We absolutely loved this place. We came for breakfast three out of fours days (and regretted the one day we didn’t come!), everything was wonderful. Very chill vibe, great food, and tons of books and records to browse when you’re done :) They also have gluten free alternatives for pretty much anything on the menu - gf waffles and sandwich pictured here. Highly recommend!

The food here is spectacular in general! The portions are generous, and the homemade jams, spreads, and sauces are SO GOOD! They share space with a wonderful bookstore, so save time for wandering the shelves. We had a Benedict and an omelet with a waffle. While the waffle itself wasn't special, everything else had us so happy.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. My steak was delicious. My friend unfortunately did not have the same experience as her soup came out bland and cold. The waitress also argued with her about the temperature. What happened to the customer being right??

One of the best meals in nelson

We came in 9 am only 2 other tables seated, didn’t bring menus for 20 minutes, forgot our drink order, asked what we want to order before we even had menus, had to be reminded twice for drinks finally received after 40 minutes. Food was great and fast from when we ordered. However somehow two books we bought at the store for a 3 year old were taken from our table while we shopped for more books. No one at book store or restaurant could find them.

I love this place. The breaky is done riiiiggt. Get them waffles with the berry sauce, maple syrup and whip cream. Dairy free option for all that and it's unreal. Good books. I saw a guy trim his toe nails in the science fiction isle once but it's really a great place

Great Service. Very creative Specials. Great place to meet friends! I always meet someone there who I haven't seen in a long time - definitely a High-Consciousness place !

TO THE OWNER:
Hire more waiting staff ASAP!
Having only two poor girls running around during a breakfast rush is crazy for the number of tables that you have!

Because the waitresses (who are really trying) are overwhelmed, the service is very slow, some customers expressed the feeling of being ignored (not seated), our drinks were forgotten (but taken off the bill, to be fair).

Omelette was a bit burned and dry as a result, but still tasted okay.

Unless they actually hire more staff, I would recommend staying away during peak hours if you don't want a "meh" experience.

Quirky little breakfast spot in Nelson. Food was hot, fresh and cooked to order. The bacon and mushroom savory crepe was delightful! Will return again when in

Have been here before and felt that it was time to leave a review. Got a seat with my son while we were waiting for mom to finish browsing in the bookstore. Friendly service and tasty food. The coffee was pretty good as well.
