Fringe Eats Series
Review: Exchange Cafe
137 Bannatyne Avenue

Newly opened last summer, the Exchange Cafe is a welcome addition to the casual dining scene in the Exchange. It’s a lovely space - well-lit, airy, and tastefully decorated - and during the Fringe, it’s most definitely a convenient spot to drop by for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink.
Their menu mainly features panini and pizza, and I find the prices very reasonable at $5-$13.95 (pizza on the heavy end). The menu combinations all sound quite good, but my special of the day of soft cheese and fresh tomatoes was ill thought out. Trust your inner foodie judgment and forgo the special in favour of menu items if necessary. The chili and salad were decent, but next time, I’d go for one of the pizza combinations!
Service was friendly, and I’m looking forward to another Fringe visit.
