Overall a decent experience with really cool location and good food. Pasta was something different I haven't had else where. It was oil based and flavourful with super healthy ingredients. Usually healthy and delicious doesn't go well together but I loved the pasta. I was also very impressed with their fries and dessert. Only thing that was so so was the Philly steak. It's nice to have a restaurant inside the bookstore which would make waiting for a table not so boring, although we got our tables right away. Parking is very easy as it is located in the grant shopping mall.

A cafe in a bookstore, just what an avid reader wants. We had a great experience, our vaccine cards and I’d very checked by a smiling hostess who escorted us inside. The tables were clean and the menu had something for everyone. It was well plated and tasty. Enjoyed my salmon sandwich with fries. The server was friendly, I gave it one star less as they were out of a lot of desserts at lunch time, definitely a disappointment for me. My sister had the apple cobbler, she loved it.she took it warm with ice cream along , was a huge helping , three of us took a few bites each to finish it. We also tried their smoothie , it was well balanced and just the right consistency, served in a nice talk glass. The soup and salad combos are very attractively priced and the helping is pretty decent. The Greek salad was fresh and looked healthy. Would definitely recommend this for those looking for healthy options. Post lunch we ordered Americano too , once again were impressed with the glass used for it . 5 stars for that. Did not take pics of the cafe and display case , left it for our next visit. Would love to see there display case full , I guess with city opening this too shall happen. I’m surely going to come again and try out more salads and desserts .

The restaurant is located inside a book store. There are lots of windows and natural light, and they even have a large tree inside. The staff follow COVID protocol, they clean tables and seats after each customer leaves. The menu has a good variety of food, including soup, salad, burgers, etc. They also serve dinner and breakfast dishes. Food quality is good and prices are reasonable. The location is convenient with lots of parking.

If you like a good sandwich and soup combo for lunch, give this place a shot. Their selection is somewhat limited, but what they do, they do very well. soups: the West African peanut soup is what most people rave about (for good reason, it is delicious), but don't overlook the french onion soup.. it is superb! Sandwiches: very fresh, very well made - I have never been disappointed. I was particularly impressed by the philly cheese steak. It's a touch smaller compared to most versions which makes it perfect for lunch imho. if you are a fan of "the philly cheese steak" in general - their home-made cheese sauce is something you should experience. I usually order from here when I want a bit of a lighter lunch. They portion well. Bigger isn't always better, and I don't feel logy/weighed down after eating here, more "pleasantly satisfied"

As always, a great place. Went to celebrate my son's birthday, tuesday evening about 6:30. I was very surprised at how busy. Walking needed 20 to 30 minutes wait. By 7:30 it had cleared out though, so it was a real supper cloud Tried the potato and celery soup, which was really nice, good taste and nice texture, I had the little cup, about 6 oz, and would cheerfully had a full bowlful for supper but I was trying the wild mushroom ravioli as a main. That was really good. Nice portion and wonderful flavour. Highly recommended. I include some pictures of the pastry counter, all of it delicious, although a tad calorie rich I'm afraid
