This cafe is by far one of my favourite hidden gems in the city. It has the most stunning views of downtown Ottawa, as well as delicious foods to snack on. With midterm season in full effect it is so incredibly hard to find a quiet place to study on campus.

Ottawa locals love to make the city sound like the most magical place on earth to make up for the 'government city' stereotype. To be completely honest I am guilty of doing this exact thing.
