Definitely my go to place for the morning Brew!The new owners are amazing!The overall atmosphere is refreshing and relaxingParking: Parking lot is rather small.. fits 5-6 cars/trucks.The parking spots are also jagged sideways instead of straight forward parking… more occasions than I’d like to admit… sometimes it’s difficult to pull in or proceed out of the lot due to people either “trying to “squeeze “ themselves in.. that being said.. ALWAYS be more cautious then you naturally are while manoeuvring your vehicle
I go here with my partner at least once a month. The food us good but undersized and overpriced. The service is always great, and the wait isn't too long. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but I understand the struggle with inflation.

First time stopping in. Nice selection of menu items but their donuts are fresh and delicious. Coffee is great but I really enjoyed their Americano. Weather cooperated so we we were able to sit out on the patio.
I'm actually shocked. This place is amazing. I have a cottage close by and somehow just discovered this place. They have sandwiches , coffee and all kinds of nice things. My chicken wrap was amazing. Definitely coming back!

Amazing and adorable little café! Espresso based beverages, iced coffee, grilled cheese triple Decker club, and the baked goods were all delicious! Raspberry flakey pastry is a must have!

I met chef Greg at a wedding I photographed, and he prepared the most amazing vegan meal for me and other vegan guests.I honestly was so impressed. The main course was a BBQ oyster mushroom with potatoes and brussels sprouts.The flavours were so fantastic, beautifully flavourful but not overpowering.Everything was cooked to perfection.Even the salad - arugula with strawberries, hemp, and balsamic vinaigrette - was to die for. I tried hard to recreate it at home, marvelling at how well balanced the flavours had been, and how difficult it was for me to strike the same perfect balance.I don't know how you made such 'simple' things taste so elevated and out of this world, Greg, but I would trust your amazing culinary skills any time!Thank you!!
Cute coffee shop to have drinks at! We stopped by during a stay at Sharbot Lake. Would absolutely come back again. We grabbed a coffee and hibiscus iced tea and I’m still dreaming about it to this day. So sad Sharbot Lake is 3 1/3 hours away from us or I’d be here everyday. ☕️

Had the Cardinal Egg sandwich and an iced Americano, hit the spot. Greg, Christine, and their staff are upgrading the Sharbot Lake experience to the next level with their Toronto cafe culture of excellence for sure!

Fantastic little cafe in an old church. Such charm and history, mixed with great coffee and service with a smile !

Under new management for a few years now. The new Cardinal Café does not disappoint. Still the similar atmosphere food and service. Be sure to get there in the morning for their delicious donuts and pastries.This is a must visit place in Sharbot Lake. Not just coffee or ice cream. The converted church has real ambiance. Rob the proprietor is always striving for customer satisfaction.
