A little town Gift Shop full of great stuff. And the tea shop was fun too. We met locals and bought a few treasures. Over tea on the sidewalk patio.

Always love sharing stories with Pat. Stop by for some of her amazing artwork and the only gas for miles.

So thankful we have this store. It has the basic necessities, chips, chocolate, pop, gas/diesel station, a tea house and an art gallery because Empress has Artisans! Pat aka Nokomis is a wonderful lady and has a great story every time you come in.

Great food, neat atmosphere and charming staff. Its a bit off the beaten path but the business owner "Pat" sells all kinds of knickknacks and will have atleast one thing for everybody.
Also serves a great egg and bacon breakfast for an extremely reasonable price! Stories for days, and as an added bonus, she has Gas and Diesel

The owner is Pat, she is very knowledgable about the town and very helpful. As she said, 'a whisker away from being 80 years old'. She runs a much needed service for the town. You wouldn't know it from the stores appearance, but it offers a lot of services...just ask her. From fuel needs to food! Ice cream too!

Loved it!!!! The owners are eccentric and funny to watch all the while being very hospitable and generous with the kids. The selection is quite unique as well, a great stop for a gift on the way home and not more than 15km of the 41 a great 10min detour for sure.

Being in this establishment felt like home. The smell of soup on the oven, the beautiful art on the walls and the incredible hospitality not to mention their great soft serve ice cream. If you get the chance I would highly recommend a visit

Fantastic owner who knows his history of the area. Cute shop and restaurant with lots of interesting "finds". Highly recommended everyone to check this place out.
