very cute cafe with some good food. Berry bar is a fun addition. I thought i could have used less portion size for a smaller price. Coffee was eh. French toast was good with syrup my brothers burrito with mojo verde was better.

Brunch at Portage Bay is amazing. You have to wait, even with a reservation, which will put some folks off. However, their food is fantastic and often sourced locally and organically, which is why there is a wait. When you go, bring your appetite and patience.

I had the special black garlic Caesar salad. I am very picky about salads and it was delicious! The team was wonderful: manager Jocelyn, servers Diana and Harlyn were 5star. On a sunny day the setting was flawless.
