I ate here. & didn't have dessert. Is that a shocker? Believe me, I'll be back for some of the decadent treats on display when you first walk in.
I was here for a birthday luncheon. We didn't intend for this to be our final resting spot but after discovering Harbord House was closed for the day to redo their flooring, we continued in a hungry stupor down the street.
& let me tell you: it was pretty delicious. I was in a brunch-y place, even though it was close to 3pm. I originally ordered ricotta pancakes but was told after a few minutes that they had just run out of ricotta. Instead of 'regular' pancakes (no way, suckers!) I ordered this coconut waffle dish instead. Oh my. Oh yum. HANDS OFF.
Service was a little on the slow side, but I think the server was covering the whole place & if that was the case - she was doing the best she could since it was rather hopping - even for Valentine's Day. It was also a little pricier than I would have preferred - they didn't have a spanning range of $$ choice.
A nice gesture: Given an order of pancakes with extra berry compote to 'make up' for the no ricotta. Very maple-soaked & delicious.
I'm saving future stars for trying out the desserts + coffees. You might think that makes me stingy but I have to make every star count.
