Alternative Grounds in Burns Lake

If I could eat here everyday I would.

Excellent food and coffees/teas in a clean, calming environment.

Very good food, and an excellent alternative to french fries

As always had a good lunch .Pesto cranberry chicken sandwich is awesome .

Salad was $15 and was horribly underwhelming. Had the BLT chicken salad which had almost no chicken and maybe 1/10th of an avocado. Americano tasted bad. Was really expecting more.

I really like this little coffee shop. Theres nothing Ive had that I didnt like. There waffles could use a few more minutes thats my only complaint. Other then that its really good.

Great place for breakfast and lunch. The staff is very nice and the food is amazing.. great selection of teas and specialty drinks 😊

It is always great!! A great place to have breakfast or lunch!

Great cinnamon buns, a bit pricey but worthed to stop by, good coffee and baked goods , the only thing I found weird, they open at 9 am on Saturday, I thought if you running a coffee place where you serve breakfast you should open earlier but I guess people are ok with their hours since it started to be packed after 9 am

Great service and great coffee everytime i go

A cozy, welcoming breakfast and lunch restaurant to relax and unwind in while enjoying excellent homemade food and super friendly service.

Cute cozy space. They make wonderful lattes and delicious food. I just wish they were open earlier, small town problems.

Three StarsHaven’t been here for many years. Came in for lunch and a coffee. The West Coast Eggs Benedict was was good the fruit salad was mainly melon with a few bits of strawberry. The dark roast coffee tasted like a light roast. The atmosphere was pleasant however the owner was busy with other things and not interested in talking. Nobody asked me if I was enjoying my meal. So the food was good the ambiance was quiet. The coffee and staff wasn’t up to giving me what I expected

A bit on the pricey side, but decent food.

First time eating there, loved the pizza. Staff was friendly and helpful, definitely reccomend, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, organic, fair trade coffee, and meat for meat lovers. Little bit of everything, cozy little place, nice coffee shop atmosphere. Coffee is fantastic as well.

The food was beautiful and its a funky place to go for coffee.

Very cool environment with great coffee and excellent food

Great selection of teas, goodies, and food. Cheery snd helpful staff. Note: misto means a coffee beverage here

Great homemade burgers, tasty salads and the energy balls are addicting!

Great place. Usually when I work in Burns Lake I have to eat breaky at A&W. If you have the option check them out. Tasty, real food, always deeelicious. Extra cost for coffee refill a bummer but its good coffee. Also I wish they opened at 730am when Im in town lol

Great cinmomen buns, muffins coffee and tea. Also had an adult grilled cheese it was great.

The operating hours are not traveller friendly, but the coffee was excellent and the gluten free menu options were overwhelming for choice. This will be my go to stop in Burns Lake (if theyre openwhen Im travelling through.

Such good food! And delicious drinks. Have never been disappointed by the food nor the service.

Im from out of town and went here, the food was absolutely delicious! I will go there again!

Stopped here for Brunch with the family on our way through. The food was great! Totally worth the stop. Will be making a special stop on the way back!

Great place. Might be the best coffee shop to hit Burns Lake yet.

Fabulous breakfast menu. Scrumptious waffles and baking.

The breakfast skillet and sourdough bread is the best Ive ever had!

Awesome place :Great atmosphere, great food, coffee and staff.

Amazing little gem in a small town up north. So nice after a long trip from Alberta to be able to come in to such an awesome space for breakfast and amazing coffee. Great job

Fantastic food, exceptional coffees and super staff! Travelling through Burns Lake this summer, make sure to stop here.

All hot drinks are terrible. Already gave up on the coffee already a long time ago, they really need to do a barista training. But the tea was terrible too.Food seems to be okay, but had hit and miss on that too. Breakfast roll with hotdogs on it? And call it sausage...not okay.

Great service delicious everything! Even GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS. My daughter calls it burns Lakes starbucks

This place has the best drip coffee in northern BC. It is an absolute gem of a coffee shop that gets everything right. I go out of my way to stop here and enjoy their lovely java and a cool treat. Staff is always friendly. I noticed the last time I was in there they have a pay it forward wall of cards from customers that have bought for a future someone who may be tight on cash. A lovely idea that I have never seen anywhere else. Comfortable seating and lovely lighting make for a great place to read a book and people watch. Added bonus: across the street there is an electric car recharging station.

Pricey but awesome, healthy food and the staff is usually friendly

Amazing food and drinks and the staff is always super friendly. My favorite place to eat in Burns Lake.

Delicious food and drinks at a moderate expense. The place looks great, and it has a nice calm feel to it. If your planning to go at lunch, you should reserve a table as it can get very busy at those times, and because there is limited space. Service takes a few minutes to prepare, but is ultimately fast for the good quality food you receive. Very healthy with all kinds of food choices for people with dietary restrictions. Overall delicious food, at a good price, with great service and a nice environment.

Great food and prices, I loved the lamb burger.

The food was good and the quality of coffee was above normal. Good to see for Burns Lake.

Good food and a fair price. The helping is not large but it was enough. Farmers skillet and West coast eggs benny ordered on this trip. Tasty

Great coffee! The food is always great and fresh

Great food, comfortable atmosphere, and very friendly and helpful staff.

A little expensive and they arent open when they should be a lot. However, the food is great!

The coffee drinks and pizza are great, but they close a lot. They close every Sunday and Monday. Wish there was a Starbucks or Tim hortons in this town.

Awesome little cafe. Great sandwiches, pretty full sometimes but tables usually clear up relatively quickly.

Had a really delicious chicken pesto panini and a mango milkshake for lunch, both was really good. They have an extensive list of Italian soda flavors and milkshake flavors. Very cozy spot for lunch or coffee.

I Google restaurant in burns lake as we were traveling ,saw their rating and decided to go for breakfast.my husband had a skillet that came in a shallow 5"pan and a bottled beverage. I ordered the classic eggs Benny poached Hard..when my breakfast arrived, I tested my eggs they popped and ran (soft runningI asked if they could be microwaved,the did not have on so they threw the same eggs back into the water to cook.the eggs came back nice and hot but my had browns were the same and they were ice cold,they did not bother to replace the small amount of hash browns with fresh hot ones.my coffee was good since I poured it and re fills were $2I told the waitress.but nothing was done or said.since you pay for your meal up front.there was no offer of a refund or any other offer our breakfast bill was $38

Good food, friendly staff, clean facility, bit pricy. Overall great experience, drip coffee was good.

Deliberately turned off the internet to shove a couple of road-trippers out at lunch time... owner operator was really rude. Skip it Id say.

Healthy, delicious food served quick and hot; friendly, accommodating staff with a genuine interest in being the best. Great atmosphere, clean and quiet and relaxing. My top choice for a meal in Burns Lake!
