Cafes near Cassidy

“Good variety of food and snacks to grab before going through security or after arrival. There's also a small selection of souvenirs and other other touristy items to purchase. The entranceway is very narrow, and there's limited seating inside, which means it can very quickly get crowded. There's barely enough room for two people to pass each other where you place your order and pay. That being said, staff are friendly and efficient, and make you feel welcome.“

“Mille Grazie! Your food is always magnificent! Not only did you fit us in without a reservation on a busy weekend night, after I called the wrong restaurant; but you gave us a wonderful table with amazing staff! Very special mention to the Ceaser I enjoyed before dinner! Highly recommend it! May you have a wonderful 2024! You always make your guests feel like part of the family!“

“Becky was INCREDIBLE. We booked her to cater our wedding and she was insanely amazing. Not only was this a convenient option for us having our wedding on Gabriola Island but she blew our expectations OUT OF THE WATER. From picking a menu - to me having some weird requests that she fulfilled without question. We last minute ordered some breakfast munchies for the morning after and without fail - Becky and team created the most beautiful fruit tray I have ever witnessed and the most delicious baked goods. I cannot say enough about how incredible Ground Up was to work with and we will continue to be frequent customers at the Ground Up Cafe!!!!!!!“

“We stopped in on our vacation to British Columbia at Ladysmith to have breakfast. Wild Poppy was our choice . I felt like I was in heaven seeing all the gluten and dairy free choices. The food was excellent and the staff super friendly . I was hoping the Wild Poppy Market would open a store in Sault Ste. Marie , Ontario. What a blessing that would be. Thank you“

“Visited the Nanaimo location for brunch with my mom today. Although I work close by, this was my first time in. The service was excellent, and went beyond expectations for vegan options for me. We each had coffee flights and crepes. I was thinking it would be more like a snack, but it was surprisingly filling at kept me going all day at work. Will definitely be back!“

“This charming little cafe is amazing. The food is home made comfort and always delicious. The staff is happy and helpful, the best thing here is that folks of differing abilities get work experience and training. BravoParking: Huge lot never a problemKid-friendliness: Very relaxed open room, kids would be happyWheelchair accessibility: Completely flat entry points and lots of room to manoeuvre“

“We love this place. They make the best cappuccino in Nanaimo. They also have a few gluten free muffins (occasionally).The ONLY reason I couldn’t give 5 stars, and the reason we don’t stop in more, is because too often there’s no available table, TOO many people with laptops sitting for hour or longer, nursing one coffee. Try doing like so many other cafes, charge for internet after 15min.“

“Went for coffee-it was so good-half of us ended up having breakfast!They said best hash browns ever!My scone was yummy and I had a half sweet London Fog-the seating was amazing-the outdoor spots were lovely!Parking: Prob spots for 10 cars or so out front-but the cafe can be accessed by a walking/bike trail so lots of folk won’t need a parking spot.The cafe is along the Ladysmith to Chemainus walking/biking trail that goes by Stocking Creek“

“Best coffee in town, hands down! We love the crepes (spinach and artichoke is my main go to, but I have yet to taste one I didn't love), but their iced coffees hit that special spot when I'm out to treat myself. Everyone is always so friendly and I always feel welcome. D and her team have done incredibly. We love you all ♥️“

“The California wrap with medium+ heat is a near perfect 10! What would make it a 10? Panini Grill it before bringing to customer. That little crunch would just be the perfect 10 I’d recommend. Flavourful, fresh, vibe is great on the outdoor patio. Great service. ????“

“A lovely lil café right downtown! Great location, loads of buses stop just across the street, easy to get to. Always had a good experience with the coffee, the mocha is such a deep flavor and not overly-sweet! Tried their ginger cookies today and was blown away, amazing flavor. I love to just grab a drink, sit outside, and read a book, maybe do some people-watching or play on my tablet. A great way to spend a few hours.“

“I recently ordered takeout breakfast from this restaurant for a work team meeting, and it was a delightful experience. The food was not only delicious but also arrived on time for our early pick-up. Everyone on the team enjoyed the meal, and I would highly recommend it for any future catering needs. The inside of the new café has a fantastic ambiance, and I'm looking forward to visiting in person. The friendly service added to the positive experience, and I'll definitely be ordering for my meetings again. Overall, a great choice for both takeout and dining in!“

“Nice cozy place with very nice people, not just the staff, patrons as well. Incredible snacks, great hot/cold drinks of several types. The washrooms are also kept clean. There is also tables set up outside to enjoy the sunshine on nice days.Two thumbs up! ? ?Ps: The Carrot ? Cake ? is the best I've ever tasted.“

“Favorite item on menu: When Pigs Fly. Pulled pork and fried egg sandwiched between two coconut pancakes with a side of bourbon maple syrup. I've come back to this restaurant a few years later and ordered the same dish. Spectacular.Parking: Free 2 hour parking on weekends.“

“Pleaseeeee do try the hot dogs!!! Hot and fresh!!!! It’s one of the only shops opened on New Year’s Day, we were searching for eats, tried hot dog and clam chowder, it’s good portion!The small shop has only three tables but has regular customers who come for coffee every morning, owner was really nice lady. Everyone here were friendly and we had a great chat!“

“The Nanaimo Waterfront Ice Cream shop is a delightful treat for ice cream enthusiasts. With a picturesque view of the waterfront, the setting enhances the enjoyment of their delicious ice cream offerings. The diverse selection of flavors caters to various tastes, and the quality is consistently top-notch. The friendly staff adds to the positive experience, making it a must-visit destination for anyone craving a sweet and scenic indulgence by the waterfront.“

“I don’t usually write a review but had to say after popping in for a tea and sandwich today the place was lined up down the sidewalk. The staff did an amazing job today, I was really impressed with the speed and service. With everyone complaining about staff shortages this place is truly blessed with great staff“

“Whenever we are travelling I always look for places to eat or have coffee that are above average.Bocca Cafe was rated high when doing a google search when looking for the best Nanaimo bars in Nanaimo and so we went and we’re not disappointed.We ordered the salted, peanut and regular Nanaimo bars to share with friends and they were all delish.Would recommend.“

“I've only had coffee and Nanaimo bars here to date but like it very much. Some might question the ratio of top to middle layer in the bars, weighted heavily to middle, or the middle leaning more towards fluffiness than custardiness, but I'm good on those counts and the fact that the lower layer features puffed rice (I think) in place of the more traditional dessicated coconut is a win for me. Nice sort of Victorian-ish interior, too, and prime central location with lots of natural light.“

“The food is good, coffee is great and the staff are nice. Busy little spot. We had a mix up with our order, the owner came out and gave us a gift card for the inconvenience, which was unexpected, but appreciated. I have since been back multiple times and it was great.“
