Good food, okay coffee…read more I've had the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito and both were delicious, although the breakfast sandwich is a bit on the heavy side from all the cheesy goodness so maybe try something else if you're looking for something lighter. Coffee is okay - comparable to Starbucks. There is lots of seating inside. Service is very friendly. It does feel a bit dim in terms of lighting. Overall a very solid spot to grab some lunch/brunch.

I didn't order coffee from here but I did order a few breakfast items as well as a fruit smoothie,…read moreall of which were delicious and of high quality. Especially the fruit smoothie, it tasted very fruity and I was definitely sad when I wasn't able to have any more of it when I finished. I sadly do not remember the name, but I'm pretty sure any of the fruit smoothies you can order from here would be all excellent. One star is taken off because I do find the prices a bit on the high side in retrospect to other coffee shops in the area, but i'd come back again otherwise. I especially enjoyed how homey the cafe felt inside. Friendly service too, just like what you'd expect out of small town BC

The gluten-free brownie was absolutely delicious, and the woman who served it was very sweet to us…read more The grilled ham and cheese sandwich was very cheesy and good. The Chicken BLAT on pumpernickel was enormous! I also tried the hot chocolate- which was great- and the unsweetened whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles were phenomenal! I loved the latte too, the cinnamon and chocolate sprinkles on top were amazing. The decor somehow reminded me of the old tv show, Northern Exposure. It felt like there were many local tales playing out with the staff and regulars, if only you could be a fly on the wall for long enough. This café could be the location for a tv show. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. I liked it a lot. What brought me there was it's proximity to the ferry. The bill wasn't cheap, but I felt like the food was totally worth it. It wasn't very fast, but again, the high quality food more than made up for it.

Really great bakery. Really great pizza. What a nice satisfying local place to eat. We will be back.read more

My favorite spot in Powell River…read more Best coffee I've found in Powell River (significantly better coffee than River City). They use a lighter roast with some acidity which is my general preference (no burnt taste), and they make a very solid cappuccino. Baked goods are also quality and they do tasty sandwiches with fresh and seasonal ingredients. It's $15 for a sandwich, with 25% off for day-old sandwiches (which is such a great idea from a food sustainability perspective). Ambiance has a cool hipster vibe with big windows, lots of natural light, and wooden tables. It's a great place to get some work done or catch up with a friend. Service is always friendly and polite. They also have a gift shop with local artists' work to peruse. Great spot. I come here every time I'm in town.

This review is for the inn, which is above the grocery store…read more The set-up was confusing at first because checking in for lodging (I'd made a last minute reservation via Expedia) is done at the grocery store cash register. There were no problems with the check in, but I was initially perplexed by the lack of a traditional inn office. I was given my keys by a nice young woman at the cash register, and told how to access the room. The lodging was good. Very modern and very clean. More like a nice apartment than a hotel or inn. Large and spacious; provides room for individual privacy if traveling with others. Nice kitchen with all needed pans, dishes, utensils and appliances. Very attractive kitchen cupboards and set up. Kitchen island makes food preparation easy. Our unit had two bathrooms and two bedrooms in a separate room with a closeable door. Washer and dryer and detergent. Balcony. No reading lights in the bedrooms or common areas, like the living room; only overhead lights throughout. Bring an itty-bitty book light, if you plan on doing any reading. Not enough furniture to lounge in (just one small couch and no comfy chairs). No chairs in the bedrooms. The store downstairs is very good and ridiculously convenient. Ample off-street parking for both the inn and the market. The inn is on Highway 101, which is good for the store below, but is not a particularly charming setting. The sound of passing vehicles is loud, occasionally very loud when souped up pick-ups are going up the hill. Speaking of noise, our neighbors were having a holiday party and we had no idea because the walls are so well insulated. Very nice, that.

Breakfast was included with our hotel stay, so of course we are going to take advantage of it. Edie…read moreRae's Cafe is a very small place that serves breakfast and brunch with limited hours. It's inside the Old Courthouse Inn, which is a place you should stay in Powell River. Built in 1939, it's decorated in that era, and it's fantastic in my opinion. The restaurant has a series of photographs that are black and white on the walls, and are not to be missed. The service was prompt and attentive, although to be fair there were only two tables occupied. The food is straight forward, well cooked, tasty and comes out promptly and hot. Bacon and eggs, potatoes and toast along with tea, nothing better in the AM for us. Would most definitely stay at the hotel again and enjoy their breakfast!

We decided to sit at the patio to enjoy the warm weather. There is a swing at one side which is fun for both adults and kids. Our server was fantastic! Friendly and very accommodating. Some of us were sharing dishes and he managed to get the orders right and came with extra plates and napkins etc. I shared an eggs Ben (Figgy Linda) and small pancakes (Chase's cakes) with my friend. It was the perfect portion to try the egg Benny and pancakes. The food was very yummy and well executed with fluffy soft pancakes and runny yolk for the eggs. If you like history, go inside and explore. There's even a resident ghost playing the piano every hour. Unfortunately I didn't get to hear it.

I'm a bit stunned to see that this hotel has such a low review average. My stay here exceeded…read moreexpectations and I was satisfied with it. The staff here are very friendly and will go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay here. The room was quite comfortable, spacious, and relatively clean. Sure, maybe it was a bit dated, but it still got the job very well done in the end. As long as it gets the job done, I personally don't care. The beds were easy to get a good night sleep on and the hotel is very quiet, which is great. Laundry service is available, however, they do not have self-serve washing machines. They take care of the laundry for you for $10 per service, which I must say is quite reasonable. Honestly, I like how they take care of the laundry for you so you don't have to worry about it. The biggest plus for me is that there is an elevator on the property should you need it to go up to the second floor. That's a HUGE plus. Location is excellent, you can get to pretty much any store from the hotel in walking distance. I would stay here again for sure if my travels took me up to Powell River in the future.

My friend had the Spring rolls and Wonton soup, all made in house and was amazing! My other friend had the Eggs Benedict with hand cubed hash browns, or you can have shredded. I had the 6oz housemade hamburger with onion rings. The relish on it was very good. The menu has lots to choose from and the have daily menu specials. One thing I noticed is they do half orders which is great especially considering the size of the meals a half order would be a big meal from some people. Highly recommend Julie's. You won't be disappointed and you definitely won't leave hungry!

I believe this restaurant is open 7 days a week which isn't a given in Powell River and the serve…read morebreakfast until they close at 3! We had breakfast here about 11:30 on a Monday and were surprised when asked if we had reservations as it's a very casual diner style restaurant. It did get busy so keep that in mind and maybe call ahead. Great atmosphere with model planes hanging from the ceiling, and delicious coffee. My breakfast was decent but not spectacular (bacon, eggs, hash and French Toast). They do shredded hash browns here which is nice but they were a little undercooked and a little on the small size portion wise. My sister's omelette was bland and overcooked. That being said I'd go back for the cool decor and maybe try lunch next time. I called a couple of days before to enquire about their hours and that person was super friendly but the staff weren't the friendliest when we actually ate there. Not rude, just not very warm or welcoming (maybe because we didn't have reservations!).
