The birch bay cafe

Bike rentals and kayak rentals are super easy and fast to get. The service is epic and the people working here are polite. They plan to re open the kitchen soonish.

I have given this establishment 3 stars in hopes that they usually do better.

My husband and I drove through town looking for a quick bite to eat (something to go) on a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon. When we arrived the employee working informed us that her boss was gone and that she was out of many food materials to make the items on the menu. She went on to say that it would be easier for her to list what she "could" make. I quickly asked if she had any soup. Luckily, that was something she had (chili and chowder). It took her a couple of minutes to find the right containers and then the lids to fit them. We were getting a little frustrated at the amount of time this took. However, the soup was good. The coffee stand inside was closed down and that was also a little disappointing.

Having said that, the employee was very polite and the soup was good. As this was our first time going there, I am not sure if this is a common occurrence that they are out of things on the menu or that the coffee shop was closed when the restaurant is open.

Along with indoor seating, they do have a nice covered area outside to sit and enjoy the weather, rain or shine!

Beautiful view and balmy breezes right on the beach. Great food too.

Highly recommend the corned beef hash with side of blueberry pancakes.

Nice little place. We actually spent a couple of hours here just killing time. Nothing special about the food and a little pricey but a nice atmosphere. We were able to sit and play some provided games. Kids were entertained and we had a relaxing afternoon.
