We stopped in for a coffee & a mocha. The 2 staff members were friendly. The cafe was an old train station at one time. The decor is very modern and classy. They are closed for 2 days mid-week and close fairly early as well. On a few weekend nights per month they offer a set dinner menu and I believe that reservations are recommended.

Trendy food - a little pricey for lunch - Service was very slow - Chowder was very watery, we were expecting a cream base - quaint atmosphere - outdoor seating in a garden setting - not likely to return

I went with a girlfriend - our start to a girls' day out. Could not have chosen any better!My friend had a wrap - they serve a lot of wraps - which was grilled and decadent. Perfect. I had a cheese, ham and tomato omelette. This is one of the best omelette's I've ever had. They were out of their cheesy scalloped potatoes, which are a house specialty and served even with breakfast.The bill was about $40 which is very affordable for this divine breakfast.I would love to return for lunch for their homemade soup. Next trip to Chemainus.

We had our Saltair community dinner at the Dayliner including about 25 people.

We ventured north beyond our base in Chemainus into the Saltair district to try the Mediterranean-style dinner at The Dayliner.
