The Canteen & Creamery

really good sweets and great coffee (especially the holiday specials); also super chill vibe and the employees are always so friendly!!

I like their variety of healthy salads, fresh pastries and drinks. Close to the waterfront too. Good service.

New Café on the block and it did not disappoint!! This place is cute, beautifully designed and inviting. It gives me a Parisian bakery vibe but there's also something a little beachy about it. I was a little overwhelmed with all the choices and the staff member behind the counter acknowledged this and asked if it was my first time there. I told her it was and she explained everything they had behind the glass. She also let me know that all of their food is made in house daily, including the pastries! I decided on their iced caramello coffee, it was a great cup of coffee. Milk, coffee and caramel drizzle, nothing too complicated about it. I found their roast delicious, not too acidic and the hint of caramel on point. I chose their 3 cheese grilled cheese for lunch. For those who do not like the taste of brie rind, never fear, the brie adds a creamy note to the sandwich but no over powering flavour. However, they also offer straight cheddar for those who love the classic. I have to mention their sourdough, it is classically sour and has pretty good flavour to it! Do not expect the classic doughy and dense texture though, their sourdough is a bit lighter. Lastly, I tried their Danish, it was made kind of like an almond tart but using Danish dough. You could tell the Danish had been baked that morning, the pastry was easy to bite into, no resistance and hardly any flaking, which tells me two things: it was not over baked and it had not been sitting out long. I was also happy to see their inclusive sign on the door on my way out. More businesses need to do this, it lets people know they are safe within those doors.

We made a quick stop at the Canteen & Creamery while enjoying the nice weather. We really liked the set up where there's a specific ice cream/slushy window and then a register you go to inside if you want more than that. We thought it was a good idea as most people just wanted ice cream! We ended up getting the vanilla chocolate soft serve, dole whip soft serve, and the carrot cake. Everything was tasty and hit the spot, the cones were really good and worth getting over a cup. We definitely want to come back and try more items next time!

I found this place off google maps and I was a little bit confused as I pulled up to the building but i went in the lady working the front was so lovely and sweet. Their chocolate croissant was so darn good. Best one I’ve had in a whiiillllleee. Glad I stumbled across this place. Sandwich and pesto pasta were great too.

I like coffee and soft icecream, specially the pumpkin soft serve was the best but their sofa condition was gross. I won’t never sit the sofa. I ordered chocolat cake, it was super dry and the texture was rough. I think this place will get better if they make better bake goods.

Nice and cozy cafe, very friendly and patient staff. I tried soft serve ice cream and breakfast galette with meat. The galette was really good. And my toddler enjoyed the ice cream. Definitely will come here again to try other pastries and coffee. One drawback: they only serve 2 flavors for ice cream

Not enough soft serve in their screamer, in my opinion, but still refreshing and good. Next time, I’d just have the pineapple dole whip in a cone instead though. Most of their sandwiches were out when I went so I didn’t get to try them. I did tried a couple baked goods though and they were not edible, sadly, I had to throw them away. Service was nothing to write about, but overall it was still an enjoyable experience!
