Serves meat, vegan options available. Created by two moms and is a family-run operation, this cafe switched back and forth from veg to non-veg and is reported non-veg again as of Oct 2016. Offers vegan baked goods that are mostly gluten-free, and a menu with items like tofu scramble with split beans or potatoes. Open Mon-Fri 8:00am-4:00pm, Sat-Sun 9:00am-5:00pm.

Very enjoyable brunch - Edit
My friend and I had a wonderful brunch. Even though she was not vegan she chose a vegan option and she was amazed how tasty it was!
The price was very decent as well.
Pros: Many vegan options, Decent prices
Cons: Close too early, Not all vegan

Incredible vegan options! - Edit
While I try to go to fully vegetarian/vegan places when I can, I'm so happy I tried this little place out. The owner makes his own veggie sausages which are out of this world! The breakfast burritos are delicious and served with vegan sour cream and salsa. The tofu scramble is significantly more flavourful than most scrambles I've tried in other restaurants. I've heard they will soon be open for dinner as well! Also a quiet and classy atmosphere. I'm surprised to read that someone has had an issue with the owner, he's always been very polite and friendly to my husband and I when we visit.
Pros: Delicious vegan options, Very quiet and relaxed, Friendly service

Horrible Atmosphere - Edit
I really enjoy the food here BUT holy cow is the owner unpleasant!. Perfect example of a very unhappy person transmitting their negative energy onto it's customers. He's so unpleasant that I have decided to stop taking people here and recommending it... The man is obviously so miserable with his life. He rolls his eyes when you order, he's rude to customers who don't follow his strict seating rules, never smiles, huffs and puffs if you ask him to do his job and take extra request...Get a grip pal!, you're in the service industry you serves people food, it's supposed to be a pleasant experience. If you read this I hope you learn to start your days with some gratitude and appreciate repeat customers...Or at least Fake it.

Best tofu scramble I've eaten! :D - Edit
Amazing tofu scramble from this place! Just remember to ask to make it vegan if you are, otherwise they will probably serve it with a split english muffin with butter. They will switch it with vegan toast and they have earth balance (vegan butter). Some other vegan add-ons such as the sausage which was pretty good and the vegan baked goods are okay). Big portions for a cheap price!
Very nice, friendly, family-run service. Highly recommended to vegetarians and non veggie people for breakfast and brunch :)
Hopefully, there will be more vegan options in the future.
Pros: Excellent Tofu Scramble, Great value!, Lovely staff
Cons: Not too many vegan options

Best Value in the City! - Edit
What more could you ask for??
Great breakfast menu on until the afternoon.
Super cheap lunchtime eats.
Play area for the kids to hang out.
Live music and great entertainment at night.
It is a self-service kind of place, where you order at the counter and (hopefully) clean off your table when your done. It really feels like a great community place.
Pros: Cheap Food, Local Beers, Live Music

"Eggs in the Hole" - Edit
I picked Cafe Du Soleil (C.D.S.) for breakfast. This was cute typical veg place (of all the ones I visit) as far as the ambiance. I really liked the service and they had a lot of menu items to choose from.
I was feeling pretty regular so I orderded the eggs in the hole breakfast with toast and potato's. When my food arrived I had forgotten that I ordered eggs and didn't see them on the plate, but upon looking closer the eggs where inside of the middle of the bread sunnyside up. I had never seen this before. It was delicous and very unique...goes to show, not every place is as it seems. The rest of the food was also very tasty.
Kudos to C.D.S., this is another fabulous place I will go back to visit.
Again with the warm water...hmmm lol
Pros: Location, Service, Food
Cons: Warm water :-)
