Inspection summary

Fireside Cafe and Lounge has been inspected 7 times by Interior Health Authority since January 14, 2022. The most recent inspection, on August 20, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.

3 of 7 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Food temperature control and Cleaning and sanitizing.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 29, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 10, 2025. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on August 20, 2026. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on January 12, 2023. For example: 3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on January 12, 2023. For example: 5 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?

    It’s the only place on the hill, so they’ve got a monopoly. The coffee was pretty good, and they offer dairy free alternatives. The sausage wrap is really good, it’s an elevated breakfast hot dog with flaky salt on it. Would recommend. Seating is somewhat limited and the benches are hard.

    What a perfect spot for a morning coffee with a charming and cosy atmosphere. The music is on point, not too loud and matches the relaxed vibe. It had lots of comfortable seating with tables spaced out just the right distance. I loved the modern décor and the open layout of the café. The service was not only fast, but staff were super friendly and helpful. The super chill vibes made it great for relaxing, unwinding and enjoying my cappuccino. It was frothy and creamy just the way it should be - you can tell they really care about their quality. They have a great selection of pastries and scones that are baked fresh every day. If you are vegetarian they also have lots of tasty options. I went for the pistachio and raspberry scone with a side of butter. It was absolutely delicious and went down a treat. They have free Wi-fi – so perfect for remote work, catching up on social media or just browsing. The parking was easy but it can get busy in the mornings so choose your times wisely. It has now become my regular so with all the new seasonal options I get to try something different each time. A cozy hideaway with a really welcoming atmosphere – I highly recommend you give it a try next time you are on your way to the Panorama Mountain Resort or just enjoying a scenic cruise.

    Modern café with minimalist design, offering freshly baked treats and Rooftop Coffee Roasters’ brews. As the sole café in the area, it provides a convenient spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. Not too crowded during visits, making it a pleasant stop.

    Lovely little wooden coffee with a great variety of hot drinks. Oat Cappucino from espresso machine was delicious (but the small one is huge already). They offer a selection of pastries and breakfast items including vegetarian options too. + the playlist was cool to have a relaxed start into the day. 😊

    I wanted to hate it here because I really dislike paying $6 for a cappuccino, but I enjoyed my stop here, and the vibe was exactly what I was looking for after a mountain bike ride. Service could be a bit more “cheery”, but I’m sure the dude was just a seasonal worker getting through his day. Ps…props to the proper latte art. That’s worth a star on its own.
