Courtyard Coffee — Restaurant in Qualicum Beach

*Edit - I accept and appreciate the apology and willingness to discuss the issue with staff to ensure it doesn't happen to someone else.

My wife and I came in with our 2 daughters to meet her mom, sibling, and their partner for brunch on Dec 24. We all got drinks and food. I tipped 20% on the drinks and 15% on the food. My 5 yr old daughter didn't eat much of her quesadilla, but really enjoyed the 2 slices of blood orange on the side. I went and asked the staff if they could spare a few more slices.

Cheesy, with eggs, crispy hashbrowns and bacon, and delicious sausage as well, I loved it :)

Definitely a lovely little cafe! And a perfect...

It was my first time going here, and I had a very bad impression. I asked for a double shot of espresso on ice with oat milk, but with these simple instructions, none of the staff understood. While they were making my drinks, I heard them talking and making fun of my order, like there's nothing funny about my order. This lady gave me my order and let me pour the oat milk into my cup. Clearly there's miscommunication, but after I poured the oat milk, she turned back on me and gave me this attitude. Also, I paid for a cheese & croissant, but they gave me a plain croissant only i noticed when I...
