Such a great bakery with tantalizing choices. We came in the late morning and were craving savoury,…read moreso we got a Jalapeno Smoked Cheddar Twist and a focaccia sandwich. Both were delicious! Service was prompt and friendly. There are some tables within the bakery, a few benches out front and then tables all around the building, supporting the different food vendors in this complex. We also came back a few days later for a Japanese pop up out of Francis Bakery. So cool to offer up this space for different purposes.

The location has lovely decor and is incredibly classy and tasteful. We were tempted to relive our Paris travel adventure and order the baguette sandwich with corniche pickles, but... maybe next time. I am, however, not a fan of the lay out. The counter is poorly situated and customers are forced to line up outside and cannot see the offerings until they are up to order and get no time to peruse because of the pressure to order quickly. The push to hurry up and impatience from the staff and customers behind us meant we left with fewer items.

Coffee shop, Restaurant, or both?…read more It's a bit confusing as this place has two sides. One is a hip looking coffee shop with vintage records and record players on display, the other a modern, laid back, restaurant. Both wonderful, both delicious. I had the rock fish burger and also tuna tartar. The burger was perfectly battered and the fries were so addictive! Also, the tuna was fresh and wonderfully balanced with citrus and a sweet chermoula. Wow! So tasty! Note, if you are looking for a coffee while chilling out at the restaurant, you need to go order it and bring it over yourself. It's weird, but you're on Salt Spring so just go with it

We arrived on a Tuesday and forgot about this so we got caught up in the hustle. Best grocery store on the island. It's shopable and their cafe is great! Compared to some of the competitors this is the best. I just miss the bowling alley across the street. Don't sleep on their bakery. If you're not getting the Nanaimo bars you're just losing money! The check out clerks and very friendly...sometimes too friendly...Just the other day I was chatting with my husband and the clerk made an odd comment and in our A and B conversation, he did NOT C his way out it. It was all in good fun though, we do truly love this place, and don't forget to hit the dispensary next door! That place is magical!

We tried to visit twice during open hours only to have the food cart closed both times and once seeing (who I think was) the owner waltz up as I was leaving (after trying to figure out the hours online) approximately 1.5 hours after opening. I do know they are in business since one day I did drive by seeing the place open with someone eating outside. Hopefully one day I'll get to try PV's Patate if I can figure out when they are open.

Could there really be a Japanese-owned & -operated spot on this otherwise culturally homogeneous island? We dropped by our first evening after getting off the ferry and were disappointed to find the truck closed. The hours of operation are written as "11:30 to 5 or 6" daily... Classic island hours.

This roadside fish shack is the Real Deal!…read more THE ROSES: Outstanding English style (battered) fish and chips. The batter-to-fish ratio is perfect, and they're not too greasy. They also do a very good job with the fried prawns and oysters as well. The venue is run-down, but clean, and has a very rustic waterfront air to it. THE THORNS: Not a lot of dining space. This isn't a problem if you visit on an 'off-peak' time, but on a hot summer day dining in a cramped space might be unappealing. THE VERDICT: Don't judge a book by its cover. This dumpy little roadside seafood shack punches well above its weight with its fish and chips. Recommend!
