“End of the road culture. We love this store, its welcoming and prices are fair when you live in the country. As soon as you walk in there's a coffee bar or a couple chairs and a fireplace to enjoy a good read. They are super friendly and always leave you with a smile. We have been coming here for 10+ years from time to time. They still have a couple small businesses beside them one being a hair salon and the other a natural type place. I don't know specifically as we were there for the store. Also there is 2 different food trucks, one being a burger joint and the other a Vietnamese cuisine we haven't tried yet but will be ! There's a giant sasquatch statue that's pretty well done and worth the look while you picnic at the table right there. We enjoy shopping there and will continue being life customers lol.”

“Got a pizza the other day, got a large pepperoni, it tasted phenomenal, and came with such excellent service, i was very impressed by a specific worker there, Marley. The other workers were simply standing around talking to eachother while Marley took my order with a kind attitude and prepared my pizza.”

“Cute ice cream shop! We stopped in after going on a hike to Grass Lake. We popped in for a few ice cream cones and were surprised how many great options there were to choose from. It's great to grab some ice cream and enjoy it outside the front of the store. Definitely a refreshing place to stop after a day of being outside swimming and hiking!”

“The ONLY place to get food in Sooke after 9pm. Coming home late, need something fast, or working night shift/early morning, they have instant noodles, chips, sandwiches, fruit milk and soup etc. Even frozen food in the freezer. Truly open 24h as well I can show up at 2am and get something to eat.”
