I thought I wasn’t a pumpkin spice latte person, even though I love pumpkin everything else. Every one I’ve tried at the big chain coffee shops is just too sweet. But the one at Luke’s is amazing - Not very sweet and made with real pumpkin, so it actually tastes like pumpkin! So delicious.

The pastries are to die for, made fresh every morning and the coffee is delicious you’ll never find a better cup of coffee I garentee it. There is a wide range of drink choices and lunch options as well. Luke has great customer service and gets to know his regulars pretty well. A truely unique country cafe that you should never drive by without stopping in!

We just were spending a little time out camping, and we stopped by Luke’s for some coffee and a pastry… oh my GOODNESS it is amazing! We got some iced coffee and cinnamon knots, best highlight of my weekend! The espresso is good and strong and the flavour of my coffee is so yummy… don’t even talk to me about the cinnamon knots they’re DELIGHTFUL! 11/10 would recommend this place to everyone!

A gem of Athens. This cosy cafe is the place to stop on your way to the cottage. Luke's choice of Paninis all sound and taste so delicious that it's hard to choose just one. His Apple-Whiskey BBQ sauce is also a great if you're thinking of firing up the grill for ribs.

Was camping at Delta and my 2 friends and I decided to pop in for coffee, great decision!! Luke himself (we think) served us, and he was so nice and bubbly that it immediately put us in such a nice mood. I ordered an iced coconut caramel latte and the cinnamon knots, absolutely INSANE. None of us have ever felt compelled to write a review on google, yet as soon as we got back to the campsite the 3 of us are writing reviews. 11/10, thanks so much for making our day!!! I’m sorry I sound so giddy but I am on the best caffeine and sugar high!

We just discovered this beautiful gem, only to learn it's been around for many years! Had the pleasure of meeting Luke himself. We will be back often! Great place to get local Christmas stocking stuffers, contributions to holiday gatherings, or coworker/acquaintance gifts!
