To be fair I only had coffee - decaf - and it was really good. An americano. And they had cinnamon. Which always makes me like a place more. The place was super busy (truth and reconciliation day) but the staff were all really nice albeit exhausted. Didn't stay in because it was loud but I liked the ambiance and would enjoy hanging around there on a quieter day.

My first experience at CCH was to meet the potager chef aka Connie and what a delicious experience…read moreit was. After I was introduced to Connie she told me the soup of the day was "Chicken Pot Pie". I was then invited into the kitchen to see the fruits of her labour. I ordered the CPP and I was not disappointed, the peas, carrots and chicken were cooked to perfection, all served at a perfect temperature. My sister pointed out that not only does Connie cook the entrees but the baked goods as well. I finished off my lunch with perked coffee and a ginger cookie, both were awesome. This was my first visit to CCH but not my last!

I…read morepulled in because of the signage when I was driving through crescent beach and I was not disappointed. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had a nice chat about the store (I asked a lot of questions) and about the area. My favourite part is the little cubbies they have for locals to keep their mugs in. The coffee selection is what you'd expect, a few fancy drinks, lots of teas and local drip coffee. I went for the drip coffee, black. It was perfect. There is a clothing/retail side to the store that's worth a look, loads of cool stuff like bike tire belts and fun shirts. If you happen to be in the area it's a must visit for sure! I will be back many times.

I ordered an iced latte with almond and the person at counter asked if I wanted oat like they didn't hear me. Oh well, got a cous cous salad, kid wanted a cookie and breakfast panini. The cookie was alright, not very sweet ( oatmeal raisin) and kind of dry. The greek cous cous salad wasn't bad - could use more veggies as it was 80/20 cous cous to veg and it was pretty filling! The breakfast panini looked good but O had the other half my kid couldn't finish and I liked how crisp the bun was and the maple bacon was good but something about the eggs reminded me of the eggs from the Ikea breakfast which imo is not good. Next time I'll just do coffee & carrot cake ( it did look good!) While the food we just had was okay, i would say the space is more like being in someone's house. Large space with lots of seating and tables. There is a tv, books and board games so a good place to hang out. Good sized parking lot and outdoor seating.

Ordered…read morean oat milk latte, my usual coffee drink, and I was able to choose from 2 options of espresso beans they were brewing for the day. Also got a blueberry scone which was very buttery and delicious! I also love that they give you your drink order in real mugs/cups if you're dining in. The ambiance was your typical coffee shop -- quiet with soft lofi music playing in the background. There were high and low tables, some with comfy/soft chairs, while others had the bar style chairs. The tables each had the wifi password so for those staying a while and needing internet while working, you don't have to ask the baristas for the wifi password. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is I wish they would've provided more baked goods or food options. They had one sandwich option when I came in before 11am, a bagel option, and just a handful of different pastries. The shelves looked half empty so I'm assuming there's normally more options? Still good to try if you're wanting good coffee in the area.

At Esquires, I don't know what it is, machine, bowl, care, milk or what...... but just the most lushest velvety foam ever. Never had a bad cap and will literally drive 20 mins out of my way past 10 coffee joints for their cap fare. I never get it to go, only china plz, sit outside and enjoy the lazy goings on. I always sprinkle generous amounts of chocolate on top (not cocoa-yech). They give you this tiny coke spoon and you'll use it on that billowing mound. Don't know why so many Eq. have closed. This one remains tucked away in a cozy location on Crescent road. Catch it before or after the beach. Especially cozy inside on a rainy day. TIP: grab a heavenly, warm, gooey, real french linen, 1M calorie cinnamon bun down below at Fieldstones. Thats it .....I've talked myself into both....leaving now with my best 4 legged friend.

All the food behind the glass looked so good, and I was going to settle on an egg salad on a croissant but then I looked at the menu, I chose the salmon with caramelized fennel, and augala ...It came with 2 poached eggs cooked exactly how I chose, and slices of avocado on the dish as well. I never liked avocado for breakfast, but it all looked so fresh and the smoked salmon was perfect! All on a home made in house croissant! So delicious The owner/chef brought it to our table and talked with us for a while. He gets 5 stars from us!

The açaí bowl was refreshing, and there are a few more toppings that can be added on for 75c each but do I do wish there was some more variety.

It was a little bit bland and underwhelming in terms of servings for the price.
