Reviews of Hot Shots Café (Fruit Store)

Ryan Schuck

Wonderful.... excellent food and fun

Nicol McArthur

Love this place. Staff are always happy and friendly. Prices are decent and food/drinks are really good. Even had them cater our Christmas luncheon for work last Christmas. Comfortable atmosphere to relax with a coffee, read a book or just study for that exam coming up.

Dean

A real unexpected gem! Diverse menu, was surprised to find Thai on the menu and it was very good. Love this place, love the atmosphere / decor, will definitely be back several times I suspect.

Angelina Jacobs

Friendly service, stopped for coffee and breakfast on my way further West. Breakfast pita was delicious with a side of potatoes.

Mark Livingston

Super modern, very urban! I love it.

Douglas Long

family and I were driving, so we ordered online as we approached Cranbrook while I was driving my wife ordered online, it was very easy to order. The cafe is super close to the main road, going and picking up the food was only about a 5 minute detour. Well worth it, the food is always excellent there. Every-time I drive through Cranbrook I make a point to stop at hot shots.

Matthew Line

Tasty food (I had the sweet chili tofu friendly wrap). Friendly service. Not super fast, but of course it isn't a fast food place.

Colton Pinchin

Awesome food. Great selection for a coffee shop. Really impressed to find a place like this in Cranbrook. Highly recommend

Iain MacLeod

Excellent drinks including the best blended coffee drinks anywhere! Try the Strung Out Squirrel! Excellent Thai dishes and lots of tasty other options too!

Ceviche Laguna

Always excellent. The build your own hot wraps have been around forever and never disappoint. Great coffee, and wonderful staff.

Scott Rutherford

Awesome restaurant! Very creative menu. Our bowls were outstanding. The staff approached us and explained their concept which was appreciated. We'll be back!

Beth Wik

Although Hot Shots is rather noisy, the food is absolutely delicious, and their drinks are superb. My favourites are their Ice Cappuccinos and their salads. Portions are quite large and tasty, although a little expensive. Overall, Hot Shots is a fabulous place to go if you don't mind the noise.

Chris Botterill

If you're coming to Cranbrook and you're looking for a great place to have a hot cup of coffee in a bustling environment this would probably be one of the places you want to add to your list. The menu is excellent here, the food is fresh, flavorful, and the staff always serve you with a friendly smile. This is a good place for business meetings with clients that enjoy a fun and dynamic environment. The patio was improved a couple of years ago and is also quite a nice place to hang out on a sunny warm day.

Mieke Little

The oat muffins are the best muffins I've ever had. The coffee and food is consistently great, the staff are very friendly and this place is exceptionally managed. Thank you Hot Shots!!

Shift Lift Live

Lively and fun atmosphere. The black bean hash was amazing and a really good latte. Great people working there!

Granden and Myra Bertrand

Hot shots is a great place for breakfast lunch dinner and snacks. Coffee is great, tea is even better. My wife and kid love the mixed drinks, and in the winter the mulled wine is excellent. The breakfast hash is my favorite, along with all the tasty treats. A good selection of gluten free stuff too, the gluten free muffins very good.

Toothy Giant

Way to over priced, and it takes forever to get your food! Plus the portions are for people who weigh 50 lbs and are 1ft 2in. Terrible. However, it tastes good and, depending on what you get, can fill you up

Philippe Lurol

This double feature location features a Thai restaurant, called Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant, and an upscale coffee house (hot shots) serving near perfect coffees, lattes and cappuccinos as well as smoothies, teas and hot chocolates, They also have home style baked goods. I have been in this restaurant multiple times and never disappointed. Whether I go on a date and order some coffee drinks, or I want a Thai culinary experience, this place has yet to let me down. The food is good and affordable. perhaps a bit more upscale then your average coffee shop, but then again, this place is a bit more upscale then the average coffee shop. The ambiance is great and friendly, the staff are active and efficient, the managers are approachable and the seats are comfortable. There is a patio, a drive through for those in a rush, this place has it all. This place is great for gatherings, dates, friendly re-unions, or simply for working on homework or playing online (there is free WiFi) I personally will be sure to return in the near future.

Cindy Nagel

Great atmosphere with a nice outdoor patio. Good menu with choices for breakfast or lunch. Good service, quick to order at the counter and food/drinks are brought to you.

Alexandrine Groleau

Amazing coffee thank you!

