The Ruddy on Bowen

Awesome deli, delicious cafe, vegan options/ smoothies. Grocery store attached, indoor and outdoor seating.

Lots of selection for such a small place. Produce is fresh. Baked goods are delicious. Good amount of specialty items as well. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

More like Rude-y potato. Went there to spend our money and the people working there just generally seemed perturbed by our mere presence. They were not welcoming in the slightest and just unpleasant to be honest. Maybe they were all collectively having a bad day, but we definitely will choose other options next time.

Awesome friendly service!! And they have phenomenal vegan tempeh sandwiches in deli!! Pricey but so worth it! Will be back just for the sandwiches :) the store is located on a small plaza, but there's free parking, and the plaza can be accessed from different streets if you want to avoid crossing the line of cars waiting for the ferry. No washrooms for customers, but there's other places with washrooms close by.

Wonderful little store and bakery/deli on Bowen Island. The view over the harbour and the wrought iron panel above the deli counter are reason enough to visit on their own. The coffee is good, too.

Really love the evolution of products carried here, from the cute home and lifestyle section where I can stock up on dish towels and eco-friendly cleaning supplies to the great variety of organic food options and a good cheese selection for charcuterie. So excited they are now carrying Windsor Meats, their chicken skewers were a hit with the kids and steaks for the wife!

It doesn't always have everything you may want, and it is susceptible to island pricing, but what it does have is always delightful and well chosen- with nice surprises too! Delicious coffees and desserts. Their gluten free chocolate cookies are perfection.

This review is toward their cafe, not their grocery side.Seeing they use Moja coffee, which I like, and there's a la marzocco machine behind the counter, I feel like I just have to give them a try.I think the upper management needs to provide some training to their baristas. It's really not the barista's fault that they don't know how to use the la marzocco, they don't know what espresso is, don't know what a cappuccino is, and don't know how to froth milk. They just wanted a job. If you hire them, it is your responsibility to make sure they are trained to do the job.The barista tried their best, and the service was good. They deserve 2 stars, management deserves zero.

Pre-made kitchen goods abundant. Good to fair selection of groceries. Expensive items sit, comparison shopping recommended. The cafe has improved business with a bright social atmosphere. Customer service is widely varied.

Just got a quick juice and it was fantastic. Service was very friendly.They also take into account if you are catching a ferry and help prioritize your order as to not delay you for catching your sailing.
