Dan left a comment asking what our hours would be so we went to Liz and asked, “So, what will the hours be?” (We thought it would be good to know when we’d be working.)
So here they are, though this is tentative. (see update at the end of the post). Hours (for the first week, at least):
- Monday – Saturday 11 a.m. – 8pm
And that’s the plan. We’ll try to make these official very soon, so we don’t have to say “tentative” anymore. Think of the Deli, when it opens, as being in a “beta” stage, as the software people like to say. As we get feedback from people, we’ll likely make changes to make it better and as close to what you expect as possible.
An update:
Thanks to the comments, we realized we should provide a more for information on our hours.
One of the reasons we say “tentative” is because things like the hours the Deli is open could change. Originally, Liz had the Deli going to be open till 11:00pm. But we decided to have it 8:00pm, at least for the first week, to get a sense for how things are operating and what people like and/or don’t like, and what is actually practical.
After the first week, Liz is thinking of having the Urban Deli open till 11:00pm Thursday through Saturday. It’s a bit of a balancing act though between what people would like and what the economics allow us to do. But we definitely would like to be open and available later in the evening for those people looking for somewhere to drop in after a show or other engagement.
I very pleased to hear about you opening but a little sad now about your hours. I had hoped that there would finally be a place to go for desert and coffee after attending an event or even going to a movie. Since moving back from Montreal, we have constantly said that this is sadly missing from the city. In fact the last time we went out we found it so hard to find desert that we ended up at Sobey’s buying a cake and taking it home…good but not the same atmosphere.
Can’t wait for the opening, good luck!
Thanks for the feedback! That’s exactly the kind of thing we want to hear. The post we’ll be updated shortly with a bit more information about the hours but, fyi … One of the reasons we said “tentative” is because things like the hours the Deli is open could change.

But we decided to have it 8:00pm, at least for the first week, to get a sense for how things are operating and what people like and/or don’t like.
