Seriously a 5 ⭐️😋 I work undercover for major corporate franchises to ensure the business is properly managed and customer service and quality of product and procedures are adhered to at high standards and for me to give a 5 star, is almost unheard of,...and yet…5 it is 👍🏼 The soup was homemade (split pea soup), not watery but rather nice and thick with fresh crunchy celery & carrots. Typically restaurants use up older and less fresh produce for their soups- not here, there was still the freshness and crispness even after simmering in a pot all day. Thank you for using fresh produce 🙏🏼 Secondly, my tuna on multigrain was extremely fresh and creative. I have never even thought of making a tuna salad sandwich with fresh greens and slices of ripe tomatoes! The layers of textures and flavours married perfectly together 😍So much so, that I will “always” make my tuna salad sandwich at home this way from now on.❤️I also ordered a mocha with almond milk and coconut whip cream. It carried a true high-end cafe flavour.☕️ I not only enjoyed my lunch but I also came home with extra treats for my family. Cranberry macaroons that are airy like meringue, oatmeal cranberry cookies, peanut butter marshmallow square and gluten-free seed bread…all moist, soft chewy and flavourful. Portions were generous. 💕 If I had to be critical on anything, it would not be the food but rather the hours of operation. I had to wait till 10 am before they opened and apparently the cashier told me they close at 4 😳 I can’t imagine operating a cafe and missing out on rush hour customers on their way into work or the evening girls night outs, guys grabbing a coffee or date nights. Such a missed opportunity of significant income in my opinion as a past business owner myself. I hope this choice does not force them to close their doors permanently.😬 As for the physical store, the floors were clean, tables were available and clean -no dirty dishes waiting to be cleared, displays were tidy and items properly refrigerated. I was asked to show proof of vaccines and ID, seeing that I was eating in. Service was extremely friendly and prompt. It will always be my go-to-place when passing through North Bay. Why would I ever want less than this 5 star establishment 😁🤷🏻‍♀️❤️ Fabulous job guys! Just wonderful!!! 😍🙏🏼More

This lovely cafe is a family favourite. The MOST delicious brownies and lemon squares. The owner (Michelle) has the best recommendations and fast, friendly service. The interior of the cafe has retained its quaint and historic charm. If you like fresh, delicious food and irresistible...treats this place is a must visit.More

I am visiting North Bay and staying right across from this incredible cafe. I eat here daily. The sandwiches are fresh, hugh, and so Yummy. I have tried the potato salad and chick pea salad - excellent! The desserts are 😋. delicious. Michelle thank you...for this wonderful experience. CindyMore

I've sampled a few of the soups in the last couple of weeks. Always a unique experience and very tasty! I had the chili with cornbread and it was yummy! On another recent visit I had the Mexican Black Bean soup! Loved it! Will definitely...be going back!More

What a fantastic place to have a great meal. You can go very healthy or indulge in the wonderful baked goods. There are so many good options such as soup and a scone. Three of us had the special of the day-just getting the last...of the cream and soup that went with the creative turkey wrap surrounded in cranberry mayonaise, nuts, apples and two cheeses one of which was brie. I had the Opera Chicken Wrap. Fresh nuts, sprouts, cranberries, apples and many other wonderful tidbits danced around our chicken sandwiches. There was also a wonderful cranberry and pear salad. It was nice to see actual baked goods at a bakery that go beyond cake pops and cupcakes as so many do now. There are specials of the day and many intriguing squares to choose from. We shared many! The speciality coffees were also warm and flavourful. What a gem!More

My daughter and I stumbled upon this little cafe when we were shopping down town. We'd never heard of it before. We were pleasantly surprised and wondered if we were still in North Bay. It is small and has a great cute atmosphere. Tables are...close together and the menu is unique and has specialties. We had wraps which were really good. We went back another day and had some chai tea and desserts. Though I wasn't too keen on mine, my daughter loved her tart. I would highly recommend it to any locals who were not aware this cafe existed, and to those from out of town who enjoy quaint little cafes.More

I honestly cannot rave about this place enough. I come to north bay quarterly and this is my first stop. I look forward to my north bay visits just to go to this cafe. Their lemon square is delightful so is the brownie! The coffee...is amazing! I could go on and on....More

Dropped by for a light breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our choices. Americano was excellent and the cheese scones provided a lovely accompaniment. Friendly service topped it off. Worth a stop when exploring Main Street, North Bay

A friend of mine brought me to the coffee shop and I loved the Interior inside as it was previously an old jewlery store, they still use the displays on the wall. They have a simple menu, and the macaroons are great! Definitely worth checking...out!More

We have been to the Opera Bakery Cafe many times. Each time is a delight. It's a great place for a soup and sandwich combination. Every soup that I have tried and every sandwich has been imaginative and supremely tasty. The decor is interesting, too....A pleasant place to enjoy your lunch!More

Had a delicious raspberry scone and vanilla latte in this beautiful little cafe. Original flooring and wood accents give this place so much charm. Friendly staff and great tastes. Highly recommend if you’re strolling through downtown North Bay!!

This is a wonderful little bakery! Everything is delicious, the staff are warm and attentive. Best lemon squares ever.
