Dawn To Dusk Cafe

Dawn To Dusk Café is located in a mostly empty strip mall just off McCallum Road. I happened to be in the area with my grandmother for an appointment.
It was about 10:00am and my grandmother hadn’t had breakfast yet. I decided that we should grab a bite to eat. My first instinct was to go to the bakery next door to grab a bite as there seemed to be other customers there, but my grandmother wanted to sit down and eat.
We were the only customers in the restaurant. The restaurant itself was a little grimy; the tables needed a good wipe down. In my opinion, if there aren’t any customers, the staff should be tidying up the place. The menu is a mish-​mash of greasy spoon diner grub, pizza, and Indian food. I guess they need a new menu because some items were crossed out and others were handwritten in marker.
We both ended up getting grilled cheese sandwiches and bottled water (apparently they don’t do tap water); I also got an order of fries. The total was about $ 13. After the lady took our order, she disappeared into the kitchen. I guess she was the only one working at the time. Fifteen minutes later, she came out of the kitchen with our sandwiches and my fries. She asked me if I wanted ketchup. I said yes. She grabbed a bottle from another table and plopped it in front of me. Part of the cap was missing and the top was gunked up with dried ketchup… I decided to pass on the ketchup after all.
The grilled cheese was meh; it was similar to what I used to make for myself as a kid. Regular sliced bread and cheddar cheese (I guess I should be grateful that it wasn’t Kraft singles). It definitely wasn’t worth the price we paid.
While we were there, two other customers came in for slices of pizza; I guess that’s this restaurant’s bread and butter. One customer asked for hot sauce or red pepper flakes and the man behind the counter pointed to a table at the other end of the restaurant and told her that she could get some over there. Not what I’d call good customer service.
There is also a room at the back available for private parties, but I’m honestly not sure why anyone would choose this place as a venue.
For those of you who thought «tl;dr» when you saw my review:
The verdict on Dawn to Dusk Café — «Tcha, ya know what? Uh uh!» (

Terrible owners, terrible food and terrible service. A very miserable experience.
