Reviews of The Modern Bakeshop & Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Chris Andree

If I could I would give this place more stars, amazing little cage with great food.

Nicholas Milton

Had the pumpkin spice Chai. Was delightful. The place was busy and rightfully so. Has alot of charm and friendly service.

Dan Tait

Good coffee, smiling staff and delicious baked goods. If I can offer one piece of advice for travellers - Get the Ginger Elixir if you have a cold or need an immune boost! It’s delicious, and always makes me feel better. They make the elixirs in house and they come out piping hot - warm to hold on a cold day, and good for you. Bathrooms are clean. It does feel a bit tight inside The Modern, but the management and staff are doing well with the space they have.

It is in great place in Revelstoke with nice people, however I cannot give the latte taste 5/5

Pedro Márquez

Excellent in all senses. Two breakfast in my two days in Revelstoke and no words, 10/10. Don't miss it!!

Susan Pieters

Kindest baristas ever! Wonderful quiche, pastries excellent. I thought I ordered a matcha latte, when they came with a coffee latte they replaced it for free no questions asked! They took the trouble even though they were so busy. No wonder locals love this place.

Ron Hatch

Beautiful little cafe and bakery. Great coffee, a wide selection of delicious baked goods and lots of seating. There is also a big patio in front. Great place, open later than most in the area. Friendly and welcoming with nice clean washrooms. Definitely worth a visit if stopping by the beautiful downtown of historic Revelstoke.

Justin Zhou

Very nice place to visit. Food is delicious and greatly fits the vibe of modern cafe. Would recommend the quiche and meat pies. Give this place a visit!

Anne Parsons

The good... Good sized bakery with lots of choices of fresh bread, pastries, desserts, etc. They serve breakfast and lunch and have a few tables to sit at to dine inside, but they have a nice outdoor patio out front to dine al fresco. Service was really good as well! The bad... None! The ugly... None! Will return? Oh yes, for more breakfast sandwiches especially! Try the Farmer's Daughter egg sandwich—super good!

Mike Kennedy

Very flavorful food and chill atmosphere. The butter tarts are fantastic! Wide selection of sweet and savory pastries for every palate.

Heide Krause

Delicious lemon almond scone, and the cappuccino was perfect.

Katie Burrell

I just had lunch at this cafe and was blown away by the quality of the food. The soup of the day was gluten free, vegan and dairy free, a lemony split pea soup and it was fantastic! It came with a gluten free piece of bread, and I ordered a green salad as well, with their signature green goddess dressing. All of it was just delicious, and if you're looking for options for dietary needs, this is a great place to find lots of that! Their coffee was excellent as well, and local! Stoke Roasted coffee beans. Loved it!

Trevor Davies

Berry crumble was good. Staff weren’t wearing masks ???? which kind of weirds me out nowadays.

Bryan Birn

Good food. Good service. Good drinks. It gets very busy though, so make sure to arrive early if you want to eat. The daily specials are all home made and delicious! This is the perfect gem of a coffee shop for an outdoor based community!

Anthony Knezevic

Always on our stops when visiting Revelstoke. Cinnamon rolls and sausage rolls are awesome. It's popular so there is sometimes a bit of a wait.

Ash Pooley

Enjoyed a classic caramel latte on their patio, quite enjoyable. Food looks to die for! Went back for lunch, can confirm food is delish. Try the butter chicken bowl if you stop by.

Brittany MacLachlan

I was here today and I requested to have the charged chai espresso but on ice and this was the best thing I’ve ever tasted! My partner ordered the classic hot one and that was THE BEST chai latte we’ve ever had. The staff are always so friendly & I love how they support & feature local artists. The Modern is my favourite cafe in Revelstoke! Kudos to the young gent barista, you’re very talented ????????

Alex

Love this cafe! Our go to stop for desserts and baked goods, and coffee! Had a custom cake made here and it was so delicious!!

Shaylen Naidoo

Great meat pies! Tried the lamb curry and Aussie-style ground beef and gravy pies, very delicious! Despite Canada’s British heritage, it’s incredibly hard to find savoury pies, so it’s refreshing to find it done so well! I’ll be back for more, and to try the coffee next!

