Worth a Trip to Carp. Alice's Village Cafe, Ottawa

Alice's Village Cafe, Ottawa

The fact that I have been here 3 times in the last 2 months says alot! I am hardly in town because of my work travel and when I am, I usually try to get out to new places because I miss out on so much being gone all the time. Well. Lately, I've just been wanting to visit Alice's Village Cafe in Carp.

Why? I love Alice's Village Cafe for 3 reasons.

1. Their coffee is AMAZE-balls!
2. Their food is DELICOUS. I leave this place, everytime, feeling really full but really good at the same time.
3. It's peaceful out in Carp. I kinda feel like I'm on a mini getaway because it's in the exact opposite direction as the city.

Alice's Village Cafe is modern yet cozy. It's a family-friendly restaurant so you will see people and kids of all ages here, which is nice. The owners and operators of Alice's, Dustin and Crystal Therrien, are also the same people that own and operate The Cheshire Cat in Carp (which has re-opened for business).

For those that love coffee, they have a coffee club where your 10th coffee is free. My favorite dish here hands down is the breakfast wrap, a warm tortilla filled with egg, cheese, avocado, bean, onions and pepper. On the side are homemade hash, fresh fruit, fresh salsa and sour cream. They will change this up little depending on their menu. The first time I had this, the bean used was black bean. The last time I had this, my wrap was filled with a sweet delicious maple baked bean mash which completely made me melt. Two completely different experiences with the same dish.

One thing they are known for is their famous "Big Nasty" cinnabon bun. If you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely recommended.

Get Your Daily Dose of Art and Coffee at Gallery Cafe, Sydney

Gallery Cafe, Sydney

There are countless places to have brekky in Sydney. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you want more of a local community grassroots feel with large portions, then Gallery Cafe is the way to go. What makes this space neat is the colorful artwork that infests the warehouse-like walls. The 2-level cafe can display over 80 pieces of art at any given time. You can spend as much time in an art gallery as you would at this cafe.

Their french toast with bacon & maple syrup is a good choice, with layers of sweet and salty sprinkled with a generous amount of icing sugar. Their chorizo dishes are also a great choice like their Spanish omelette topped with spicy tomato coulis or creamy chorizo scrambled eggs.
