Lazy Tulip Cafe

Love this place and the location! The staff are awesome and friendly! The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5, is that the food could be better.

Absolutely love the new Space, I do miss the bohemian coziness of the old location but the food and drinks were Outstanding and the staff are truly wonderful.

First time in, pleasantly suprised by a really cute place to have a cup of tea and a nice fresh lunch. Will definitely be by again!

I really do like the atmosphere and the food. But the customer service leaves much to be desired. They are curt at best. Rushing you at worst.

It was our first time at the Cafe recently and while the menu and atmosphere is not very kid friendly, my kids really enjoyed it!
Delightful. We will return, most definitely.

Great place for lunch. Food was amazing and healthy. Service was great! This new location by the art gallery is really cute and nice inside. Great vibe and great music.

One of the best places to go for a coffee in Barrie. Acceptalbe prices and decent service. I like sitting the foyer of the Art Centre.

The McLaren Art Centre is beautiful, great event space. I was at the centre for a market this weekend and wanted to fill up my water bottle but noticed there wasn't any place to do so, no water fountain or station to fill up. So I went to the bathroom, tap was hot water. I decided to ask the front desk, the people working there told me to maybe try the cafe "the lazy tulip. " (Which is in the centre) I have heard such great reviews about this place, the food etc. I ventured over, looked at the food board, thought I might order something to eat later. (While I still wanted to fill up my water bottle), I waited patiently, as it seemed it was busy and everyone was zooming around trying to care for the customers. I ended up leaving after 15 minutes (no one said a word to me, not a hello, or even I'll be with you …etc). I went back after again looking for cold water (again) - finally a women asked me "can I help you? " So I proceeded to explain "I am looking for some cold water" she looked at me frustrated and advised “I should check the bathroom”. So I politely explain that the water is hot and if they had tap water that was cold, if I could have some. The women looked at me as if I was such a burden for asking and replied " ugh yes, " grabbed my water bottle and put it in the sink, turned the tap on and walked away. I felt so embarrassed even asking for water. I had asked someone who worked there if she was the owner and they replied "yes. " I have never been so mistreated at an establishment as I have today. I don't normally write bad reviews and this place seems to have many lovely reviews - working in customer service I would have never thought I'd be treated this way for asking for some "cold" water.especially from the owner.not impressed

**Update - I asked for tap water…. Didn’t realize that was such an expense to the owner.if you are mad about me not making a purchase with the “free” tap water, I probably would have if you didn’t have such an unpleasant attitude. I’ve worked in restaurants / hospitality, you lack a lot of customer service skills if that’s how you act when in high pressure / stressful situations.
