Advice: If you want a waffle sandwich as opposed to a regular sandwich on offer, just ask to see if they can make it with their waffles.

 

Smoked Salmon Waffle Sandwich

Espresso Macchiato

 

This stylish café is decked out in all black and white, with seating throughout this neighbourhood café. My friend Avelino and I visited for lunch to indulge in their waffles, specifically for their savoury waffles. I had them custom create a Smoked Salmon Waffle Sandwich ($8) with the (waffle substituting the croissant) served with a side green salad and Avelino had the same. We both had an Espresso Macchiato ($3) and were so very tempted to finish of the meal with one of their sweet waffles topped with ice cream, though we held back on this visit.

Known for their signature waffles, you will find a good selection of savoury as well as sweet waffles. Here they custom roast their coffee beans in the café for their coffees, world renown Mariage Frères teas are featured and you will also find a fine selection of delectable cakes, and other delicious desserts to savour. Looking forward to my return visit to indulge in their Ice Cream Parfait Waffle that looks divine.

Advice: The best seat in the house is at the Syphon/Espresso bar.

They have smoothies such as a Japanese Matcha & Red Bean Smoothie for $4.70 and the Fresh Taro Smoothie for $3.75 as well as full leaf tea.

I had the Green Tea Matcha Waffle ($3.50) and a Espresso Macchiato ($3.05). They offer two brands of coffee from local roasters which include 49th Parallel and Origins coffee.

Advice: They don’t take reservations and they don’t have wireless

This is a café kind of restaurant that serves awesome sandwiches. Located next door to Chambar, the café is the daytime place to indulge, featuring homemade Belgian Liege-style waffles available plain or with any one of 8 gourmet toppings. I had their house special which was a waffle with the dark chocolate topping and an espresso machiatto for $6 which was devine. Other intriguing toppings include fig orange marmalade, lavender milk chocolate, organic maple syrup to name a few. The sandwiches are in the mid to high range as far as prices go, but they are a good size and you won’t be hungry afterwards. Coffee from 49th Parallel, teas, smoothies, baklava, granola, fresh fruit round out the menu.

Have a seat in front of the classic wooden bar on one of the stools or at a table aside the exposed brick walls backdrop. Magazines and Newspapers for your reading pleasure, or bring your own notebook while enjoying all that Café Medina has to offer.
