Perfect place for breakfast. Coffee was excellent. Definitely my new go-to for a chill morning bite in here. The vibe was also warm and welcoming, with friendly staff.

First time eating here, we are from out of town & it was definitely the right place to choose from! Food was to die for, had the smoked brisket hash, and the spoon (a regular breakfast - delicious and filling)! Service was great, quick and friendly. cozy atmosphere but not crowded. Oh, and a hazelnut latte - 10/10

Food was excellent. Very quaint cafe with lots of delicious options. Made my experience in Gananoque even nicer. I will say they are very busy so you will have to wait a bit longer for your food but it's very much worth it

The breakfast was excellent! The coffee was absolutely outstanding—well beyond expectations, and the avocado poached eggs were perfectly prepared and delicious. I also want to highlight the professional and kind waitress Esther, who went above and beyond. Even though the coffee beans I wanted were out of stock, she managed to prepare a special bag for me. That thoughtful gesture truly made my day! Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be coming back.

If you are visiting the 1000 Islands/St. Lawrence area, this is the place you want to go for breakfast/lunch. Eclectic menu items and probably the best avocado on toast with honey, lime, feta and almonds with a side of deliciously creamy scrambled eggs, I’ve had. Really. House smoked salmon on a bagel with a poached egg is a winner too. There are both inside and outdoor dining options. Can’t wait to go back.

Being a Texas girl, I’m not much of one to jump into things too quickly, but all it took was one single bite of my pancakes and one single bite of my hash browns to pop a proposal out at Ray with all the sincerity of my heart. My cousin (also from Texas) got the braised beef breakfast burrito, and she declared it to be the best burrito she’s ever eaten - breakfast, lunch, or dinner! You cannot go wrong by eating here! Ray’s mama would be proud of him! #bestfoodthissideofheaven

Great breakfast-brunch place. The quality of the food is amazing the service is a little bit slow but is understandable when everything is fresh.

Our family enjoyed a lovely brunch this past weekend at this charming little spot. The interior is cute and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the brisket with jalapeno hash and sourdough bread—so flavourful and satisfying. I accidentally went overboard with the hot sauce, but the chef personally came out to check on us and addressed it right away, even though it was my mistake. The service was impeccable, and the prices are more than reasonable, especially considering how things are these days. We’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
