Food was..So mid. Like idk what happened but I’ve been to “interesting” spots but from the water, to the food, my appetite was like, gone after trying anything.. My shrimp salad was not what I expected. Barely any dressing(it’s not tossed in dressing, which is a miss…) just was thinly drizzled on top of the overly dough coated shrimp, and also the shrimps were so disappointing, the eggs and even avocado was… idk that whole plate was like, unpleasant. The jalapeño poppers were also completely over doughed up then the chilli was room temperature and the Brie cheese fig pear sandwich was underwhelming. I had like, such high ups but hey maybe the stuff we had order was just…blah. Maybe other dishes are better- but I did ask for recommendations and THOSE dishes were said to be some favorites,

i never post negative reviews, especially not for local businesses, but the food i got today was absolutely vile (and our first visit here was also not good). my husband and i ordered a very basic omelette platter and grilled cheese at an off time of day (2pm). we placed the order online and it was a twenty minute wait for pickup, which was fine. we went to get it 20 minutes later and it wasn’t done, which is also fine - we worked in the service industry for years so we are very understanding in that regard. it wasn’t done for another 20 minutes after that, which was definitely annoying but it wouldn’t have mattered if the food was good. the grilled cheese was fine, but my omelette was not only not what i ordered, but it was so undercooked that there was just an unmelted piece of american

Extraordinary experience! Went to the Pumpkin Festival with my daughter, decided to have brunch before the Festival, definitely going back! Service outstanding! the food delicious and fresh, home made taste, best coffee and fresh juice! Children’s with disabilities friendly, and more importantly KINDNESS is served at this amazing Cafe!

Came here on a rainy day while we were visiting from out of town and sat at the counter. We got cappuccinos and flavored lattes. We played UNO and ordered curly fries, crystal style avocado toast and brioche French toast. The service was fantastic, very friendly and personable.

It's not easy to find decent food in Vernon, and while this wasn't terrible, the search continues. The Millennial Chum and I stopped by here for lunch this past Saturday after building up an appetite ziplining at nearby Mountain Creek. The menu was large with almost a diner-like quality (not a bad thing), and I was in the mood for some avocado toast specifically. It was a very nice day and I would have been perfectly fine with the outdoor seating situation off to the side of the building, but the Millennial Chum was very taken by the interior and declared we had to seat in there. It was fine - it looked like it had been recently renovated/done, but also had a dash of quaint country store to it. Not to an extreme level like a Cracker Barrel, but it's a pleasant vibe. I was kind of impress
