Because we are lucky enough to live in the beautiful Cowichan Valley we are at the Leeward Cafe on an almost weekly basis. The food is always scrumptious and the staff welcoming, friendly and courteous. We love the ambience of dining in the clean and cozy cafe but in fair weather we bring our own mugs, which the staff happily fill, and we sit on the quaint benches out back and enjoy the boats and birds. The Leeward Cafe and its sister business True Grain Bakery are delightful!

Amazing coffee and food every single time!! I always feel so welcomed coming in here, the staff are very attentive and very efficient.

The staff here continue, after months and months, to look like you’re irritating them by coming in. Like you should be thanking your lucky stars they are waiting on you, commoner. Ladies. For Pete’s sake….get some personality and cheer. It’s too nice a place with too good of food to feel like such an uncomfortable encounter EVERY time!

Amazing food and beautiful location but lazy staff. I ordered a matcha latte and breakfast sandwich at 1:30 on Saturday, and no sweetener was added to my latte, and when I asked for sweetener, I was told that would be extra! The last time I checked, sweetener was included. I was planning on dining in, and when I asked for a plate, I was told we don't have any despite others using plates and the fact that I saw a stack of plates.

Good sandwich but indifferent service. Had to wait quite awhile to give our order while the staff did other things. Mops and brooms left in front of the bathroom door kept falling over and were tripping hazards. Very loud kitchen noises diminished the ambience. Three stars.

Very nice little coffee with delicious pastries from next door, and amazing views. The lady was super friendly today, even though we mixed up our order and took the wrong hot chocolate for our kids. She handled it like a friendly professional.

Best Mocha I’ve had in a reallly long time. I can’t even remember where I’ve had one that nice before.
Cute cafe attached to a bakery with delicious vegetarian panini.

We stopped by for a light breakfast a couple of weeks ago. I placed our orders and cashier quickly told me how much I owed. Never asked if we wanted coffee or anything else. I asked if it was possible to get coffees as well and a Sure what do you want was replied. We wanted to sit outside but no offer to help carry anything and I asked if she could help. Croissants and coffees were good but nasty glued note on table said we could only stay for a short period of time then had to vacate our seats. Really ? How much time does it take to drink a coffee and eat a croissants? Cold service and cold experience! We will not go back… It use to be a great little spot years ago when another business was there.

I asked if I could have a real cup and not a disposal cup, the server said that they were closing and would a disposal cup sufficeI said no, I will go somewhere who will support my requestAr this point I was told I could have a real coffee for my coffee after I mentioned global warming and unnecessary wasteI have returned to this place a few times since and was served very civilly by the same serverI really like the coffee shop and I trust it was a once off situation
Beautiful spot for coffee
