The Ditch Cafe — Restaurant in Oliver

At this point, I visit at LEAST once a week.

I've been in town for just under a year and had a lot of fun trying the different shops. You're not hard pressed to find a quality cup of coffee here; most places carry the lovely locally roasted Wolf Tree blends. Even so, there's no contest when it comes to your bread-and-butter coffee shop.

The food steals the show here. Every time I try something new, it becomes a part of my regular rotation of orders. My favourite is the "breaky toasty." I've definitely spent over a hundred dollars by now, just ordering this sandwich over and over again. Every bite feels like the first.

You can compare the prices to a chain like Tim's all you want, but with the cost of everything these days and the sheer quality on display, it's unbelievable that they aren't charging twice as much for any of the food. They absolutely could too! There's nowhere else in town to get the selection of remarkable artisanal sandwiches available here.

Everything is seeped in a homestyle vibe which is woefully absent from the cafe scene in this day and age, they exceed in absolutely every category. I could never sufficiently sing its praises.

The incredible staff, the easy listening, the stellar food or the perfect cup of coffee. There's no doubt 'The Ditch' has taken its rightful place as the beating heart of Oliver, BC. You've got options sure, but 'The...

Best of the best!

Coffee, food, service, and overall vibes are ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Ownership and staff are absolutely some of the hardest working, friendliest, and kindest folks in the game.

Toasties are fire and enjoyable to order because the word “Toastie” is fun to say out loud. Also - don’t you dare miss out on the baked treats!

Personally speaking - The Kickstart Breakfast Muffin is the best muffin ever!

If you can imagine for a second that once upon a time a handsome carrot cake and a beautiful banana bread met on a baked goods dating app based on similar interests and core values. They immediately fell deeply for one another, and eventually (even though it might have been a bit fast) they consummated their passionate relationship by making sweet sweet consensual love in a fancy heart shaped stainless steel mixing bowl decorated with coconut flakes, mixed dried fruits, and nuts. Then - as a result of this beautiful union, approximately 25-30 minutes later, out from the 350 degree womb of the oven, a sweet baby breakfast love muffin was born into the world.

Treat yourself and get it warmed up. Also - sometimes - if you’re lucky - it has a...

We were in the Oliver area at lunch time. We read no reviews and just stopped literally at the first place we saw that looked like it served food. What a find! We had Caprese sandwiches and a salad. They were so good. The salad was great as well and came with a homemade vinaigrette. The young ladies that worked there were beyond friendly. I don't write a lot of reviews - so when I decided to write one for the Ditch cafe I discovered that it was rated 4.9 out of 5. I can see why. Its an...
