Coffee, lunch, some gifts, and smiles between Fernie and Cranbrook along Highway 3. Take them to go or stay a while! The choice is yours:)

Please note we will be closing on August 29, 2026 - so if you have gift cards, use them up now! We no longer do a full service menu, but we do have breaky buns, bagels, sandwich buns, and many goodies.

💥The last day of operations here is just two weeks away! Please come in and use up those gift cards!!

On the 29th we are doing an old fashioned BBQ to THANK YOU ALL for the years of support! So starting at noon the BBQ’s will be on, we’ll be cooking up hot dogs and smokies free of charge until we run out!

The PERK will be open for business on that day starting at 8:00am - with all of our staff here to serve you one last time!

Come in any time that day and see us, we’ll have a few give aways, some cool remembrance merch, but mostly we’d like to see you out and about for a visit!

Hey! It’s been a while since we have posted, but of course we needed to check in with you to see how your summer is going??
How’s ours you ask? Well it’s going very quickly and for those of you who don’t know - we will be closed officially on the 29th of August! More details to come about our very last day…

But in the meantime, a couple of Public Service Announcements…here’s the List:
**Please remember to put your shirts and shoes on when you come in, hot coffee on bare skin and feet is no joke. Please dress yourself appropriately to come into our place of business because Interior Health requires it and so do we!
** Also - PLEASE use up those gift cards! You’ve got a limited time (less than 24 days) so come and get some goodies soon before we run out!
**Also we want to ask those of you who are here working for the summer, please limit your working stays here to a maximum of 1 to 2 hours, and please put your phone to your ear or use earbuds - (not speakerphone) being respectful of other patrons is a common courtesy. If you need to be on the phone, please consider using a picnic table outside, and consider buying something.
**Pets- we love that you have your pets with you - but please keep them on a leash and clean up after them.

We have been in customer service our whole lives…and in the restaurant and coffee business since 2003, we have seen a lot of things. This year has not only been difficult because it’ll be our last, but it has been very challenging in other ways! We try to do our very best to serve each customer with a smile, we have worked hard to build a solid reputation for good food, kind staff, and a positive vibe…so please help us keep vibing to the end of our customer service days.
We will not be commenting further on this post and would ask that you do the same.

Special panini today: ham and swiss. Made with.... you guessed it, ham and swiss, but also tomatoes, mayo and mustard. Hits the spot. Add a coffee and have a legendary lunch.
