“The Fishbowl Cafe offers excellent service and great ambiance. Not only is the staff friendly, the bright and inviting atmosphere, making every visit a delight. A must-try for those seeking a combination of great food and welcoming surroundings.“
“One of the best peppermint mochas I’ve ever tasted, good coffee and snacks. Queues can get quite long and while drinks are executed very well the wait times can get rather long so don’t come here if you only have a quick minute to grab a drink. Cafe seems like local gather place with lots of regulars.“
“I have been there twice with my mother. The London fogs are just excellent. The turkey soup is the best I’ve ever had. And the sandwiches are fresh and tasty. Although the selection is limited, the quality is above average. Would highly recommend this place.“
“Been going to this location for years, always a great experience. Food and drinks are good, staff are friendly and quick with completing orders.Patio is a lovely place to read or people-watch.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian/vegan options and substitutions.Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy-free and vegan options.Parking: Tons of free parking at the mall.Wheelchair accessibility: Store is accessible.“
“A hidden gem.Collections of "tin” cups (as name suggests), free grapes, and the fish tank are so cool to find in a coffee shop.Featured multiple flavors of bubble tea tasted surprisingly good and I ordered a Tara-flavor bubble tea and some coconut bar dessert.It is a big surprise to discover a bubble tea place in Duncan!Would definitely revisit and try their coffee options if I travel in Duncan again and highly recommended!!“
“Delicious soup and sandwich for lunch. Most delicious lunch for a very reasonable price. Friendly staff. Bright, simple furnishings. Does not appear to be open Saturdays or Sundays. Also serve breakfast, extensive coffee menu. A real find on a fun shopping street.“
“I go here at least 3 times a week and the staff are so friendly! They all know me and they remember my order and name every time! Never have had a wrong order, always had great customer service, and always have had great conversations with the staff members! They always have great coffee and great selections of small sized snacks!“
“it's really nice to be able to come get a drink before class or during breaks. the baristas are always fast and efficient, as well as super friendly. my only complaint is that you're not able to order ahead but that's totally understandableDietary restrictions: oat milk instead of reg.“
“It's starbucks, a wide selection of sugary drinks and treats. The double smoke bacon sandwich is extraordinary and the white chocolate mocha is a legend. A bit on the pricey side but hard to complain when a frozen oven heated sandwich tastes better, than a sandwich you are likely to get at a restaurant, especially on Vancouver Island. Staff are always great and efficient and you're never more than 5 minutes away from a location! One bad note, bathroom cleanliness continues to plague the restaurant chain as a whole. Still, a minor issue in my opinion.“
“I have told everyone about how wonderful the staff were. There were 2 older ladies working that day. SO friendly and nice, the one lady went out of her way to be helpful and nice, made a huge effort to be accommodating. If this SB was closer to home, it would definitely be my go-to place!!Parking: Small parking lot.“
“It was lovely. Grabbed an americano and purchased a new book. Friendly staff. Drink was wonderful. That being said…I love the people who go for a coffee and all they can do is complain about how long it took…these drinks are not “fast food” most of us can’t even pretend to operate the espresso machines but think it’s okay to criticize and complain about the time it takes…other than that you’re probably super good vibes“
“This Starbucks is close to my home and is a lovely place for me to pop in and get a beverage, snack, or both, to take home with me. The servers, both counter and drive-through, and service are great. So happy I can drop in any time I want. Thanks everyone for being so awesome.Parking: The parking lot services several shops in the little plaza area. I'd say there are about 30 parking stalls, but honestly I have never counted them. Starbucks also has a drive through, too.“
“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.“

“Very good coffee place with a very inviting atmosphere.The staff were great and friendly.The place was very clean and well kept.Parking is very spacious and numerous.Bus friendly as it's also near multiple bus route.There are multiple seats to take and even an outdoor sitting area.Drive thru is also viable and but beware it has a short pile up.“
“First time and would definitely go again. The Owl's Nest is a warm feels like home bistro, nestled in the heart of Chemainus. You'll feel relaxed and a little taken back, with the country like decor...(making me think back to when being at my Nana's house as a kid)A relaxing/chill vibe the moment you open the door.The aroma of fresh brewed coffee, the smells of home cooked bakery and other dishes, will have you wanting to return again and again.“
