Deservedly popular place with very friendly but efficient service and good food and coffee. Scones and brownies were especially tasty. Parking during peak times is limited partly because lots of people come here and because the space is shared with other businesses and an opp station. Good place to stop if you're driving through on the 15 as well not too many places like this between smiths falls and the border. Good sized accessible restoom also.

Our server (should have gotten her name) with dark hair and bangs was absolutely delightful. She was personable and knew exactly what we needed before we even asked. We have cycled there and she gave us water immediately and our baked goods before the meal since it was going to take a couple mins to prep. Overall fantastic experience.

Decided to try this local eatery. Was initially skeptical of the menu choices. Ordered coffee, multigrain toast and scrambled eggs. The food and coffee were incredibly good.

The staff were very friendly and attentive without being invasive.

I will definitely be going back to try out other menu options.

We had a late lunch here on a Friday afternoon... not your average Cafe. Bright, cheery, modern, great music and ambiance, fun decor. We had chicken salad sandwiches with orange mayo, both with and without bacon, were yummy. Hubby enjoyed the pulled pork grilled cheese, although a bit spicier than he would have liked. The Grain salad had lots of delicious veggies and very tasty dressing, tofu was amazing! Their coffee is the best! The staff was excellent, accommodating allergies and preferences, and attentive.

Stop here for great espresso, cortado & cinnamon rolls + genuinely friendly service. If I had known about this location earlier I would have stopped drinking crappy coffee everywhere else and driven here every day.

Stopped while on our way to the cottage and were pleasantly surprised by the vegan options. We had choice and it was really good. Also the staff was really nice.