Jennifer Lynn Bolster

I live in Victoria, BC and this is the best cafe I've ever been to in my life

Andrew Martin

Hot Shots Cafe is a must stop in Cranbrook. Best coffee in town and consistently amazing food. Have not had a menu item that disappoints. Baked oatmeal is ridiculous.

Rebecca Sullivan

Always go here for a guaranteed great hot chocolate and for their Asian/Asian fusion dishes . I've never had a meal or drink here that didnt amaze the taste buds ????

Joe Losby

Yummy breakfast and the cold brew was some of the best I've ever had. The coffee ice is a nice touch.

Harmeet singh

I like their teriyaki chicken bowl! Love seeing Raj there????

Stewart Minns

Delicious from start to finish ! They serve from breakfast to light suppers and a varied menu. Try their thai soups and curries fabulous. Friendly service, clean and comfortable. You got to eat here the coffee is also great.

Henry Hamilton

Great eats, nice atmosphere. It's a busy place but they usually have quite a good sized team on staff to get things done.

Paul Rimmer

I had the green curry with rice and it was fantastic. Not cheap but pretty good for small town BC. Wifi was also good. A busy, trendy place with lots of families stopping by for lunch.

Jade Law

The quality is unmatched! They have some of the best food in this town . However , the inconveniences I always have when I order from here make me remove 2 stars from otherwise a 5 star business . Almost every single time I order there is a mistake . They either forget to put something on my wrap or they forget to give me my drink and I have to wait an extra 5 for them to get organized and have it ready . They should not have an online ordering system if they don’t know how to use it . Today for example . I got a confirmation text saying when to come pick my order up and when we arrived they claimed they never got the order and we had to sit there and wait for them to re make the whole order ... it’s just getting ridiculous the amount of screw ups. Friendly staff and great food and drinks tho ! :)

Stefanie Kimmitt

Always quality service and beverages; morning, noon, and night. Exceptional service AFTER close when the door was unlocked and we didnt realize the time they still made our hot chocolates even after they cleaned the espresso machine. Amazing customer service! Bunch of HOT SHOTS!!

kris erickson

Often visit here for a coffee. Great place and staff is always friendly. Food is good as well.

Dustin Keller

Food is always great and the servers are friendly

Steve Morrison

Such a great place to grab a bite from the eclectic menu choice which pair well from the numerous specialty coffees and drinks.☕ Perfect spot to take a friend for a nosh and chat in a friendly, laidback environment . ????

Brad Flinders

The kitchen is always creating the most appetizing aromas - tasty dishes too! Excellent special coffee drinks, and every time I've been, I've had friendly service. 6 stars.

Craig Carey

Super friendly service and made fresh food with diverse options. I love how they froth the milk to have with your porridge. The curries and salads are also healthy and tasty. Great coffee and teas too.

Marcia Seager

Had the French toast, super delicious but huge portions so maybe get it to share!! Lots of yummy options to eat though!

Ava MacLean

Afaik, Hot Shots is the only cafe in the area that has BIPOC staff. Their inclusivity, (coupled with excellent food and service), is what makes this my favourite cafe in Cranbrook.

Laura Gold

Pretty patio flowers - delicious breakfast and great coffee! Mini order of breakfast was still satisfying and generously portioned.

Zane Novak

Excellent food. Very fresh. Pet friendly patio. Highly recommend.

Aaron Kroontje

First time visiting on a way through Cranbrook and loved the drive through. Service was exceptional, coffee was great and a delicious GF banana chocolate chip muffin even warmed up with butter. Bran muffin was warmed up too which kind of led to it falling apart ????‍♂️

Dan Bennett

Love this place and make it a point to stop here each time I am in Cranbrook. Great cappuccino, breakfast and treats. A true gem in the area.

Minnie White

Had a bad experience with a rude employee a long time ago. Coffee is too sweet. Food, especially the sandwiches are good.

Steph B.

I always have to stop here when I'm in the area! Food and coffee are great, service is amazing. Love seeing the new changes that the owners make between my visits!

Rob Orchiston

Rapid Service. smiley friendly happy staff. order from counter. great vegan and GF options. nice modern atmosphere. Fabulous food. good parking and location.

Gerry Erickson

Love the huge burritos.

Mike duToit

Great food, service, atmosphere, etc. Just a little pricey for what you get. IE small amounts.

