On our way to the West Coast, we like to stop here and grab a coffee and a snack. It's a charming, vintage-themed destination known for its eclectic mix of high-quality coffee, retro nostalgia, and locally crafted goods.

The interior takes a step back in time with a 1950s-inspired theme with retro decor, nostalgic signage, and repurposed vintage furniture that creates a "walk back in time" feel.

Designed as a "reincarnation" of one of the area's earliest general stores, it functions as a relaxed space where visitors can linger over board games and cards.

They serve Fernwood Roastery Coffee (roasted in Victoria) and are highly praised for their espresso drinks, lattes, and caramel macchiatos.

Partnered with local Wildflower Bakery to offer fresh-baked goods like muffins, scones, and pastries.

Features an old-fashioned candy counter with retro sweets (like goldmine gum and lick-and-dips) and a selection of frozen yogurt with various fruit and candy toppings.

Offers frozen pre-made meals such as lasagna, ziti, and soups for those on the go.

The store acts as a showcase for the Alberni Valley's local artisans, offering a rotating selection of handmade items, like lavender-infused soaps, candles, knitted hats, and stained glass. Local artworks, charcuterie boards, and unique gifts like felted mushroom creations.

They carry a limited selection of snacks and local grocery items as well.
