The slowest service I can remember, I could have taken a nap I waited so long for a cup of loose leaf tea with the leaves still in the cup.

However - I found the menu set up a little overwhelming at first to read and slightly overpriced, especially the smoothies. I had the rice bowl with their in-house dressing. It was a nice portion of fresh yummy veggies, however; there was hardly any dressing on it and every bite was crunchy due to getting mostly dried up rice! (perhaps bottom of the rice cooker) The staff was friendly enough, but I'm not sure I'll be back.

Unfortunately it was a never-go-back experience...1 Service is not what you would call friendly - they are at best polite. 4 ladies behind the counter, all seemed to look after other urgent (?) tasks (like grinding bags of coffee beans) rather than serving customers. A quick 'I will be with you in a sec' would have done but that seemed to be too much. 2. The menu is at first sight quite appealing. Healthy food choices and freshly prepared. I ordered their pad thai zucchini pasta which stood out by it's pretty original taste and stomach cramps hours later (that said, cramps might have been caused by a personal intolerance of an ingredient - let's give them the benefit of doubt.) 3. The place looks really messy. I don't mind an owner's personal (alternative) taste, but let's not confuse that with dusty

Good potential for growth

Their burgers sandwiches come with huge portion of salads as one of the options, which is our favorite part of the meal here.Staff are friendly reasonably priced.Cute thing is that random kids' toys are given as their table number?Strongly recommended for a brunch lunch if you are stopping by Squmamish for a quick break!Parking: 2 hr free parking on both sides of the street

I wanted to support them so I thought I'd purchase a drink!The drink was awesome, a lemon chai iced drink. No complaints there! But quite honestly the staff were pretty dismissive and rude. Maybe just jaded from their upcoming closure? Who knows. I just didn't feel welcomed.Still sad to hear about the closure though. I heard it was a great community spot.

The food has always been average, but there was one dish on the menu that never let me down - the rice bowls. However, when I went to support them before they closed, the rice was extremely hard, so much so that even my two-year-old could have done a better job. It was the first time I had ordered food from a restaurant and found it to be inedible. I can't believe I spent $20 on that dish, took one bite, and ended up throwing it away.

The food was delicious, with generous portions that tasted fresh and homemade. The table markers were a fun touch as well.

There were many items that were intact gluten-free, but the staff recommended only the egg burrito as a celiac safe.

There have been a lot of fun safe treats available, but GF and vegan, DF, etc. I have a rice dish, it was much bigger than I expected! Her GF peanut butter chocolate chip cookie was sooooo good!
