Finally, something different! (and good)
AMBIANCE
Very different look than the average GTA restaurant. White and blue mosaic tiles and the flatbreads come out of a hearth from the kitchen. Lots of windows, so nice and bright at lunch.
I wouldn't really recommend it for very young children because flavours are too sophisticated, but there are enough options for a wide range of tastes. It's not a Happy Meal, colouring book sort of place, but well behaved kids would do fine there.
SEATING/GROUPS
Big enough dining room with 3 distinct seating areas if more private or quiet dining desired.
Thankfully not as crammed like Starbucks across the street.
Could probably push individual tables together to seat 2 tables of 8 if necessary. Maybe 25 seats there total.
FOOD
Feels like a fresh, modern cafe with pretty chocolate-dipped baklava, French desserts, fancy bottled beverages, to-go salads, coffee, espresso, and tea. Does not seem to serve alcohol.
Main attraction seems to be Mana'ish flatbreads, which are like baked-to-order, delicate, rolled up, small pizzas. They top it with fresh veggies, herbs, olives, and sauces depending on the selection --- so there can be hot and cold fillings, which is probably a good thing for cucumber and smoked salmon. There were tons of flatbread topping options: some middle-eastern like Zaatar (thyme/sesame) and lamb, but many with flavour themes from almost every continent (obvi not Antarctica).
REALLY enjoyed the Jerk Chicken and Chimichurri Beef followed by the cinnamon caramel flatbread. I've always been disappointed by pizzeria desserts, so that was a pleasant surprise that makes me want to try their other dessert flatbreads.
PRICES
About $4-5 per flatbread (a few cost less). Probably need to eat 2 for a meal. Pretty decent prices for downtown and not being a burger. Mostly I like that I can grab a more healthy, affordable snack right after working out.
SERVICE
Staff are nice, but allow 10-15 min for your flatbread to bake (worth the wait for something fresh I'd say).
LOCATION, PARKING, DRIVING
Despite the Spadina Ave address, the entrance is actually 3 doors west on south side of Richmond St W. One-way, west-bound traffic on Richmond only. It's below Yoga Tree.
Paid parking lot couple doors west, across the street.
Street parking is a bit challenging that block, but nice that there's almost always curb space to drop off passengers right at the door from the driver's side (one-way street).
Spadina or Queen St street cars are likely most convenient options.
ACCESSIBILITY
2 unisex washrooms are on ground level; the fully wheel chair accessible washroom is nice and large for the disabled or parents trying to corral kids/strollers.
Mixed seating: window-side bar stools, few tables with a combination bench/pull out chairs with backs, but mostly tables for parties of 2 with pull out chairs. No arms on chairs/stools.
Double-door entrance is large enough for a wheel chair plus has handicap door buttons.
