Bay Village Coffee house brew tastes tremendous and will now become part of my weekly coffee rotation. They have a nice snack selection offering cookies, scones, brownies, doughnuts and muffins. Gluten free options are available as well. Get your order at the Bay Village walk up window, or park by the front door and a friendly masked face will take your order right at your vehicle. There is wheelchair accessible parking, as well as the entrance once indoor dining is eventually available. I do miss the atmosphere sitting inside. The price was a bit higher than I’m used to when ordering a sandwich and a cookie, and then I took a bite and realized where my money went. If there was anything that I would change, it would be one more layer of meat in the sandwich. They will also turn their sandwiches into a wrap if that’s what blows your hair back. FYI. If I were married, I would leave my wife for a Sweet Marie Bar. They are that good.

I'm a little sad it took me this long to try them out! The flat white and London fog were awesome. Breakfast sandwiches were tasty and filling. Staff was patient and friendly with everyone :)

I got an iced lattee with their homemade pumpkin spice flavour shot and it was absolutely delicious! Wayyy better than Tim Hortons. I highly recommend this coffee shop for any caffeine needs!

One of my favourite local gems. Whenever I'm in Thunder Bay, I make sure to stop by. Excellent, friendly service and great food. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee snack. Their scones are incredible!

Had a great oat milk latte here. My friend said this was a must see place and it was great. Staff were super friendly and talkative. Food looked delicious. Cool vibe. Next time I'm backing town I will stop by. Loved it and would recommend.
