In the town of Coombs not far from our base in Parksville is the Old Country Market. It is better known as the Goats on the Roof store. That is why we came and the first thing we searched upon arrival.I did not expect the volume of cars and people streaming into this small town. Parking on a weekday is difficult. The store has inventory that I have not seen before. I bought a wooden medieval axe and knight's shield for my grandson.The indoor resto is packed. I ate part of a ham and cheese sandwich with clam chowder. As a side, I went to the deli and bought 2 pieces of smoked salmon.After lunch we went next door for ice cream. A good afternoon was had by all.
We were told that this attraction had an international market; we didn't find that but we did find hundreds, if not thousands of people roaming the "county faire" streets and alleys. There were plenty of places to buy ice cream and other things to stuff in your mouth as most of the throngs were doing. Parking was very hard to find and the goats grazing on the roofs were somewhere else. Only one tired looking goat was lounging in the shade; what else would goats do on a roof, albeit grassy, on a hot summer day. We left as soon as we could squirm our way through the crowds to get back to our car.
We've been on a quest to find the best fish & chips on Vancouver Island. The lunch we had was delicious and the best coleslaw so far. Chips were crisp and tasty too. The cod was light and fresh. We dined outside and you can't top the view of the goats strutting back and forth while you eat. Our meals took approx 20 mins however the time went fast between the watching the goats and people. Only suggestion is to have more ice available for your water. It was a hot day!
Wohl als Touristenattraktion zu sehen, Ziegen grasen auf dem Dach, die Kinder fanden es klasse. Der Laden schön anzusehen mit jedermenge "Spezialitäten " aus aller Herren Länder. Macht spaß mal da durchzustöbern. Kann auch Wurst und frisches Brot kaufen. Im Restaurant einfache Küche, burger etc. aber völlig ok, auch die Preise. Wenn man in der Nähe ist, ein kurzen Stopp lohnt. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
Ook dit is weer een drukke spot en toch konden we aan de weg parkeren. Ze verkopen veel leuke produkten, van voedsel tot speelgoed tot servies en hippekleden. De kids vinden de geiten op het dak natuurlijk leuk. Goed lunchrestaurantje ook. Maar na een zalig ijsje aan de overkant na een uur ook snel wegwezen ;-)
Staff were very unfriendly. My sister and I spotted a sparrow that had entered the building. I asked the staff if they could help it. They said they couldn't, and when we tuned to leave they were laughing their heads off. This was humiliating- we were genuinely concerned about the bird. Sandwich was mediocre.
A jewel in the heart of Vancouver Island. The market is outstanding with all sorts of eclectic products as well as a full produce market that is largely locally grown. The goat on the roof are neat. But the little bunnies huddled near the doughnut stand are profoundly entertaining.
Super market with really different produce and several choices of instant food too. We had different sausage rollls- like beef and spiced beef. It's busy but a good venue within a great town. Nice stop on the cross- island journey. Look for free parking. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
Great selection of deli and bakery items and a great selection of various condiments, plus basic grocery items.Lots of inexpensive decorating items, kids toys, kitchenware, art supplies, souvenirs and more.
Cute place to stop with the goats on the roof! Great bakery, great coffee, great shopping and great ice cream! Would recommend you stop even if only to look!
