What customers say?

“ Just chose this place for a brunch in Stratford, and it was a perfect one. We were very welcomed from the staff who was really friendly. He explained us what kind of sandwiches they have and answered all our questions in a friendly manner. The cafe itself is super cute and lovely, and the atmosphere is very cozy. The sandwiches were very tasty and the drinks as well. Would recommend to my friends. ”

“ This is a hidden secret in Stratford, but well worth the hunt. Tucked in the lower level of a restored building with lots of windows and natural light. The architectural contrast of old and new is very chic. Very tasty sour dough sandwiches. ”

“ BRCH & WYN is my favourite daytime spot in Stratford. The coffee is consistently excellent, and their sandwiches are fresh, flavourful, and always made with care. Johnny and the staff make the experience even better — warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in creating a great atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality coffee, great food, and outstanding service. ”

“ Visited Brch and Wyn a few months ago right before seeing a play at the festival theatre. Ordered a latte and a bltc. The sandwich was good however I was given a Cubano instead. I didn’t realize before I left that I had the wrong sandwich otherwise I would have gotten it corrected. The latte was good! The overall atmosphere of the cafe and the colours were quite nice. ”

“ Stopped in for an espresso and a dolce... nit much selection fir sweets (it was late afternoon, so...). Espresso was pretty decent. Nice atmosphere, but there was a couple with a dog there... not a service dog,, just some random little "stroller dog"... which bugs me because food/drink I'd served there, inside... it's not like we were on a patio... ”

“ We spent the day in Stratford and I’m so glad we decided to have brunch at Brch & Wyn. We got flat whites, chicken sandwiches, a couple of baked goods and hot chocolate. Coffee was excellent, food was finger licking good and atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We will be back soon ”

“ The best hidden treasure for a delightful brunch. Our server brought great energy to start our day and we even spotted several of the stars from last night’s “Dangerous Liasons” enjoying the space food & beverages too. ”

“ Honestly one of the best cafe experiences that I've ever had in a while. The location is quaint but deceptively big. Lots of comfortable seating and large tables to work on and have group meet ups. The board games set aside does indicate a very comfortable location for noise but when I was there, the music was ambient but still not too loud that you can have a conversation with someone. The decor is cutesy but I do love the pieces of equipment at the front. It would be cool to see some more local artwork from Stratford, especially with some Shakespearean influences. The barista was super relaxed, accommodating and brought my latte to the table. Everything was textbook but still perfect. The latte had a great pull, no bitterness. Even the sugar syrup used was light and didn't overpower the milk or the espresso. The croissant was perfect. Right flakiness, still warm as it was just pulled from the oven, I want more. The one thing that's lacking is that it was empty. It needs more people to know how good of a spot it is! Will have to come here whenever I'm in Stratford! ”
