I have been going to Cafe Vero for years and years! I appreciated Amanda who ran it in the past, with awesome yummy homemade donuts and Emma running it now, with a smile on her face and fantastic customer service. I love the fact that it is local and a pleasant atmosphere. We are lucky to have Cafe Vero in our neighbourhood. I refuse to go to chain beverage establishments and this is right up my alley! Long live local business!

I often stop by cafe vero while waiting to have my prescription filled. The owner is such a nice woman, and the vibe is always warm and homey. Like you’re going to a friends for brunch! The food, coffee, and danishes are always fresh and delicious. But the real treat is the friendly and welcoming conversation. Thanks for making my pharmacy trips nicer and keep up the awesome business. :)

Coffee and tea drinks are great, but my favourite menu item are the home-made doughnuts (flavours change depending on ingredient availability or season). Rotating lunch items are also tasty. You may have to wait a bit during busy times, as there are only one or two staff, but the food and beverages are worth waiting for.

The donuts and baked goods are delicious. The latte’s are smooth, love parallel 49 coffee. The donut flavours are all delicious and flavour pairings are too good to pass up! I haven’t tried one that I didn’t like.
