Went here for lunch. Ordered before a larger crowd did. One friend of mine found a large chunk of plastic in her meal. They made her a new one but didn’t provide any other compensation. My meal was fine, nothing great. Our third person didn’t get her meal until 40 minutes after ordering cause they gave it to a different table but didn’t notice. We were all nauseous from the plastic incident anyway. Honestly bad all around, no clue how the reviews are so good.

Good food, reasonable prices, with interesting and delicious food specials, and great all day breakfast options. The staff always seems happy and is very friendly. And best of all I've found when I order something that they happen to be out of, I'll have to change my order but they will try to include some sort of bonus to my meal (free desert, drink, or larger portion) to make up for it, which is awesome and kinda makes me feel lucky that they didn't have my original order rather than feeling let down.

This is the best breakfast in downtown Winnipeg (exchange district!). We came to winnipeg for 10 days for work and ate here almost everyday. The food and coffee are delicious- especially the standard breakfast! The service is fast and exceptional, prices are more than fair, and the portions are huge. Seriously- a breakfast plate will fill you until dinner time. Will definitely be back whenever I’m in winnipeg. The family that owns this small local business is fantastic. Highly recommend.

I live out of town but I come here every time I am in town. Great food .I specifically come here for their breakfast. I've also had their udon and ramen and both are very good. You walk in and order your food at the counter from a large chalkboard. You then pay ( debit credit, cash applepay). You then get your food served by very friendly staff. A little gem inside a great area of town.

I went with a group of friends to their First Friday event evening. A monthly community event that starts at the cafe, with a supper, usually very nice, and a talk about some currently interesting topic. After dinner a guide will take you around the district and visit several studios and galleries that stay open especially for this event. I've been to several over the last 2 or 3 years and they gave always been worth the effort.

Amazing place! Did not expect it to be so adorable.) The prices are pretty small and the food is delicious. Probably the only one place in Winnipeg with so tasty home-made lemonade I have ever been to. And soups are super tasty and super big.)

Central and convenient location. The food is always freshly made and delicious. Buy what sets this place apart for me, is the level of customer service. The owners and workers are very kind and thoughtful, and accommodating to families with young children. The perfect place to stop off at, while you're exploring the Exchange! Be sure to try their fresh ginger lemonade!

The breakfast came with a salad and the pancakes were lovely and came with tons of fruit. Wish they had extended hours for the fringe. Just a good spot for breakfast

Classic Breakfast, Buttermilk Pancake

I worked there and it was horrible. Indeed it was about 5 years ago but the owner and head chef rinsed a hard oiled egg in water that had raw chicken thawing, and hashbrowns(even for vegetarian orders), w er re cooked on the same parchment as bacon. I dont know if the owner remembers me, but I never showed up for more than 1 shift, the kitchen was also filthy.

This is a lovely place down in the Exchange (must see area if you’re in Winnipeg). The waitress is so kind and friendly, and the food was delicious. Quite, peaceful music playing, friendly people coming in and out to get their regulars. Just a wonderful breakfast spot I would definitely come back to on my next visit to Winnipeg! Thanks for the great meal!

Stumbled upon this place and what a nice surprise it was. The menu is fantastic, I tried their pumpkin quesadilla special and it came out quickly, fresh and absolutely delicious. Excellent friendly service, a real wpg gem.

Classic Breakfast

Well worth going to this great restaurant. My buttermilk pancake breakfast was amazing. Very delicious. I would recommend. On the other hand my wife didn't really care for her veggi frittata . Maybe someone who is vegan might like it, but just a caution.

Food was disgusting. Soggy, overcooked eggs, packed with a dressed salad in the same paper container. Ordered the classic breakfast with poached eggs, got soggy cold toast, and fully cooked microwaved eggs, also ice cold. Whole meal was inedible.

Great location, in the heart of the Exchange District. You will often come in and be treated to a live broadcast interview with a local celebrity! My favorite order is the pulled pork sandwich with the potato salad side. Seating is available outdoors during the summer months, which is perfect for some of the outdoor festivals!

Had the free press burger for lunch the other day while clearing snow bit the bullet on the price tag but so glad I did probably top three burgers I've ever had amazing amazing Burger potato salad had a decent flavour to it Dijon I think but the potatoes were a bit hard will definitely return

I love this place. A friend and I found it on our first trip to Winnipeg. The cafe is causal and the owners and staff provide incredible service. Prices are reasonable for a great breakfast. Highly recommend.

Often drop in for lunch because of the awesome friendly service. She always remembers what my bf and I normally order and always had a smile on her face when she sees us. I’m so glad they’ve survived the pandemic so far and hope to continue eating here weekly as things return to normal.

Delicious food and drink options, I am never disappointed!

This hidden gem, our friendly neighbour, Winnipeg Free Press News Cafe has a wonderful ambiance and fantastic food right at the heart of the Exchange. Don't just take our word for it, try it out yourself they have everything from sweet to savoury. …

I highly recommend this place if you want a good coffee and breakfast/lunch for reasonable price. Everything tastes like housemade; I will always remember their amazing bulgogi empanadas, so delicious ! The staff is also super friendly.

Really nice awesome place, nice service good food, and hard working women does the most. Thank you for the good service

I had the Chroizo Sausage and Egg, and it was perfect. What's more, the price was just right for the quality of food. I'd prefer being served at my table rather than purchase at the counter, but oh well. I will return.

Great food and value for money. Don't let the decor fool you. This place is a gem

Don't let the mediocre baked goods on the counter turn you off. Since we lost Underground Cafe this is where you can get a breakfast sammich, as well as some rather delicious spicy ramen for lunch.

Dave and I go regularly for Saturday breakfast and do the NYT crossword. The service is always super friendly and the breakfast menu is great! Good portions and always more coffee. Thankyou!!

Really good lunch food! The ramen noodles are great and the staff are very warm and friendly. A little pricey considering the quality and variety of competition in the area though.

$13 (after tax) for a double-patty avocado teriyaki burger! They were even kind enough to do a free switch of the cheese for mushrooms. Sadly the wifi didn’t work on the patio.

Get their Japanese dishes, the sandwiches are great too, but the real hidden gems are the Yakisoba and similar dishes. Polite and friendly staff and it's not crazy expensive

If you want interesting events with your coffee, this is the place to be. Lots on news worthy people and events pop in here. Decent menu, good pricing, and great location.

Great place for a fast and tasty lunch. The sandwiches are awesome. The ladies that work here are always so friendly and kind. Highly reccomend checking this place out!

Good selection of teas and coffees. They also sell some food as well. Place was clean, staff friendly, lots of large windows to watch the streets outside. Neat place!

Never disappointed with the friendly Saturday staff, the Classic Breakfast and Manitoba Club. Reasonable price. There is usually an assortment of the week's papers.

Very nice place with amazing service. One of the best pulled pork ever had. Little gem caffe in Winnipeg.

Nothing was happening when we were there but the food was good. I had the Chipotle chicken sandwich with potato salad, Delicious! Would definitely go back!

Internet didn’t work, washrooms were smelly, coffee was expensive and average, parking very expensive. Staff was good though. I wouldn’t recommend.

It's a great location, and hosts a lot of interesting events. The food is good but nothing special. I go for the events, not the cafe itself.

Always a good lunch spot with friendly service. A little chilly on the cold days.
