Incredible menu of sandwiches, wraps and more. All hand made. Delicious food, friendly service. Eat inside or out. Wish we had a Founders in Toronto

I’ve never seen people work so hard! This place is like a well oiled machine. And they’re nice too! Came here for lunch just now and I’m so impressed. Ordered this weeks special, the lobster roll. And an iced oat milk latte. Both were delicious. The lobster roll was amazing. I can’t even explain how good it was. As I was waiting for my food the paninis they were bringing out looked really good and the salad too. Chicken looked high quality on the salad. Highly recommend this place!

They make some amazing paninis and gave a great selection of hot drinks for cold afternoons in the city. I brought my kids (6 and 16) out for some treats and drinks and we had a lovely time. The building itself is an antique and the windows are about 10 feet tall- great atmosphere.

I love founders cafe! I utilize the app to order and my food is always done on time. The employees are all super nice. The inside is very clean and plenty of space to sit inside or outside patio tables. Never gotten a bad meal from here and very reasonable priced for the portion!
