Beautiful and clean cafe with an extensive selection of coffees, teas and delicious smoothies. I had a greek wrap, lavender latte and my child had a french toast and a smoothie, all equally delicious. Staff is very friendly as well.

I interviewed Cherlyn for a community research project about supportive housing, and she was incredibly kind. She advocated highly for helping the less fortunate and told me about a few of the cafe’s efforts to do so. She is a kind, sympathetic, authentic individual and it was lovely getting to speak with her.

The cafe had a lovely and lively atmosphere. It looked like an awesome place to get together with some friends and loved ones. I only wish I had the time to stay for a while and order a snack.

Thank you so much for your time and insight, Cherlyn. It was an absolute pleasure speaking with you.

Food was amazing but a bit pricey. Its a small café so very busy and challenging finding a table. However, the parking is atrocious, no spots in the café parking lot so parked in the plaza next door and got a $51 parking ticket so it was a rather expensive lunch date. Will not be returning until they figure out parking.

The food here is absolutely fantastic, especially for a coffee place, but the coffee. Oooh boy the coffee is terrible. It has an incredibly earthy flavour to the point of tasting mouldy. I went there twice 2 weeks apart to make sure it wasn't a one off thing but the coffee was terrible to the point I couldn't finish it. Tried it as both an americano and a cappuccino and both were undrinkable. Same for my wife, would really reccomend a flavoured latte to cover up the taste. Would rate at 2.5 if I could as I feel it would be the most fair, but went with 3 stars because the staff were very nice

An exceptional breakfast experience. The latte featured elegant, well-defined rosetta art with beautifully textured milk, and the omelette was light, fluffy, and prepared with clear professional care.

What truly sets this place apart is the warmth. The gentle fireplace, soft music, and the staff’s sincere, family-like smiles create a feeling of being welcomed into a home rather than a café.

A rare place where quality and genuine hospitality meet.

Nothing beats Mennonite cooking and baking. Real food made there and made well. The only thing I wish is that tables had a seating time limit as far too many patrons will take up space for hours after finishing their food or drink. I’m rarely able to find a seat and it is often very crowded and noisy. Otherwise the food quality is stellar and the staff are great, and the prices are absolutely fair for the quality and amount of food you get.

One of the most quaint and enjoyable cafes in the region! The treats and coffee are exquisite and they offer gluten free options. We love going there as a family and the staff are always so kind and welcoming.

Certain times of the day and week (Saturdays) are busy but people are polite and respectful to make room for each other. The breakfast bowl is a must-try ♥️

Absolutely loved the desserts at Covenant – fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Their coffee pairs perfectly with the sweets and makes it a must-visit café.

The food/service was fantabulous! My only issues (which is great for the business) are that there is very limited seating and parking is a nightmare!
