A big fan of the Griffen Town / Little Burgundy area ~ Toi, Moi, et Cafe is another well crafted piece to the puzzle.
Atmosphere: Super. Spacious, but busy, neat but bustling, Toi, Moi, et Cafe is a wonderful blend of activity and tranquility all wrapped into one. Comfortable, yet unassuming, furniture provide comfort, while the seat arrangement allows for free movement yet is spaced in such a way as to make conversations further than arms length difficult to discern. This allows for talk to be privately shared due to the crowding out phenomenons of many simultaneous conversations. Well decorated and homely, this place is wonderful for early morning breakfast, mid-morning brunch, and even a late evening desert / coffee.
Service: Bi-lingual staff are smart, well spoken, and extremely pleasant. Hardworking, such that you are attended too quite often, without the need to ask.
Food: A satisfying, yet concise, breakfast menu is sure to please many. Portions are generous, and as a treat many dishes come with baked local apples with warm berry jam at the centre of their pitted core (literally, very sweet!). Toi, Moi, et Cafe also has a delectable selection of deserts ranging from crumbles (apple & pear), to cheese cakes (carrot and raspberry), chocolate and caramel cakes, as well as a wide assortment of cookies (cranberry), muffins, and biscotti. Do not under value the dinner offerings either. The selection list is limited, but the dishes are very well done and appeal to a large variety of pallets. A wine cellar provides plenty of vintages is also part of this place's charm.
Did you they take their coffee very seriously here? (check out their website!)
Love it ~ go & enjoy
