This three-pronged business (craft shop upstairs, bookstore below decks) is Port Hardy's local hub, dispatching the best coffee north of Campbell River and serving flaky scones that you'll have to visit Tofino to emulate. Backing it all up are grilled pesto-flatbread sandwiches and service that is at once laid-back and efficient.
The cafe's book nook is a good place to stock up on inspiring reading matter for the long bus journey south.
