed. Not...
