Visited over the weekend. Place was very busy. Staff were friendly and professional. Had no tables but got us seated at the high counter which was fine with us. No real delay even though it was busy. Nice atmosphere. Breakfast was very underwhelming unfortunately. Ordered the full Irish with no mushrooms - got a full Irish with mushrooms. The bacon was so salty that it was practically inedible. Beans were tasteless and the coffee very bland. Sourdough bread was lovely though. This wasn't just me - went with friends and our general concensus was the breakfast was pretty disappointing. Would give it another go as it may have been a bad day due to how busy it was.

Tasty foodCoffee
I had a delightful lunch date with my family! I had been eager to dine at this establishment, and it exceeded my expectations. I savored the fish tacos, which were exceptionally flavorful, particularly the mango salsa. The waffle chicken stack was also well-seasoned and delicious. The laksa special is highly recommended. The portions were generous. There is an outdoor seating area, which allowed our small paw-buddy companion to enjoy the ambiance as well.
It is a wonderful casual dining establishment with reasonable prices. The staff members were courteous, and the restrooms were adequately clean. However, I would kindly suggest that the tables be wiped before seating customers in the future.
The Creel hash was bursting with favour! Got a Dirty Vanilla Chai Latte! Also delicious
