It seems crazy that a luncheonette was our best restaurant experience in Bowen Island, but it was…read morethe only place where we found both great food and attentive service. The menu is wonderfully eclectic, the result of an Indian chef and Latin American kitchen staff. I really wanted to try one of the chicken dishes, but I'm not into thighs; I know they're trendy but I hate the texture. So I went for the Buddha Bowl, which was an amazing combination of spicy rice, stewed chickpeas, and fresh vegetables with an avocado-lime dressing. Oh my goodness, it was so interesting and delicious! My husband got the fried chicken bites with two different dipping sauces and loved them. My toddler requested avocado toast, so rather than ordering the $19 entree that came with fancy toppings she wouldn't eat, I asked for a side of toast, a side of avocado and a lemon wedge. She loved it, especially paired with a mango smoothie. Our server, whose name I sadly don't remember, was so . . . normal. She did not seat us directly in the blinding sunlight when there were tons of empty tables in the shade, or say "I'll be right back" and then disappear, or try to talk us into eating dessert at the table because it would be too hard to pack it up for us. (All of those things happened at other restaurants on the island that same week.) She was just genuinely interested in making our experience pleasant, which made it truly wonderful. Bonus: they have a stash of fleece blankets for the outside seats, which is perfect for overcast days.

Came here for brunch on a day trip to Bowen Island and shared a Yogi Benny with a friend. It was a…read moregood amount of food and I also got their soup of the day on the side. I really liked that the eggs are served on potato pancakes (latkas) which isn't common on brunch menus. The latkas were super crispy and it was super easy to share as there were two pieces. I love soups so their goat cheese and red pepper soup really hit the spot, I would definitely try more of their soups. The girl that took our orders was also super nice and we were able to get seated quickly for a party of 5 despite how busy it was.

We stopped by here while driving back from the Whistler area to Vancouver…read more A friend had recommended this spot to us as a nice spot to take a driving break and refuel - and clearly a lot of other people had the same idea, as it was pretty packed! A few people had laptops and books out and appeared quite settled in at the few tables inside. There was plenty of additional seating in the outdoor patio though, so we were able to quickly grab two seats. Service was super friendly. FOOD // We got a 12oz latte and a maple walnut donut to share. The donut was delicious - so fluffy! - and the latte was also made well, balanced and a good accompaniment to the donut. If we weren't so full, I would've been tempted to get another donut... Next time!

Great coffee and a friendly team serving as well.

The coffee shop hosts a bitcoin ATM and apparently they see quite a few victims come in to send money off to telephone confidence scammers. I jumped in to help explain the issue to the poor woman who was dealing with the callers (being in IT and dealing with business security as well). So I got a really nice latte *and we thwarted a virtual robbery attempt. I didn't get the barista names but she's worth a very very large tip.
