My father in law who knows a lot about wood was admiring that the cabin is made of cedar, the highest quality wood, and it was unfinished, as it is the most naturally weatherproof wood (though not perfect). There's a stream below where kids can play. Great way to end our hike. * Veggie sandwich - 4.5 stars. Bread very fresh and spongy with a thick crust. Veggies were super fresh and the hummus was a nice touch. * Ham sandwich - 3 stars. Same great bread, very minimalist, thick pieces of ham and cheese. * Cinnamon Roll - 4 stars. Very soft and fresh. * Balsamic Peach Spritzer - 4 stars, at first I thought it was a little bland and just like soda water, but as I got near the bottom, it was more sweet. Make sure to mix it!

There is seating all around the deck and then out back there are picnic tables and logs amongst the trails. And that's where the magic of it all stops. There are wasps everywhere. In the pastry cabinet, where people are sitting, dead in the windowsills, it's swarming with them and they are not deterred by a light swat away. They're as hungry as you are arriving. I got a golden latte and there was so much dry cinnamon or nutmeg on top my mouth dried out like the Saharan desert! It tasted awful but you know who loved it? The wasps. I ordered two of them with my wife adjacent to me and only one came out. So I kindly approached the staff about the missing beverage and they were forcefully adamant that I only ordered one. Why would I only order one beverage for two grown adults? How hard is it to say "oops we made a mistake/misunderstood?" So they made me go back to the register and pay for another drink which is just poor customer service and ultimately just a dumb decision when I didn't make the mistake in the first place. It's a self service place and I regret leaving a tip at all.

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.

Wonderful and timely service too - from accommodating our reservation time to offering an extra dish that was some result of an order error.

Right next to Backcountry I have bought many treats from here (as you can see this is a bakery) and the place is great.

One of my favorites is the pretzel they make, it is so good, and I just want to rip it apart every time I have it and I am driving away, I think... maybe I should have gotten an extra one. They serve coffee here as well, and sell loaf's of bread. The staff is great here as well, no seating inside, this is a place where you will occasionally line up, but it moves along fast, and it is so worth your while when you are here in Squamish.

My London Fog left a little to be desired, but that was but a small blemish in an otherwise excellent breakfast/brunch! If you are in Parksville I'd heartily recommend the Brazen Poppy Bakery Cafe.
