I’ve been to Thunder Bay four times now. Ate at Niva’s the first time and really enjoyed it. The food was great and the place had this cozy, charming vibe. But ever since then? No luck. Every other time we’ve tried to go back, they’ve been closed. That’s three trips in a row now.
What’s extra frustrating is that Google will say they’re open, so we get our hopes up, make the drive, and then show up to an empty parking lot and a “sorry, we’re closed” sign. They’re also almost always closed on long weekends, which just makes it harder for people visiting from out of town.
I get that things happen and sometimes you need to close up, but it takes two seconds to update your hours online. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference... especially for people who aren’t local. As much as I liked the food the first time, the inconsistency just makes it not worth the effort anymore.

Love Niva’s. Always feel like family when I eat there! Food is delicious, especially when they have raspberries. 😎 Friendly servers who make the wait seem short if you get there and it’s busy. 👏

This place was awesome. Had just flown in and went here for breakfast. Waiting was non existent. Seated immediately, service was so fast, so many coffee top ups, and as soon as we finished eating somebody cleared our plates within seconds. We were in and out in under 30 min. Clean location and friendly staff.

Very first time going for breakfast in Thunderbay, and it couldn't be better, service, quality of food and atmosphere was amazing.
I'm really glad to back 100%
Awesome breakfast homemade
Really nice.
Everything was excellent except it is quite noisy. Difficult to have a conversation with anyone.
Never a bad experience at Niva's. Great food and great service but the coffee is awful. Is it the old machines or the coffee I can't say.
