Was super surprised to find this gem when Googling place to eat Red Deer for my day trip here…read more Easy to find IF you use Google Maps. Can see the barn from the road. Lots of parking. Lots of things for the kids to play on. Patio looks sparse and a little uncomfortable on those tiny chairs. So many cool trinkets to see here. Unique for sure. Staff were very friendly but not great with water refills. Not too busy at a Sunday at 12pm (50% full). Friend loved his Reuben but felt the soup was mostly broth. Another friend got the kettle chips and they literally looked like plain Ripple wavy potato chips. My salad was amazing, vinaigrette wasn't too sour which was perfect. Needed chicken for sure. Salad greens were fresh, but the beets seemed lackluster. Overall a wonderful place for a coffee date, couples date, Sunday brunch with your mom, or just to see the trinkets and have a light lunch.

Things have changed at this former hidden gem. Prices have gone up and service has gone down. There…read moreis one older woman in particular who is rude and obnoxious and has no regard for her customers. Three times now I have been there with friends when this woman proceeds to bring out the vacuum- which you can hardly hear yourself talk above - then the mop and bucket with the obnoxious smelling cleaner all while you are trying to visit with friends and finish eating. There is nothing worse in a restaurant and no excuse for it. I don't care if we are the only customers left , you wait until you close before cleaning the floor, it is rude and shows no regard for people that have paid to be there. I hope this changes but I and my friends will not be back to find out.

This is a "must stop at" in Red Deer. Eat here first. Then go next door to the Donut Mill to get…read morethings for the trip home. The exterior of this restaurant is darling. The entrance has a tea store with a bona fide selection of teas. I love getting different varieties as gifts. I also LOVE getting the cinnamon buns as gifts. No lie, one cinnamon bun can be shared by a family of four. They are huge and delicious. I also adore the berry syrup here. I could drink it straight from the bottle, it's so tasty. I need to come back to Red Deer because so much of the menu looks good here!

In college, I lived in Calgary and went to U of A. Every weekend for a whole summer would drive…read morebetween Calgary and Edmonton and stop for tea on the way home. The tea is fantastic, the rest of the food is slightly below Denny's quality and kinda so so. The bathrooms are also disgusting and like something from a truck stop. But hey great tea and a huge selection! It is always my go to stop when I get the chance.

Popped in this week to start some Christmas shopping. Staff were neither friendly or helpful and…read morenever greeted me as they were conversing with a colleague or friend. Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere!

I am very disappointed in my experience at Country Cupboard. I was there this past Saturday and I…read morefound the sales staff very rude and would rather talk to each other over customers. I had some very basic questions about a gift I was coming in to purchase and felt like I was an inconvenience. I took my business elsewhere and my friend loved her gift I purchased at Home Sense. It was a comparable product at half the price and the staff there answered ALL my questions. Normally I would prefer to support local businesses over chains, but ONLY if the SERVICE is there and it was NOT.

I ordered flowers from out of town and what was delivered looks absolutely nothing like what it was…read moresupposed to. There are maybe eight flowers and the rest is greenery. I sent an email but I have not had a reply. Definitely not worth my $130. Save your money. Go elsewhere

I was not impressed when I saw the picture my mom sent me of what she was sent. Nor was she...so much that she asked if I had spent any more than $40 as it was worth no more than that. I will not use this flower shop again. Pretty disappointed.

Like rocks? Gems? Fossils? Have I found the place for you. It's 6 rooms of stones and fossils of…read moreall sizes and shapes. You can get fossilized shark teeth, quartz, jade, pictures stone and SO much more. The staff is super helpful and just about as excited about talking about rocks as you are to buy them. The prices are a lot lower than I had expected and we came out with so many more rocks that I had intended.

The labour board needs to investigate this place. They have an unprecedented turnover rate and will…read morefire you with no notice right before the holidays as they've done with entire departments before, but they'll be sure to inform your entire team before you are even made aware. On the "road," you only get breaks if there's time, despite standing for 12 hours straight. They will make you re-sign a part time contract despite promising you full time and benefits. A coworker of mine worked 50+ hour weeks without a raise or a full time contract. Workload is massive and unfair for $16/hr. They mostly hire young people that they can manipulate easily, especially for the shows. When 8 people phone in sick after teardown, there is obviously a core problem in the company but you just laughed. The owners create an extremely suppressive environment. They gaslight, victim blame, lie, gossip, lovebomb, micromanage, avoid reflection, and never take accountability. There is no diversity, safety or trust, but there is a constant fear of retribution. It makes you wonder why there's no HR department. They use fear as motivation as the rules only exist to keep us in line. They are microaggressive and expect workaholic behaviour but provide no opportunities of forward movement. There is immense leadership gossip and favouritism. Regular employees are not allowed boundaries. The owners are malicious and secretive. They insist on silence as employees are on a need to know basis. We are not to discuss wages, hour cuts, contracts, and/or red flags or we will be punished. They gossip about former employees and even harassed one and used it to blackmail them. They lie about pricing and overcharge people and expect us not to tell them, and they create fake sales for profit. They lie about unethical sourcing to customers and employees. They undermine serious health hazards on a daily basis. One coworkers hours were cut to one day a week after she claimed WCB when a product fell on her head causing a concussion, and another coworker got blood poisoning from their failure to explain the risks of lead-based minerals. The owners spend the majority of their time managing their ego over their vision, and personal interest always comes before collective good. They told us the store was losing money so they had to pay us out of their savings, but can afford to buy a house and a boat on Vancouver Island and a helicopter. They intentionally use unclear communication to cover their own disorganization and to place the blame elsewhere. These people need their business license revoked for abusing their entire workforce. Even the customers are beginning to notice their arrogance and disrespect whenever they meet them. I am truly disgusted with this company's practices and will rejoice when they are finally closed indefinitely.
