    Hours into our drive from Vancouver to Penticton it was time to eat lunch! We discovered this place and loved the grilled cheese sandwich and chicken sandwich! Darn it... not open on Sunday when we drive back...oh well.... we know this place and will certainly stop again for delicious food and good service! (Meal eaten ... then forgot photo... next time!)

    Yum! Love the interior "curly maple" bar and side bars. Very sanitary in covid. Cooks wear masks. Doors open and outside patio. Good bang for buck. Will return if in area.

    Delicious, healthy home-cooked meals and espresso drinks with accommodating alternatives, such as soy milk, gluten-free toast. Tables are unique being horizontally cut and varnished trees, it was a bit tough to pull up our son's high chair to. It was busy and not a quick meal, but well worth it.

    Good Vibes

The interior of the business looked like it was a kitchen and bar from the mild lighting, the sophisticated décor and the spacious layout of the dining area. Even for a coffee house, they have a large selection of baked goods and sandwiches to choose from that you would take a moment to think about what you would order. I ordered the Bacon Breakfast Waffle Sandwich with the Cappuccino with oat milk. The sandwich was very good with the waffles being flavourful on their own. The Cappuccino was fantastic, tasting consistently palpable. I also had their Almondine Croissant, which I found fresh, crunchy and tasty overall. The service was pretty proficient as well, where they use a beeper system to call customers from their tables. Although, they do call your name sometimes too. This business is a hotspot for special events as well with a bulletin board in the back telling you what is happening. So, the Blue Moose Coffee House is a highly recommendable place to have breakfast, lunch, a take-out meal or just to socialize. I look forward to coming back to this place.

    Late last month we had an incident at the Water St. Subway here in Hope. Initially I was going to…read morejust move forward when a friend convinced me that something need be said. We just had our order finished by one of the rudest Canadians ever. As we headed out a young lady entered with a small boy in tears. That's enough to stop anybody in their tracks and listen. Come to find out he needed the rest room. When asked, Ms. Personality at the counter snapped at the woman that the rooms are out of order and there are signs on the door! Because sometimes I just can't mind my own business and there's always power in numbers, I interceded and asked why. "It's not important why, they just are" was her retort. I tried pleading, negotiating, even appealing to her maternal psyche. I went as far as to suggest they weren't really out of order, it's an old tactic to keep the public out when diseases are running high. They could've let the little guy in and dealt with it later. They could've shown some empathy or sympathy. None of the above. In the end, they totally got the sandwiches and my wife's drink wrong. I'm not positive but I believe we were overcharged. I can't prove that and it would only be a couple bucks so we'll dismiss that one. The place wasn't the cleanest, but the sandwiches were made pretty darn good. The little boy saga worked out well when we literally walked to the end of their store front and told the kid to step around the corner and pee on the wall. The owner said it was okay. He ended up fine. If subway called, complained and the BCPP wants to drive to the states and come get me. They are welcome to PM me for the address. 07/22

It was a cool morning, it was open, and provided a nice 'warm-up' break. When we arrived, the coffee was not ready, but our host at the time, was so friendly, and kept us entertained with 'local' stories, and such, while she finished it's brewing. Thanks to her, and the coffee, we left 'warmed up', and ready for the rest of our walk.

