Federal Store - Vancouver

This place is adorableIt's such a cute storeWe walked by it when it was still a convenience store, but they sure did a lovely facelift on the place.

If avocado toast could be uplifted from a simple breakfast item, this would be it.

Cute little cafe with small eats and baked goods, as well as odds and ends your pantry and home may needHouseplants? YesOlive oil? Yes.

This friendly, cool little spot is well worth a visit. Its location just off Main St makes it a quiet oasis and comparatively easy to park if you're driving. The bread is baked daily and is made properly, without yeast. The coffee, food and comestibles are excellent and the service is spot on - thanks Erin!

We dropped in for an early lunch based on the good review in the local paper last week. This is a friendly place with an eclectic selection of (mostly organic) pasta sauces, jams and jellies, and so on for sale as well as a limited menu of fresh baked goodies and food. We had a chicken salad sandwich and a yam quiche both of which were excellent and well presented. Coffee was very nice and Earl Grey tea came with proper loose leaves and a decent sized pot. We did not try the sweet baked goods but they looked very tempting (next time). Parking is not easy in this neighborhood and there are a lot of dead ends for traffic control but it's worth the time to get there and enjoy (and support) these hard working nice people.
