“ This cafe really is soul warming. We happened into this cafe on a road trip and are so glad we did. The service was warm and friendly despite being short staffed and incredibly busy on a long weekend. All the food is homemade with a nice selection of meat eater and vegan options which can be hard to find. Even the ketchup for our breakfast potatoes was homemade! We will be back the next time we’re road tripping this way! ”
“ Really enjoyed my experience here. I was expecting to place an order at the counter but they do table service. Food came out quickly and was quite tasty. Felt like a proper restaurant rather than just a cafe. Latte was equally delicious. ”
“ Definitely a SOUL BOOST here at the CUP OF SOUL CAFE! I wish it had not taken us so long to find this GEM of a place. The food was AMAZING. EVERYTHING here is done with pure love, heart and soul.... right down to the generous coffee mugs and home made jam and marmalade! My bestie and I will definitely make this a DESTINATION SPOT. Thank you Pam for filling our cups with not only the great food and coffee but with your warmth and hospitality too! We will bring leave behinds for your GIVING PANTRY when we visit next! Cheers! ........ Patti and Elly. ”
“ I’d rate this VERY high for atmosphere! We came in & were greeted like friends. Although closing time was close, I was going to order a sandwich and coffee to go. The staff made me feel like it was no trouble to stay and dine in. We had 2 paninis (I had Southern Comfort & Jeff had Sum’like a club) Peppermint Mocha & hot chocolate; we shared a salad WHICH SHE SPLIT FOR US !!! So nice not to scoop between us at the table. We could’ve opted for 1/2 sandwich. Salad was made with fresh greens. Sandwiches both crisp and full of flavour. Thankyou ”
“ Great small cafe to grab a bite to eat. This is not a big venue at all so keep in mind there is not many spots to sit but all the food has the home cooked taste to it and definitely made with love. Lots of nice baked goods and pre made meals to take to go also. Summer time they have outdoor seating area which expands their capacity which is great. They have a small selection of local beers and wines as well as a great selection of local art as well. ”
“ Wonderful place for breakfast and lunch. Homemade food makes it even better. Recently they have a new espresso machine which is awesome. Staff is always welcoming and friendly.y favorite spot to visit. Don’t forget to grab some home-made treats. ”
