About
The Cottage Cafe
Welcome to The Cottage Cafe, a charming culinary gem nestled along the picturesque River Road in Grand Bend, Ontario. This cozy cafe is not just a spot to grab a meal; it's a delightful experience that combines exceptional food with a breathtaking view of the marina. As I approached the cafe, the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods wafted through the air, instantly drawing me in.
The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff here are known for their welcoming smiles and attentive service, making your dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're here for a quick breakfast or a leisurely lunch, you will feel right at home.
The breakfast menu at The Cottage Cafe is nothing short of amazing. I couldn't resist trying the Breakfast Burrito and was thoroughly impressed. Each bite was packed with flavor and freshness. For those craving something sweet, the Berry Bowl and Yogurt Parfait are refreshing options. Not to mention, their Famous Fresh Cinnamon Bun, priced at a mere CA$3.75, is an absolute highlight. Patrons rave about its airy texture and delightful sweetness, making it a must-try for any visitor.
As I settled into one of the outdoor seating areas, I felt that the ambiance genuinely enhanced my meal. Watching boats glide by while enjoying a freshly baked Croissant—crunchy on the outside, soft and melty on the inside—added a layer of serenity to my experience. It’s clear from numerous glowing reviews that this cafe has struck a chord with its guests, many of whom return eagerly for another taste.
The Cottage Cafe isn't just about the food; it's about creating moments.

Whether it's enjoying coffee and croissants on their balcony or indulging in their delectable baked goods, each moment here is crafted with love and care. You won't regret it!

“ Ok, this place is such a gem and definitely try to be there early as the lines grows - but worth the wait! I had a freshly baked croissant and wow was it airy, with a bit of crunch and melt in my mouth amazing! The staff is always smiling and very welcoming. Once you place your order you make your way outside (2 levels to choose from) and sit in front of the marina and watch boats go by. The food and service here are something to defiantly visit. Thank you staff! ”
“ Great service, great food. I would recommend taking the famous cinnamon buns home and microwaving them. They tasted incredible after I did that. This place has very nice seating area as well ”
“ Visited the cafe as we were in Grand Bend for Thanksgiving. Beautiful location, friendly staff and the coffee , tea and croissants were perfect. Thought it would be a quick visit but an hour later we were sitting on the balcony on the second floor soaking in the views. Will be back each time I'm in Grand Bend. They will be done for the season on October 30th so if you're in the area, go now! The place reopens in April I believe. ”

“ This place is the cutest. In addition to their beautiful outdoor patio that overlooks the water, they also just had damn good coffee. I had turnover and a seasonal fall apple latte and it was the best latte I've ever had. Not too sweet, tasted like coffee with a hint of apple. I also purchased peach habernaro salsa and spicy bomba pickles from their little shop and I'm so excited to try them out. This is a must-try. ”
