Cute little cafe!
Clean and tidy!
The staff here are so friendly and kind. Exceptional food and drink! They put a lot of heart into making and presenting their cabinet food. The custard square is the perfect sweetness for me.
Parking was easy!
Will definitely be back!

Family business i like to support as often as I can even I'm not local. Top marks for food quality and service. Coffee's great. So nice to find a place that uses quality ingredients. Love the German recipes ... deep apple pie, hummingbird cake, chicken and leek pie .... all delicious. Nice wee rack by the door of baked goods to buy. Good parking.

Once again I had a delicious meal at the Opawa Café (third time in about a month). I had the creamy goat cheese dish with sourdough and avocado mash again (about $22), plus a hot chocolate and a slice of the German quark cake (I forget the name). I love the fact that they make all their own cakes and slices here, unlike a lot of other cafés, and the selection includes the quark cake and a superb custard square (I took one home to have the next day, nom nom). Quark is a type of fresh cheese that we don't really get into here, which you see a lot in Europe. The cake is kind of a cross between a yoghurt cake and a cheesecake. It's delicately flavored and a decent size for $7.50. My sister also enjoyed her mushroom and bacon filo with salad for about $18 - $20. The café itself is a bit plain; it could do with some jazzing up. I do like how the menu items are displayed on the wall in picture frames, and it's good to have the choice of a sunny outdoor table. Opawa Café is flat and at ground level, with a wheelchair-friendly entrance and toilet. Staff are nice and prices are reasonable, so get thee there!

Absolutely excellent food at good prices!
The inside of the cafe is not super cute but it's worth it.
