Was pretty expensive for mediocre food. Wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

We returned to this restaurant yesterday because our first visit in February 2023 was exceptional. Unfortunately, our experience this time was quite different. The pizza we ordered, which was the main reason we came back, looked and tasted completely different.
At first, I was too shy to ask, but before leaving, I gathered the courage to ask the lady at the counter if there was a new chef. She confirmed that there was, and then asked if the food was better. I explained that it wasn’t the same as our first visit. To my surprise, she told me that I should have mentioned that I liked the pizza with mozzarella balls, which was what I had enjoyed during our first visit.
I was quite disappointed by her response, as I wasn’t aware I needed to specify this detail. How could I have known it was important? I simply expected the same great experience we had before. Unfortunately, this pizza tasted more like fast food — a bit salty and nowhere near as enjoyable as our first visit. Needless to say, we won't be coming back.

Went for dinner before an ATP evening. Had the very best white wine sangria I’ve ever had! The prices and service were awesome! The food, minestrone soup & salad and panini with butternut squash soup were both top notch. Far beyond our expectations for a small open style bistro we’ve just walked by so many times. Will become a regular now!!
Dietary restrictions: Limited GF selection, good service but
poor standard. Convenience outweighs quality, salty soups, salads smothered in dressings and days old mix, much room for improvement.
I recently had the pleasure of being at this bistro, and I must say, the experience was delightful. The standout aspects were undoubtedly the excellent service provided by Bruna and the manager Fernanda. Their attentiveness and warmth made us feel truly welcomed.
The food was exceptional, with a diverse menu that showcased both creativity and quality. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.
I highly recommend this bistro to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. You won’t be disappointed!

I recently had the pleasure of trying the croissant from Craving cafe, and it was an absolute delight! The moment I took my first bite, I was greeted with a perfectly flaky exterior that crumbled beautifully, releasing a buttery aroma that made my mouth water.

Poor quality food prepared without care. Dubious food saftey standards as evidenced by the dirty prep station and lack of observed hand washing when switching between duties.
Chicken panini featured one small slice of something that was once chicken.

Terrible operation.stopped making their own delicious Caesar salad dressing. Lettuce was three days kid all brown and Kraft dressing shoved in the saladContainer. You should not call yourselves Craving’

Saw the hot chocolate fest sign. Went in and had a delicious treat. But the highlight was the person serving me at the counter. Fernanda....has the hospitality star badge for sure... extremely professional and friendly and very helpful and gracious smile. She offered me water and a to go cup as the hot chocolate was very rich for me... definitely revisit.

Convenient location ? Small Cafe.Prices are a bit high; however, we have to consider this cafe is in Downtown. There are many options on the menu. Food is great.

Great service and atmosphere plus handy location. It's a great place to meet people. However...Most food options are expensive and not sustainable for a M-F office worker.The drinks and pastries are fine, but I ordered a hot line item once that left me with digestive distress :S I haven't tried a hot line item since.Most recently I bought a grilled cheese sandwich and it was $11 and change for just cheese and white bread which seems pretty shocking.
