I remember the Future Bakery from the days on Queen Street when it was actually a bakery where you went to get bread and rolls, and which then started serving things gradually. Perhaps this biases me because I want it to be more elemental than it has become.
The cheesecakes for which it has become famous as a late night chill out destination are really overly, cloyingly sweet. However, I don't know any better options around for the cakes and hot chocolate crowd. On the plus side, there are a ton of flavours to choose from and many people do like them!
They have a really nice patio. The hat-wearing waiter is terrific.
They serve beer on the patio, including a great lemon tea flavour.
For a patio snack I ordered the sweet potato fries which came with a tasty chipotle mayo. Personally I found them to be the greasiest fries ever, which is really saying a lot. I could not keep eating them, they were so oily. The reason I ordered them is because most of the menu does not look to be gluten free, and I wanted a snack. It's really too bad that the food is lacking in quality because this place has so much potential. I would never actually come for a meal here.
All that having been said, it is a great central location to meet friends for coffee or stop for a quick drink.
