Reviews

Fabulous little place for great home cooked food and excellent vibes.

Food was very natural tasting and not artificial like having been prepped hours before. Nice private quiet patio out back. Looks like family run which is nice to see.. and prices are on point if not really good for what you get we had the breakfast bagel and Buffalo chicken wrap.

We got the farmer’s waffle and an iced mocha. The portion of the farmer’s waffle is very generous and comes with a side of salsa and maple syrup. The salsa in particular is a nice touch, it’s a great palate cleanser between savory bites. Very reasonably priced. Also the whipped cream is delicious!

First time visit. it's a very small, honestly retro (not fake) sort of little mom and pop diner. the service was awesome, the prices are so reasonably low it is restores your faith in the restaurant experience, and the place while not fancy is very clean. Homemade burger with a ton of fries for $12.50......you can't do that at a fast food joint. Salad was loaded with cranberries and nuts and bacon....Tea was $1. and the people were genuinely really nice. why go elsewhere....

Really something special here. A warm and welcoming retro style cafe. The service is fast and friendly, the portions are affordable and delicious. It's difficult to find places like this nowadays. Really an outstanding establishment that I would highly recommend!

I had the best time at James' Twisted Mint! The team is super friendly and full of humor, making the whole experience so much fun. My friend and I enjoyed our drinks, and the best part was when the server brought us free popcorn with a smile and just told us to enjoy—it was such a sweet touch! I hadn’t been for a while, but once I came back to Courtenay, I knew I had to stop by this cute little spot. It’s perfect for chatting with friends in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. One thing I regret is being too full before I came, so I couldn’t finish their famous milkshake. I’ll definitely be back next time to try it properly!

All day breakfast! Sign me up! My son had a delicious and filling breakfast sandwich. I had a breakfast wrap with home fries. The super fresh food really hit the spot.
