I’m looking for a great restaurant in Cranbrook. What kinds of food are served at Hot Shots Cafe?

While we have a shining reputation for our coffee, Hot Shots Cafe also knocks it out of the park when it comes to food.

All-day breakfast

Our all-day breakfast menu includes breakfast burritos, melts, baked French toast and lighter options such as bagels and oatmeal.

Soups and sandwiches

We have Thai coconut chicken curry soup, as well as a daily special—always made entirely from scratch.

Our sandwiches are grilled with love and we can offer gluten-free options. Try the turkey and brie, or the barbecue bacon and meatloaf sandwiches. We also make a grilled burrito!

All wraps start with noodles and mixed cheese, and gluten-free wraps are available. Both hot and cold wraps can have tomato, onion, green peppers and mushrooms added. Cold wraps also include cucumbers and lettuce. You can custom-build yours to suit your preference, adding turkey, ham, chicken or tofu as your main ingredient (or opting for a veggie base).

Noodle and rice bowls

From pad Thai to chicken satay, we have the flavours you want in a noodle or rice bowl. We even have a vegan tofu satay bowl for those on plant-based diets.

Kids menu
