★★★★☆

Nice enough cafe. The food was best part of experience. Ordered the avocado toast and croque madame dishes and iced raspberry matcha and the dirty chai latte for drinks. All very good. The table setup was a bit to be desired tablles are way too close, especially when you sit beside loud patrons and can’t hear yourself talk and learn all about their life in the process. It makes for a very unenjoyable experience even if the food is good. Will
not go back because of that. The server was ok. Not very attentive. It’s more a 3.5 rating but only able to give 4 stars. As a visitor to Ottawa I have experienced better brunch establishments further down Bank.

Really lovely little spot for brunch. Breakfast bowl was amazing! Home fries were some of the best I’ve ever had. Pancakes were great too! I missed that there are some parking spots reserved in the lot on the corner, which is handy in this area!

I went there for Saturday brunch, got the blueberry matcha pancakes and my brother got the big breakfast. The portion sizes are amazing, and the place has a great ambience. Our server was very sweet and kind. I found the coffee to be a little bit overpriced but it was still very good, the espresso was a little sour. 10/10 recommend and i would go again for the cookies and baked goods!

Sarah ❤️ was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, her customer service was top-tier. She was friendly, super outgoing, and her personality made our whole brunch experience even better. She made sure our food came out on time, checked in to ensure everything tasted great, and truly went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. The food was on point, and her positive energy made the entire visit so enjoyable. If you’re lucky enough to have Sarah as your waitress, you’re guaranteed an awesome experience

Everything was fresh and tasted good!

The blueberry pancakes and classic breakfast were both great, and the potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Coffee was good, service was prompt, and the food came out quickly.

We found this spot after another brunch place nearby closed earlier, and we’re glad we did. Love that they’re open until 3 and really enjoyed the cozy, welcoming ambience. Seating is a little on the tighter side since one wall is all bench seating, but it still felt comfortable overall.
