| - Came here on a sunny Saturday morning and expected to wait a bit to be seated. The wait wasn't as bad as expected, 10 minutes, but we were a group of 3 and were seated at a snug table for 2. Not so much of an issue for us girls but I would imagine that this wouldn't sit comfortably with some others.
Looking around the shop/bakery/restaurant, there were a lot of freshly baked breads and treats. There were a few tables that ordered a hot coffee beverage and croissants/bread/treats and enjoyed the warm weather and good company. But it was about 1030 am and we had not eaten yet, plus the food menu items seemed way too delicious to pass up. We ended up ordering the Baked French Toast , Spicy Bacon Sandwich and Grilled Cheese with Fried Eggs Sandwich, with a side of baguette and apricaot jam.
The food took a while to come, but it didn't bother us too much as we were enjoying the nice weather and a nice relaxing morning. When the food did come, it was hard to fit it all on the table as it was clearly too small to comfortably fit 3. Now onto the food...
-Baguette: It was alright, nicely toasted on the outside, but nothing too special as some of the other reviews claimed to be the "best" baguette. The apricot jam was a really nice touch. But all in all, I'm not sure it was worth the $5+ price tag.
-Baked French Toast: This is unlike your ordinary french toast. It tastes more like a bread pudding, which is my favourite dessert, so I loved this, but I did find it on the sweet side. It would be hard to finish the entire dish by yourself.
-Spicy (Canadian) Bacon Sandwich: There was definitely a nice spicy touch to this sandwich but nothing overpowering. It was a really tasty sandwich, but personally I'm not a huge fan of bacon or meat, so it didn't hit the spot for me. I could imagine a lot of people enjoying this however.
-Grilled Cheese with Fried Eggs Sandwich: Not sure whether we got the Grilled Cheese part of this sandwich, I couldn't taste any hint of a cheese presence, but the fried eggs were done just right, with the perfect amount of runniness without being too messy. Also you could taste the freshness from the arugula in the sandwich. I prefered this sandwich over the Spicy Bacon because the flavours were so fresh and clean.
Having a huge weakness for sweets and well, anything baked (!) I will definitely be back.
