| - I'm giving it a middle grade because there are a lot of pros and also quite a few cons. If Yelp gave me that option I'd actually give it a 3.5.
Pros - Quality food, friendly enthusiastic service, great tasting food, crisp clean feeling, excellent variety of sweet and savoury food as well as meals and snack sized bites, ample parking, great coffee and even better smoothies, and pleasant ambience. Their pastry display is mouthwateringly good and most items are available in individual sizes.
Cons - Many items feel over priced, I don't need 100% organic so would rather pay a little less and get garden variety lettuce and tomatoes. They seem to reorganize their ordering system and table layout every month. I don't mind lining up to order because I get to look at items when I'm deciding which is nice. It's a bit annoying when it's busy and I've ordered and paid, but can't find a table. I wasn't a fan of the large shared tables they used to have and the tall bar height tables were a pain as the stools tipped so I slid off every time I sat on them. The smaller tables are a big improvement, but they are so tightly packed you need to be prepared for the lack of privacy when chatting.
There are a few cons, but the pros certainly outweigh any negatives. All in all, it's a nice place. I enjoy dining at A Ladybug. I'm not exactly a regular, but have been there quite a few times.
The smoked salmon crêpe has an interesting open faced twist and is fresh and light, it's one of my faves.
They have the BEST pâté in the city!
I'd give it a 5 star rating if the prices weren't so high.
