Perfect breakfast bun on ciabatta…coffee espresso…friend went back for seconds.
Muffins look good as well. Worth a stop along the way or an alternative to The Hot Springs.

We stopped by for some ice cream after the hot springs, it was delicious. I highly recommend the Esspreso Flake. We grabbed iced coffees to go also, which were really good, not too sweet!

Left Ainsworth Hotsprings looking for a bite to eat. Found this wonderful place right next door. So glad we stopped in. Fantastic food/service.

Nothing better than a Betty O milk shake after a soak in the hot springs. My girls love there grilled cheese also.

We actually planned to spend the morning at the hot springs - but a tour bus was there so we decided to leave that for another time. Instead we decided to enjoy a break at Betty O’s - and we are glad we did! Great way to convert a school bus to a fun eatery - iced coffee, smoothie and yummy cookies were tasty and reasonably priced. We didn’t try any lunch items - but other people were enjoying breakfast and said it was really good. Seems to be a spot to meet locals - and the bus seating was more comfortable than we remember them. Friendly staff - good service. We will be back.

Mexican favourites & sandwiches looked great. Coffee and baked goods were fresh. We stopped for ice cream - limited flavour selection but we all found something. Cute place and a perfect post-caving reward.

We stopped here for a quick ice cream after visiting the Cody Caves nearby, and we were surprised at what a clever and awesome this restaurant is! It's an old school bus transformed into a food truck!. They even used some of the old school bus seats for seating outside! The service was great, the ice cream was delicious and hit the spot. The owner (didn't catch his name) was busy chopping vegetables, but took the time to talk to me about his hidden gem. Cool find!

Cute and unique little restaurant beside the Ainsworth hot springs. Definitely worth checking out. The banana berry smoothie was great, and the brekky buns are delicious and filling.
Also a great place to walk down to for ice cream during a hot day. The chocolate shake and espresso ‘Shako’ were fantastic.

While on your adventures in the Kootenays, be sure to stop in for treats at a Betty O's. Nelson Visitor Centre stopped in had refreshing smoothies and snacks.

For a great outdoor casual experience, this is s fun restaurant to check out. The food possibilities have a Mexican theme and the kitchen food is s served from a school bus. Would live to take kids there!

Six of us ate each year for both dinner and breakfast. The meals are of a Mexican theme and every meal we had was delicious. The setting is a old yellow school bus with the seats from the bus as benches to enjoy your meals. Prices range from$8 to $12 with nice sized portions. We will most definitely be making this a stop on our annual motorcycle trip.

We got a couple of iced coffee's and a breakfast Panini and breakfast burrito. Everything was good and very friendly owner! Our only complaint was that we went back the next morning and they weren't open at the time the sign said they would be, so we had to keep going.
