Finlay's East Beach Cafe - White Rock, British Columbia

First time visit here. The service was ok, and coffee was good, but no refill offered.
I had the breakfast sandwich, and it was rather bland and basic. A little salt, pepper, and mayo would go a long way.

I recently had a terrible experience at this restaurant. I ordered a Greek wrap, and the chicken had a foul odor. After eating just half of it, I felt nauseous and later experienced food poisoning. My family also ordered waffles, which were cold and turned out to be store-bought, even though the menu didn’t indicate this. It felt very deceptive to serve store-bought food as fresh.

Charging $15.79 for store-bought waffles is deceptive and misleading.
While we received a refund for the waffles, I was refused a refund for the Greek wrap, despite the obvious issues with its quality. I reached out to the restaurant to resolve the matter, but they have not responded.

The combination of serving smelly chicken and store-bought food while ignoring customer concerns is extremely disappointing. I do not recommend dining here, and I hope they take steps to improve both their food quality and customer service.

I was disappointed with my visit. The $15.79 waffles were just store-bought, covered in excessive whipped cream, and didn’t match the “freshly baked” claim. The chicken wrap was inedible and made my sister sick. While they refunded the waffles, they refused to address the wrap issue. Overall, poor quality and overpriced. Wouldn’t recommend.

Also, the review rate is higher because it used to be Watts cafe, and owned by someone else who had integrity when it came to the quality, taste and the price of food.

I still like this local family business. Lately I had the fresh baked warm muffin & another time the banana bread. Leaving my previous kind words review... place for coffee and a cookie. Great sheltered seasonal patio. As I've said before "The new open/close patio is very impressive, fresh and clean." Finlay's Happy Hour w/large selection of beer or alcohol drinks.

On December 7, I was here and had a delicious soy latté and a breakfast wrap, which I enjoyed outside on the heated patio right across the road from the beach. This was the only breakfast place with a view of the ocean. Although it was a cloudy day, it was heavenly being there breathing in the salt air with my daughter (she loved her smoked salmon on a bagel with cream cheese) and my granddaughter. The staff were very quiet but polite and professional. I hope their business keeps going strong. I look forward to returning and highly recommend it!

Great little family oriented breakfast Cafe right on marine drive overlooking the beach.
Could smell the salt water air as we sipped our coffee and ate our muffin. Was an enjoyable way to start the day with my wonderful lady

Quick & Easy eggs Benedict is tasty but it is not worth $9.
