Very yummy breakfast/brunch place. They have pretty good coffee too. We order the Cortada and the red velvet latte. Both were great. Their food also tasted great. The eggs Benedict were especially yummy. We like that they have real food display for ordering but dislike that there’s no price on the food until they ring it up.

I went to this place with my friend for brunch and had a great experience. They had a large selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, crepes and multiple vegan options. My friend had the all day breakfast tray (loved it) I had the quinoa, oat and fruit bowl. Everything was tasty and fresh. Good coffee and tea. They have free pup cups and they are dog friendly – outdoor seating available.

Weekday brunch dine-in:(~ 11 am) 5⭐️
– Walk-in, seated immediately(got lucky), such a lovely vibe inside and out, pet friendly . The place was a little over reasonably priced but bang for buck for the dine-in experience
Pro-tip(s): Share a main plate with something savoury, thank me later Seat yourself next to who you conserve when you as a group(it’s loud) .. all the yapping
– Ordered Avocado and Eggs toast, it’s fresh, rich, visually vibrant and most importantly yummy and filling with the right amount of calories. Even the arugula was good
– The Banana and Nutella croffle (crossaint pressed into waffle) was , on the sweeter side, again a prefect plate being both savoury and instagrammable.
– I’d definitely go here again, for the amazing food, vibe, quick service, closer parking and good seating options etc… the list goes on..
– Also, a loud place probably due to seating proximity, to explain with example, you’d be able to speak with person next to you and facing you, not diagonal and beyond…, I’d avoid if you’re a big group.
– Bathroom available with code(ask before you go) just outside in the alley.

After a bit of boring classes, my partner and I were looking for a place to grab lunch, and we decided on Foreigner Cafe. This place was pretty awesome. Once you enter, you can check out models of all of the food items they offer and the delicious looking pastries ready to order. The cashier nicely helped us figure out our order and we made our way over to an empty table in the adjoining dining room. The beeper system was also really neat. Eventually our drinks and food arrived to our table and we tucked in. The drinks were honestly not that good, but the food was great. The drinks were very much just normal coffee drinks, however the food had a lot of balance and nuance. I would definitely come back here, but maybe just skip out on the drinks.

Ok so I’ve been here twice now and the same barista made my Cubano Cortadito. Perfect extraction. Divine flavour and balance in coffee and milk and condensed milk. This drink sends me to heaven and lifts my spirits. Blessed to enjoy this cafecito. Come here if you love yourself and can enjoy the small things in life like living in the moment and taking in the beautiful atmosphere they provide. Don’t sleep on this cafe with incredible presentation and product

Came on a Monday around lunchtime and had very prompt service! The quiche was delicious, and I loved the dressing on the side salad. The latte was just okay (not very sweet and the tea wasn’t as strong as it could have been), but I am picky about my London Fogs so that in no way influences my positive review of this restaurant! They have a sensor you put on your table so that they know where to bring the food, and the atmosphere is great for studying, working, or enjoying a meal with friends.

We came here Saturday for late Brunch.
Orange blossom latte was good. Salmon Benedict was not good. Something was missing.
I’ve been here several times. I was enjoying food.
But something was off today. Atmosphere changed. Food changed. Service was lacking. (They only brought food & drink to table, but no one checked in to see if food was good or if we needed anything else. It wasn’t even busy) server spilled the coffee a little bit and didn’t even offer to bring napkins 🙂
Anyways, hope new management will make this space great! New employees need some trainings.

I got a very European vibe from the taste of the food. My mocha latte was not very sweet which was exactly how I like it. Only complaint was how far apart our 4 orders arrived. I want to say at least 15min apart. With the 2 salmon toasts coming 1st & last.

It is ok, not great. We had the avocado toast and breakfast croissant, along with one afogato and a latte. Avocado Toast was with paste instead of avocado slices, looked like NY style. The coffee was 5 stars though. Good service too, you pay at the counter and they will bring it to you.

Overall good.
Pros:
– lots of delicious food and drink choices. Tables were available, no big line at all.
Cons:
– way too loud, anytime I come here (you guys can do some noise isolation walls…);
– my eclair was so dry and tasted like bad one like this was 4 days eclair (I bake, I know taste of pastries)
