L	Liam McNeil on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Perfect place to grab a good coffee in Port! Local, independent, and featuring Vancouver Island products. Easy access on your way to or from the west coast.
S	Shelley Hodgson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cutee place!! Love all the updates the new owners did. We tried the London fog and Caramel macchiato and both were delicious
E	Ernie Urdal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Relaxed and spacious atmosphere, breathing new life into the original corner store that occupied the space since the 30's. Generous tribute to local artists and vibe of the area. Friendly and skilled staff, with healthy, tasty snacks for people with dietary restrictions. It's a pleasure to have this calibre of business adding to the revitalization of Port Alberni.
N	Nishat Gupta on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cozy, friendly service, and great coffee - everything you need from a café! We ordered a latte, london fog, and chai latte and they were all really good. This place is definitely a hidden gem!
c	caleb behn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chris (owner i met today) made this place by hand and alone over more than a year. Reclaimed materials from a heritage building and so much character (ask about the counter). Outstanding Van Island roasted coffee and teas with a great selection of local ethical goods. A new gem in Port and easy to get in/out of on the road to Tuff. Highly recommended.
L	Lisa K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cozy coffee stop with a great ambience! Good coffee and baked goods. There is a small corner exhibiting masterpieces of local artists. We couldn't leave without picking up a couple of gifts. If you are in the area, stop by and you won't regret.
C	Cory Gunter-Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been anxiously waiting for this place to (re-)open. Well worth the wait. The owners are very welcoming and very community oriented. The coffee: I am not a professional coffee critic but, as with everyone, I know what I like. I have had a cappuccino and an americano using their house blend. The flavour brings me back to the pre-Star****s days as well as before the Tim’s explosion. A good tasting roast, not burnt, not overly acidic or bitter. A good tasting and enjoyable cup of coffee. I was not even tempted to add any sweetener. I regret not taking the time to look at the other offering in the store section but I was told that the products are all local. So glad to have a regular coffee shop in town.
L	Lise S. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a cute little spot! Good coffee, with all the basic espresso-based drinks that a cafe should have. There are a few tasty and high quality baked goods as far as food selection. They have only been open for a few months, but having a larger selection of these, if not going the extra step of serving lunch, would be a great way to expand. There is also a variety of local products - fresh frozen ready to bake meals, locally made chilled beverages, lots of loose leaf teas and dried herbs, T-shirts and carvings and hats… They’ve created a very nice ambiance with a mixture of repurposed and modern furniture and art from local artists. Will definitely be back.
