Good food. Cozy, old school mom n pop type place. Recommend and would go again.
Food was hot and served pretty quickly. Apparently during summer months it's very very busy.
Right on the main road. Easy to find
Parking could be a challenge if they're super busy.

Vegetarian options: Yes

Parking: Not a huge parking area. But there's room on the street very near by.
They are pretty efficient to get you in and out if busy.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very low bump in. I walk with a cane(heavily on the cane. Need a hip) and had no issues

Delicious food and great atmosphere. We are out of town and a local friend took us here. Ideal Cafe feels like real Canadian food and we loved it.

There is a 50s/60s Cafe in the northern part of Campbell River that has become a destination place for us. The staff are always cheerful, the food is to look forward to and the customers always seem comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great. Old time greasy-spoon with good food......but, sadly, over-priced.

Love the place. The food is amazing and the staff are very pleasant. It's a pretty busy place on the best of days but it's worth it if you have to wait. Lately it feels like one of the last vestiges of "historical" Campbell River.

We went for breakfast today and the food was simply delicious!! I got the Meat lovers special and my partner got the ideal skillet and we shared 1 gigantic pancake. Everything about our experience was super enjoyable. We've been living in Canada for over a year and this was hands down the yummiest brekkie we've had yet. Such a funky vibe inside, staff are fun and friendly and the Hollandaise was in our top two ever. Thankyou soo much for a fantastic experience!!