Jordonzo

Food was delicious, had a brisket sandwich and yellow curry-coconut soup. However price was quite steep, a very tiny espresso was 4.50 and the sandwhich and soup were not super large portions either. Otherwise great spot. :)

Brendan Reddington

The food, coffee and service were good. The decor was very nice as well, plenty of comfortable seating. Would have given 5 stars but one thing bugged us so much, the logo. It looks like they looked up a clip art for coffee and just went with it. It's on the cups, the chairs,the tables, and everything. It looks very 80s and doesn't fit with the rest of the place.

Michela Carnesecca

Good place to go. Professional staff,good food and good place

Terry Shaw

Great Thai food. Place packed during this covid crisis leaves one qquestioning

Etoile McPherson

Consistently fast, great service. Great selection of local beers and wines, as well as coffee, tea, juices and more. Food is fantastic and fresh. Note that this is quite a busy cafe so it's usually quite loud.

Sarah McNeill

Our favourite place to eat when we are passing through Cranbrook! Excellent and diverse selection of yummy meals. Carry Stoke cold pressed juice. Staff are super friendly and helpful!

Mary-Elizabeth McGrath

Good choices for vegans available. Friendly staff. Affordable. Many goods locally produced. Quiet cozy space.

Dolf Vermeulen

Massive portions and quality ingredients. Can’t wait to come back!

Adam H

There's more than enough good reviews here, but that won't stop me from giving another "5"! These people know flavor. The food is incredibly wholesome (for both carnivores, and herbivores), the atmosphere is beautiful. And what impressed us most was the paper straws, which shows that the owners have their hearts and minds in the right place. We'll be going out of our way to come here again.

Donna Kennard

Great coffees and food. Especially like the frenzied squirrel. Coffee, peanut butter, chocolate whip cream

Ben Krieger

We popped in for lunch one day and were so impressed we came back for breakfast the next day. The food is delicious, with large serving sizes. They serve Phil and Sebastian's coffee, (an excellent, Calgary-based roaster), and a variety of local beers.

Dylan Krause

Unreal menu, many different options for different people. They were very busy so the service was a bit slow, however that being said, the food was still phenomenal. Our party of 3 all tried different options, all of us loved them. Pet friendly patio is also a huge bonus!

Val V

We live in Creston, but this is always our go to place in Cranbrook, especially lunch, and often stop on our way home for Take out! Yummy Curry’s, bowls and soups! Love, love, love the garlic pita chips !mmmm ????

Isaac Foley

The food is always great, the espresso based coffee's are sometimes over steamed

P C

I am from Vancouver BC, my husband and I went to Cranbrook for a business trip. We were amazed and highly satisfied at the customer service we received from the young students working there. Very professional and extremely kind. Most …

Meghan

Visited during social distancing, they have a great patio setup and are well prepared. Food and service was really great! The staff was really helpful and accommodating with food substitutions and food allergies.

Jordain Brulotte

Great local coffee shop, too loud inside for my personal taste, upbeat and good food

Jeremy Overton

Best ramen in Cranbrook! Also only ramen in Cranbrook, but it's great all the same!

Pam Collingwood

Nice place and great menu. Comfortable spot.

Yodel And Run

Great noodles has vegetarian options

Candice C

Always excellent service here at Hot Shots! The staff are always friendly and give great recommendations on those days that I can’t always make up my mind. Best noodle bowls around! High quality fresh food in a great environment!

Tamerra Stevens

Such a great place and friendly amazing workers! Love it

Fahad Saleem

It could have been 5 stars but there was too much lime in my Tom Yum and not enough chicken. Perhaps serve lime on the side, so customer can adjust as per their taste. Otherwise, we also tried one of the bowls with yellow curry and that was exceptional! Still not enough tofu. Great place and customer service. I will definitely return and try more items on the menu and this place is definitely recommended if you're in or passing by Cranbrook.

Kyle Straatsma

Excellent food, coffee and service. Worth the visit

emily rogers

Gluten free banana bread to die for

Mikayla Marie

Not impressed, waiting an hour for a wrap, having been told they “lost our order” not just once to my mum , but to me as well. You guys need to figure it out. A free drink doesn’t make up for that .

wayne klima

My Wife and I have always enjoyed Hot Shots. Our weekend treat is having a light breakfast here. Great service and good food. It can be busy on most occasions, especially on the weekends but that's not a bad thing, that means they are doing something right.

Jenn Squires

Scrummy final brekkie before leaving Canada for home in the UK. Great food and very welcoming staff.

Bill Barger

A noisy place to have coffee and talk. But friendly and good food.

