This is a highly recommended breakfast place in Nelson from the locals. We went and we're not disappointed (we are from Alberta) and wish we had the restaurant and staff like this here. The staff was friendly, helpful, and genuine. The food is organic and made fresh. We felt like we were among friends sitting around and enjoying the view. read more

I was able to try two breakfast places in Nelson and Full Circle got my full stamp of approval. Great service, location and most importantly the food! If I am ever in Nelson again, I will definitely dine here gain, really nice staff and makes everyone feel welcomed. read more

Most creative delicious breakfast plates with healthy portions we've ever had. Gave 3 stars as between the wait and cooking time it was an hour from arrival to food. read more

This was recommended by a local as her favorite breakfast in town. The eggs Benedict were as good or better than most, but the wait was nearly unbearable if you're already hungry. The whole experience took 2.5 hours. It was busy, but felt like more of a service issue. We enjoyed it, but wouldn't wait that long again. read more

Best hollandaise sauce in the area. The breakfast potatoes are always their weak spot though. Cannot seem to get them actually tasty or crispy. Friendly staff and great location. Just beware of the potatoes. read more

The food is amazing and the staff are always friendly. Prices are high but that seems to be Nelson.

I had excellent scrambled eggs and sausage yesterday and outstanding scrambled eggs with smoked salmon today. Very friendly and a great breakfast place. read more

I ordered a mistake proof breakfast, guaranteed to be good value and dead easy to make. The Standard Breakfast came with 1 scrambled egg, multigrain toast, pan fries and bacon for $6.75. The scrambled eggs were tasteless with no seasoning to speak of. The pan fries were beyond terrible, soggy and not even halfway cooked. The bacon was below par. The portion was about what was expected and the toast was decent. My wife ordered the French Toast for $9.25. The "thick slices" turned out to be average toast thickness, not what we expected for French Toast, and there were only two slices. For over 9 bucks we expect thick slices, preferably four. The coating was present, but hardly noticeable, though the description made it sound robust and hearty. It added little to the taste. There were just a few pieces of fruit in the topping (so few I didn't get a taste), and the pecans were just as hard to find. Overall, this was terrible value for the money and we walked away estimating the cost of the ingredients. About 20 cents for the two miserable slices of bread, maybe 10 cents for the coating, 50 cents for the egg dip, 50 cents for the topping, and another 25 cents for the syrup. A total of $1.55. A stretch at 6 dollars, but possibly acceptable if the thick slices were actually thick. But for over $9, forget about it. Our rating: Quantity 2.5/5 Quality 2/5 Overall 2.25/5 Chance that we would go back there: ~ 0 read more

Great spot for breakfast in Nelson. Good selection, fresh food. Portion size on the hash seemed small but I didn't leave hungry. I would recommend Full Circle. read more

A quaint little cafe on the corner. don't let the exterior dissuade you - the interior is cute and welcoming. The food all seems to be fresh and local and The bright orange yolks of the eggs are telling of this. The customer service doesn't lack - a great breakfast joint open 7 days a week (a welcome point for tourists in a town where many places are closed Sunday's) read more

Very slow service, had to wait 15 minutes to get in and then over an hour for our food, and they weren't slammed. Waitress barely came to see us. read more

Came here for breakfast after this place was highly recommended by the attendant at my motel. Was not terribly busy at 8AM on a Saturday. Service was friendly and prompt. Restaurant does not have wifi...not a big deal, but seems not to match upscale cafes in 2013. I had their "New Paris" omelette, prepared at my request as a scramble, it included ham, goat cheese, caramelized onion, basil, and hollandaise sauce. It was delicious. Unfortunately, I have to ding them with a demerit for charging an extra $0.75 for substituting Kootenay Spelt bread (a local bakery's bread) for regular white or wheat...they give you 2 slices and honestly it's nothing special. This is an "upscale" cafe...if this really is a more high-end bread, they should just include it by default (and even just quietly increase the price of the entree a touch to include it). Having the up-charge for "nothing special" bread just seemed "nickel-and-dimey" to me. read more

First off, I have to say the food at the Full Circle Cafe was great. The food was tasty and hot. The service was great, they were always ready to refill our coffee and wait on us. Normally, I would give a place like this a 3 1/2 - 4 star rating, but after trying a few other places in Nelson, I decided to give it 5 stars. Compared to the other dining options in Nelson this place really shines. It's too bad that it was the last place we dined on our 4 day trip. We will definitely be eating here again! read more

Delicious benny's! Nanny Benny and a Taste of South Benny were both excellent. Servers were very friendly, the coffee was amazing, and the food was hot, fresh, and tasty. Prices were fair.. All in all, I could become a regular here. read more

Had breakfast here on our way to Osoyoos. Canadian Omlette was great! Good coffee. The staff could do with smiling a bit more

My partner and I came here for breakfast on a rainy day. We came in were seated pretty quickly. We ordered our food and sipped on our coffee while we waited. And waited. And waited some more while watching people who ordered after us enjoying their food. By this time, it had been about 45minutes, were getting annoyed and just before we were going to ask the status of our meals, it was another server (possibly the owner?) who noticed us looking hungry and came over to inform us that she thinks our order wasn't put thru. She apologized and told us she would "rush" order to the kitchen. We still waited about 10 or so minutes. When we did get our food, it was just ok, nothing spectacular. My crab cakes were kinda tuff and hard but I enjoyed the toast and jam. They gave us our coffees complimentary for forgetting to put our order into the kitchen but we still had to pay full price for our food that we waited almost an hour for. Then when we were paying, the staff member at the till assumed we didn't tip and I felt some attitude from her. We actually did tip $5.00 even tho our experience was kinda meh. She just didn't see the extra $5.00 in the money we paid. read more

Found this little gem when headed to the bookstore across the street. It was packed with what appeared to be locals, I was visiting in off season. Food was excellent and the staff was young but very attentive. The omelette brought me back for multiple visits. Best breakfast I had in Nelson read more

I saw on yelp that this place had high ratings; came here and those high ratings did not meet the expectation. Waitress rolled her eyes at us, as well as never refilled our waters. It was busy so I can understand that a little. The food was not good... didn't want to eat it but didn't want to waist our money either. read more

Great menu options. Great eggs benny. The cinnamon bun is to die for. Go. You won't be disappointed for any breakfast item.

Really good breakfast. Had the crab cakes and breakfast tacos, everything was flavourful and fresh. Great service.

Probably the best breakfast restaurant in Nelson. Eaten there several times and always great food and service. Would definitly recommend.

Have visited a couple times for breakfast. Had the Benny with goat cheese and bacon and tomatoes and it was delicious. Service is usually pretty good and prices average. read more
