The Shed Cafe - Willowdale

I have been coming to this cafe once a week for ages. The coffee and food are great, but the service is unbelievably inconsistent. Some weeks I walk away feeling lucky to have such a great place to go to, while other weeks I swear I won’t come back. I always order the same thing, and I only get quoted the same price about half the time. When I point out the usual price (and I do try to be polite when I do that), half of those times I am met with angry rudeness. This last week was one of those moments which is why I feel compelled to write. I almost cried the woman behind the counter was so rude to me about it! It seems like maybe the counter staff turnover is high, so maybe that’s the reason? If you can learn to just deal with some days getting a warm smile and others an angry sneer, well then you should be fine here. Like I said, the coffee and food are good.

Ordered 2 coffees for table service but due to a mix up they where left at the counter. When I approached they where super apologetic and quickly gave us a refund and made 2 fresh coffees for us Great responce and the coffee was great New to the area and just found my local coffee fix Thanks

I visited this café recently and unfortunately the service was quite disappointing. When I was placing my order at the counter, I kindly asked one of the staff if someone could help me grab a high chair. I had a baby in one arm and an active 3-year-old with me, so it was difficult to get it myself. Instead of helping, the staff member told me to go and get it on my own. I understand cafés can get busy, but a little empathy and assistance would have made a big difference. It really affected the overall experience

Absolutely disgusting food, spent over $100 on uber eats, bacon is giving plastic texture food was cold, eggs benny and big breakfast weren’t as described didn’t get eggs benny on a bagel bloody shocking won’t order from here ever again. Need to learn how to make a poached egg what I got was a fully boiled disaster

I absolutely love this cafe! The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The coffee is great, and I can always count on a delicious cup to start my day. What really stands out, though, is their incredible selection of gluten-free sweets. They are baked fresh daily by the owner, which adds such a personal touch to the place. I had to go gluten-free about six months ago, and not being able to enjoy pastries and sweets like I used to was such a bummer. But this place has completely changed that for me. I recently tried the strawberry and cinnamon muffin, and I can honestly say it was the best muffin I’ve had in years! So flavorful and perfectly baked. My husband agrees, the other sweets and meal options are fantastic as well! Thank you for making my gluten-free journey so much sweeter! Highly recommend this spot to anyone, gluten-free or not!
