One of the highlights of Port Moody is its charming cafes, many of which are small businesses run by individuals and families. Among them is a success story of a Ukrainian girl in BC—a cozy café on the main street with stunning views, delightful weekend brunches, and an outstanding bakery.
Starting at 7 a.m., the café attracts customers right after opening. Choose a cozy table near the counter to savor the aroma of fresh pastries or one by the window to watch the day unfold.
From Monday to Friday, the café offers a tempting array of baked goods and drinks. Their butter croissants are simply exceptional and pair beautifully with sweet and savory treats. Enjoy breakfast with a salmon croissant or a cheesy veggie sandwich. Classic scones, along with unique flavors like white chocolate orange and blueberry lemon, are definitely worth trying. Kids will love the giant breakfast cookies served with warm milk.
Weekends bring a special treat as the kitchen prepares hot breakfasts. A standout dish on the local menu is shakshuka, a delicious and healthy egg-based option to start your day. The signature toasts, like Croque Monsieur or beet hummus with avocado, are highly recommended and served on freshly baked sourdough bread.
Lastly, don't miss the café's Syrnyky — sweet cottage cheese pancakes served with sour cream and jam. This nostalgic classic, rich in vanilla flavor, evokes the warmth of home and childhood.
And yes, this place has speciality coffee. Have a decent espresso here!
