The pride that we have in our work extends to our food every bit as much as our beverages. We believe that food should be a fun and sensory experience. It should smell good, look good and taste good.
We serve both breakfast (all day) and lunch at the cafe.
The majority of our menu is made in-house with the remainder coming from other fabulous suppliers on the Island, Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.
We are happy to serve light meals and snacks, all of which fit into our “comfort food” concept. We have a daily soup or stew (homemade), sandwiches, mac & cheese, salads and an assortment of sweet things to tempt your tastebuds. We try to keep our menu seasonal, serving what is plentiful and flavourful during each season.
