"I've been to Natrel milk bar 4 times now and here was my experience. \n\n1st visit: I was at Natrel for their grand opening and it was spectacular! The shelves was full of great looking sandwiches and baked goods, great coffees where you can choose lactose free milk and even their signature Maple Syrup milk. It's basically a coffee and dessert bar that features Canadian Natrel milk.....which is my favourite milk and the best tasting lactose free milk on the market. Don't believe me? Do a taste test.....natrel lactose free vs neilson lactose free......neilson tastes like really gross sweet sugar water. The grand opening also had a latte artist who did an excellent latte art of my pup....made great milk shake, and I came home with a nifty TO-RON-TO t-shirt that has milk cartons for our cityscape that is still a favourite of mine. \n\n2nd visit: Not many people in the store, but we had just had dinner at the Drake Hotel and wanted some dessert.....I had them make an Adffogato (expresso on ice-cream) that was AWESOME! Hubby had a smarties sundae which he enjoyed...that was great! They were missing a bunch of menu items but I figure it's because they just opened and that's okay.\n\n3rd visit: A friend and I was waiting for an event to start in the area and so I wanted to show her this Natrel Milk bar. Went in at 8pm, it was empty...nothing on the shelves, one person working there...it looked quite sad. The sign said they opened till 10pm I think, but yeah since it was so desolate we didn't stay there...we went to Poutini's and had a snack instead. \n\n4th visit: It was 8pm again....and we were in the area for another event around the area with a new friend, I wanted to check it out with her and show her the cool Milk carton shaped seating areas..... It's not even suppose to close till 10pm I think....but it was closed. \n\nSo had it not been the last two visits, I would've given this place a solid 5 stars....but they started out strong and shortly after, kinda just disappointing."^^ . . .
