Awesome homemade food and the owner is working very hard! I really appreciate good honest food and I will be back!

Tina
Wow. Haven't been here in a while and wondering what the heck took me so long! Amazing service and I felt truly nourished. Thank you.

Irina
Best hidden little gem in Nanaimo! Everything homemade and it tastes amazing. The cakes are to die for, airy and light. I always have a piece of cake before the delicious soup and sandwich just to make sure I have room for it, then take 1/2 a sandwich home 🙂 GO HERE!

Peggy
I always eat here when visiting Nanaimo. The food is excellent made with fresh ingredients and great taste. Salads and sandwiches are my favourite especially the wild sole. Cakes are very good although I don't usually have room for them.
