    Great coffee and breakfast place on the way to Nanaimo! They have Nanaimo bars!!! I'm looking forward to the eggs and hash browns(potato cut)!

    The best place to stop by in Ladysmith.

    Great service. Great Reuben sandwich and blueberry muffin. This was my experience the first time I visited this place. Yesterday on our way back to Victoria we stopped by again for lunch since we thought this place is halfway between Courtenay and Victoria. I ordered their lunch special of grilled scallops sandwich. That has to be the best sandwich I ever tasted. The sauce was perfect and delicious with the scallops. I would have taken a photograph but my iPhone was not available at the time. I certainly would order that sandwich again the next time we stopped there in our travel.

    Funky little gem in the heart of Ladysmith. Big slices of fresh toast and yummy hash browns fried in onion.

    OK, this bakery rocks! If you are going to or passing through lady smith, this place is worth a…read morestop. We were walking and saw a huge line so we continued walking, and then came back and the line was still long! We wanted to get some pasties and coffee so waited patiently (about 10-12 mins) in line. They have such a huge collection of pies, tarts, sausage rolls, croissants, cookies, breads and cinnamon rolls, etc. We couldn't decide what to get and don't want to go crazy as we had bought pasties earlier on from elsewhere, so bought two different cinnamon buns and a latte. The poppy seed and cream cheese cinnamon buns were incredible! Latte was delicious! Haven tried the rhubarb and strawberry cinnamon bun yet but looking forward to it tomorrow! There are limited tables and seats inside but it's crowded. The staff are friendly and the regular locals are amazing! We had a chat with the lovely folks in the line and they were recommending what they love, which was pretty special! I'm giving five stars because they deserve it - their food, drinks and hospitality.

    This little bakery in Ladysmith is adorable. I got a loaf of baked grain bread, some cookies, a…read morebrownie, and a cupcake. I came for some cinnamon rolls as they are reputed to be the best around. However, since I got here 15 minutes before they closed, the lady in front of me bought the last two cinnamon rolls and I was left wanting. The staff here is very cool and helpful. Maybe some other time I can try a cinnamon roll.
