Stopped here for the famous bloody mary. We had heard through the grapevine that this is THE place for bloody marys specifically because they put a piece of bacon in it. =P As we walked in we were dodging people waiting for their name to be called. This is a pretty famous spot in the BC...have you seen their episode on Diners, Drivins and Dives??? Gotta check that shizzit out! One of the chefs literally cracks 180 eggs in 180 minutes! Whaaaat? He's a maniac!
Okay so back to the visit...The lady at the front greeted us with a smile. The place seemed a little chaotic I think just because it was so busy and it was 10:30am on a Saturday. So as we explain that we don't need to be seated to dine but were only here for a bloody mary. The girl pointed our way to the back. All the way to the back was a tiki looking bar. Funny being that we were at the "Coffee Cup" and there is a secret bar in the back. lol We ordered our 2 bloody marys to take with us to sit on their front patio. She filled the glasses with ice and then the vodka. Seriously the glass was half vodka! Then she poured the bloody mary mix on top. We asked it we could have it spicy and she said it was already pretty spicy so we just went with that. As she continued to add the little extras (celery, olive and a piece of BACON) I was checking out their décor. They have kind of a beachy theme going on displaying surf boards on the roof. Again kinda funny again hence the name of the place. I immediately think coffee and breakfast not so much being on a beach with a secret tiki bar in the back. lol I like it...kinda quirky. ;)
So we found a seat on the front patio. It was fun just sitting there people watching. Lots of different people there. I couldn't figure if most were tourists or not. I would imagine a lot of BC locals come here for breakfast. The restaurant is surrounded by a touristy strip mall with a lot of antique stores-if that's your thing.
The bloody mary was a little on the spicy side. I liked the kick. I'm not really a bloody mary girl and it was super strong. Each time either of us would take a sip our noses would automatically scrunch up. That is no joke! LOL I really just ordered it to say I had one. The BF on the other hand enjoyed his AND the half of mine. Needless to say he was a little loopy for the next hour till we had lunch. Cute little spot....we will be back but next time to eat!
