“Great building, amazing beer, and super welcoming tap room. This is my favourite brewery in Nelson by far. One of the brewers took the time to explain the new Joyride Juicy Pale Ale (experimental hops and all) to us along with getting large ToGo cans of low production gems like Forgot the Rum made my inner beer geek smile!!”

“I absolutely love this place. Oso Negro has such a cool atmosphere, great (strong) coffee and very friendly staff. I've come to Oso quite a few times and every time that I've been there, it's felt like a little piece of heaven on earth. The building and garden are stunning.
I've gotten a few different muffins from Oso and all of them have been scrumptious - they seem to often experiment with new flavours and combos which I think is great.
The coffee is definitely high quality. It's very strong and they don't have many options for sweeteners, so keep that in mind if you like your sweet fraps and lattes.

I tell any friends and family to stop by Oso when they're on their way through/to Nelson, for good reason! Truly a wonderful cafe.”

They catered services to meet our needs and provided advice and offered ideas to solve logistical challenges. Service was professional, she was kind and most importantly became quick friends my 20 month old daughter. I highly recommend Acorn and Oak and if you’re thinking about getting childcare for your kid or a group of kids at an event, you can’t go wrong here!”

Cake Betty 709 Vernon St, Nelson Bakery • $$

“I had the most delicious cake at my friends house the other day from Cake Betty. It was so wonderful that I feel compelled to write a review. Today I went to Cake Betty with another friend who bought the most beautiful small cake for a birthday gift. The owner gave us each a cupcake to enjoy. It was the best cupcake I’ve ever eaten - white cake with butter icing and a little bit of caramel sauce. So delicate and satisfying - I could have eaten three of them :)The bakery is so cute - like a tiny bakery in London, or the West Village. A lovely historical building with a sweet little store front. Go to Cake Betty - you will not be disappointed:)”

“Delightful, casual, local cafe with history in the area. Charlie & Daylen served us the featured sandwich (breakfast burrito) & our coffees. We probably could have shared the burrito it’s so hearty & big! Come with an appetite. They serve no.6 coffee (also a locally brewed brand) and feature a local artist on a gallery wall. A great spot for a Baker Street hang. I even stuck around to get some work done after my lunch meeting.”

“My first A&W here, I asked for something on the menu with substitutions and they were happy to accommodate. The wait was quite quick. The food quality was mixed, the sausage and patty was good but the bacon was quite greasy, dripping with grease every time I lifted my food. I’m not too sure if that’s a common thing with A&W, but overall I had a good experience and the food was tasty. I would visit an A&W again to try their non breakfast menu.
