Edie Rae’s Cafe

Edie Rae’s, in the Old Courthouse Inn, serves up a mean breakfast in a lovely space. One of the best eggs bene’s I’ve had– I had the powell riviera and it was fresh and tasty! My partner had the Edie Rae and loved it. Everything, including the biscuit, from scratch – breakfast perfection! The staff are such a friendly bunch. I love that the breakfast item names reflect some powell river history, and that the place is in homage to the owner’s mother. The room is lovely and the vibe is comfortable. Many personal touches and you can see (and taste!) that this is a labour of love. Next time I’m in town I want to check out dinner and the signature drink!

Edie Rae’s is an adorable, quaint little gem.
We had to leave our campsite in Lund by 11am but our ferry wasn’t until 4 so we decided to stop for second breakfast (because camping = everyone is now a hobbit). We did a quick Unilocal search of the area, and Edie Rae’s was top of our list to try.
It’s super easy to find, being just off the main road, and inside the Courthouse Inn. We were greeted by a delightful man who called us ‘silly kids’ for not making a reservation for 7 people on Father’s Day! He was a sassmaster, and I was a fan! The other server we spoke to was also delightful, making jokes and smiling the whole time.
The décor is really cute — lovely wood everywhere, and everything painted a bright, robin’s egg blue. There are little trinkets of silverware on a high shelf, and large blown up photos of Edie Rae (the mum of one of the owners) doing some pin-​up style modelling on the beach in Powell River!
We ordered, and I was very happy with the giant french press of decaf coffee they brought me! When my hash arrived I was definitely ready for second breakfast, but managed to snap a quick pic before I devoured it! The potatoes and veggies were cooked nicely in together, and seasoned well. My medium poached egg on the side was a little harder than I was hoping (no runny yolk) but it was still delicious. They had Sriracha and ketchup galore to perfect the meal, and they sure don’t skimp on the avocado! I was very happy! My friends’ french toast and pancakes all looked great, and everyone seemed very happy with their meal.
If I find myself back in Powell River I will definitely stop in here!

Best Breakfast’s Ever Created. Chef Kelly is a genius!

Best Eggs Bene ever! Had the vegetarian Powell Riviera (avocado and tomato) and it was Amazing. Eggs where so fresh I asked if they had a chicken in the kitchen. The ripeness of the avocado and tomato was just right and the ratio of hollandaise sauce was perfect with the richness of the avocado. The eggs where cooked to perfection and the homemade biscuit offered a crispness to this delicious dish. Definitely the best breakfast in town. Coffee is also 5 star!!!
