The Broken Paddle Coffee Roastery and Kitchen

Wonderful soup; great vibe with mixture of locals/travelers; be clear when paying that you are adding % [i.e., 20%] vs. $ [i.e., $20.00].

Went in for breakfast, came out at lunch time. The server we had was looking after the till and making coffees up front and because of that. People that came after us got served an left before we even got our food. Keep her up front or as a server (NOT BOTH).

I was in Kenora for a few days from out of town. I always look for the local roastery wherever I travel - I'm pretty picky about my coffee. I love the quaint atmosphere and delicious coffee at this location. I went out of my way each day to drive there for my morning java and highly recommend it. Great, friendly staff too! Look forward to trying my beans when I get home.

We arrived at 5 miutes to noon for lunch. There appeared to be only one staff and we shortly realized that the restaurant was not prepared for lunch..Our mistake was ordering instead of leaving. The salad came with only half of the ingredients listed on the menu and the French Fries were cold. It was 50 minutes after we arrived. The hostess apologized, returned with a correct salad and offered a desert or discount. We received neither when the bill came. Our tip was minimal and it is unlikely we will return..

What a surprise, a great place to stop for excellent food. The salads are amazing but the pizza is a must, especially the coffee crusted steak pizza, give it a try. Also the locally brewed beer are a must.
