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.

Stopped into this bright cafe about 3pm on a Saturrday looking for a light lunch. Opted to sit in the patio garden which was very pleasant. Menu was limited consisting of an all day breakfast, two soups and several wraps and sandwiches. My wife and I opted for the signature turkey and brie wrap and a cup of soup. Soup was tasty and wrap was served with the minimum of garnish and quite small. For $15.00 we thought it a little steep.Service was good, however there was only one other table occupied.Menu is limited, I would probably opt for the all day breakfast if visiting again.Restaurant is attractive and nicely decorated with lots of light and open air feel.Location on the Chemainus road a little north of Chemainus situated in the old Saltaire Railway Station

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