Love the coffee shop! Looks like a great spot to start your morning. That scone looked especially yummy. Looked like a beautiful park and hike and that lighthouse was so cute too! And how fun...I would love to look and hang out with goats always while waiting for my pizza and cookies. Sounds like a good set up to me haha and holy moly that brownie looks like it might be one of the best in the world! Wow. What a nice day, guys!

Looks indeed nice and cozy. Just wonder why they use throw-away dishes in a sit-down place. As environmentally conscious everybody claims to be it's disappointing that they haven't switched to re-usable glass or porcelain coffee cups.

We can't start our day without a proper coffee either, seems like a great spot to stop by! That lake is beautiful green indeed, so nice to be in the nature. Seems like the weather is so nice too, didn't expect it in Canada at this time of the year as in my head Canada is cold everywhere, which is obviously not the case. Love that there were so many animals to see while you are waiting for your pizza. Donut with sprinklers looks so good, agh I'm hungry right now!

Haha yes the weather isn't always so nice - but this is one of the mildest areas of Canada - very nice. It was such a beautiful area and I agree - coffee is essential!

I love that name lol. Eggamawich! The fact that it looks good as well makes it all the better. Cool little gift shop. That is a massive tree. Reminds me of the redwoods of Nothern Cali. Awesome forest trail. Was the water cold? Clever name for a pizza joint. Mmm brownies!

We stayed last year at the Prestige Oceanfront hotel and yes it was so beautiful! Also the Coffee house was amazing. These are great suggestions....for anyone watching this video I highly recommend Wildwood Mountain Pizza very close to the hotel for dinner. Sooooo good! Thanks for the video....was great to remember these great places. Also the potholes! Awesome!

We like the name of that coffee shop y'all went to. Lol at Alan saying it was a little bite! 😂 745 A.D.?!! Mind-blowing! Small children...or Wayne, hahaha! Omg, April is drooling about that toffee brownie! Good that it is not too sweet. Another fun name, Sitting Lady Falls 🙂

The green water in the potholes is stunning and the trail looks so nice to walk on, except for the steep stairs 😂😂 Your lunch spot looks amazing!! Those pizzas….🤩🤤 and the brownie 🥰🥰 Looking forward to seeing your hotel in the next one 🤗

Stick In The Mud looks like a place we would enjoy ☺️☕ The Pothole park was much different than I expected 😆 the water in the potholes was so pretty. We could probably spend all day scrambling around. You did find a great spot to eat and have dessert 🍕 🍩 I would have a hard time choosing between the brownie and donut 😁