Mathilde Grasset

The Modern is my go to place. I like to go eat lunch there at least once a week. It's a great place to eat delicious food or drinks, meet some new people, relax on a saturday afternoon, read a good book with a really nice and warm cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate and enjoy one of their amazing treats. I can be a little crowded sometimes but it is nothing but proof of the extreme appeal of the place. The employees are always nice, and the place always feels like home. To me at least. Now it's your turn to try it for yourself, and completely fall in love with the place!

Sandrine Jacques

Great choice of treat. Coffee is delicious

Paul and Naomi Osborn

Wow! Great chai latte and bacon scone! Coffee thoughtfully prepared - so smooth and pared perfectly with the chocolate truffle. Great gluten-free options. Yum!! Gorgeous tables!! Just wow.

Amy Teng

So glad I came across this shop on our driving break! Super friendly service staff and delicious food. Makes you feel just at home! I got the curry lamb pie and my friend got the quiche. Both very good. Kinda wished I got something sweet for the road. Will remember this shop until next time! Thank you!!

Rich Teer

In the past few weeks I've had the pleasure of eating at The Modern Bakeshop and Cafe on two occasions, both of which exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend to sausage rolls and chocolate cake, both of which (like everything else served here) is baked fresh on premises. Kushal and his team do a fantastic job, so visit them soon! Your tastebuds will thank you... your waistline maybe not so much! :-)

Caitlin Unrau

Had an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and the cinnamon bun and enjoyed both thoroughly. The baristas were fantastic and I'm definitely stopping here again!

Alexa Freudigmann

Hands down the best coffee in Revy, and possibly one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. You’ll probably have to wait (the place is popular with tourists and locals) but I promise it’s worth it. Worth the detour in to Revelstoke even if you’re just passing through. The power cookie got me through the first 6km of the Eva lake hike! We’ll be back!

Mike Thomas

Amazing baked goods and coffee. Freshly baked bread backstops everything else about the Modern, but you’ll need to be quick as they sell out fast. Start with coffee, try some breakfast, then peruse the treats. Cheesecake, cinnamon buns, muffins, slices and cookies - how do you decide? There’s a lunch menu too, but really, who has room after cheesecake!

Grant Gallicano

They have the covid restrictions in place and are still able to supply great snacks and drinks with patio seating. It was a nice place to break in the day.

Dan Desroches

Very good! We had excellent coffees and cappuccinos plus a brownie and peanut butter bar.

Kevin

Great atmosphere and great quality of breakfast food and drinks. I recommend it.

Jade

Food was pretty good and my london fog was delicious. Girl taking orders forgot most of the food in our order but the barista making drinks was very friendly and brought our drinks out to us too.

Robo

A very convenient and and cozy coffee shop and bakery, the entire place feels like a home and it really makes you feel comfortable, everyone is very social and it's not too busy so it's quiet and nice. The food is amazing, it doesn't taste artificial, it taste natural and homemade. The choices are vast and I'm sure they'll have something you want, this is a hidden gem and I'd recommend anyone in town to come, or if you're driving to or back from Kelowna or Vancouver this is a great place to stop by

Amy Johnson

Wonderful bakery! They were great at accommodating a dairy and gluten allergy. Would recommend.

Briana Huether

Very yummy food, friendly staff, positive atmosphere, cute furnishings, decent prices.

disha khattri

Loved the service. I bought a brownie and it was delicious and different what I have eaten so far.

Tippi Barcelona

Food is alright!! Price is high! Staff is not very welcoming. Cold brew is bad! Home made iced tea is underwhelming.????????‍♀️

S. Johnson

Great latte. For vegan they had a falafel wrap or savoury turnover, some baked goods would've been nice.