Alexandra Jensen

Absolutely delicious food, great beverages, cool atmosphere. This is not the coffee shop to hit up when you need something fast though! They're pretty busy and haven't quite got the speed on take out meals. But definitely an awesome place to go have a coffee and visit with a friend!

Wayne Kao

Had delicious breakfast with coffee here. Seems a popular place in this small City of 19000.

Justin Swanson

It seams like every other time I go for lunch I get terrible service. Drive-through, online ordering, and a dining room seem to be too much for the kitchen to handle when it gets busy. Today I waited for my entire party to finish eating their food to get mine; a mushy, over-cooked Pad Thai. There was no acknowledgment, no apology, and no quality-check. Further more, the prompt for a tip before service is a bit backwards. The tip is supposed to reflect the quality of the service. Having left a tip, "stupid me" ended up rewarding bad service. Hopefully they can make some adjustments. Hot Shots, for me, has been one of the better places in town to eat.

Dave

Coffee was great. Service was friendly. Drank our coffees on the patio. Surprised to see a dog in the patio area and signs allowing it as BC health regulations do not allow this. No big deal until a second dog arrived which caused a lot of barking from the first one. Owner unable or unwilling to keep it quiet. So much for a relaxing coffee.

Nicholas de Gooijer

Lovely coffee shop, friendly staff, and very tasty food and coffee. Prices are higher than other places but it is definitely worth it. You get your moneys worth and more

S H

Had the chicken satay. Was quite tasty. Good service.

Ivy Mitch

Great place to stop while traveling. Food is delicious and healthy. Curry bowls are my favorite. Excellenf coffee. Good service. Worth getting off 'the strip' and going into Cranbrook.

Samuel Farrell

The best cold brew coffee I've ever had. Perfect on a hot day as the "ice" cubes we're actually frozen coffee! Delicious.

Jen Lew

Friendly staff, prompt service, delicious coffee and beautiful patio!

Tyler Nixon

Amazing food, amazing beverages, amazing staff... an amazing experience. My favorite restaurant in cranbrook hands down.

skriko bill

Honest review. 1st time went through drive thru. friendly staff at window .ordered ham swiss melt small dark roast coffee.coffe was terrible taste like warm milky water.melt was ok not much flavour.overall better off going to mcdonalds

Cheyenne Turner

Food is unreal. Unfortunately every single time I've been there something is a mistake. Its either they miss something in our order or make a mistake. This time we ordered two rice bowls that took 20+ minutes to make but they only made 1. Orders should be repeated to customers if confused. We are on a road trip and stop here everytime but man, I cant wait an extra 20 minutes because the cashiers can't get orders right.

Dustin McCulloch

Food was amazing! Best sandwiche I've had in a long time.

Mark Leci

Had an amazing coconut cream coffee here and a Thai noodle bowl. Maybe my favourite coffee ever actually. Worth going back for sure!

Corie fitterer

Fantastic, food wonderful staff

Cheyenne

Super yummy food! Love that they have so many substitute options for gluten free as well as other food allergies/intolerances.

Asha DeLisle

The coffee is generally pretty good, but for the past couple times I've ordered food here, it has been less than satisfactory. Think I'll stick with coffee from now on.

Daddy Gunputrao

Amazing menu for both hot/cold food and drinks. Helpful staff. What a find! Enjoy!

Donna Waters

Consistently great food and service over many years of going to this place! Amazing!

Memree Johnson

It's pretty good, although my one proble was that they don't have coconut or cashew milk. Which is sad for me because cashew is my preferred milk

Libby Cartwright

Delicious fresh food, nice little thoughtful touches to make eating out special- like it should be! Super friendly staff- would recommend to anyone and everyone!

R

Food is very very good when they get your order correct and the coffee is fantastic. Prior to the pandemic they were extremely organized and rarely got orders incorrect. In the last few months every time I've gone there they I've had to repeat my order continuously to the people at the till since they can't hear you through the massive plexiglass barrier and then they end up getting the order incorrect. It's a shame since the food is so good. Perhaps a screen that says what order you put in to ensure the staff puts the right order in and the customer can see that would help.

Corynn Gammon

Easily my favorite lunch spot in Cranbrook. Simply the best.

Kim Kennedy

Food was good. Long wait to get it. Very noisy place.. difficult to carry on a conversation.

bellebix vancouver

Really great food...table server super friendly. We all enjoyed our lunch there.
