Stopped here for the first time today. I got an oat latte which was tasty! Additionally they had a vegan wrap and treats :) I will definitely be back to try these items. Also a great place to sit outside as they have fire places.

Lovely little bistro right by the lake with a covered patio and fire pits for those chilly morning walks. Dogs are welcome with treats and all the wraps and sandwiches are made in house at the yacht club upstairs. Try the captain's breakfast, hearty and delicious.

We decided to try the gelato on a sunny day and it was worth it. They don’t have many flavours but they are tasty. Staff was really polite and friendly. Nice siting area facing the lake.

Really good coffee and an incredible location. Really nice place to stop if you’re in the area. We didn’t have any food but they had a pretty good sandwich selection that looked really tasty. Lots of people were getting by food so it must be good! Prices are a bit expensive but nothing out of the ordinary for a coffee shop like this.

How excited we were to discover that there’s actually an outdoor café along the waterfront by the Yacht Club that’s open to the public! While we didn’t need to take advantage of the fire places located around the patio, it’s good to know they’re available on chillier days. The view, of course, is spectacular, and staff very friendly. Food was delicious and thrilled to see vegan options. It’s a walk up counter inside with outdoor seating only. The perfect spot to enjoy their scrumptious gelato (favourite flavours include chocolate, pistachio, salted caramel) Thanks to Andrew from A Taste of Kelowna for introducing us to this wonderful little gem!

I was visiting family a couple weeks ago and found this beautiful gem. My children loved the food. The service was so good, I believe the server was named Julie she was so kind and sweet to my children helped my daughter pick out her food. Thank you will definitely be back
