The Most Charming Breakfast Place in Courtenay…read more I believe whoever was in charge of this location's look and feel was at least partially inspired by Hobbit architecture. It was delightful dining here and the food was pretty good too! My wife ordered the Two Poached Eggs with Whole Wheat Toast & Jelly breakfast, while I created my own sandwich (Montreal Smoked Meat on an Onion Roll with lettuce, tomato, and avocado). I also got a cup of their soup of the day (Cream of Butternut Squash). Everything was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. And we got to experience what eating breakfast for Frodo & Bilbo Baggins must've been like. Highly recommend if you're in Courtenay and want to get away from the typical run-of-the-mill diner or cafe experience for breakfast.

I'm on a quest to visit all the Yellow Delis. This is my second since being in BC.

My sister had the veggie burger and my nephew some of the housemade (equally delicious) granola. The food is always yummy but I'm usually here for the exceptional customer service and interesting people i meet, they didn't disappoint. Chatted with Ben today, super friendly even had some chapstick made on the farm for me to try! It's super nice so make sure you grab one when you pay. Took a cinnamon bun for the road, you should too!!!

Great place to drink coffee and talk with friends. Patio is nice. All stars go to the location…read more Coffee is just ok. The food isn't forgettable as my food tasted like it was reheated in a microwave and looked like it was tossed into the bowl. Very disappointing having read the reviews. The staff didn't seem like they want to be there.

Walked in and immediately liked this place. Good people, good energy and great coffee!…read more Had a flat white with my first ever oat milk which I was convinced to try by the barista and yes it was all he said it would be Heading back for breakfast tomorrow.

Even though I live in Arizona, the delivery was local so ordering online was super easy. Sent a follow up email question after I paid and they responded right away yay! Off to a great start so I had high expectations that the goodies would be as delicious as advertised... and they did not disappoint! Thank you for putting a huge chocolate eating grin on my friends face...she said the truffles were the best ever and the little frogs were just irresistible! The customer service is the best! The chocolates were packaged with care and delivered by courier the very same day, plus I got a call and email to make sure everything was received in good order....fantastic! You've got a customer for life... can't wait to stop by some day to taste them for myself!

This is the only place I eat in Courtenay; it has spoiled me for anywhere else. It is obvious on…read morefirst bite that the fixed menu of 3 different sandwiches, soup, salads, and bakery goodies are prepared with love, devotion, and much talent from scratch on the premises, including delicious homemade focaccia for sandwiches. There is no skimping on fresh ingredients. Blueberry muffins are chock-full of juicy blueberries, the lemon tarts are so lemony and you could not imagine a better cinnamon bun. I'm addicted to their vegan sandwich which is bursting with flavourful yams, caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, humus, lettuce, and cukes on homemade focaccia. I suggest you try it even if you are not vegan. The staff are lovely and the venu is casual, clean and uncluttered. It's a no muss, no fuss place with the focus on exceptional food prepared by someone who loves what they do and really cares about you.

Good food, okay coffee…read more I've had the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito and both were delicious, although the breakfast sandwich is a bit on the heavy side from all the cheesy goodness so maybe try something else if you're looking for something lighter. Coffee is okay - comparable to Starbucks. There is lots of seating inside. Service is very friendly. It does feel a bit dim in terms of lighting. Overall a very solid spot to grab some lunch/brunch.

I didn't order coffee from here but I did order a few breakfast items as well as a fruit smoothie,…read moreall of which were delicious and of high quality. Especially the fruit smoothie, it tasted very fruity and I was definitely sad when I wasn't able to have any more of it when I finished. I sadly do not remember the name, but I'm pretty sure any of the fruit smoothies you can order from here would be all excellent. One star is taken off because I do find the prices a bit on the high side in retrospect to other coffee shops in the area, but i'd come back again otherwise. I especially enjoyed how homey the cafe felt inside. Friendly service too, just like what you'd expect out of small town BC
