My wife had the curry chicken sandwich, I had the roast beef with horseradish aioli and each a drink. $25, and the sandwiches were massive and made on warm in house made focaccia bread. Best effin sandwiches we've ever had!!!! The staff were super warm and welcoming. Worth the trip in whether you're next door or in another province. Stop reading and go in. NOW!!!

Great all around, food, portions, staff, and a great charity! New Leafe Café is affiliated with Easter Seals so the proceeds go to charity and because it's a registered charity, you're not charged tax on your food. You save 15%, support a charitable organization and, have a great lunch! Check their FB page for the weekly special.
