Over $15 for a BLAT but all you get is bum and lettuce. I’ve been coming here for years but lately the value of money given vs food revived has been absolutely poor. These sandwiches used to be huge and on par for what you pay for. Now. Lots of lettuce. A thin slice of tomato, paper thin bacon and brown avo. Beware. You’ll leave hungry and broke.

We stopped by for a quick breakfast, and I have to say everything was good—their muffins really have something extra

Atmosphere is great. Went in Nov and hoping they would have the wood stove going in glass atrium. Would have enjoyed sitting in there but had to settle for inside, which was pretty busy.

Ridiculously slow service, and it's not just one or two visits. Consistently 15-20+ minutes for a latte.
As well, lattes are generally weak, as if the shots aren't tamped properly or something.

Many better coffees in town that are faster.

Overall, this place is fine! The coffee was fine, the service was fine, and the ambiance is fine. It seems to be The place all of the trendy young people hang out for average coffee to complete their schoolwork.
Not the best latte in Nelson, but I’m certain it’s not the worst

Great coffee shop! Great coffee!
The Salted Dark Chocolate Cookie is amazing look at the size of that!

The baristas were lovely, vibes were great. Love the outdoor sitting area, 100% will be back next time we are in town.

Baked goods amazing, coffee awesome. Best breakfast sandwich I've had in a while. Capocollo with caramelized onions, some tasty hollandaise. Wow. Not my first visit and I will be back. And I'll tell anyone and everyone. Awesome.
