Nice basic but hardy sandwich available on gluten free bread. One of my go to stops when traveling through FSJ for a quick lunch.

The staff here are always super friendly and are happy to take your order. The food here for the most part is made in-house. The food is amazing! Their breakfast sandwiches are a great size for a quick breakfast on the go. You can't go wrong with any of their baked goods for a treat. Their coffee drinks are always great! The drive-thru isn't super obvious but is an option.

Review for online Tea orders: I'm from Quebec and was looking for a good quality and reliable company with lots of different choices and I found it here. I placed my first order a couple of months ago and have nothing to say but good things. I'm ordering again now, as I love their Mate Java Espresso. I've also ordered a few more to try. This is a winner company!!

The crew here are complete sweethearts. Very friendly, outgoing, and hard working. Service is quick and coffee is great. Initially a five star review but dropped down to four stars because they do not have Wi-Fi.

I didn't try the food to be honest, but I asked for recommendations on the coffee and after making my selection was very happy. I got the Toffee Nut coffee, but the Cinnamon Brown Sugar sounded great too. One of the best coffee I ever had, and would happily go back. The eating area looked busy too, and the food looked delicious so I'm thinking it was. And the staff there was wonderful too.
