The building that Cafe D'Marie calls home was built in 1865, and it's stood the test of time as it went from home to cafe.

That attention to detail and care in everything it does makes its way into the interior decor...

As well as into the food served here. Head to the counter and browse all the exciting fare on the menu each day.

For those looking for something light, the salads here are bursting with freshness and have enough add-ons to make a meal.

The sandwiches range from light, plant-based offerings to rich, indulgent melts big enough to give you energy for the day.

If the cafe has a signature item, it's probably the quiche, which is perfectly eggy and available in several flavors.

For dessert. you can stick with the light stuff, with a dessert based around delicious fresh berries...
