Not this year, it appears management has changed and the service, cleanliness and quality of coffee and...food has deteriorated badly. We ordered our coffee and a muffin and paid. We asked for creamer as the carafe was empty and a young man grumbled something to us as we left. What we expected and received for our money was sour coffee and the most horrible muffins we had ever tasted. We threw it all away. There are much better place to buy a cup of coffee in Ucluelet but many establishments are only open at certain times and certain days of the week.

Grabbed a couple of coffees and a breakfast sandwich to go. The line moved quickly and we were on our way. This would be a great place to come and sit inside and relax. The coffee was excellent and the breakfast sandwich was very tasty. The staff was very friendly and chipper so early in the morning. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to spot as you drive up.

This cafe is definitely worth a visit. It can get busy at times, but that just goes to show how popular it is. The staff are friendly and welcoming. read more This cafe is definitely worth a visit.

The food and coffee at this charming little spot were excellent. The cinnamon bun was especially outstanding. read more The food and coffee at this charming little spot were excellent. The cinnamon bun was especially outstanding.
