Cher pour ce que c'est. Les sandwichs sont simple, sans trop de recherche. 9 a 12$ le sandwich. Enfin bon on paie le vue, qui est magnifique.

Fantastic stop along the highway. We got a tuna melt and a smoked salmon quiche. The owner was so sweet. We also got an apple fritter and that was INCREDIBLE! The view was nice to sit and enjoy a bite to eat.

Just read a bogus review underneath and I have to put my say in!!! It’s an exceptional store with exceptional staff and my experience of it was absolutely wonderful. I understand people have bad days but it is uncalled for to single out a shop and write a bad review picking apart your day on a shop. Uncalled for. And if my memory serves me well the chicken pesto sambo, the tuna melt and the breakfast wrap are MUST tries!!! And the beef sausage rolls hehe… And do not skip the lavender latte, the pumpkin spice or the caramel macchiato. You can’t go wrong here. 🩷

Pleasantly surprised when I pulled off the highway for a coffee and to check out this Lions bay store I had driven by. So awesome staff Simone was so friendly. What a view. Worth the stop it's just up the hill and to the left and your there.

Great spot for a coffee and sandwich. Local Craft Beer and Wines for sale in liquor store. Restrooms spotless - all you have to do is buy something. Seems fair to me. People complaining they can’t use the restroom is because they are not buying anything. The business needs income to pay for supplies for the toilet- toilet tissue and cleaning supplies. Support your local cafe at Lions Bay and purchase something if you want to use the restroom!

Little general store & cafe that is worth a stop if you are heading from Vancouver up to Squamish/Whistler.

I already was planning on driving up north to Squamish so I knew I wanted to stop here since I remember getting a really good scone here a few years back. I made sure to download the offline Google map before heading out because I know service is spotty in the area.

As the name states the place is a combined general (convenience) story and cafe. It has a parking lot right at front so parking is easy. I went with a caramel macchiato & the only scone that was left which was cheese scone. I'm pretty sure the place gets limited fresh backed goods and all the good ones sell out earlier in the morning. It was afternoon so pickings were limited & sadly my scone was a little stale. Luckily the caramel macchiato made up for it. It was a really good balance of balanced sweetness from the caramel & what tasted like med/dark toast coffee. Nice, hot & flavorful on a cold day. It was even more enjoyable because the counter top/bar seating faces the water outside.

Aside from the usual cafe, they also sell local beer which you can even enjoy outside if you so please. The general store part contains many of usual goods you'd usually find. I don't have a photo but they had this spicy ketchup chip that was very good.

Oh & if you do make this stop (& you should) be sure to check out the nearby "waterfall." It's to your right as you exit.the store, just up the little hill. It's worth the short walk.

I plan to go to Whistler the next time I'm in Vancouver and I also plan to stop here once again.

Cannot speak for the services they offer, only to what they did not: a restroom. Understand its probably quite irritating to have people trying to use your store as a restroom stop but it is the only business open in the evening for 15ish minutes either direction, so having an answer for where a restroom is available nearby or at least being kind about denying the request feels to me a minimum given the business’s location. Were quite mean and unhelpful, and we were in a desperate situation. Left a bad taste in our mouth.
