This is a great cafe to grab a coffee, any other hot drinks &/or something tasty to eat. Word to…read morethe wise, kitchen shuts an hour prior to actual closing time. So no tasty sandwiches that last hour. However, you can still order the remaining baked treats that last hour there open (& really, that's not a bad thing if you have a sweet tooth!). The layout feels like it's two shops & allows for lots mixed seating & one great long table with giant benches. This also means one needs to be able to navigate through tighter spots easily if you're sitting down before your order is ready (or for my friends that look for accessible work arounds, going through the doors opposite to the sign suggestions to avoid any unfortunate drink/food disasters would be a good strategy). There's separate entrance/exit doors but the way the long line up to order occurs inside, the exit door is smarter to enter into the cafe (if you're able). There's also some tables outside along the street & a bench along the wall. If the weather is decent, I usually opt for that outside option. Otherwise, I prepare myself for a louder cafe experience being that this location is busy right to the end of the day. The staff is always friendly here. I greatly appreciate that the cashier took time to ask about any soy in certain baked treat options I was considering (after finding out I couldn't do a tasty turkey sandwich I was hoping for). In the past I've enjoyed breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches. Both worthy of me to return to enjoy again. Being that it's awhile since I stopped here, I opted to try their seasonal latte. Usually I go with their tasty mocha. So I have to say for all the spices listed in the drink, I really didn't taste the difference between that special seasonal latte & a regular latte. However, still a very decent latte & gave me the needed caffeine boost after wandering through my first QB Christmas market before stopping at the cafe. As Qualicum Beach is known for their senior population, this place (like many others) has the basics checked off for accessibility. However, if I had anyone joining me with a walker or wheelchair, I would definitely suggest we find a table first & then I would go up to order for everyone. This being even with a cane, I find it is really hard to navigate back to the tables once you've got the order. They have a small bathroom tucked at the back but you need to be able to navigate around many tables to reach it. The lightning never bothers my eyes in here but at full capacity, anyone with hearing issues or noise sensitivity would have issues. Overall, a decent local place with a lot of regular tasty menu items.

My favorite spot in Powell River…read more Best coffee I've found in Powell River (significantly better coffee than River City). They use a lighter roast with some acidity which is my general preference (no burnt taste), and they make a very solid cappuccino. Baked goods are also quality and they do tasty sandwiches with fresh and seasonal ingredients. It's $15 for a sandwich, with 25% off for day-old sandwiches (which is such a great idea from a food sustainability perspective). Ambiance has a cool hipster vibe with big windows, lots of natural light, and wooden tables. It's a great place to get some work done or catch up with a friend. Service is always friendly and polite. They also have a gift shop with local artists' work to peruse. Great spot. I come here every time I'm in town.

Of course we had to stop by our favorite cafe and donut shop, Fox & Oak. Love how they have a good variety of vegan and regular options for the donuts (they have gluten free too). I am not vegan but I can't digest milk protein well so I am always looking for dairy-free and vegan options. We got a vegan cinnamon sugar donut, regular passion fruit donut, and vegan apple fritter with raspberry icing to go. While at Whistler, we broke out all three and shared them before having lunch at Hunter Gather. All the donuts were delish!! We were all impressed by how fresh and soft they all were. Also, I didn't think I'd like the apple fritter with raspberry icing that much but I ended up liking it the most! On our way back from Whistler to Vancouver, we couldn't help it--we stopped and got two more donuts! Yep, it was a double donut day. I am not ashamed to admit it. Don't judge me until you try this place. Thank you, Fox & Oak!
