While staying just down the street on our honeymoon last week, we frequented the Gryphon a couple times  -- once for a delicious light lunch, and again for a peaceful late night pot of tea and dessert.  Both times I was blown away by the service, especially from the charming and funny cafe owner.  She gifted us a box of shortbread when I mentioned we were visiting NDG on our honeymoon, and was just generally hilarious and awesome.  My soup, his sandwich, the incredible chocolate cheesecake and scones -- the Gryphon's kitchen can do no wrong.  Definitely one of the brightest spots of our week in the city.
