Especially if you are looking for a staple in Peterborough's bar/café scene. A kitschy and cozy bar/café in the heart of Peterborough's restaurant district. They have an average menu, but the ambience, staff, and community here sell it for me.

Well balanced between soft and solid. Prime eggs are used and rich in taste.The coffee is rich in flavour.The attendant is friendly and diligent. Very impressive that the attendant is sensitive to first time customers.
