Cafe in a BookstoreStumbled upon this place when looking for a lunch spot while visiting Winnipeg. Nice to see a bookstore that hasn't become the victim of big corporation cannibalization.FoodOrder the brie and date grilled cheese with a side of fries. Sandwich was buttered on the outside to my liking. Cheese was gooey which I enjoyed. The addition of the dates was good but nothing exceptional. The fries were truly unremarkable. They need something to make them stand out. An interesting seasoning, perhaps or served with some sort of dip like a chipotle mayo, for example. The fries were on the softer size rather than crispy how I like them. I get that this is all personal preference. In general, the meal was fine.ServiceServer was polite, attentive. Food was served within minutes of ordering.AtmosphereAs someone who loves bookstores, the cafe was the perfect complement. The crowd appeared to lean to the older size - 60 plus - but that's no criticism. It made for a civil atmosphere making the place feel like it's loved and embraced by the locals.ConclusionIf I'm ever back in town, I'd give this place a second chance but would probably try something else on the menu. Food aside, I'd support this place if only because it's a local bookstore and bookstores have been disappearing from our neighborhoods. Hope this one sticks around for many years for those to enjoy who live in the neighbourhood. Give this place your support if you're able.

A hidden gem in a bookstore. I highly recommend it next time you are in the area.
Great lunch. Even better that they served breakfast for lunch. The omelette was delicious. The restaurant was busy, but we were seated quickly. Service was great!We have stopped in before for baked goods (absolutely fantastic).Good portions. Tons of parking.

Restaurant is in McNally Robinson so parking was a breeze. Arrived and the hostess quickly seated us. The ambiance was really nice and a lot of natural sunlight coming through and plenty of seating.Overall good experience. Food was good. Nothing crazy but still good! My only quip would be the prices for the cafe drinks. A little bit on the pricey side but that’s about it. Would still recommend to check this place out.
