  This was my first time having lunch here. For so many years I heard lots of good things about it. It didn't let us down. The atmosphere is like a large coffee shop, lots of seating. My mom and I each had a latte to start. The menu had so many options, from paninis to wraps, salads and sandwiches.
  
  I was so torn on what to eat. So I had the trio salad (seafood, chicken and tuna on spring mix lettuce) and a half a warm Tuscany panini. Both sooo good I'm glad we tried this place as we'll definitely be back. Food was so flavorful!

  They should have a sign that explains thats you  order upfront and then seat yourselves. They had 4 ladies behind the counter, and 2 guys in the kitchen. They shouldve divided their staff up because it took over 30 minutes for us to get our food. With their large food menu, they should have more kitchen help to speed up the process. Alot of things could have been more efficient but in it had decent gluten free options for this small town. Large coffee menu too.

  Nice place with good food.  Order at the counter and seat yourself. I like the concept, but I don't like the extra long wait to receive our meals. If we had planned the extra time it would be a nice place to sit around. Next time we would sit inside the main area. The patio is a bit loud.

  Day trip in Algoma and needed to catch some lunch.  Picked this place based on all the positive reviews (thanks Yelp community!).  I had a positive experience but there was certainly some confusion along the way.  It felt like I was having a series of blond moments that day.
  
  First, the restaurant is a house, which threw me off when looking for as I was driving.  Tried to go through the wrong door, and look! Oh there's a big sign saying "Entrance"...oops my bad.  
  
  What's still perplexing to me is this place a coffeehouse or a restaurant? To me here are the differences:
  
  Coffeeshop:
  -You order at a counter
  -Seat yourself
  -Food gets brought out to you
  -You get your own silverware and napkins from the designated area
  -You clean up after yourself and put your dishes in the bins or buckets in a designated area
  
  Restaurant:
  -Someone seats you
  -Make your order at the table
  -The table is setup with napkins and silverware
  -Food gets brought out to you
  -They clean up the table
  
  As I walked in, you see tables set up that it looks like how a restaurant set up, so I wasn't sure if I wait for someone or sit myself.  Well you need to take a few steps to the left at the counter. There you order your meal, sit wherever you want, and they bring their food out to you. They have a big menu of coffee drinks behind the counter, but the food menu are small pieces of paper in this bin that wasn't super obvious to me.
  
  Made my order and had a fantastic hot chocolate with the perfect topping of whip cream.  I ordered a sea food wrap with a side salad. They serve a lot of wraps, salads, and some grilled sandwiches. My wrap was ok, nothing thrilling but was able to chow it down.  For some reason I loved my side salad, the greens and other veggies were fresh and tasty - kind of wished I would have got a whole salad instead.
  
  A couple more things that added to my confusion is when the gentleman brought my food, I asked for silverware and napkins and he had to get it from a girl behind the counter.  So, do you have to ask for your silverware each time? Just to make sure, I asked the girls at the counter if they clean my table or do take care of it myself - yeah you leave everything at the table for them to clean.
  
  To me, it feels like it's a hybrid of a restaurant and coffee shop. I could tell this is a local favorite as it was fairly busy at that point, and I'm sure once you understand their system, it's really not that hard.  If I'm in the area, I would consider stopping there again.

  This is such a charming little place to eat. Fantastic coffee espressos and great healthy options with locally made bread and fresh ingredients. You truly feel like you're eating in your grandmothers kitchen. Great hospitality.
