  I love this place! Its right down the street from my work. I used to go there several times a week but I've been a good girl packing my lunch lately.
  Chicken skewer place is amazing. Greek salad with tons of feta on it, rice and 2 chicken skewers.
  Burger is so moist and flavourful, fries are also great.
  Chicken shwarama isn't a classic shwarama plate but still great. It comes with quarter pita, hummus, greek salad, rice, and chicken. The chicken has a great seasoning on it.
  That's all I've had so far but they also have a reasonably priced breakfast.

  Tried here for a couple of Saturday morning breakfasts by myself over the summer around 9am or so...it can be hard to get street parking so usually requires a couple of drives around the block, so unless you live nearby, I'd recommend earlier than later in the morning.  The cafe wasn't busy either of my visits though.  There are a handful of tables, and it's very basic, where you order at the counter and they will bring to your table, you pour your own coffee, etc.  Very friendly staff/management, who I assume run it, a man one visit, a woman the next.  I tried the veggie omelet (5.49 I think?) one time, which was standard, and the second time, their breakfast of two eggs, bacon, toast & home fries (5.75).  The home fries are seasoned and delicious.  The prices are dirt cheap as you can see, so I'd like to come back to try their lunch someday.

  First off, I was a huge fan of their's  when they were a part of Scotia Square's food court, sadly they were not included with the revamp update  there. They had these wonderful meat pockets and their fries, had them whenever possible had a huge line as well.
  When they left, the food court lost something. I thought they were gone for good, but later on, I found they had opened a cafe on Hollis st. Sadly the hot pocket is gone, but everything else is the same but in a quiet cafe setting, other than the occasional big truck rumbling by. I love their steak sub, a good basic tasty sub and their home fries, the breakfast prices are reasonable, in fact all the menu are well priced. I just wish the pockets were back.

  PG café, why are you so good?!
  I've gotten my lunch, take-out, here two days in a row and I don't regret a single bite!
  
  My go-to here is the chicken skewer plate: 2 chicken skewers, rice and a Greek salad with a side of tzatziki for under $10 - yes please!
  
  The chicken is so moist and flavourful and they have the best rice ever!

  I was very excited to try this place after reading all the positive Yelp reviews. However, I must say that I was a little let down. Inside isn't anything fancy in terms of decor. It's similar to a fast food joint- you order at the counter and bring food back to your table and pay when you leave.
  
  Coffee is self serve. Java Blend I believe? It was delicious! Food took about 5 minutes. I ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich meal. Honestly, it was pretty lack lustre. The bagel was tough and under-toasted making it difficult the eat. I hate to criticize the bagels too, because a previous Yelp review on this business indicates they get their bagels from a local supplier- which I love to support! Home fries were not served with my sandwich. I was told I had to request them, despite my pointing to the menu item precisely indicating meal. When I did receive home fries they tasted like they had been sprinkled with sand. Quite bizarre.
  
  With the exception of the weird ordering experience service was satisfactory. Mid-meal when I went to the cash to grab and orange juice, it took some time before I could grab someone's attention.
  
  Lastly, after leaving, our party of 6 noticed that the bills were not reflective of the prices on the menu. They were slightly more expensive. Still cheap and reasonably priced, but odd.
  
  Overall, the space could use a "spruce-up." Food could be improved on a few fronts. Perhaps there could be a third staff member on, the menu prices need to be adjusted (that just doesn't seem like affair business practise). However prices were so reasonable and that is what garnered so many stars for my review.
  
  Overall, I'd recommend it if you're looking for a low-key cheap place. And based on the coffee and prices alone, I'd probably re-visit.
