A little pricey for the quality but not bad.DRINK: Not ordered.CLEANLINESS: Good.SERVICE: The service regardless of anything else is what prompts me to give this place a 1 star rating. As soon as we entered things already felt off. We ended up ordering, sat down, and ate. We also needed to use the washroom but they rudely said they have no public washrooms (just 1 for them). I found this ridiculous as their sign cites public health guidelines but this hasn't been a thing for quite a while since mid-covid. Personally I think they just want to save the effort in cleaning and the money needed for soap, toilet paper, etc. Either way, they were rudely refused and then I sat back down to finish my food. We finished our food about 10 minutes later and continued to chat. Within 5 minutes we were being awkwardly stared at which promoted us to leave within a few minutes. Reading through previous reviews I realized that they used to have a sign that stated to leave after finishing your food, so the vibe made sense in hindsight. Having travelled all across small town BC i have spent hours in cafes chatting with owners, friends, etc. This cafe caught me so off-gaurd with their lack of hospitality. Even a busy franchised cafe doesn't make you feel like you need to leave after 15 minutes. Especially after spending $30 there. Reading other reviews some people had great experiences, which genuinely shocked me. So my guess is it's either dependent on the workers in the back (we had 2 females) or the demographic/familiarity of the customers. Either way, if you're passing through I would recommend fully steering clear of this place.PAYMENT METHOD: Cash debit only.
