OVERALL: 7.9/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 4/5). My partner and I were passing through, and wanted to…read morestop for coffee. It was a decent experience - they did forget that I ordered a breakfast sandwich until I politely reminded them about 15 minutes after they gave us our last item (steamed oat espresso latte). Verdict: I'd come back if I lived in the area, or was passing through again, but it's not a place I'd outright go out of my way to get to. 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 8.5/10. It has a decent selection for being such a small hole-in-the-wall (relatively speaking). 2) FRESHNESS: 8/10. They have the materials to make things fresh, but a lot of the baked goods are technically "pre-baked" (they may have been made on the same day, but they're not "made to order". 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 7.5/10. Overall not bad, kind of expensive (sandwiches were $10 and $12; lemonade was $4 for a small glass with tons of ice, iced coffee and latte were $6 each, almond croissant was around $5?), but not terrible for a small(ish) town like Vernon (remember, all prices in $CAD for a Canadian business!). 4) SERVICE: 7/10. There were two people working here the entire time I was there; one was constantly making drinks, the other was alternating between helping customers order and making the food. It was a busy morning, but the person who took my order forgot about the breakfast sandwich that I'd ordered until I politely reminded them (after it was already cold, sad days). 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 8.5/10. I'd definitely come back - and prefer it over the local Starbucks / Timmie's - because local businesses are fantastic if done right (and this place seems to have struck that balance). Parking in front, but not much! I'm happy to see a local coffee shop thriving - tons of folks came in and the place was always having someone order the full time I was there. NOTE: This place is also the same as "juice wall" - there's a "wall" of shelving near the door that's a ton of wine options - you have to get a coffee shop item to order stuff from there, but it seemed like a reasonable price when I was perusing (but not purchasing) the wine. My only regret is not taking a picture of the wall! The seating wasn't bad - there's maybe 5 tables of 2-3 inside, and a patio that lines the outside of the place - so it's not bad by any means.

There is a certain energy to the Cafe that's is hard to put your finger on. And then it hit me. It's a gathering spots for people of all ages. It is a place to come and enjoy the moment and sip on that perfect cup of coffee. I spoke with Matt the owner briefly and I could really see he was passionate about his coffee and his Cafe. He also pointed out the two older couples that had been coming in everyday since they opened in 1994. Obviously they are doing something right.

I visited Barrique & Java multiple times. The best thing I tasted here was their Whipped Feta ($12)…read moreand Pink Fiesta ($19). The feta dish is local BC whipped feta with harissa honey and crostinis, it was delicious and made with good quality ingredients. The Pink Fiesta is a featured cocktail made with Empress Rose Gin, Basil, Strawberry Syrup and Lime Juice. I want to point out that our service was quite slow, I'm not sure the root cause but service is definitely lacking. The rest of the food and drinks were had were mediocre and way overpriced. We shared a Charcuterie Board ($32) and felt personally victimized by the Greek Yogurt Pretzels ($9.50 and not shown below). You could get both at Superstore for half the price and it would taste the same. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of merlot, so I wasn't completely in love with my Berry Bliss Sangria ($19). But, my Golden Italian Panini ($18) was decent... however extremely over priced.
