My husband and I stayed in Radium for 4 nights during our Canada trip. We got an early start most mornings and this cafe is the only place in town that opens up at 0600. Everything else doesn't open until 0700 or 0800. That early in the day only 2 staff members were present and they were SO kind!!! Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the lady who was working. I got the vibe that she may be the owner but I could be wrong. She was SO nice and welcoming to us as tourists and gave us lots of personal recommendations. Starting our mornings off here was a great way to start our day! My husband got the Americano and I got the vanilla latte. Both were delicious. We got the breakfast burrito and enjoyed it! I got the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and admit, it was a bit of a let down. The cinnamon roll was also (for me) because it seemed to have a caramel topping of sorts, and I personally don't like caramel (and I also don't expect it on a cinnamon roll, but maybe that's more common in Canada than it is back home?) We also got a chocolate croissant and it was pretty good, only I wish they had warmed it up. Overall, this place is a joy. It's a quick stop also, not a full sit down service restaurant if you're looking to just get on the road and start your day (but they do have plenty of space to sit and enjoy if you prefer.) Overall, I do recommend Big...
   Read moreI am giving it a 2 of 5 because I only ended up eating 2 1/2 things out of 5. I was excited to try out this little shop due to all the good reviews but sadly my experience was different. I came in asking if they had some soup available and saw that it came with a cinnamon couscous. I told the clerk I didn't like cinnamon that I could just take the soup. So i got myself their soup of the day and an egg salad sandwich with a meat pasty, slice of banana bread and a rice krispie square. I arrived home and tried the soup... there was cinnamon in it so I didn't eat it. I then go grab the egg salad sandwich but the bread was so so dry that I discarded the bread and had a little bit of the egg salad but this was also dry. I then reached for the banana bread as I was still hungry and all the edges were dry, i only ate the center of it. Still hungry I ate the meat pie and that was good and finally finished my "meal" with the krispie square which was my Fave. I tried to reach them to explain my experience but i...
   Read moreGreat spot to get your morning coffee fix. We had a dark roast, a mocha, a breakfast burrito (sausage, egg, peppers and cheese), 2 raspberry & white chocolate scones and a blueberry scone. Everything was delicious and the staff were friendly and the service was quick. We arrived with only one couple ahead of us. I could see it being a few minutes wait if there were 4 or 5 groups but I’d say the wait is worth it. They had lots of variety of baked goods, including vegan and gluten free options. They also had breakfast sandwiches and grab and go sandwiches for your travels. There was a staff member making fresh sandwiches to keep a few ahead in the display case as people were ordering. My burrito was super hearty and tasted great. My wife and daughter loved the scones and our coffee was spot on. I also noticed they had pies and pre made meals to take away. They had lots of sweets options as well. Give it a try and I think...
