I'm surprised by the negative reviews for Lucky Penny because after my first visit, I was smitten. I think they must have made some improvements since they opened because I had a great time.
First off - their patio is amazing. Filled with deck chairs, side tables and huge umbrellas, it was only half-full on a Saturday in the summer so we had plenty of space. My boyfriend got the grilled cheese sandwich which he said was one of the best he'd ever had. (I tasted it and I think the secret ingredient might just be butter.) I got a donut and an iced coffee and both were great. I think it's become a neighbourhood staple as I saw a lot of families dropping by to get ice cream. It added to the charm of the place.
So overall, I really look forward to going back. The prices weren't cheap but pretty much on par with a similar place like that in the city (i.e. Mabels). I did notice that they sell Glory Hole Donuts for cheaper than at the actual location so their mark-up can't be too insane.
Stop by and decide for yourself.
