Dropped in for a coffee and a scone on a rainy Sunday. Both were delicious! Highly recommended coffee from Totem Roasters in VH! The ambiance in the shop is cozy and welcoming. Prices are very fair.

Nice shop on the main street of town of Vankleek Hill. Sells bakeries, ice-cream, coffee and drinks, plus, cute kitchen items (good for small bday, xmas or special occasion presents). It has a nice patio outside and a dining area inside.

We often make a detour to have lunch at that little place. They have great sandwiches, choice of salads, baked goods and coffee from a real espresso machine. Highly recommended for lunch. Service is at the counter. You will have the choice of eating on location or taking it to go.

Stopped here on our way from Montreal to Ottawa - specifically because this is an independent coffee shop and cafe and because it was mentioned in a recent Louise Penny book called The Grey Wolf. I got a turkey sandwich with Brie and cranberry and my wife had leek and potato soup and both were really good. I got a flat white which used coffee from a local roaster called Totem that was also quite good. The shop carries a few miscellaneous gift Knick knacks as well. Cozy spot and friendly service. Definitely recommend!

The most welcoming atmosphere, great taste, can't differentiate which one is better. Feel free to taste whatever you want. They are all very delicious. Coffee is amazing, not too strong, not burned taste nor weak flavor. Just perfect As a beekeeper, I appreciated the goods in their boutique, unique pieces.
