Been coming here for years. The dough is always made fresh right in front of you, and you can see them add the toppings. That consistency is why I keep coming back. It&#39;s just a solid, reliable spot in the mall.

The Kyoto cherry iced green tea was the star. So refreshing on a warm day. The space itself is really calming, with clean lines and soft lighting. Just a nice, quiet spot to enjoy a drink.

The menu is so clear about what&#39;s gluten-free and vegetarian. I didn&#39;t have to ask a single question, which was a relief. Just glanced and knew what I could order.

The green curry lunch special hit the spot. Really liked the coconut soup that came with it.

The veggie sandwich was the star. The bread had a nice crunch, and the roasted peppers inside were sweet and smoky. Fries were crisp and salty. Beer was decent, cold.

Loved the vibe here! The basement feels like a secret little cave, so cozy and unique. Perfect for a chill dinner date. The lighting was just right too.

The lemon cake was the star for me. The layers were so perfect, each one light and lemony. I had it with a latte, which was nice. Just a heads up, don&#39;t forget to register your plate if you park in their lot!

Been coming here for years. The prices are still fair for what you get, even during their regular hours. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Comfortable seating inside, good for a business meeting. Atmosphere is relaxed but not too loud. It&#39;s a practical spot downtown.

The fish cakes are the main reason I come here. Fresh, flaky fish inside, nice crispy crust. Had them with the spinach and strawberry salad for a quick business lunch. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

Been coming here for years, and that open rack of croissants is still the main draw. You can smell them from the door. Always grab one fresh off the rack, still warm. It&#39;s the consistency that keeps me coming back.

Been going here for years. The pork belly sweet and sour is the real deal, just like I remember it from the old spots downtown. Portions are still generous, which is nice. Solid choice for a quick, no-fuss dinner.

The Sunday brunch line was long, but it moved pretty quickly. I had the eggs benedict, which was decent and quite comforting. A solid spot for a lazy weekend morning.

The focaccia was so good, but $14 for bread is a bit much. I&#39;d probably just get an entree next time.

Chris was a great server. He knew the menu well, explained the specials clearly. Made ordering quick and easy. Breakfast portions are huge, no way you leave hungry. Good spot for a fast, filling meal.

Tried the lunch bento special for $14. It&#39;s huge! The miso soup was different, really rich but not salty. Good deal for what you get.

The lobster poutine is a solid gluten-free pick. As someone with celiac, the chef really gets it.

Had a great lunch on their sunny patio with a view of the Citadel. My Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, and the ranch chicken burger was juicy. Jen was super friendly and made us feel welcome. A solid spot for a relaxed bite.

Service was really helpful, they knew the menu inside out and took their time explaining things. Made the whole thing easy.

The shrimp po&#39; boy was pretty good, some of the best I&#39;ve had. The evening crowd is energetic, though a bit loud.

Paella came out quick. Really liked the saffron flavor, and the mussels were spot on. Chorizo had a nice kick to it. Husband&rsquo;s sangria was sweet, not too strong. Solid spot for a casual dinner.

The strawberry shortcake waffles were the highlight. Fresh strawberries, whipped cream that wasn&#39;t too sweet, and a crisp waffle. That&#39;s what I came for. The rest is just background noise.

The vegetarian platter was the highlight. The falafel had a crisp crust and a fluffy, herb-flecked interior. The baba ghanoush was smoky and creamy, perfect with the warm pita. Portions are definitely generous.

The patio right by the water is lovely. They even have blankets for when it gets breezy, which is a nice touch.

Been coming here for years, and the donair wrap is still my go-to. Always loaded with meat and that signature sauce. Yeah, you&#39;ll need a handful of napkins, but that&#39;s part of the charm. It&#39;s just consistently good.
