16 Best Cafes in Courtenay

“It is hard to resist buying everything“

“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.“

“Every time we’re in the Comox Valley, we somehow end up here. Great drinks, and the café is packed with local art and handmade goods. If you’re nearby, it’s a great spot to visit!“

“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!“

“exceptional staff who love working with the GVL residents“

“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.“

“A lovely little spot with amazing staff and great food. I had the Mountain Bagel and a London Fog milkshake - both were delicious, and the bagel really was packed like a mountain! We also had a great chat with the staff about films, which made the visit even better. Would definitely recommend.“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“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 😋“

“The Most Charming Breakfast Place in Courtenay

I believe whoever was in charge of this location's look and feel was at least partially inspired by Hobbit architecture. It was delightful dining here and the food was pretty good too!

My wife ordered the Two Poached Eggs with Whole Wheat Toast & Jelly breakfast, while I created my own sandwich (Montreal Smoked Meat on an Onion Roll with lettuce, tomato, and avocado). I also got a cup of their soup of the day (Cream of Butternut Squash). Everything was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. And we got to experience what eating breakfast for Frodo & Bilbo Baggins must've been like.

Highly recommend if you're in Courtenay and want to get away from the typical run-of-the-mill diner or cafe experience for breakfast.“

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

“Had breakfast there on Saturday. Great food, both my wife and I enjoyed it very much. Also fantastic and fast service. Will definitely go back, prices were also fair in my opinion especially for the quality and quantity you get.“
