Recently visited with kids. Place is under new management. Very poor choices of baked goods. Offered pop and chips to young kids instead. Washroom dirty and smelly with garbage bucket overflowing... Windows, floors dirty ants crawling and eating crumbs under the tables. We had fun playing games with kids. But atmosphere is not the same anymore. It's April 10th. New owner keeps Christmas decorations on the counter... New barista girl didn't smile, looks overwhelmed. So sad that place lost it's vibe... Please improve

Its not hard to give this business 5 ⭐️’s acoss the board. Just after covid shut downs I was a student and really needed a place where I could discuss subjects with my classmates and this is the only place that welcomed us with open arms and I will never forget it! Plus the coffee and desserts are to die for!

Was super!! My boyfriend and I have had quite a few dates here (before and after ownership change) and we always have fun! Great way to pass the time, and an affordable outing! Food, especially the sweet treats, are always good, and my personal favourite, an iced chai, never disappoints. I’m glad it’s here in town?

So much fun! There were some games my kids had tried to school that they wanted us to buy so we went here to play them and we ended up having so much fun. We were there for 2 and 1/2 hours playing different games and we didn't even notice the time go by cookies and tea and coffee soda. And you can buy some of the games there. It's a $6 per person to play whatever games you want but it is so worth it. We spent less than $40 and had two and a half hours of absolute joy and now brand new game to take home

I love this little place! Great for a quick stop for lunch with the kiddos, or even by yourself or with friends. They have a menu that covers something everyone could want, and even made my picky eaters happy! (They had a sausage roll and a grilled cheese) I personally recommend the PaniniThey have a huge selection of games to choose from, you can stay and play- they even offer popcorn, chips, or a candy bowl for a small price.The food is yummy and made with care, the coffee is great, and the overall feel and atmosphere is wonderful.What started as a quick stop, is turning into a weekly outing with the fam. ❤️

This is a really good cafe in town, we came here for an evening snack and loved it here. There are a lot of board games that you can play when you come here with friends. Their chocolate and orange cake is a must try here. Enjoy reading a book or sit calmly for a coffee, you have everything you need for a peace mind.

A little sad about the ownership change, but nonetheless a nice little place. I’m bummed that they don’t have their hot apple cider anymore. I tried the pumpkin chai and it was ok. New owner or employee was not the friendliest. All around it’s an ok place, just won’t be the same.
