Hungry for a light lunch we ended up at the Wild Oak, which you would miss if you weren't looking…read morefor it, and that would be a shame. It's small, quaint and in a smallish space with a couple of tables out front and a patio in back. It's dog friendly which we love, and a bit of a hole in the wall which we love even more. The service is counter service where you place your order, pay, receive a number and then sit while they prepare your sandwich, or whatever you order. The menu is small, which like the place makes sense. I had the grilled cheese with added ham for a very reasonable price and the lovely K had the daily special. Both were good, not five star worthy, but solid. We both had water, not really coffee folks, so can't comment on that, but the murmurs were that the coffee was great. For us a great place to grab a quick lunch and enjoy the sunshine in Armstrong, what could be better than that.

OVERALL: 7.9/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 4/5). My partner and I were passing through, and wanted to…read morestop for coffee. It was a decent experience - they did forget that I ordered a breakfast sandwich until I politely reminded them about 15 minutes after they gave us our last item (steamed oat espresso latte). Verdict: I'd come back if I lived in the area, or was passing through again, but it's not a place I'd outright go out of my way to get to. 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 8.5/10. It has a decent selection for being such a small hole-in-the-wall (relatively speaking). 2) FRESHNESS: 8/10. They have the materials to make things fresh, but a lot of the baked goods are technically "pre-baked" (they may have been made on the same day, but they're not "made to order". 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 7.5/10. Overall not bad, kind of expensive (sandwiches were $10 and $12; lemonade was $4 for a small glass with tons of ice, iced coffee and latte were $6 each, almond croissant was around $5?), but not terrible for a small(ish) town like Vernon (remember, all prices in $CAD for a Canadian business!). 4) SERVICE: 7/10. There were two people working here the entire time I was there; one was constantly making drinks, the other was alternating between helping customers order and making the food. It was a busy morning, but the person who took my order forgot about the breakfast sandwich that I'd ordered until I politely reminded them (after it was already cold, sad days). 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 8.5/10. I'd definitely come back - and prefer it over the local Starbucks / Timmie's - because local businesses are fantastic if done right (and this place seems to have struck that balance). Parking in front, but not much! I'm happy to see a local coffee shop thriving - tons of folks came in and the place was always having someone order the full time I was there. NOTE: This place is also the same as "juice wall" - there's a "wall" of shelving near the door that's a ton of wine options - you have to get a coffee shop item to order stuff from there, but it seemed like a reasonable price when I was perusing (but not purchasing) the wine. My only regret is not taking a picture of the wall! The seating wasn't bad - there's maybe 5 tables of 2-3 inside, and a patio that lines the outside of the place - so it's not bad by any means.

During our short trip Natty's was the only restaurant that did not require this proof and in fact seemed quite proud of the fact that they didn't ask for it. It made me very uncomfortable and we will not return until the mandate to show proof of vaccination is lifted.

My mother ordered a hot latte, right after she took one sip she said, "it tastes like cigarettes". I also ordered an açaí bowl. It should not even be called that because it was more like a smoothie bowl. I got a total of 5 blueberries and 1 sliced strawberry (there was a good banana which was nice). As you can see, I did put my spoon in the acai bowl before the picture was taken, but this does not affect the presentation of the bowl, it still looked just as bad.

In fact, this place is completely clueless when it comes to proper gluten free and it is terrible food on top of it. Their crepes are made on the same griddle and I was told they use separate utensils and put down a "layer of oil as a barrier". FYI-a layer of oil does NOT make a barrier for gluten. I ordered the regular crepe for my husband - he said it was more like a pancake and not terribly good. I ordered the breakfast that was supposed to have scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon. I asked how the hash browns were prepared as I was concerned about cross contamination (often hash browns are fried in the same fryer as gluten items). I was told they are baked. Once I received my plate, I realized they were frozen hash browns so had to go request to look at the ingredients. Those were fine but I could have been told when I was clearly concerned about gluten contamination. I had a mouth full of the eggs which were flavourless and slimy/mushy so I would hazard a guess that they also came from a box/bag and not from the shell. My dining companions each shared two regular crepes, one with eggs and they thought the eggs in the crepes were terrible and disappointed in the quality of the crepe itself. They also left half their cappuccinos.
