| - I've been wanting to try out this place for quite some time, and this past Sunday, I finally did!
We got in around 12:30pm and were expecting a wait (which ended up being about 30 mins long) but we got some coffees to tide us over while we waiting. My almond milk latte was perfectly made and served in a stemless cup, complete with saucer!
While waiting, I took in the décor - it's both functional and homey. I love that they serve tea in ceramic teapots and can brew a pot for 2 to share. They have some baked goods on display - the apple ring looked really inviting and I had planned to have some as dessert (but ended up being too full to indulge).
We were seated by the window, basking in the sun, which I enjoyed thoroughly. There are no menus at the table - you look at the large chalkboard to see the menu of the day. My buddy and I decided to order the breakfast poutine and sweet potato and black bean quesadilla.
It was a sunny Sunday, so we sat there in the sun, waiting for our meals but sadly, the wait turned too long - it was almost 50 minutes before our food arrived (hence the 4 star rating) but we weren't disappointed when it did.
My quesadilla was perfect sized - not so big that I couldn't finish it but not too small to have me wanting for more. It had two sunny side up eggs atop it, which made for a lovely mix of textures and flavours. I think I had devoured more than half of my plate within minutes! The house slaw, fresh avocado and the homemade ketchup and hot sauce added lovely depth to the home fries that accompanied the quesadilla. All in all, lovely meal!
My buddy's breakfast poutine came with bits of chopped up sausage. The poutine is made of home fries rather than French fries, and tasted pretty good, although I am partial to the texture and length of French fries for my poutine. His dish came with corn bread (with real corn kernels) - it was perfect! The right balance of texture and sweetness...I think I could have eaten an entire loaf of the stuff!
Service (other than the slow arrival of our meal) is great - I really enjoyed interacting with their attentive staff. I'm definitely going back, particularly since I've heard that they tend to switch up their menu quite often.
