“exceptional staff who love working with the GVL residents“

“delicious food, lovely people“

“I love this garden as an herbalist because it has an incredible variety of plants to discover - including medicinal shrubs, a large garden and so many different tree species. When I was here I saw a Korean Fir tree which is so beautiful 🤩. Highly recommend visiting!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 😋“

“I’ve been on the hunt for the best cinnamon bun and I’ve found it - unfortunately, I live in the South Island so won’t be able to get them as often as I’d like…but maybe that is a blessing in disguise 😊. Fluffy dough, light topping of crumbled sugar and butter and gooey base. Not too sweet and not dry at all. Seriously THE best cinnamon bun I’ve had and I’ve tried them up and down the island.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! It was my first time here and I had the lamb sandwich, which I’ll definitely be ordering again. The only downside was the service—our server came across as quite cold and never checked in to see how we were enjoying our meal or if we needed anything else. The food alone makes me want to come back, but I hope the service improves to match the quality of the kitchen.“

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

“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 ❤️“
