Come have a comfy, casual, weekend breakfast with us.

Our bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich is a great way to fuel up in the morning with something warm, filling, and comforting. Plus a touch of black pepper and slightly sweet shallot mayo perfectly compliment the slaty bacon and creamy cheese.

Pair with one of our signature teas or a coffee for your morning caffeine boost and spice things up with some complimentary hot sauce from our condiments section (if you love spice, siracha brings our breakfast sandwich to the next level).

Doors at 8:30, Show at 9 PM

This edition is featuring Malia Rodger and Woods of Light (Hosted by Matt Gower)

Friday Night Folk is a bi-monthly concert series at Art House Cafe. On the first Friday of every other month Art House Cafe will feature two folk acts, hosted by local singer-songwriter Matt Gower.
Sponsored by CKCU fm.

About the Perfomers:
Nova Scotia raised, Ottawa-based singer-songwriter Malia Rogers has a clear musical mission: be the first in the room to drop her shield, and in doing so, move others to lower their own. With sonic references ranging from Feist and Aoife O'Donovan to Dan Mangan and Noah Kahan, Malia's conversational folk offerings carefully balance melancholy and hope – transforming rooms of strangers into rooms of kin with precise lyricism, warmed-honey vocals, fingerstyle guitar and clawhammer banjo.

Woods of Light is the indie-folk solo project of Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian Gunther. Operating from his home studio, Ravenwood, in Val-des-Monts, Quebec, he single-handedly writes, records, and mixes his music.of.light

About the Host:
Matt Gower is a Hard Folk singer-songwriter from Ottawa, Ontario. Over the years, Matt has embodied the folk tradition by blending an array of styles into his music. Elements of alt-country, old-time Appalachian tunes, bluegrass & roots-rock underscore a powerful voice that's vulnerable, honest & dynamic. The truth, technique & talent he's come to embrace are all hard-earned.
Currently Matt Gower is the host and curator of CKCU Presents Friday Night Folk, a bi-monthly concert series at Art House Cafe which features a diverse range of folk musicians. Matt also hosts the Hard Folk Podcast shining a light on the working artists making an impact on the Ottawa Music Scene...

Has anyone else seen that some of the leaves have already started to change? It feels like fall is knocking on the door... which means warm chai latte season is just around the corner.

Warm, creamy, spicy, and comforting. A chai latte with a nice layer of foam and a dusting of cinnamon feels like a warm hug, perfect for cooler weather.

In the meantime though, while the days are still hot and sunny, you can still get our chai blend as an iced latte (or with a shot of espresso for a fabulous dirty chai)
