“ Lovely atmosphere, sweet service, always smiling ! I LOVE their coffee and muffins! ”
“ “What do you mean you’ve been here 20 years!” That’s what I said to Tom when I walked into this coffee shop for the first time. It is a pleasant surprise for me to find a “new” place that’s been around a while. I noted Tom’s energy and passion for what he does. And Salyna rounded out the experience with her warm and inclusive demeanour. They make an amazing team. Great house roasted coffee. Assorted house baked goods. An intimate patio. And a short walk to Commissioner’s Park (Tulip Festival) and Dow’s Lake. Know I know! I highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area. ”

“ Every friday they offer a different choice of mini cakes , I found them adorable and perfect to make someone’s day . Each cake is 6 or you can choose to get the 4 of them that is around 20 . They also have a different sandwich every friday . You can look what they would have for the upcoming friday in their instagram page . The service was good and the food was delicious. ”
“ Great spot for coffee or tea. They carry baked goods from Maverick, and have breakfast options in the morning. Hours are catered to the government workers in the area. Very cute cafe but limited seating! Dumpling Park behind it is worth checking out for lunch! ”
“ The Morning Owl on Rochester St. is great. Super cute and small, and the guy working there is always so friendly and fun. He remembers people by name, is super polite, and goes out of his way if you have a special request. They don't have a super big food selection but you can go to a Starbucks if you want that - this is where you come for that personal touch :) ”
