Base Camp

British Columbia


The town's quintessential community coffee hangout has, no doubt, served as base camp for many energetic Sunshine Coast excursions judging by the breakfasts – be it the maple granola parfait or the curried tofu scramble. The communal tables are great for eavesdropping and the large local map on the wall will help get you oriented while you enjoy the java.

Check ahead for weekend live music and be sure to peruse the walls for art.
