Loved by Castlegar.
4.8 stars · Highly Recommended
My favourite coffee shop. They have the absolute best mochas, the chocolate sauce is heavenly. Staff and ownership are all so kind.
The staff clearly knew all the regulars by name and by drink. A good vibe for just sitting back and enjoying a good book.
An oldie but a goodie. I love the cozy seating and the patio is my favourite one in Castlegar. The coffee and service are amazing.
