We had a fantastic lunch! Everything came earlier than expected, especially considering how busy it was for mother's day! Our waitress, Stephanie, was incredibly sweet and attentive. I rarely write google reviews, but she was so wonderful that I had to say something!

Had a great experience at Symposium Cafe! Our server, Yesha, was absolutely fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. The food was delicious, especially the Eggs Benedict which were perfectly cooked with a rich hollandaise. I also tried the Teriyaki Rice Bowl—flavorful, fresh, and really satisfying. Definitely a place I’d come back to, especially with service like Yesha!

I really loved this place! The food was very good. Also, we had amazing service provided to us by Mayank. At the end, I got a free dessert. Thank you very much for making my birthday even happier!

We tried their Italian soda, iced coffee, and a chai latte. We had a piece of chocolate cake and cheesecake. Everything was so delicious!! The atmosphere was calming and relaxed which we really liked. The server, Sophie, and manager, Jax, working the floor were so kind and gave us great customer service!! Would definitely recommend!

Burgers were great, fires prefect. Friendly attentive staff. TVs could have better placement(s) the picture decor is very Christian. About $100 for dinner for the 2 of us. Enjoyed our visit.

Stephanie was a great server. Professional and always checked on us. The burger was homemade and excellent. The fries (and there were a lot of them) were delicious!! A must do Monday night. Highly recommended. Manager was also highly attentive

This is one gem of a spot! If you haven't visited yet, do so! A group of my friends and I visited on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere is mello and inviting, and the desserts and hot drinks are delicious! The 5 of us ate dinner elsewhere that evening, and went to the symposium for dessert, unfortunately the other restaurant was too loud and far too busy for us to communicate; we regretted that we didn't eat dinner AND dessert at the symposium... Next time! We had a lot of catching up to do and our waitress didn't make us feel rushed, and was very attentive. The owner even made his rounds to our table to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. This restaurant is kid friendly and wheelchair accessible. They have a liquor license and quaint bar. They also offer specials each day of the week. Sundays are buy one get one DESSERTS!! This is going to be our new "go to" coffee shop! I've added the menu and specials in my photos, have a peek! Cheers!

Symposium Cafe Restaurant Barrie offers a fantastic Sunday special for families: kids eat free! It's a great deal that allows families to enjoy a tasty meal together without breaking the bank. With a variety of delicious options on the menu, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it a perfect choice for a relaxed family outing.
