Samar HamdanMay 21, 2017Amazing scones. I tried the lemon poppy seed and I liked it so much. The goat cheese sandwich was perfect too. Long line and busy place. I took my food to go and ate it in a nearby park.Upvote3Downvote
Anya GregorySeptember 21, 2016Went here on a recent trip to Ottawa. The scone sandwiches are great, but I recommend taking them with a soup for a more filling lunch. The goat cheese, tomato pesto, and soup were both delicious.Upvote1Downvote- Linda SFebruary 18, 2013Recommendations #1) Turkey Stilton on Herb & Onion & Goat Cheese w/Pesto, they are amazing. However when it is busy, be prepared to wait 15-20mins & always double check your order before leaving. :(

(ie If it serves soups and salads with the baked items, and has a seating area, the 'just a bakery' argument falls a bit flat. Still love it; I go (and an happy to clean up) as often as possible!)UpvoteDownvote
JasonNovember 2, 2015Nice place for breakfast or brunch, it's on a side street but surprised to see how busy it was!UpvoteDownvote
Arash NarchiJune 29, 2016Poached salmon and cucumber on herb and onion scone is solid. Wifi is top notch tooUpvoteDownvote
HinaDecember 11, 2015Poppyseed scone is the best! Their breakfast scone plate is pricy, but really filling and delicious.UpvoteDownvote
Chris AsselinAugust 24, 2013Cool place and good food. Highly recommend the herb and onion scone with turkey and stilton cheese w/salad. YUMMY!UpvoteDownvote
Yalda ShiraziOctober 24, 2019Let’s be honest; staff, atmosphere and services are good but quality and prices aren’t. With this price I could have had s.th better in downtown for breakfast.UpvoteDownvote
Elizabeth MalcolmApril 29, 2016Their scones are delicious ❤️ made fresh and fall apart in your mouth 😍UpvoteDownvote- To the guy saying 'it's a bakery, not a restaurant': not reflected in the prices or menu - maybe it's both? :) Great food all day, though, and except for one (rude) older woman, really nice staff!UpvoteDownvote
I can honestly say, I regret not going here sooner. It would and could have saved me a lot of trouble in -30C weather.UpvoteDownvote
CanCultureSeptember 9, 2011Skip the mealwitches and instead go on the weekends for their brunch plate, which comes with a sweet or savoury scone, fresh fruit and mixed greens. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
Dee HOctober 10, 2017Vanilla cream Scone was delish! Service was mediocre, no teaspoons (had to use plastic soup spoons).....I guess I expect something different when there are scones involved.

linnieDecember 31, 2014I love the scones here, but the service is incredibly slow. The "meals" are insanely overpriced for the volume of food you get. Finally, don't get the americano - it's just drip coffee.UpvoteDownvote
- Paul DukesDecember 20, 2009I recommend trying everything. They have seasonal scones as well. The pumpkin scones in the fall are my favorite.Upvote1Downvote
To the person bitching about cleanup and tables - it's a scone bakery, not a restaurant. People are supposed to carry their dishes up to the counter when doneUpvote7Downvote- Two PickyFoodiesNovember 24, 2010If you come in early you will find a table since the staff seem to have forgotten that cleanup is part of their role.UpvoteDownvote
Nathalie GravelFebruary 25, 2010Vanilla scone with clotted cream and rhubarb ginger jam. Delicious!Upvote2Downvote
- Michael McAdamOctober 26, 2013The homiest, coziest place for the most delicious breakfast and the comfort of fresh baking.UpvoteDownvote1
Laura BouchezDecember 15, 2018J’ai pris un bacon cheese melt. C’était bon et le cheap. On peut choisir salade ou soupe pour 3$ en plus. Il n’y avait plus de soupe à notre arrivée, mes amies était déçues. Mais on est arrivées à 15h
