Simple sandwiches, which are fine, but nothing particularly impressive. And for the price, possibly overvalued. There are not a lot of choices for vegetarians. The side salads are fine, but, again, nothing much to write home about.

I’ve had a lot of almond croissants in my life and so has my mum, this was by far THE WORST one I’ve ever had.

I went there on Saturday around 2 p.m. The counters were almost empty and I waited in line for at least 10-15 minutes before I could order. My small cappuccino cost $4.90. It's expensive for what it was, and the atmosphere doesn't add value.

Paninis to avoid. Salad for several days, almost nothing in it and very expensive.Paninis are really expensive for what you get. The salad was clearly not fresh anymore.

Unfortunately pretty bad food. The staff is friendly, but tables were dirty. The worst scone I’ve ever try. Hard as a rock. The sandwich had soggy lettuce. I wouldn’t recommend.

The pastries look good and are probably more worth it. The coffee is decent too. But the food (sandwich and pea soup in my case) was very mediocre and overpriced. Would not recommend.

Nice service. The drinks are pretty good but on the pricier side. The one downside is the atmosphere (Saturday afternoon). The music playing wasn’t ideal (ex: ghostbusters theme etc) and there were lots of screaming children running around. If you’re looking for a calm place to catch up, study, or get work done definitely avoid weekends and opt for when kids are in school.

Great pastry shop in downtown Ottawa. Most pastries are around $6, and they are simply delicious! Must try.
My favorite downtown coffee shop. Large and bright. Great place for quiet private conversation.

The staff were pleasant and welcoming and were happy to explain any desserts. I've gone in the morning and the afternoon and disappointed with the pastries. I got the Jesuite once and the Apple danish the other time I visited. The pastries weren't flaky at all, were very bready, and didn't taste as fresh as I would like for the price. The shelves were mostly empty of pastries as well.There's lots of seating and the layout is very appealing however they do play club music quite loudly sometimes. I cannot speak on their coffee or sandwiches, but I don't think I would come again.

Great service first and foremost. The coffee was amazing, the pastries even better. Wonderful spot close to Parliament Hill.
The affogato was good.
