Came in for some brunch, the savoury crepes were quite tasty and quickly made, coffee was good as well. There was a wide assortment of pastries and desserts, while we didn't try any during our visit, they looked delicious, and they offered sugar and gluten free/friendly options as well.

Love love love this bakery! They have so much selection, even some gluten free options for my son that can’t have gluten. I’m obsessed with dark chocolate mousse and theirs is sooooo yummy! Pre order their cakes for special occasions too, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t recall if they have vegan options, that’ll be what I look for next time I visit!

My husband and I stayed at the hotel this past weekend. We had breakfast in the Tiara dining room and the food was incredible. WE had the same server both Saturday ad Sunday morning. For the life of me, I can not remember his name, it began with an A. He was wonderful, attentive and what a personality. Saturday night we came in for dinner, and Rose served us. Once again, she was incredible. My husband has gluten and lactose allergies. We spoke to Rose about the preset menu which had desert listed. We inquired about the gluten/lactose free dessert that we saw on the menu and she said that she would accommodate us, not a problem. He ordered mussels, without asking, they adjusted the recipe for him without butter. His entrée was the same. WE didn't ask for this but the fact that they did this for us, SIMPLY AMAZING. I can not thank you enough for this. A, Rose and the chef, kudos!! Food was simply superb and the service was wonderful. Thank you again.

Super helpful staff and some of the best smoothies in Niagara! Sheridan helped my partner and I find vegan and gluten free options for our quick lunch as they were able to accommodate us not having a reservation. The food was healthy and fresh, and really delicious! Everything was clearly made from scratch and was well worth the short wait.

A true GEM and the ONLY cafe that we go to in Niagara-on-the-Lake!! The best coffee - European espresso with many selection of coffees and tons of different milks. Delicious gluten-free baked options - blueberry muffins and feather light cheesecake. Everything prepared with love and care by this husband wife team!! Quaint, quiet and soothing decor with soft jazz background music. Very clean washroom. We recently called ahead for our orders, and voilá - all our coffees and baked items were beautiful placed on a table all prepared for my wife and I, and our friends. Thank you Daniel and Gina!! ❤️❤️

An amazing fine dining experience! We made reservations but arrived early after seeing a show at the shaw. They sat us early with no hesitation and gave us time to enjoy a cocktail before bringing over menus. Our party of five chose to do their six course tasting menu, which we were delighted to hear could be accommodated for gluten free for our parents. Each course was delicious, highlighting local ingredients (including honey from the pastry chefs own bees!), and was a true leisurely fine dining experience. Service was excellent; Anna, Jack, and Penelope were attentive and gracious. Their patio is a lovely place to dine.

My experience here was a while ago but wasn't too bad. I ordered the vegetable panini, but I needed to make a change to remove an ingredient (cheese) and get gluten free bread due to food intolerances at the time, which have gotten better since. I was told that they couldn't do that because multiple foods were premade. I understood, but isn't the point of a restaurant to have 'fresh' food? They ended up creating a fresh panini, which I was greatful for due to the limited amount of vegetarian options. Yes, I could have chosen one of the other vegetarian options, except I couldn't because almost all (if not all) of the options had tomatoes, which give me a violent reaction if I eat them. That being said, the vegetarian options they had without tomatoes that day was limited to the panini or a 1 trio of dips. The rest of the vegetarian options all had tomatoes: feta bruschetta (tomatoes), salads (all with tomatoes), flatbread (tomatoes), penne tomato (tomatoes). Keep in mind the options as I was told were pre-prepared, so how could I alter them to be without tomatoes? The panini was also pretty small for the cost. The small salad it came with had a raspberry (all natural) dressing. That dressing had almost a neon pink colour and was so sweet, that it tasted artificial. The people I was with had fish and chips. Again, smallish portions. I was told the fried fish in beer batter was pretty good. That being said, we all had the same impression, that the food was bland, especially the fries. The portions combined with the blandness of the food didn't make the cost feel worth it, as it is pricier. The bathroom designs were awful, the rest of the interior was pretty interesting. The customer service was pretty good.
