  Renovated church with bench seating inside, patio tables outside. Order at counter, food brought to table, great fried chicken and poutin. Full size bathrooms, stairs at front door, ramp at patio door, street parking.

  Went for lunch on a rainy Tuesday. Pretty quiet inside, which I liked. I got the spicy miso noodle bowl and it was comforting in that warm, steady kind of way. Broth had depth, not just heat. The staff was mellow but not checked out. No real complaints, just wish it was closer to where I live.

  Smooth coffee. Wonderful scones and an atmosphere to blend into a nice warm morning. The ambience is wonderful and rustic. Comfortable seating all around.

  Operating out of a restored, historic church, the Riv Cafe felt very welcoming and spacious, with the scent of breakfast wafting out from the kitchen. The menu offers familiar dishes with a twist: a surprisingly good bagel & lox, made like a dainty sandwich, huevos with black beans, a stacked breakfast burrito, an egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich on choice of breads (French bread for me), lunchtime sammies, berry smoothies and intoxicating coffee, and more. Make it here before noon and you get Benedict. Loved the stained glass windows up front, white everywhere, and pews for seats. They keep it cold during the summer. Might wanna bring a jacket. I also appreciate that they responded to inquiries on Instagram right away. Yes, they serve breakfast until 2 pm closing, except the bennies.
