If you don't like kale - don't get it as it's 80% just that. I couldn't eat it, gave it to my husband. The drinks were just ok. My peach Bellini looked much better than it tasted sadly. Service was mediocre. What happened to this place ??

Waitress walked off and never came back with my water. Had to track her down twice to request water before I finally got water. Ordered basted eggs with English muffin, got eggs over medium with whole grain toast. Politely said, I actually ordered English muffin, (did not mention that I didn't order fried eggs) she said "are you sure you don't want the toast? I said, no, I would like the English muffin. She walked off and served several other tables and started filling their drink orders. My husband tracked down a different person to get my English muffin, by then my not basted eggs were cold. I get it, mistakes happen to the best of us. A simple acknowledgment or apology would have been welcome, but not a word. It made me feel like I was the one being difficult and I hate being that person. It isn't cheap eats, so I simply wanted what I paid for. The fried potato hash towns were tasty and well seasoned, the eggs (however they were cooked) were good enough. Overall the food is what you expect for a traditional breakfast. If you don't expect amazing service you will enjoy the meal well enough.

I was so surprised when our server brought a giant dish of the best fruit salad I've ever had - with every type of ripe, delicious, fruit included. Seriously, I was trying to figure out which fruits were not included, and every time I thought of one, I'd find a piece of that fruit. Two thumbs up for this place!

It's rustic in that honest, country way: wood, warmth, and a smallish-town Squamish vibe that makes you slow down whether you meant to or not. The location does half the work for the ambiance, the rest comes from the feeling that someone actually cares about feeding you well. This is home-cooked brunch with intention. Portions are generous without being sloppy, and every plate feels thought out, like it's been tested by real people who eat breakfast for a living. The pancakes are the headline act--huge, fluffy, unapologetic, and exactly what you want when you're leaning back in your chair wondering if you should order another coffee or surrender to a food coma. And if the night before got a little loose, the double Caesar is a public service: bracing, restorative, and delivered without judgment - oh my aching head. What really seals it, though, is the staff--genuinely welcoming, on their game, and clearly proud of the place. The Crabapple Café isn't trying to be trendy or precious. It's just very good at what it does. A must-try in Squamish, especially if you believe breakfast should be comforting, filling, and a little bit healing. This is not our first time, and definitely not our last. The cafe has become our way station before heading up to Whistler. CHEERS!!!

We didn't expect a place such as this on the highway in between towns to be open at 11 AM on New Years Day, but there it was beckoning our hungry selves. Boy are we happy we stopped! The place is small and attached to a general store which looked to be well stocked. The restaurant was busy but the tables turned quick and we sat and were very promptly served by a smiling young man who took our tea orders and dropped water for us as well. We were given a little appetizer of blueberries, dragon fruit and pineapple along with a delicious obviously home made nut loaf which was delicious! Our orders were taken and the food delivered very quickly and piping hot. The portions were generous and well prepared. We would certainly stop by this little diamond in the rough if we find ourselves on the old Island Highway again. Thanks for a great meal!
