This place is on the list of recommended food spots on Bowen Island, offering breakfast foods,…read moresandwiches and light bites. Nice view, friendly service, yummy foods and cozy ambiance makes for a relaxing cafe. Many locals come here to enjoy a soup and sandwich or simply to get a coffee and chill. It's nice & warm to sit by the fireplace to catch up with a friend. And it's a reasonably quiet space where you may find a spot by the window and work on your laptop. I enjoyed their soups and I also liked their pastries and breads. The Godfather sandwich was yummy and their focaccia breads are to my liking. They also have weekend specials which I would recommend trying as they are usually delicious. One of my favorite food combo here: lentil soup and quinoa salad. I find their healthy dishes here are quite good and I am not a huge fan of their "not so healthy" items or fried foods such as fries or chicken fingers. Their menu features a variety of drink options from hot teas to bubbly drinks, or you may choose to add a shot of Bailey or Kahlua to your coffees. Do budget ample time to dine here because they make your foods fresh to order plus there's usually a small line up. This is a cute spot to stop for a bite when visiting Artisan Square and worth the hike on a nice day. Approximately 5 min drive from Snug Cove and can park for free in the Artisan Square parking lot.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Alderwood. There are 3 main reasons why you would visit…read morethis location: 1. A wedding or special event. They host and plan weddings and special events, provide catering, and take care of all the small details for your special day. I have experienced their service first-hand working as a bartender and server at said events :) The guests gush with compliments and praise, and I am 100% decided that when I get married, it will be at Alderwood! The venue is breathtaking, and all the guests have this amazing glow as they watch their friends make their lifelong commitments on such a beautiful backdrop. I can't imagine that kind of experience anywhere else. 2. Their B&B. I haven't ever stayed in a B&B outside of Alderwood, and I only realized this week (while looking for one in Penticton) how unnaturally high Alderwood has set my expectations! The Alderwood B&B is a private wood cabin with an AMAZING walk-in shower, oversized showerhead, a murphy bed, beautiful tiled floors, architecturally interesting additions, and an adorable little kitchen. It's so affordable, too! On top of that, the farm owners serve you an amazing breakfast in the morning, you're surrounded by curious animals (emu, donkeys, muscovies), and just an incredible and warm atmosphere. Most B&Bs, as I am learning now, are just a room in someone's house! How disappointing compared to Alderwood. 3. Their butcher shop/store. Julie, one of the owners of the farm, is seriously knowledgeable about natural health and wellness, and it shows in her shop! She has everything you would ever want to feel good and enjoy your meal. Matcha tea, natural honey, local handmade products, spa items, pre-made meals, the BEST tiramisu you will EVER have, and so much more. I know that one might assume I'm biased having worked on Alderwood, but I am writing this without any prompt (and without the owners' knowledge). Because I have experienced everything they have to offer, and I've been continuously amazed, I had to review them!

At the last minute, two additional guests advised that they would be attending. Alison Smitten, Catering Coordinator, told me not to worry - AMF would increase the order accordingly.

Lovely little laminated cards with the name of each dish and its primary ingredients, and tiny wooden stands to put the cards in, were provided. Cocktail napkins were provided.
