great to see something available for after hours. and connected to hotel. But why not serve some local baking? like panicooker or venitarter ?
I was very surprised to see a Robin's Donuts open in Gimli. I was actually happy for them as I felt that the Robin's Donuts chain did not have much time left after losing the majority of their stores over the past twenty years as places like Tim Hortons and Starbucks only got stronger in the Winnipeg market. The location is fantastic with a well lit corner spot in the Lakeview hotel and offering traditional coffee shop items at low prices with fairly good hours (for Gimli).
However, that's basically all the good things I can say about this Robin's. The food including donuts as pasteries look good yet are fairly bland. The sandwiches are really nothing special, the coffee is not great, and the atmosphere manages to be brand new and well kept yet outdated at the same time. Robin's did not make enough of an effort to be competitive in Winnipeg and Tim Hortons all but obliterated them. Now with a Tim Hortons in Gimli I can't imagine that this already second rate coffee shop can manage to compete.
We enjoyed coffee and a muffin while sitting at a table in this bright corner restaurant, watching people go by, and chatting with others who had attended to Rotary District 5550 District Conference.
The location is excellent. I have stayed at the hotel a couple times now and it is great to have robin's right in the plaza
