When we squeezed five of us in a four table we had to find a server. There seemed to be only one server for the whole cafe but I have to say he worked his butt off to get us all looked after.I had a hambur... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Cafe Nostalgica:
When staying on the UoO campus in residence we stopped by one morning at this cute little café.

Cafe Nostalgica, located on the UoO campus, offers a cozy atmosphere with vegan-friendly options. Despite some service hiccups, the restaurant's appeal lies in its friendly staff, live music events, and reasonable prices. With a diverse menu including vegan dishes and accommodating staff, it is a popular spot among UOttawa students and conference attendees alike. The Thursday night open-mic and art exhibits add to the vibrant ambiance, making it a go-to spot for good food and a lively atmosphere. Although some find the prices a bit high, the overall experience is welcoming and enjoyable for those looking for a fun evening out.
