Fridays from four, the patio turns into a little wine bar. A short list of BC natural wines by the glass, mostly from the Island and the Okanagan, with olives and our sourdough on the side. Dogs welcome, as always.

Good news for our vegan regulars. There's now a vegan shelf in the bake case every morning: a cardamom twist, a blueberry scone and an olive oil loaf. They go fast, so come before eleven.

Slow Tide Coffee Co. comes over from Salt Spring on the first Saturday of the month. Taste four coffees side by side, learn what to look for in a cup, and take a bag home at cost. Ten seats, so call ahead.

This weekend only: a raspberry and vanilla torte, layered and glazed in our kitchen. One slice is a treat. Two is a nap on the patio.

Thursdays from three to five on the patio. Half-price drip coffee for you, a free pup cup for them, and a full water bowl for everyone who walked up from the beach.