We'll be back

    Been a year or so since we have been out to this restaurant and finally got the hubby to agree to…read moredrive out for a date night. Get a little dressed up have a great meal and maybe dessert and a coffee. We got there as a 2 top and was walked past multiple empty booths and sat in an open more pub like dinning area. I just assumed that the server in the dinning area was at limit of tables. It's chilly in this area so I kept my coat on and saw that the people at the table next to us kept theirs on too. There is a birthday? Bachelorette? In the corner. This will be relevant later. So we sit and my husband ordered a Guinness and I a Diet Coke. He brings the drinks and there is no head on the Guinness, there is none of that carbonation in the beer. So he takes our food order and my husband comments on beer and the server said that the beer was poured correctly. That they poured half let it sit then poured the rest. My husband said ok but there is no head? And they replied well I don't know it was poured correctly and left. Ok not overly impressed but I've eaten the food. It's my cheat night. I have a pulled pork sandwich with Caesar salad. The table next to us gets their food. The one woman at the table picks at her fries and is commenting how bad the sandwich is. The other two men weren't impressed either with their food. The party in the corner is getting loud. The server drops a new drink to me unprompted which I love. And hubby orders a bottled beer. He then goes to the next table to pick up dishes and I hear the woman say ya I don't know what that is but it is not pulled pork. Hubby looks to me and starts to laugh. So server takes all their stuff walks away. And I said noooo please tell me it's not the pulled pork? She said like pulled pork is bbq. There was no bbq. Also nothing was pulled it was a solid piece of I'm not sure what but I think it was fish?? I'm sad, but hopeful that it was just a mistake and I'll get the right order. She has to raise her voice to speak as the party table is well having a party.. Our food comes and I immediately open the sandwich and it's a solid piece of white meat. I say oh hold on. And he's like yes? I said this isn't pulled pork? There is no cheese? That's shredded lettuce not cabbage and there is so much sauce the white bread not sourdough is soaked. The salad came with no dressing? They say ok so you don't want it? what would you like? And I said I don't know can I have a menu? So he walks off to get one. Hubby opens his sandwich and it's not right either. His is the farmhouse chicken sandwich. This was also not even close to right. There was no cheese, it was not layered roast chicken it was rotisserie chicken that oddly enough was ripped up like pulled pork??? The sauce was mayo not a creamy herby cheese sauce. Although it did have the bacon, lettuce but no tomato. The server returned hubby shows him that his is missing things and wrong and he says so you don't want it either? Hubby says no I'm hungry but your kitchen is messing up allot. The server then looked at me and said find anything on the menu. Like oblivious to what hubby just said and I said. No I'm good. Honestly I was scared what would come out. Hubby finishes and we ask for the bill. The party girls now have shots The server proudly walks up and says don't worry I got your meal removed from the bill. You can pay at the front. So I looked thinking that they removed hubby's because mine wasn't even eaten and sent back and his was completely wrong. No they removed my meal. Nothing for the fact the hubby's meal was wrong. I debated writing this for over a week but the whole thing was so bad I don't want someone else to waste their gas, time and money. I got dressed up for date night to sit in a cold pub area with a party, the girls did nothing wrong, but the atmosphere was just wrong. The new owners have absolutely destroyed what was once an amazing restaurant

They serve a large variety of coffees and teas, etc. and many people show up just for the drinks. They also serve a decent breakfast, though the options are limited, as well as soup, salad, and sandwiches (though we were there for breakfast) Still, for a coffee shop breakfast where you order at the counter, $40 isn't cheap, which is what ours ran to. My Hope Mountain breakfast came with scrambled eggs which were good with a garnish, the sausage (apparently deep fried), the potatoes (cubes, also apparently deep fried) were OK but not great, marbled rye toast of the kind of bread you'd get in a grocery store - nothing special. You can choose bacon or sausage, kind of toast, and scrambled, or fried as you like -- so perfectly adequate, not a special breakfast out. My partner got bubble tea and the mega breakfast sandwich - essentially a bagel with omelette-like egg, tomato, cheese, and avocado. Both the tea and the sandwich were fine. But I do want to be clear -- this is a coffee house, not a sit-down restaurant. It is busy, and you kind of fend for yourself. The fact that they make breakfast or sandwiches in the back doesn't turn this into a restaurant with table service.

    Latte was large and beautiful, but I didn't like the flavor of the coffee very much. The service…read morewas quick and delivered to counter facing window and park. Nice place to relax, clean with various places to sit. However, there was no public restroom, which was 1/2 the reason I went.
