Dropped by here for some delicious sour beers prior to picking up our dinner for the night. There was really cute live music and the bartenders were very friendly and welcoming. Would love to revisit sometime!
Their suggestions for the sour beer were stellar, we had apricot sours and they were lip-smackingly tart.

Staff are super friendly and responsible. I ordered Mac and Cheese and ice tea. A staff told me I have to wait for a bit longer because they just cooking macaroni. And after quite a while, I have no idea because I was enjoying my book, the staff check in with me and told me they waived the charges of Mac and Cheese because they are sorry for keep me wait. I will revisit the cafe for sure. Yummy food and excellent service.
Love the vibe of this place

Great building and atmosphere. Had the French toast, bagel and lox, which was so good and the breakfast plate. Eggs, bacon toast, avocado. Bacon was way over done.

Stopped in for a sneaky pint on a hot afternoon. Who’s your bartender? Super friendly dude with backwards hat who gave us a couple delicious beers & superb service. Chilled a glass for me too & brought it to our table. Wanna return soon.

If you are in Nanaimo, you gotta get here for brunch or coffee. If you make it here, do try their Nanaimo bars - the best I've had!

The atmosphere is the best part about this gem. The refurbished bank turned artsy cafe is a real vibe. Their food isn’t all that far behind as their lox was excellent and fun mugs for their brewed coffee.

Don’t bother come in when they’re busy. I understand they were understaffed, and that speaks to the long wait of 30minutes. I wished they told us about the long wait when I made my order. Instead, my mate had to ask to find out. Also, the food was more than disappointing. The wedges were basically charcoal wrapped for all three orders of ours. They tasted foul due to grease. The portion of the side salad was less than a bite. Bacon strips were beyond crispy. The entire experience was underwhelming.
