Penelope's is the perfect meeting place. A cross between a cozy nic nac shop and a tea room.

I have been coming here for years. A great atmosphere and very peaceful with a big tree shading the outdoor patio. The food is excellent - my favorite is the chicken curry salad!
Parking: Directly across the back alley and usually enough spots for everyone.
Wheelchair accessibility: There's a long ramp from the parking level to the restaurant.

We tried to stop in to grab a coffee with our dog, the owner was really rude and before greeting us or saying anything just said “I don’t allow dogs” and kicked us out. We asked if we could sit on the patio (outdoors) and she said no because it’s “considered indoors” even though it was clearly an outdoor space? We also would’ve been happy to order something to go but we didn’t have a chance to say that before we were kicked out. It was just surprising because there were no signs that said no dogs, and she just in general was really unfriendly. This is my first negative review I’ve ever written, but the experience just left a bad taste and some proper costumer service etiquette would have been appreciated.

Have been bringing our grandkids here for about 2.5 years. They are now 3.5 and 1.25 years old: Happy grandkids=>happy grandparents!! They each LOVE the Quiche Lorraine (with fruit salad). I often get the tuna sandwich, but today got the chipotle chicken which was very tasty...with a mighty kick! My wife has been getting a bagel.....and hot chocolate, which she just adores! Very cozy, neighborhood cafe, with a nice touch of a children's bookstore incorporated inside (although we almost always eat in the patio; the kids love to watch the koi fish while waiting for our order).

nice and cozy atmosphere
fresh ingredients
Always the perfect place for outdoor dining + great food!
This is a hidden gem! My friends and I have been coming here, once a week for years for breakfast and often for lunch. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. Great food, wonderful staff and Penelope, the owner, is always there for lunch. Make a reservation for lunch and sit outside under a beautiful tree and enjoy the ambiance and great food!
Great food, great staff, and the best place to meet with girl friends and colleagues.The owner is awesome and a pleasure to visit her restaurant.
