The location is beautiful, the staff super friendly and their flair for having the right drinks, the right glasses to serve them in and to provide the most relaxed and inviting space - well, this place is a must visit if you like coffee, want a break in a beautiful setting and are looking for a coffee shop that does more than just 'coffee'.

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

The food: --Thai curry chicken was the big winner --cheese burger and fries were on point --chicken sandwich was great; fresh salad was wonderful --grilled salmon was overcooked. Bummer.
