You order from the kitchen at the counter and they bring to food out to you. The case looked to be full of tasty treats and reasonably priced. K had the skillet which came with toast that was so good. The skillet itself contained a good amount of food that was very nicely cooked. My bacon and eggs came with a choice of hash browns or toast. I chose the has browns and added a side of sourdough. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon nice and crispy as specified, along with a slice of tomato and some fresh basil which was a nice touch. My London Fog left a little to be desired, but that was but a small blemish in an otherwise excellent breakfast/brunch! If you are in Parksville I'd heartily recommend the Brazen Poppy Bakery Cafe. We'll be stopping on our way to Victoria tomorrow for sure.

My husband and I were staying at the resort nearby and kept passing by this location. I kept…read morecommenting on how we needed to get ourselves some serious coffee, and for the last two days of our stay that is exactly what we did! From the road, the coffee shop looks quaint and small, and I was blown away by the spacious interior. There were lots of signs offering the day's specials, plus a giant blackboard by the cashier listed out every menu item available. A sign noted shortened hours due to shortage of staff, but I didn't feel the shortage in any way. Service was prompt and we received our orders almost as soon as we ordered and paid. Since we already had breakfast on our first visit, I opted for a coffee and a marbled rye toast, only to be told the marbled rye toast was discontinued and they really needed to erase that item from the menu. Not a big deal; I got whole wheat toast instead. It was amusing to see the next day, the marbled rye option was still listed on the blackboard, without even having the "sold out" sticky sign taped over it. The hubby ordered one of the most delicious vanilla cold brews I have ever tried: full on vanilla flavour, but not overly sweet. To sound cheesy, this location does coffee very seriously while providing an excellent ambiance and service. Would have appreciated a little more current menu, but other than that, I wished we had a location closer to home!

The staff are friendly and know their menu as well. They'll gladly suggest a little something if you can't make up your mind. On nice days, the courtyard seating is so relaxing, while cooler, wetter days you can find a cozy spot inside to just chill and enjoy their offerings. The croissants are buttery, flakey magic. Just sayin'. You would be doing yourself a disservice to miss this family owned and operated business nestled in the heart of Qualicum.
