Just in time for Mother’s Day, it’s the perfect opportunity to gather, celebrate, and enjoy a relaxed morning with great food and even better company. This launch is about more than brunch. It is about giving back to our community. We’re proud to support the Haven Society by donating $2 from every brunch item sold. In addition, beautiful fresh flowers will be available by donation, generously provided by Daisy’s Flower Farm, so you can treat Mom or yourself while supporting a meaningful cause.

Steve Taddy is a Vancouver based comedian. He has toured all over Western Canada and was featured in Calgary's inaugural Craft Island Comedy Festival. In 2023 Steve released his debut album, Insufferable, now streaming.
