🖤 A Little Update From Witch’s Brew 🖤

We’ve had a bit of a rough go over here lately between staff illness and some family circumstances that require me to step away for a little while.

Going forward through the month of October, I’ll be flying home to be with family, which means we’ll need to temporarily reduce our hours while I’m away.

OCTOBER HOURS
🔮 Thursday: 9am–1pm
🔮 Friday: 9am–4pm
🔮 Saturday: 9am–3pm
🔮 Sunday: 9am–2pm
🌙 Monday–Wednesday: CLOSED

While I’m away, we also won’t be able to accept any custom cake, cupcake or cheesecake orders. Our regular bake case will still be stocked during our open days, but custom ordering will be temporarily paused until I’m back. 🖤

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Sometimes life has other plans, and right now, family needs to come first.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s patience, support and understanding while we navigate the next little while. 🖤 We hope to be back to our regular hours — and accepting custom orders again — as soon as we can.

Thank you for continuing to support our little café, especially when life gets a little messy behind the scenes. 🖤

🖤 A Quick Update From Witch’s Brew 🖤

Unfortunately, due to staff illness and being extremely short-staffed, we will be CLOSED TODAY (Thursday).

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. 🖤

The good news is we’ll be back OPEN tomorrow morning at 9am for our regular Friday hours, and we look forward to seeing all your lovely faces then! ☕️✨

Thank you, as always, for supporting our little café. 🖤

🍂🔮 THE FALL & WINTER DRINKS HAVE ARRIVED! 🔮🍂

Sweater weather, crisp mornings, rainy afternoons, and an entirely reasonable excuse to drink something warm and delicious. Our Fall & Winter Drink Features are officially here at Witch’s Brew! ☕️✨

🎃 Harvest Hex — Our Pumpkin Spice Macchiato with pumpkin sauce, espresso and steamed milk, finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

🍎 Poisoned Apple — Hot apple c***r with caramel syrup. Sweet, cozy and just a little dangerous. 🍏☠️

🌙 Maple Moon — A Maple Brown Sugar Latte with espresso, steamed milk, maple and brown sugar flavours. Warm, smooth and made for chilly days.

❄️ Midwinter Hex — Our Peppermint Mocha made with espresso, dark chocolate sauce and peppermint. Rich, chocolatey and cool-weather perfection.

📖 Gingerbread Grimoire — A creamy Gingerbread White Hot Chocolate with gingerbread syrup, finished with white chocolate drizzle and a festive sprinkle.

The cauldron has officially switched over for the season. 🖤
Which one are you trying first? ☕️🍂🔮

🍂 Our new menus aren’t quite ready… but our SOUP definitely is! 🥣✨

As promised, we’re officially back to our Fall & Winter Menu, and today we’ve got a big pot of homemade Turkey Vegetable Soup ready to warm you up. Pair it with one of our Pulled Pork & Coleslaw Sandwiches and call lunch handled. 🖤

The bakery case is restocked and FULL, and our brand-new Fall & Winter drink syrups have officially arrived too! ☕️🍁

Come grab some lunch, a cozy drink, something sweet—or all three. We’re here until 4 PM today!

☀️🖤 LAST CALL FOR SUMMER! 🖤☀️

We’re open 9–4 today!

I’m away from the café sick today, but Destiny & Khol are holding down the fort and have you covered!

☕ Drinks are flowing
🧁 The bake case is stocked with goodies
🍳 The kitchen is open until 1:30 PM, with Khol serving up breakfast and lunch.

And most importantly… TODAY is your LAST DAY to grab your favourite summer drink specials! ☀️🥤

After today, we’re officially retiring summer for the season because tomorrow our Fall & Winter Menu rolls out! 🍂🔮

That means soup is BACK, new seasonal drink features are coming, and we’re settling into all the cozy, slightly spooky goodness that comes with the colder months.

So if there’s a summer favourite you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to, today’s the day to come get it one last time. 🖤

🍂✨ THE SEASON IS SHIFTING… AND SO ARE WE ✨🍂

The Fall Equinox is here — a moment of balance between light and dark, and a little reminder from nature that it’s okay to slow down, reset, and turn inward. 🖤

Today also happens to be our first Tuesday closed for winter hours, and after the whirlwind of Toy Run weekend, the timing feels pretty perfect.

So today, we’re embracing the slower pace.

🍁 Open the windows and let the crisp, clean air in.
🕯️ Light your favourite candle.
☕ Make something warm and actually sit down to enjoy it.
🍂 Take a walk and notice the season changing.
🧹 Clear out something that’s been weighing down your space.
📖 Read, bake, journal, nap — whatever makes your nervous system happy.
✨ Think about what you want to carry into this next season… and what you’re ready to leave behind.

No elaborate ritual required. Sometimes welcoming a new season is simply giving yourself permission to do less.

That’s exactly what we’re doing today.

Witch’s Brew Café & Bakeshop will be back after a little rest, a little reset, and probably a lot of coffee. 🖤☕️

Happy Fall Equinox, witches. 🍂🧙🏻‍♀️🌙✨

🍂✨ Fall & Winter Hours are now in effect! ✨❄️

As we head into the cooler months, we’ve officially switched over to our Fall & Winter schedule at Witch’s Brew Café & Bakeshop. 🖤☕️

Please take a peek at our updated hours before planning your visit. We look forward to keeping you caffeinated, cozy, and stocked up on all your favourite treats this season. 🧁🔮

🎃🔮 IT’S OFFICIALLY WITCH’S BREW SEASON! 🔮🎃

As much as we LOVE summer, the sunshine and the heat… we can’t exactly pretend we aren’t ridiculously excited that fall is finally here. 🍂🖤

First though, a huge THANK YOU to everyone for your patience over the last couple of weeks while we worked through being short staffed and while I was away with the Port Alberni Toy Run this last week. Things were a little chaotic around here, and we truly appreciate everyone who rolled with the changes and continued to support us. 🖤

Now that the Toy Run is behind us for another year, and the Fall Equinox is right around the corner, we’re rolling into our Fall & Winter Hours starting this week.

Which means…

🍂 Sweater weather
☕ Hot drinks
🎃 Pumpkin everything
👻 Halloween is getting closer
🔮 And Witch’s Brew is entering its natural habitat.

AND because cozy season requires cozy food…

🥣 OUR HOMEMADE SOUP IS BACK THIS FRIDAY! 🥣

You guys wait for this one every year, and we’re so excited to get the soup pot going again!

Summer, we love you dearly… but spooky season belongs to the witches. 🖤🧙‍♀️🎃
