"Rainy Tuesday in Orillia, very welcoming after the heat wave, while biking i stopped in to this cute and quaint cafe and shop. Needing some warmth on a 17 degree day i stopped in for lunch around 12:40 and ordered their last bit of French onion soup (small), pesto montecristo sandwich, and a medium coffee (Timmy's style).
Positives: Staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Once you've ordered find a nice spot as the staff will attend to your order and deliver to enjoy your choices...view the local art on the walls, you may find your next art piece.
Sandwich was hot, fresh, aromatic, and quite tasty. Coffee was hot, smelled fresh brewed, and welcoming from the dampness.
Cons: French onion soup was tepid and felt as though the warmer was turned off hours ago...shame as I was hoping for a temperature like the coffee..hot.
Price came to $24 which felt higher than it should, but I like to support local businesses...so will be back again.
I recommend you give it a try... for the soup ask if it's hot and if not ask to have it heated."
