got a gluten free waffle, it was delicious, and there are a bunch of options to choose from. service was pretty slow, I didn't get my tea for 25 mins, and I overheard other people asking for menus, to order their food, etc. ambiance was nice though, cozy in the cold and rain. I would absolutely come back

Cozy breakfast/brunch place at the heart of Gastown. Service is a bit slower but given it was busy in summer, it is not that bad. Food options are great. It is very family-friendly. The kids enjoy the waffles a lot.

Had the More Bang for your Nutella along with a latte. I am not much of a sweet tooth owner, so I will try something a little less chocolatey next time. No complaints, it was delicious!The service was excellent. Atmosphere was quaint and so relaxing we lost tack of time. Great food and amazing company was the perfect afternoon out.

a unique cafe in gastown! there is really something for everyone here, they have all kinds on their menus: sweet, savoury, all-vegan options, etc. i got the blue sky breakfast from the all-day breakfast menu, they let me swap out the fried egg for scrambled egg without extra cost. also they were out of the usual breakfast sausages so the server asked for my preference in a replacement and i got a different type of sausage. even with the changes it was so delicious. the vibe of the cafe is great too, i really enjoyed how pretty the decorations are.

Clean open and super cute cafe. We ordered a Matcha and gluten free waffle. The smell was wonderful and super tasty. Staff was welcoming friendly and helpful with gluten free allergy options. Super adorable decor and vibe. 10/10 would recommend. The music was also very lovely and fitting.

Just had the Let's Get It (caramelized bananas and pecans) and it was delicious! Loved the slight crunch of the caramel. The Cafe is very cozy and cute!

We reserved for 6, but they insisted we said 4. We had to wait another 40 minutes, but it wasn't a big deal since there is a great record store next door. Once we were seated, the food was fantastic! Everything that was ordered was delicious. The smoked salmon Benny on waffles was great and the smoked duck was amazing.