Seraphina Angelus

The space is cute but noisy, even when only half-filled. My latte showed up with mediocre foam, and only faint coffee flavour. When the server/barista dropped it off (table delivery if you order cooked food) I said a cheerful thanks, and received no reply. About ten minutes later my breakfast croissant arrived, this time I got a "you're welcome," at least. The croissant was flaky and nice, but being toasted it was very messy. The scrambled egg as fluffy, but unseasoned, the sliced tomatoes fresh but flavourless, the slice of bacon very bland. Melted cheddar was undetectable, flavour-wise. The only condiment was mayo, which would be fine if the rest of the sandwich had flavour, but left it all incredibly bland. While sitting here, I did notice a significantly different attitude from the staff toward the locals, greeting them by name in many cases, smiling and friendly. Perhaps they just get tired of visitors and tourists? Either way, I'll check out a different cafe for breakfast tomorrow.

Jessica Hedrick

Good coffee!!! We had some egg burrito thing and it was okay. My daughter had a muffin that was outstanding! I would come here again for sure.

David

Great spot for coffee and food. We sometimes stop here when driving through and are always happy with the results. Can be very busy at lunch and there isn't a lot of room when it gets busy. Staff are always friendly. The wait for your food can be a bit long at times but nothing terrible. Definitely worth the visit.

Jeannie MacLachlan

Amazing cakes especially the carrot cake. Cozy place, great for hanging out or working in between ski runs

Anton Minayev

unreal chocolate croissant!! fresh!! fluffy! melts in your mouth!

Wayne Smith

My wife and I were checking out downtown Revelstoke when we came across this gem. We saw a line up out the door so had to have a look and we are sure glad we did. Great selection of pastries and breakfast items,as well as coffee of course. We split the breakfast croissant and a piece of carrot cake. We will definitely be going back here to try some more tasty treats.

Stewart Edwards

Stopped at this lovely local bake shop in Revelstoke on route to the Okanagan and it will most definitely be a shop we stop at again. They have a great vibe and lots if tasty lunch and breakfast options as well as delectable pastries and coffees. We got the chicken turnovers which were dense, flavourful and so enjoyable. They are practically a samosa and the perfect lunch portion. The pumpkin cream cheese loaf was an excellent blend of spices, pumpkin and cream cheese swirl and the cold brew was refreshing, well brewed for the perfect cold brew strength and we loved it. The baristas were so energetic and welcoming and this is definitely a stop worth making each time you are in the area.

Livewell Strength and Rehabilitation

Both the savoury and sweet treats were delicious but the espresso was one of the best I've ever had ????

Rushda Rubaia

I've only been there for a tea. Great place for cofee meetings. Nice patio. Friendly staff. Not a huge fan of desserts, so I wouldn't know how good the food is.

GWoo

Very popular spot in Revelstoke, baked goods look fantastic and the Americano was excellent. Great location with some tables outside. Unfortunately the server at the cash register seemed rude and was non helpful in taking my order, Getting a glass of water seemed awkward as it is a little confusing with the water station part way into the kitchen, also the WiFi seemed hard to connect but once in it was good.

Petr Maly

Best coffee we've had in a while!! Good selection of fresh sweets. Friendly, helpful staff, nice outdoor seating. Definitely recommended stop in Revelstoke.

BJ Smith

Unreal selection of delicious muffins (we had the blueberry and nectarine/blackberry), and the best cinnamon buns I've had. The coffee is great too. We had an Americano and a hot chocolate and both were top notch. Fast service too, considering how popular it was!

Matthew Godfrey

I stopped by The Modern this morning for a coffee and treat. I have always enjoyed this little gem of a café and thought I would provide a review that may assist the bakeshop in developing their team and approach to customer service. When we popped in today we were cautious (the global pandemic thing) only to find an unmasked woman blocking the only means of ordering and chatting at length about her friend who has a mountain bike or something. We waited as we thought she was still ordering. The woman working behind the counter just stood there with her mouth open, which I find to be quite typical of customer service in the Nelson to Revelstoke corridor. No movement. No life. Just gapped right out. After about five minutes we asked if we could order and this brought the café employee back to our world. She took our order and then handed us our coffees. No pleasantries. No anything. I just stood there for a while, again, and then asked if she would be getting the pastries I ordered “oh yeah…forgot”, but there was no one in line and she wasn’t doing anything. I just don’t get it. People come in with money to spend and have to deal with this kind of staffing. On another note, the pastries/food are always delicious and I will totes be going back but would go anywhere else comparable if I didn't have to deal with the gapper-style approach to customer service.

