    This coffee shop is unreliable for opening when they say they're going to open. I will no longer waste my time driving over there. Anytime you see zero employee retention, that should say a lot. Great coffee though

    Great staff, great coffee and pastries. They make a great breakfast sandwich on a croissant too! Definitely worth the trip to go check it out. They did a great job with the decor too.

    Jennifer, Patricia and Alberto are so sweet. The chocolate chip cookies are the best I`ve ever had! and the Scones are so fresh and moist. Love this place. So pretty and always fresh flowers which makes it my favourite cafe to go to.

  • 5/5 Fatty B. 2 years ago on Google
    I love those very freshly baked and the London Fog.
  • 1/5 Serafina J. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner Jen Cowan provides the absolute WORST customer service I have ever experienced. I have heard of many bad customer experiences with her but today got to experience it myself unfortunately. Someone who treats customers with such disrespect should NOT be the face of a local business in Nelson!
  • 5/5 Jai S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jonathan B. 5 years ago on Google
    Everything a cafe should be - quiet enough to get some work done but friendly enough to spark up a conversation. Nice tunes and great brews.
  • 5/5 Noah S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Armen M. 4 years ago on Google
    The best cafe in town for coffee simple breakfast. Quiet, peaceful setting and the friendliest owners. See you guys next summer:)
  • 5/5 Lucy L. 4 years ago on Google
    A truly locally owned and run neighborhood cafe... worth the walk/bike/drive A great array of coffees, teas, and summer drinks, liquor license, and of course the delectable pastries, sandwiches, other yummy treats. Glory and Dario are an asset to the community. They also have an eclectic art and decor, including a local Selkirk college metal sculpture artist.

😠 I wanted to love this place so much. It is so cute and seems to be so so popular. Unfortunately the coffee/cappuccino was some of the worst we’ve ever had…the coffee was incredibly weak and the milk and foam honestly horrendous…sorry to say this, but the girls behind the counter were super friendly...

😐 A unique shopping experience with a good selection of goods. But bring lots of $$$ as it's easily the most expensive grocery store in the area. Lots of overpriced merchandise for those with piles of disposable income.

👍👍 Wait's on Nelson was awesome. The waiter we had by the name of Tom was courteous, served us quickly and was knowledgeable with the menu. He ran the diner as if he owned it!
