“It is hard to resist buying everything“

“delicious food, lovely people“

“exceptional staff who love working with the GVL residents“

“I love the Atlas ! every time we’ve been the food is absolutely delicious and unique, and the staff are wonderful. Today we went and didn’t realize it was “all breakfast Sunday”. I had my heart set on clam chowder, with only breakfast food I thought it might not be for me but the waitress was so good we decided to stay and I ended up having the best breakfast Huevos rancheros , it was absolutely delicious .. and I also ordered the wrong type of wine.. well the waitress even changed in the wine for me.. really appreciated her .. thank you Atlas cafe and staff !!“

“Love this little place. I always come for brunch a few times when I am over visiting from the UK. Fantastic food and attentive,friendly staff.“

“The nicest kindest place with the tastiest coffee! We ordered two coffees and a sandwich but left without the sandwich. Totally on us, we were chatting and distracted. When we went back an hour later they replaced it no questions and were so kind about it! Incredible service!“

“This is very nice, quiet cafe on the high street with a northern European ambience. The owner is very friendly and eager to please. I have only bought take away. Although there are several ready made croissant sandwiches, recently I wanted a rustic bread so a fresh turkey, ham, cheese was made for me ($8, very tasty). I have also bought the Friday schnitzel, which is huge and feeds 2 people ($23). Comes with sauce and spaetzle. I look forward to trying the pastries.“

“I was visiting the city of courtwnay market festival and a cheeseburger was 3$!?!!

So I ordered two and wow the wait was so worth it. So simple and delicious and you can tell it was homemade and with love. It was like eating my parents home made patties. A family run business and a very cool place to visit and hang out im sure. The milkshakes looked delicious as well as the loaded hash! I will definitely come back when I visit the Comox valley again.“

“Best food and drinks in all of the Comox Valley.“

“Great accomodating menu with lots of rotating options like soups and baked goods. Amazing drinks and smoothies, I love the "blueberry pie" smoothie. My non-vegan dad is obsessed with the "boss burger." I always get the daily bakery special 😋“

“Coziest little sandwich spot on the Island. Feels like a wood-paneled hobbit cabin, smells like fresh bread the second you walk in, and the food tastes homemade in the best possible way, thick sandwiches, and killer soups.

Staff are weirdly calm and kind, like everyone just finished a group meditation or something.

Yes, there’s “cult lore,” but honestly? If the cult’s baking bread this good, I get the appeal.

Would absolutely return, maybe even join. For the vibes. And definitely the chilli.“

“Only went there a few times, but each time was always better than the last“

“Fabulous wee spot here in Courtenay.. if you're wanting a tranquil spot and want to fulfill your sweet/ savoury needs, this is the place to go to. Food's sumptuous, ambience is superb, and staff are all friendly! Shout out to Cate for being very attentive to my needs.. defs a 5 star cafe.. and I just found another reason for me to go and visit Courtenay again. Thanks guys!🙌“

“Went today for the first time since it changed ownership. I had always found it only mediocre before. Today was amazing. The server was amazing…polite, friendly, went above and beyond. Our perogies were delicious and it was the best cabbage roll I’ve ever had (apart from my own mother’s! lol and I’m very picky about cabbage rolls). It was my son’s 12th birthday and all he wanted was perogies and this did not disappoint! We will be back and spreading the word. Thank you so much ❤️“
