“Good food, generous plates and the kind of welcome that keeps people coming back.”
A real neighbourhood café

Made the way a local café should.

Tina’s is the kind of compact, familiar breakfast-and-lunch spot where coffee stays full, portions cover the plate and the room has its own personality. The cooking is rooted in satisfying American diner favourites, from fresh hash browns and biscuits with gravy to omelettes, pancakes, burgers and rolls.

Racing memorabilia gives the café its unmistakable character, but the food remains the main attraction. Come for a hearty breakfast, settle in at the counter and leave with a cinnamon roll for later.
