An oasis in a bleak industrial park, this bright café does a brisk weekday business. The tidy space has a bare-bones industrial feel, but pretty displays of jams, cookies, Mighty Leaf teas and fresh-from-the-oven breads soften the hard edges. The constant door chime announces the latest arrival willing to stand in line and choose from the limited menu: one soup, three salads with extras, and eight or nine creative—if somewhat bland—sandwiches. The grilled eggplant on an olive bun with smoked provolone and tomato jam sounds better than it tastes. Asian beef-noodle soup delivers fresh flavours of coriander and scallion but is served barely warm. Unlicensed.
