“Biked to St Jacob’s and found this small coffee shop and ice cream place. Had a cappuccino and a slice of the lemon cake, both delicious. The young woman serving was excellent, very friendly and helpful, checked which milk for the cappuccino and gave me a China cup when I told her that I’d stay in. There was a water station too where I could refill my water bottle. I will be back to try some of the breakfast sandwiches .“

“Spacious, good food (limited selection of food, good for a big snack), and it wasn't too loud. Good selection of games for our group of 9. For "Telestrations" I went up to ask for working dry erase markers and the server was able to help. Telestrations is always good for a laugh. All in all a good experience.

I had the tortillas with (temperature) hot nacho dip and jalepeños on the side. The dip was also spicy and good. My total spend was just over $20 with 15% tip and tax (Nov 16, 2024). We also played "Hues and Cues" and "Taboo".“

“Wonderful little cafe specializing in German/Austrian treats. I had a slice of black forest cake, a cherry danish and a nougat ring. The cake had real kirsch flavour and delicious cream and made me very happy. The nougat ring was something i had never seen before and it was delightful. Dark chocolate covered a crunchy base of fresh short crust with a nougat and chopped nuts between. Really good. The cherry danish was better than the typical store bought but the pastry was a bit heavy.An elderly couple was running the store and were very sweet. The store is very small and is cash only so be prepared.“

Interesting sandwich cut.It was around $6 after the 25% student discount, and they take Laurier OneCard convenience dollars but not flex dollars, disappointingly.The interior is very nicely decorated and they have a good amount of seating.
