The food offered provides something for every palatte and desire and the coffee is consistent. A variety of seating gives options for a short "cuppa" or a long conversation with friends.

Everything is made fresh and to order. the bakery supplies the restaurant so you know it is FRESH. the smells from the kitchen are so enticing you want to order everything on the menu.

I simply love the fact that when I'm having a rough morning I can come here and they take care of me.

There is really nothing on the menu I don't like or haven't tried. The... More

Can't go wrong with breakfast, lunch or just coffee in this little Nanaimo gem. I heart independent business and this one gets everything right from the staff, service and quality of food and coffee. Thanks for raising the bar and quality casual in Nanaimo.
