We stopped in for a quick bite before heading to the Royal Alexandra Theatre for a show. What a nice cafe!
The menu is nothing fancy, but it all looks good -- pasta, pizza, soups, salads and sandwiches. We sat in a quiet corner, and enjoyed grilled vegetable paninis with cole slaw and a spinach-beet-goat cheese salad on the side -- all very flavourful!
The panini bread is excellent, and the vegetables were good (not at all greasy like you find at some places). The dressing on the spinach-beet salad is light and lovely (not oily or vinegary).
We splurged and split a large hunk of carrot cake. It was moist and sweet.
I noticed a few people lingering over wine or coffee. Nobody appeared to be rushing them away after they'd finished their meals.
This is a nice place to stop on your way to the theatre (or even for lunch).
