Espresso Etc. - Merritt

Lovely little cafe that we stumbled upon on our way to Kelowna.

The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere, but the burgers were cooked too much and the smoothie lacked flavor.

We dropped by on our way to Corbett Lake Lodge for breakfast. If you're seeking a delicious and filling breakfast, this is the place to go.

The owner is rude. Waited half an hour for soggy French toast and burnt hash browns. It wasn't even busy. A for the bacon though.

It's a cozy spot with delicious coffee, but let me start on the food because that makes it worthwhile to go to. Discovered it after a visit to another local restaurant a few times which were good, but will always go back to Espresso Etc. The etc part of the name is what you want for sure. These people make their own baked goods, their bread (which is perfection,) they roast their own turkey and beef - none of that nitrate filled garbage you buy in many big name stores, their soups are delicious and they often have vegetarian too (for my husband.) Sadly this trip, I discovered it's up for sale. Hoping the new owners will do exactly what these 2 people have done, without many changes.
