When they came to my table they didn’t even set up my utensils they just threw them on the table and second I asked for a chocolate milk and they said they didn’t have it after I asked them 3 times and on the menu it says they have it

11:45 this Sunday, I made a little discovery. I decide to take my daughters there. When entering no reception available. After 2 minutes of waiting, a waitress asked us to wait 5 minutes. At the same time I see the pastry chef (who is frying the pancakes) turn around and give us a nasty look and whisper to another waitress that my daughter took a chocolate from the box and who should go and check... The latter hurries and comes tell us: sorry but we have a waiting list. I told him the chocolate in question was given by the waitress who asked us to wait so no need to make any derogatory comments. She answers no no it wasn't us she was referring to. I turn around and tell him but we are the only customers at the entrance. She says no, there was someone just before. Well, I let it go and ask for a table for 3. The waitress tells me that there is a waiting list. I asked approximately how long, she said 30 minutes maximum. I asked if the restaurant doesn't make reservations in advance or can you call to put yourself on the waiting list automatically. She says no unfortunately it's a first come, first served basis. I say okay, she can take my information as soon as a table becomes available she can contact me. However, at the foot of the door, 2 other ladies enter and ask for a table. The same waitress responds: we have a small waiting list of 10 minutes. One of the ladies explains that they come from Massonangers, the waitress replies ohh you can call next time we already put you on the list. I turn around and ask 1 min rather we couldn't put on a waiting list or make a call but all of a sudden it's possible? She said she didn't quite understand my question. What service! I wonder how can a local restaurant treat people with such discourtesy or should I say favoritism(skin color)?? Unfortunately the place that seemed friendly for a family brunch will not be kept in my favorites after this experience, no thank you! Ps: I received a return call at 1:00 p.m. and I declined. The restaurant closes at 2 p.m. ??

It wasn't my choice to come here but I am glad I did. The food was much better than I expected. The atmosphere was combo of old home with cool decore and interesting art and craft products for sale. The restaurant is cyclists friendly as well. Would go again.

I visited this restaurant because several people recommended it to me. However, having celiac disease, the waitress told me that the two types of pancakes (buckwheat and with gluten) were cooked on the same plate and therefore the risk of cross contamination is enormous. This restaurant is therefore not recommended for people with celiac disease, contrary to what some comments might indicate.
On the other hand, the non-celiac people accompanying me loved their meal. So I highly recommend a visit!

This popular local restaurant is a great place to find unique products. I love their cute Aylmer postcards and the old town map. Their food is also killer. The Metcalfe brunch was perfect for two people and the lattes and mimosas were amazing. Great brunch spot!

We showed up with two for brunch and were told it would be a wait, which we were fine with. We were told “soon” and “just 20 minutes” — then, that the table was being prepared. All in we waited over an hour before giving up and leaving. We want to support local business but not one that lacks the decency to be straight up with patrons about wait times. We would have left much sooner had staff been transparent about the wait time — instead we left frustrated and hungry to find somewhere else.

My wife, son and I drove over last Saturday from Carleton Place to come here for breakfast. Found them on Google maps and wanted to check them out. The food was great, my wife was enchanted by the quaint atmosphere, and the staff was SO friendly and warm, they helped make our Saturday outing feel like a mini five hour vacation. I'd mention our waitress by name but we didn't get it, but then again, all the staff we encountered were super. We pretty much never go out for breakfast, but we were already planning a return trip before we finished eating! hahaha Definitely recommend!
Cute place. Amazing service! Hearty crepes and good coffee. Perfect place for a weekend breakfast ❤️

The Metcalfe breakfast (pictured) is our go-to every time we want to go out for breakfast. It's delicious, beautifully placed and the servers are always a gem.
Can't keep this place secret anymore.
They take no reservations so make sure to be there bright and early!

This is such a beautiful place ! Second time I’ve been there. I ordered the smoked salmon crepe and they were very generous with the salmon. I feel like I’m in France or Europe with this old beautiful vibe. ! The food is so fresh. It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth every penny! The cappuccino is to die for !! PS. Waffles are only on the weekends.
