2005Open since 2005. That's 21 years.
Our take
Across the road from the old Metchosin School and steps from the fire hall, the Broken Paddle has been pulling espresso on a two-group Cimbali since 2005. The kitchen bakes from scratch every day and the coffee is organic, fair trade and roasted in Victoria. The walls double as a gallery: through spring 2027 they carry found-object work by Metchosin artist Jennifer Kivari.
