“I had the best oat milk latte and chilli. the service was wonderful, and they were accommodative to my celiac allergy and replaced the complimentary bread with a gluten free brownie at no extra charge. i was so pleased i went back within the week. definitely a hidden gem and i wish i discovered this place sooner! i want to come by every time i’m in the valley if i can.“

“I’ll drive to get my beans!! Def my fav roaster on the island!! They also rock a mean raspberry scone. Yum!“

“My party had both regular dishes and the vegetarian. Food was great. They have opened a new section of the restaurant since the last time I was there. It made it much more enjoyable as the tables are further apart. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.“

“Hank's Bakery, just off the busy highway on Duncan’s outskirts, is a local favorite that’s well worth the extra drive. This bakery-café hybrid focuses on fresh-made food and seasonal specials, drawing in a steady stream of customers who don’t mind the bustling atmosphere for a taste of Hank’s quality.

The bakery is often packed, and space inside is tight. Seating is limited, with a few small tables and a bar area that suits solo diners or those just grabbing a quick bite. It’s more of a grab-and-go spot than a sit-and-stay café, but the food keeps people coming back.

Hank's stands out for its focus on fresh ingredients, which sets it apart from typical cafés that prioritize drinks. Their menu is always changing, with seasonal specials adding variety and keeping things exciting. Whether it’s fall-inspired pastries or summer-fresh salads, Hank’s makes the most of each season’s flavors.

Overall, I’d rate Hank’s a 7.2/10. The quality of the food and seasonal offerings are huge pluses, though the busy, cramped space makes it a better fit for quick stops than extended visits. If you're in the area, it’s a must-try for fresh, flavorful fare!“

“First time there, from Nanaimo for a Geocaching event. I had a London Fog and a Cranberry Lemon Scone. They were both tasty.“

“The Fishbowl is a great cafe with plenty of gluten free items.“

“Its such a cute place to go for bubble tea! I go every Sunday w my bestie and we always get refreshers. its amazing, and THERE ARE FISH!“

“Cowichan Bay is in itself a beautiful stopping point, with excellent waterfront views. The Leeward Cafe is connected to the world-renowned True Grain Cowichan Bay Euro style bakery.
Great stop for coffee and fresh baked goods or a full lunch.
Enjoy the waterfront atmosphere with friends, family, or chat with someone new. Summer time there is an open deck, we'll worth a stop.
As a local, I certainly go back very regularly.....enjoy“

“My stay was 29-31/8, it's a really nice place:- the resort is beautiful, the room is comfortable, the hot tub is excellent, the starry night is amazing, the staffs are friendly and helpful. I would like to say thanks to Sally Walker. She not only gave me a 30 mins. massage, she answered my concern about my back pain, let me know more info. about massage 🙏“

“When my dad was alive he went their daily and that is usually where we'd meet up when I was down there for a visit. Such a great place with a casual environment.“

“Absolutely LOVED our tacos from here - the birria and carnitas were incredible. Authentic flavours and friendly service. Will definitely be back whenever we are in Shawnigan visiting family.“

“The comments about theft are aimed at the previous owners! As of July 1 2024, Rusticana Ice Cream & Coffee are now operating at this location. The new owners are amazing and have completely renovated, as well as bringing in locally sourced products check it out!!“

“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.“

“Family friendly, friendly staff, dedicated team ❤️“

“This little coffee shop is everything. The owners are incredibly kind, friendly, always welcoming- they make you feel like family. My son and I agree it’s our favourite. Seriously the best coffee I’ve ever had. A true gem in Shawnigan.“

“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.“

“Tim Hortons on trans Canada and bench road is the bomb! The staff is so lovely and their food is ALWAYS fresh!
I’m talking beat hash brown EVER!
I live closer to millbay but the bench rd location is well worth the drive as the service and freshness is much higher quality!
And they are always fast!“

“The service has been excellent and we love dark roast coffee and London Fog lattes. We've had great fun on the Starbuck's patio with our dog.“
