Rave!
The Roxy Cafe in Vernon is nothing short of a town gem! The establishment sits unassuming among a tapestry of other quaint businesses populating the area.
Once inside you'll be met with modern, big city style that melds harmoniously with small-town warmth, and welcome. The grey walls are complimented perfectly by white trim, and the rustic wooden floors give pause of appreciation to the modest cafe's stylish presentation.
Gently cascading throughout the shop is a wonderous conjure of enticing aromas — breakfast meeting with lunch while offering delectable enjoyments of sweets and other baked goods.
To first timers, such as my forty-year-old self, the coffee menu can seem daunting at first glance, but the cafe's employees are pleasantly eager and willing to help guide you through.
I landed on a London Fog, and have ZERO qualms in proclaiming that it was THE best London Fog I have enjoyed to date!
For their food offerings, my introspective call to breakfast demanded that I try their famed, Break-Wich Sandwich — and once more I'll pontificate — it was rapturously delicious. All the staples of a good breakfast are swaddled between two pillow-like pieces of artisanal bread. Glorious.
Among the carefully selected decor of muted colours, sits a small rainbow flag, humbly declaring that any and all are welcome here.
If you're in Vernon, do not miss out on the chance to stop in and visit one of the best coffee shops I have ever been to.
Thank you, Roxy, for the hospitality, and satiating...

This was my first time here. I saw Fancy Fries and bought it. It came to $15.75 after tax.
The bowl was much bigger than expected. I thought it would be a small bowl and lean more into a veggie poutine taste, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
Overall, 5/5 and I can't wait to try some of the vegan options on the menu.
For tourists outside of Canada who are having a tough time with understanding tipping culture: You don't tip at cafés as they don't do table service other than bring you your food, but you can give a small tip after the meal to show appreciation here. All stores, fast food, and restaurants give you the option to tip if you...
   Read moreToday, I had to go to Nolan's and behind Nolan's is Roxy's cafe which I hadn't tried yet. However I was just in for a coffee stop, and grabbed myself a cinnamon bun to go. While I was drinking my coffee this trendy cafe was buzzing with positive energy and the line was going out the door. There is also a nice Sun deck sitting area outside Roxy's cafe however I chose to sit inside. I also appreciated the self-serve water with large Lemon 🍋 floating in the water. Observing the customers I overheard other customers share their favorite dishes as well as how they learned of Roxy's cafe. It is definitely a place that I would wish to go back to and try their lunches being sandwiches or salads and many more options to...
