Café Aria

I was looking forward to enjoying myself at a high end cafe for quite a while now and cafe aria delivered ! Food : This was a fully halal restaurant . We ordered roast beef eggs Benedict , maple butter pancakes, crème brûlée French toast, coffee and a raisin custard croissant. The food was really good , very delicious. However the one star I knocked was for the coffee . For being such a high end cafe the coffee did not deliver. The croissant was quite delicious and flaky. Service was excellent, we were taken to it seats within minutes . Staff were very attentive and even while waiting for our order they came and kept updating us ( food came decently early ) . They were quite nice and friendly as well. Atmosphere. This was a nice high end cafe and the atmosphere clearly reflected. Over all , awesome experience, of course overpriced like other reviews say, so definitely an occasional treat . But I will definitely be coming back.

Most of the food items were pretty good. Really liked the Eggs Benedict and Trench Toast. Pancakes were average and brewed coffee was quite underwhelming. The atmosphere is nice and service is quite good.

Beautiful cafe. The pastries looked fantastic and tasted pretty good. The hot chocolate was a little mild for my taste, but was good. The prices seemed a bit steep though, for 3 croissants, 2 hot chocolates and a cappuccino we ended up paying nearly 50$. I was surprised to find out the cafe had been open for more than a month though. While the servers were friendly and kind, service was slow and seemed confused. They ran out of cups while we were there, which was pretty surprising for a cafe. I also found the booths uncomfortable and a very tight fit - if I go again I would definitely go for a table with standard chairs to get a bit more space.

We ordered the truffle omelette, avocado eggs benedict, and the pepper and carrot soup with a side of the truffle fries. The food was severely underwhelming for the price point. The truffle omelette didn't have any truffle flavour at all, and the portion size was so small that the person who ordered it was still hungry after finishing it. The cost was $24. The eggs benedict was $25, and I only noticed when seeing the ingredients now that there was truffle goat cheese in it. It was a fairly bland benny and definitely no truffle flavour. The person who ordered the soup was disappointed that it came with two of the thinnest sourdough crostinis she'd ever had served with soup. I tried a little bit of it, and it also was very underwhelming in flavour. The truffle fries were the most truffle-y tasting, but at the price of $12, you can definitely find better in many other restaurants or pubs. Honestly the pastries are beautiful, and they look delicious. That being said, I can't really justify spending 16 to 18 dollars on a 4-inch piece of cake or a tiny tart. This location is a newer-developed area, and it would be really nice to have a local, non-chain little breakfast/brunch/cafe. I just wish either the portion or quality reflected the price or vice versa. That being said, I'll give this place at least one more try in the future, but I think the fact that so many people leaving reviews with concerns over the prices is fairly telling. For the food items above and two drip coffees and a latte, we spent around $92 before any tax or tip on breakfast.

I had the Salmon Egg Benedict and it was very delicious. Coffee was also good. The service was amazing. Very friendly staff. Nice setting. Highly recommended