We have visited this place many times on road trips taking us through Revelstoke, mostly recently this past September. It impressed us very much the first time, years ago, and it hasn't failed us since. The food has always been good quality, with lots of variety, the cafe is in an old building so it's got lots of character, which I like, and they have outdoors seating. I just wish they were open 7 days a week because we've driven through on occasion and couldn't visit it.

Gambit

Stopped in for a coffee on our way from BC to Alberta. Big mistake. The machiato I got sucked. It was literally a cup of syrup that I tossed out. The gluten free brownie we got seemed stale, so much so that we had to throw it away. Literally, we threw away over $10. Avoid this place.

Chanel Hatuka

Great coffee. Scones are DYNAMITE (seriously best ones I've ever had)! Delicious desserts and so many good breakfast options. Staff are sooo nice - super friendly and make you feel right at home! Beautiful artwork displays supporting local talent. just a very lovely place overall :)

Jason McKenzie

Great soy-milk latte. Some good vegan food options available as well.

OJ H

One of the best cinnamon buns I’ve ever had. Great coffee and service too.

Chronica Jones

Stopped for a latte and baked yums. Latte was strong and delish. Ladies work their are so genuine and happy to help. Butter tart tasted like something you'd get in France????

Pasha B

Fantastic local gem. Very nice stuff! Everything from food to pastries to drinks is incredible. Loved everything about this cafe.

Rebekah Wirch

Grabbed a latte and cupcake to go. It was a great afternoon pick me up.

Kat

It's ok. Crazy busy. We came because of the good reviews. Place is cute, and the dessert I had was good and looked awesome. The quiche, ham and cheese, was just ok. The vegetarian quiche we had tasted like water. My London fog tea was probably the worst I ever had. Made with cold milk and barely steeped it was not enjoyable. Try a different cafe.

Brent Sellers

Well worth the short wait in line. The food is fresh and delicious, the desserts are decedent! The staff are welcoming and service is quick, the facilities are clean and very nice. My only note would be that the patio area out front is situated around trees that have grates around their trunks. Be careful not to let your chair leg slip into one of these... It happened to us and nearly cause a fall.

Anne Lindsay

Awesome. The baked goods were delicious, the soups and chilis were hearty and the staff was thoughtful. A great stop on a chilly day.

Devin Howard

Delicious food. Only thing for me is I have never seen the employees wearing a mask. Pretty tight quarters in the store and given the recent outbreaks in downtown its disappointing to see no change in percautions at the cafe. I will continue to come, wearing my mask.

Jeremy Cooper

Carrot cake was awesome and the homemade bread was soooooo good. We had some meat pastries that were very tasty as welll

Wang Alan

Modern decor, nice atmosphere and good food! I love how u can see how clean their prep kitchen is and retro cafe feel with old music. Looks like many locals r here. A hidden gem indeed!

D Sharma-Sluz

Our coffee and dessert was fantastic, can't complain!

Joanne Hart

Love the gluten free items. So tasty

Andrea Quinton

Delicious baked goods! Friendly efficient service!

Warren Robertson

WOW….I was a lucky visitor to come across this place this morning. Super Awesome coffee and baked goods (Carrot Cake)!!! The staff are great here and it is a must stop for anyone blessed to be in the area. I am definitely jealous of the locals. Great Job all and thank you!!

Fiona Scott

Great place for a proper coffee experience. The cranberry and pumpkin muffins are excellent as, it seems, so is everything else. You may have to wait a short while, but it's well worth it.

Thea Gresley-Jones

While traveling to Calgary I stopped in Revelstoke at The Modern Bakeshop and I'm so glad I did! It was fantastic! The staff and atmosphere are welcoming. There is a great selection of food including an AMAZING pot pie. I'll be sure to make The Modern Bakeshop a regular stop!
