Delicious coffee and a great selection of treats for breakfast! The music also isn't too loud so seems like a great place read or get some work done.

Breakfast was one of the best I have ever had - the Benny’s were on point as well as the smoothie and ice coffee. Highly recommended! Great service and amazing chef!

I love the environment here! Breakfast is very limited on Salt Spring but thankful this place is open early for your convenience. I’m not really one for coffee but the coffee here goes down as one of the best coffees in the world. The place was modern and cozy. Lots of locals seem to come here often. I love the designs on each item as well in the place. Friendly staff as well.

Very good spot for a coffee in Ganges. Lots of tables with a variety of seating configurations (tables, high tables, community seating, etc). Cappuccino was really good, and staff are friendly. Lots of locals here...you really get a sense of the diverse mix of people that make up Saltspring Island here. Interesting people-watching spot, thriving cafe. 2 thumbs up

We grabbed some breakfast buns here. Delicious, thick sliced bacon on a ciabatta bun, which holds its form well throughout the experience. Beautifully spacious interior with a few, well maintained bathrooms at the back. Perfect place to grab something on the go or to sit down and study or catch up with friends.

Great spot for awesome coffee. Big space and has an outdoor patio. The coffee is done well, even with latte art. Cool vibe. Gets a bit busy tho.

Really good place for lunch, coffee (of course), and pastries. Love their selections of items. Their Burrito was amazing! Beef dip sandwich was really good as well. There is not a bad thing here, so no worries when you order! You will not regret it if you come.

This cafe is quite popular and tends to be busy most of the time, which speaks to its quality. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere remains lively and enjoyable. The coffee is good, and the staff manages the flow efficiently, ensuring that service stays quick and friendly. It’s a great spot if you don’t mind a bit of hustle and bustle and enjoy being in a vibrant, energetic environment.
