My mom and my wife both make the best pastry in the world (yes they both do) but these treats were crispy, flakey, light and oh so delicious. Ample fillings and top notch pastry combined to provide very satisfying snacks. Fantastic selection of muffins, breads, buns and baked goods with a warm, inviting staff that has an obvious love of their trade. Thanks for feeding us on our adventure.

I had the Avocado Toast, my husband had the Scramble Sandwich. Both delicious and generous portions. Tasty coffee too! The dessert display case had some delicious looking in house made treats and bread. I definitely want to go back one day to try lunch or dinner and a dessert! Would highly recommend.

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.

Such good pizza! We ordered two. We just devoured the Fig and Chevre pizza. The crust is…read moreperfect, not too thick, thin, or chewy - but just right.

On our family trip, my wife a constant searcher for a good Scone and Baked Pastry, saw the sign for this place as we drove between Qualicum Beach and other sights to be seen. In that, we quickly looked them up, and saw they have been around for a long time (1995), and give ourselves a waypoint to stop on our drive back to our holiday rental. So when you drive up, you feel like you might be traveling to a farm house, which happens to be a bakery. The vibes definitely put you into that mood. On our occasion, it was a mild but warn day, and people were outside on their stone patio having baked good, so maybe we were in for a treat. Upon entering, you are in a small room, just enough for a few things on the side, then the case of goods, front of center. They were well stocked with lots of delights, and breads too. Sausage rolls, scones, cookies, bars, and cake slices. Today, we got a couple sausage rolls and a scone... and let's just say, each was proper delicious. That said, we were in the out, because as we stared ordering, a line of people started to show up, and we quickly paid and left. So is it worth coming, sure. Is it delicious, yes.

It makes me wonder: if this is how you treat customers, how do you treat and train your staff? Customer service starts at the top, and attitude speaks volumes. My nervous system has learned to recognize when an environment doesn't feel right, and mine says STAY AWAY! Good food means very little when it's served with a side of attitude.

In addition to many types of meat pies, they serve a daily soup (was Leek), daily sweet pies (that day, rhubarb), sweet white rolls, and cookies/sweets.

The chicken pie I got was delicious and such a rare comfort food for a quick lunch on the road, that I felt compelled to share! My pie came with a delicious sweet white roll... and I took home a slice of rhubarb! Everything was very very good. Will stop by for a frozen meat pie next time !
