Feedback
I recall seeing this café highlighted in a newspaper or an online food blog, so I was eager to give it a try. The space is small to medium-sized, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it bustling with customers on a rainy Saturday, even before noon. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the menu offered a wide variety of choices. The interior of the café was bright and tidy. I ordered the miso salmon, which was delightful, with a mix of vegetables that perfectly complemented the salmon.
Humble cafe in the suburbs of Macleod with a crew full of smiles!<br/ <br/ FOOD: I ordered the Berrylicious Smoothie Bowl and to my surprise, they changed the recipe ? while the full description was still on there so I was like oh lmao HAHAH but it definitely was true to its name! It was definitely a berry smoothie bowl and for once, the granola was the BIGGEST portion but the fruits were slightly skimpy. The toppings of cacao nibs and pistachio was a nice touch however and it was a good smoothie bowl! Slightly different but good.<br/ <br/ SERVICE: Really pleasant service with the loveliest waitress who greeted everyone with a smile and a happy demeanour! Though it was a cloudy morning, the crew definitely brightened it :
Absolutely LOVED Touchstone! Located in a gorgeous suburban are across from a child friendly park, the ambience is amazing. The cafe has a fancy feel with incredible food. The French toast was presented in a stunning way and was so mouthwatering. The pulled pork was flavoursome and hearty! Will DEFINITELY return.
Beautiful cafe! Service was attentive and friendly. Menu was great, lots of variety. Food was delicious and so was the coffee. Will certainly be back!
The food is fantastic—delicious with excellent vegan options available. The service has definitely improved over the past few weeks. This is the best cafe in Macleod!
