Wise Town Cafe

I would not go there if I were you. Although the people who work there are nice and friendly, the desserts, bread, avocados, bacon, chicken, and literally everything is frozen, and nothing is fresh. I don’t know what the owner is thinking, it’s all fake. False advertising. His customer service is fake. You’ll be paying for garbage. Honestly, you can make your own food with better quality and at a better price. There are plenty of coffee shops in Ottawa with better quality and better business practices.
Another thing is that I noticed when the owner is not present, the staff seem happy, which makes us feel welcome and comfortable, but the second the owner shows up, they seem very stressed. He often brings his staff to the back and they come back unhappy. It’s very obvious if you look at them. A coffee shop is supposed to be somewhere you can relax. I really don’t appreciate his presence.
Anyway, I won’t be coming back for sure and for your own sake, DO NOT GO THERE

It was our 1st time there and overall the ambiance was top notch! It was really busy with good background music, not too loud. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We’ve spent an hour there, and noticed that ppl were really enjoying spending at least 1h there too 🙂
Would recommend for coffee chat but not to work if you need to focus.

I ordered an iced strawberry matcha, but the barista accidentally made me a hot matcha instead. When I mentioned it, she fixed it right away. I found the cost of matcha here to be more expensive compared to other cafes and in my opinion, and it tasted more like a strawberry milkshake with a hint of matcha. I would’ve liked a stronger taste of strawberry tbh. The crème brûlée cheesecake tasted good, though. The inside of the café is very nice, with plenty of seating available. Lastly, whilst the hot matcha looked very nice aesthetically, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the smell and the taste. I would still prefer the cold version over the hot. The hot version did have a stronger taste of matcha.

I don’t want to write the review in a bad way. I have visited this place quite a few times. But this time after visiting I kinda noticed that the food quality degraded gradually. I ordered the Cobb sàlad which I order usually. This time I was served on a broken plate and the chicken was burnt. I asked for a replacement then I found hair inside it. Staffs are really good and understanding. Whoever the owner is please put your attention in the food quality . Because the prices are a bit higher compared to other places for the same portion and quality.

Wize Town Café is a really nice and comfortable place! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and they have a great variety of sweets and drinks — everything looks and tastes amazing. A perfect spot to relax, chat with friends, or enjoy a treat. Definitely recommend!

I’ve been back to this cafe a few times, it really has my heart. The cafe is really gorgeously decorated and the staffs were super nice. I recommend trying out the avocado toast if you’re here for brunch, because even though it did not look the best at first glance, it tasted amazing and really fresh. Fruit beverages were definitely a better choice than coffee or tea here, we got Hibiscus Peach Lemonade and it was delicious. It was just a bit hard to find the parking in the area because it’s a very busy street, but overall, love the experience!
