Aside from an inviting outdoor spot in town to sit down and relax, the only thing this place has going for it is the selection of baked goods. The apple fritter was probably the best thing in the menu, while honorable mention goes to the lemon loaf.

I was a customer before at the old Molly's Reach, after having watched The Beachcombers on CBC television for many years, so I am very excited to hear this thrilling news. There's so much history behind this place! The owners wrote on their website: "We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us over the years and made the Black Bean Cafe feel like home. We can't wait to welcome you back and see all your familiar faces at Molly's Reach!" Thanks David and Becca for continuing your cafe legacy and preserving the iconic landmark on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast. We can't wait to see what you have in store for the new location!

I ordered their Turkey brie sandwich and a sourdough blueberry cinnamon bun. Their sandwich portions are generous. I would say there was a good amount of turkey and brie. The sandwich was super flavorful and satisfying. The sandwich came with plain kettle chips, which I'm not normally a fan of but I was surprised by how good they were. I took the sourdough blueberry cinnamon bun to go, so that I could warm it up once I got home. The bun was absolutely massive. Definitely wouldn't have been able to finish both my sandwich and the pastry all in one go. The icing ratio was adequate, but it could have used more blueberries. Overall a decent pastry.

The drive itself led us to an incredible bay that genuinely felt like we'd been transported to Alaska--calm, wild, and breathtaking--and then there was this cozy little gem waiting for us. Any place named after a dog and so welcoming to dogs instantly wins my heart. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, even though the place was bustling with happy locals and travelers alike. Every pastry in the case looked beautiful and tempting, making it nearly impossible to choose. The coffee, though--absolutely perfect. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what you want on a crisp morning adventure. Goldie's felt like one of those special finds you don't plan for but remember long after. If you're anywhere nearby, it's a must-stop.

Starbuck's was Mr. B's favorite for coffee and we prefer the smaller independently owned coffee shops and Fox and Oak is a gem. Located in downtown Squamish, really on the outskirts of downtown. This tiny little spot has a long bar with seating and then a lovely patio. The staff at the register taking orders both times was so friendly, helpful and offered great recommendations. On our first visit it was a latte for Mr. B and a Chai Latte for me, both were creamy, filled with rich flavor without being bitter. We also shared a maple walnut donut. Oh it was so good. I can't say the last time I had a donut, but when in Canada, maple anything is always so good. The donut was light and had a lovely maple glaze on the top and then toasted walnuts. So good! On our second visit, we had the same drinks, the same Maple Walnut Donut and added a blueberry fritter. The fritter was crunchy on the outside, after the first bite we could see the layers of dough much like a croissant and in the middle were loads of fresh blueberries. Wow, fresh berries and not a sweet fake blueberry gel. It truly was scrumptious. Parking is on the street and can be tight, but both times we found parking even with a short walk. Which was good to walk off our donuts and pastries.

Opting for the Basted Basic, you can't mess up a solid plate including a nicely sized biscuit, a good portion of bacon, perfectly poached eggs and freshly mashed avocado. Wifey enjoyed her eggs benny, while my son was just happy to receive a squishy pig toy with his Piglet Pack (kids meal). They also have so baked sweet or savory pastries to go as well. There is both limited internal and outdoor seating, so I could imagine how packed it can be at peak hours. Order at the counter, and they'll deliver your items, and bus your own table (one of the workers graciously offered to do it for us).
