What User likes about Rumours Coffee House & Deli:
First time to marathon. Drove into town to grab breakfast. Map quest was wrong and we couldn't find the cafe. Happened upon it as we drove around. It's in the strip mall by Canadian Tire (across from the military tank). I got the eggwich (McDonald's egg mcmuffin) and my husband a breakfast wrap. Both excellent. A simple cafe, but yummy breakfast. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Rumours Coffee House & Deli:
As far as I can tell this is the only option for an espresso between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. On a cross Canada trip my partner and I popped in on both our trips out and back. They have a semiautomatic espresso machine and need some tamping and steaming/frothing instruction. I discarded my latte on the trip out and the second attempt was only marginally better. My partner ordered a mocha both times and said... View all feedback.

There are not many choices for restaurants in Marathon, but this one serves great sandwiches! Cream of asparagus soup, however, was pasty and tasteless.

Grabbed breakfast here a few times and coffee when I had no time to sit and eat. The breakfast sandwich I had was deliciously hot with tasty cheese melted on it...

A small town cafe in Marathon, Ontario is a hidden gem for those traveling between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. Despite some inconsistencies with orders and cleanliness concerns, the simple menu of sandwiches, wraps, and desserts at this cozy spot is worth the stop. The food quality, portion sizes, and unique poutine options, like "messy fries," make it a great choice for a satisfying meal. The cafe may lack modern decor, but the friendly staff and delicious, homemade food options keep customers coming back, offering a much-needed break from fast food chains while on a road trip.

This restaurant was just okay. Despite having an A rating from the health department, it didn't appear very clean. The bathroom was quite dirty. I only ate a co...

This was a road trip stop, and we wanted a local restaurant (not a chain like McD) so we stopped in here. Decor was old and outdated, but the food was delicious...

The restaurant staff lack proper training and do not speak well at all. Despite this, the coffee we had was very hot even through the sleeve, but it did have a...
