Auke Bay Cafe

Spent a week in town. One of the best breakfast meals we had.

I had lunch out here today. A BLT sandwich with fries. The prices are affordable and the food was good. They put a little bouquet of flowers on each table which I thought was charming.

Typically I don’t say much about local restaurants. However today we went for dinner and waited 1 hour for our food. We watched food fly out the door. After a few orders left I found out it was for “door dash”as we waited and waited I was told that they just got swamped with orders. If you are wondering if was not for the other 2 groups dining in like us. they arrived after us.

I would assume and I hate to assume. It became obvious door dash orders take priority over in cafe dinners🤷‍♂️.
Not sure if me questioning the timeframe for our meal upset someone. The food was not to the standards we have enjoyed in the past.

The young gals working the front did a good job. So the experience was not as bad as it could’ve been. Thanks girls.

I truly hope this review finds the right person and the situation is addressed.

First time here. We bought a cinnamon roll, red bull, and strawberry smoothie. The smoothie was very artificial tasting (never saw the ingrediants but I'm doubting it was anything more than a powder mix). The cinnamon roll was complete garbage. Large, but tasted like an old flat over cooked pancake. The frosting was on the side and consisted of nothing more than powdered sugar and water. Not even my 4 year old wanted to eat it. The redbull was good and the girls at the counter were nice. I'll try it again but stay away from baked goods. Perhaps the breakfasts are better? Overall I was not impressed. Too bad because it's a great location.

We ordered the chicken sandwich (chicken tenders,lettuce, tomatoe, onion, mayo and a large serving of fries) it was tasty the fries were good and the sandwich hit the spot. Only improvement would be ditch the tenders and fry up a single chicken filet. And the auke bay club. Same results. Tasty sammich and large portion of delicious fries. Cook don't change a thing. Lastly we ordered a strawberry milkshake.....
This is where it takes a turn.
We were the 3rd of three groups in the restaurant, ordered and received our number to take to our table. We sat at a very dirty table surrounded by other dirty tables. 1 girls whole job appeared to be delivering sodas (which could easily be handed at the counter) and the other spent 10 minutes filling the water container then proceeded to take a long lunch break and managed to recieve her food before any of the paying customers. The last young lady was apparently running the show, doing amazing. With this lack of effort the lunch rush came in and swamped them, ending our lunch without receiving the milkshake and watching numerous patrons not receive food in a timely manner as the girls rushed to clean tables and spent most of the time asking each table what food they ordered (making the number system fairly useless) and turning to the one girl to make milkshakes and scoop icecream. Tighten up the service a little bit and you have yourself a fantastic diner stop with decent food at a decent price. Thanks for reading

The employees were good people and really made the experience worth the trip from South Douglas. It was already a great place, and the food was very good. To top it off, they had keto desserts.

The food is stellar, highly recommend! The biscuits are delicious and taste homemade.

Delicious Nutella & Strawberry Crepes.

Actually not even worth one star.
Really disappointed in this place.
We ordered 3 milkshakes and two ice creams.... It took 1 hour to get our order and there was only one other person in the cafe with us.

One of the guys told us, they are 2 hours behind on orders. At least give the customers a heads up, so they can decide if they wanna wait that long or go somewhere else.

Also it's not the cleanest

I ordered the avocado salad and requested NO tomatoes, add bell peppers and shredded cheese. I received a small Ceasar salad with avocado and tomatoes on top and tomatoes mixed in the salad. Idk that it was intentional or if the cook simply didn't read the order. It was late and the people were friendly and the place was clean. For the price, it wasn't a bad salad. My husband had a club sandwich and it was good and their spicy fries were very good!
