LAZY TULIP CAFE REVIEWS
Located in the MacLaren Arts Centre, the Lazy Tulip initially looks like a typical pick up your coffee spot with some baked goods…but a few steps up in the main greeting hall is a full sit down serviced restaurant. The options include sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups and a nice brunch selection, as well as the aforementioned baked goods. Although a bit too spacious, the seating area was very nice and surprisingly quiet (given its size). Additionally, there is an enclosed outdoor patio for those looking to enjoy the fresh air. For our brunch, we ordered the daily soup (sweet potato was very good), Raisin Bread Pudding French Toast (a small portion but excellent taste!), Scrambled Tofu (very good), Huevos Tulip (also very good) and, for baked goods, the Hello Dolly (excellent but very sweet) and Apple Carrot Muffin (also excellent). Looking closely at the menu, you can tell that there are a number of vegan options as well. Service was very friendly and inviting and overall it was a very good experience. Enjoy!
I want to give a shout out to this beautiful hidden gem! The coffee is delicious! I'd like to thank Michael for his wonderful customer service he made me an amazing latte the first time I went there. He is so kind and welcoming.Also the wonderful lady that made my beverage today made it so beautifully, (I'm sorry I didn't get your name) , this is my second time coming to this Cafe. You have a regular customer coming back :).
A perfect little oasis in downtown Barrie. The Canadiano coffee had a nice hint of maple and the breakfast sandwich was fresh and delicious.

WILLIAMS FRESH CAFE REVIEWS
The food is amazing, this is the best place in Barrie. Everything is so perfect that it's hard to believe, but it's true. The food is insanely beautiful and delicious, and the staff is friendly. I love this place.
I had the caramel oat milk latte. It was delicious and huge which I loved! The atmosphere was nice with the couch area and pencil crayons if you have kids or you’re an adult that likes to draw and colour. The cashier was knowledgeable and the server was kind too. All around great experience!
Great cozy spot ! Food was very delicious and the staff we're very friendly ! Open later than most cafes in the area !

SYMPOSIUM CAFE RESTAURANT & LOUNGE REVIEWS
Food is amazing and staff are super friendly. Prompt and courteous service, large menu selection (something for everyone) and delicious breakfast/lunch options (we have not tried the dinner menu as of yet). The owner is a delight and very involved with customers and staff alike. My Dad and I discovered this special spot when my Mum was ill. After Mum passed, my Dad and I make this spot our "go-to" place for breakfast and lunch dates. Julie....thank you for the kindness shown to both my Dad and myself.
You know you’re in for good food from the moment you pull up to Symposium. We’ve only had breakfast here and it’s a winner every time! A delicious tea selection plus more than 1 jam per person #winningattitude.
This is an amazing place to kick back for a couple of hours after a hard day at work or just to relax with a a few friends. The live music was phenomenal. The meal I had was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff very friendly and make you feel very welcomed. Definitely will be back to enjoy the beautiful patio.
