Arlington Five is a cozy and socially engaged cafe, known for its safe and enjoyable atmosphere. The owner and employees are passionate about coffee, art, and the community. They regularly host pop-ups, showcase new art, and hold community gatherings. The coffee, sourced from a unique top-quality micro-roaster, is widely praised for its exceptional freshness and quality. Customers often enjoy the best matcha in Ottawa and delicious desserts like almond croissants, which are highly recommended. The cafe also offers astonishing pastries and crafted sandwiches at a good price, with a veggie sandwich that is especially delicious. The staff is kind, and the place is clean, although it can get quite crowded and a bit pricey. A cute, sunny patio in the backyard provides a nice outdoor space, and street parking is available nearby. Many visitors appreciate the lively atmosphere and the opportunity for meaningful conversations, making Arlington Five a popular community hub that supports those facing difficult circumstances and makes everyone feel valued and safe. However, some wish the cafe stayed open later, as closing at 4 makes it difficult for many to enjoy it after work.
