I caught up with some friends from my advising days at Our Town Cafe on East Broadway and Kingsway.

I hadn't eaten yet and got a panini that had bacon, cheese and other goodness as well as a Henry's Americano(which was a chocolatey mocha espresso).
Here's my review:

Food: 21/25
Service: 19/25
Ambiance: 18/25
Value: 19/25

Total: 77/100 Above Average

A small cafe yet fairly popular with locals. The panini and Americano were both delicious. The panini came with a hot sauce dip which worked quite nicely. And there's also self serve cold water available which is nice.

Service was decent though the barista had to check what the soup of the day was... French onion so I didn't get that, and they also forgot about my friends chai latte all together until she reminded them.

The cafe itself is fairly small with older style tables, chairs and benches- not really suitable for larger groups. And the place seems to attract an interesting clientele.

As for value, it's fairly on par with other cafes. My panini was $7.77 and my mocha Americano was $3.50 I believe.

Recommendation: Nice little cafe to have a quick bite or coffee with a friend. Also a selection of vegetarian and gluten free snacks too! Try it out.
