BOTTOM LINE: One of my go-to lunch spots when I want something light, refreshing and fast.
(3.5 STARS)
I frequent Cafe Bernate regularly and it never disappoints. In the summer, their back patio provides a quiet space away from the traffic of Queen West.
I usually get their combo which rotates a random sandwich with their soup of the day or a salad. Their sandwich offerings are so extensive that I don't think I've ever had the same thing twice! Most recently, I had their curried chicken in a mayo base with apples and pears and wrapped in a whole wheat pita. This has become my favourite sandwich they have now!
The soups are good but they ain't Ravi soups that's for sure! I know, unfair comparison, but when Ravi's is just down the street, it's hard not to. Once they got really creative with a yogurt-based blueberry soup, but it ended up being more like a porridge.
And finally, their freshly baked chocolate chip cookies are a perfect dessert or snack to go with lunch or coffee. Always a good pick-me-upper for a dollar.
