This one of those places that feels like you're going to a friend's place to eat. As busy as it gets, it's always such a welcoming and honest experience. Staffs good at what they do, the food is freshly made and the owner recognizes his regulars. Definitely in my top three lines ch spots for North Bay.

Very well balanced and obviously carefully thought out menu items and execution with flavours and textures. Refreshing to see a restaurant take pride in their craft and not just slap things together. Will be ordering take out again. Thanks so much.

Had my first lunch experience. The D-wrap and chicken Mulligatawny soup WOW. So good. My wife had chicken kiev panini and apple ginger soup and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to eating here again!

The food is always super yummy (finally got to try the famous dill pickle and bacon soup my friends kept raving about) and the service is really friendly. Homey and relaxing in-house atmosphere as well. Eat in or take away, you'll be impressed.

Not sure why I haven't written a review yet. This is the only place I know I can go and never be disappointed. Anything you try will be good. Great atmosphere. Staff are phenomenal. Accommodating with my babies and as they've grown up. I look forward to every visit; it's such a treat.

It's the perfect stop if you just want something quick and warm! Had the most amazing panini here and will be visiting again! It was a very clean setting and you could eat in if you like. The staff were super friendly and made it very welcoming. Tiny and homey, they make everything fresh.
