I have tried a few items including their cinnamon buns. One of the owners mothers taught her how to make these cinnamon buns and they are great.

Everything is made from scratch, with no preservatives, so it's doubly important not to linger too long on what to choose to enjoy; fresher the better! From breads of many types, to blueberry tarts, or cheese scones, or just a plain croissant, you'll come back for more, guaranteed! And that's what happened with us, we had a few goodies, went camping at Telegraph Cove, and on the way back down the island, replenished our supply!

Waitress walked off and never came back with my water. Had to track her down twice to request water before I finally got water. Ordered basted eggs with English muffin, got eggs over medium with whole grain toast. Politely said, I actually ordered English muffin, (did not mention that I didn't order fried eggs) she said "are you sure you don't want the toast? I said, no, I would like the English muffin. She walked off and served several other tables and started filling their drink orders. My husband tracked down a different person to get my English muffin, by then my not basted eggs were cold. I get it, mistakes happen to the best of us. A simple acknowledgment or apology would have been welcome, but not a word. It made me feel like I was the one being difficult and I hate being that person. It isn't cheap eats, so I simply wanted what I paid for. The fried potato hash towns were tasty and well seasoned, the eggs (however they were cooked) were good enough. Overall the food is what you expect for a traditional breakfast. If you don't expect amazing service you will enjoy the meal well enough.

You order from the kitchen at the counter and they bring to food out to you. The case looked to be full of tasty treats and reasonably priced. K had the skillet which came with toast that was so good. The skillet itself contained a good amount of food that was very nicely cooked. My bacon and eggs came with a choice of hash browns or toast. I chose the has browns and added a side of sourdough. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon nice and crispy as specified, along with a slice of tomato and some fresh basil which was a nice touch. My London Fog left a little to be desired, but that was but a small blemish in an otherwise excellent breakfast/brunch! If you are in Parksville I'd heartily recommend the Brazen Poppy Bakery Cafe. We'll be stopping on our way to Victoria tomorrow for sure.

But watch out for the self important, stern and nasty employee at Lilette who acts like she owns the place. She will dress you down for "staying too long" although a time limit is not stated.

This is the second time she has done this to us. We are mature, respectful, regular patrons of Lilette who live in Qualicum. She is a casting a dark cloud in a beautiful space.
