Eating here was like I was on Summer Vacation in another city. The food was absolutely incredible. Everything had that homemade feeling with incredible flavours. Service staff was very incentive as to your needs. This place is a go-to for homemade deliciousness, with a relaxing feeling. Thank you, Bliss, for an incredible visit.
reviewed for our community paper, The Cochrane Post: rating: Happy to provide 5-star review for the great service, quality and flavour, great espresso coffee and top shelf baking.Really good espresso, great service, lots of quality baked goods, outstanding gelato, farm-to-table, my new favourite coffee shop. What a beautiful space. The renovations are clean, open, lots of windows and places to sit, patio as weather allows. Small gift wall with cute Hello Kitty items and more, I was hoping to find some Japanese stationery sets but no luck. Lots of staff and you get service right away. While I was waiting for my appointment to arrive, I ordered a coconut and pineapple gelato – WOW. Is this how they got their name? It might have been the best gelato I’ve ever had – handmade with ice, I can’t wait to go back and have it again. Rather expensive but so worth it. Extensive farm-to-table breakfast and lunch menu, with nice artisan breads. Since I used to own a coffee shop myself, I’m a terrible coffee snob and will have nothing over bad espresso or brewed coffee. VERY GOOD ESPRESSO and I hardly ever get to say that! I had traditional latte with regular milk and my colleague had one of many non-dairy options and both of our drinks were excellent – great espresso, just the right temperature, really good flavour. I’m looking forward to going again and you will likewise enjoy your visit here.
**Absolutely loved the food here!** Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The fried chicken tastes great and is crispy! The environment is nice.
Favourite place to get breakfast in town. Atmosphere is always great. Very welcoming staff and amazing food/coffee. I always get Rowan as my waitress. Remembers my order/friends order off by heart. Never disappoints!
It definitely surprised me that the gelato was delicious I also ordered a cappuccino and it was a really good time
The food is always very good and it is my favorite place in Cochrane to get a latte or cappuccino. The staff are very friendly and competent. Rowan remembers our names (even if we haven't been in for a while) and knows what our usual orders are and how we like our coffee. The atmosphere is always very chill and quiet and the music is usually turned down low which is a BIG plus in my books. Highly recommended!
The food was amazing and they accommodated our dietary preferences. The atmosphere was cozy and our server was very pleasant. It was an absolutely perfect lunch experience.
My parents and I have been going to Wow for lunch every Saturday for the past year and we thoroughly enjoy it! The food is great, the atmosphere is serene, and the background music is indeed in the background, not blaring overhead! (Perfect the two elderly hard-of-hearing folks!) Rowan has become "our" server. She greets us warmly by name each time and waves us to "our" table. She knows that both my parents take their coffee black while I take both cream and sugar. My parents also usually eat the same thing every time so she also takes our order quickly and we get our food fast! She is friendly and welcoming and we love seeing her for a quick catch-up!
