Food Scene

I work at this lovely restaurant and market. Everything from the sausage to breads and baked goods are made in house, from scratch. Stop by for breakfast (their specialty), happy hour (great drinks!) and/or a quick snack or gift item from the market.

Nice coffee shop for working. You can get coffee or order from the full Crow's Nest menu (upstairs) and have them bring it down while you work in the coffee shop. Decent coffee drinks and yummy baked goods. Plentiful outlets.

Great market open year round (inside the Bingo hall in the winter). Full of fresh food from local farmers, bakers, artisans and makers of all kinds. A great place to pick up groceries or a snack, or just window shop and hang out.
