“Hands down the best coffee I've ever had! You instantly feel welcomed, and have your order in your hands within minutes.It's run by an awesome family that always takes good care of their staff and customers - They also serve a mean pastry!“
“It is a bit out of the way, but definitely worth the stop. If you're headed to the ferry or airport, you should take a little detour for a pre-departure meal or snack. Their specialty lattes are great and I'm sure all the other pastries are good. I only ever get the vanilla custard Danish and I'm never disappointed. If you go in the summer they also have in-house refreshers as well which are also very good. If they break into charcuterie it would be a perfect place for me, at least.“
“LOVE their vegan sandwiches. It’s a budget-friendly place with lovely staff and the BEST vegan brownie I’ve ever had. Lattes are great and milkshakes reportedly superb friends tell me. It’s a bustling place where finding a table at lunch can be a challenge but you worth that small hurdle.“
“Stopped by here the other day and got the mac and cheese, ceaser salad, and the hummus & pita for my two young boys to split, excellent service! Food was served up fast, the prices were very affordable, and generous, tasty portions! I will definitely be back soon!“
“came across this little gem today while on a stroll down Beacon Ave in Sydney and OMG would have loved to tried and eaten everything there LOL. I had this croissant raisin thing (forgot what it was called lol) and it was amazing!! Definitely will be back!“
“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 place! Beautiful people and their creations are amazing. So much to chose from that's healthy for you.so refreshing to find vegans that are free thinkers and not mindlessly following the crazy politics that ensnares almost every other vegetarian eatery I've ever visited“

“I recently had to drive a group down from the comox valley to shawnigan lake and drop them off and then pick them up 6 hours later. I knew I needed a coffee and came across a neat convenience store right near the lake , but just didn’t feel like the gas station / convenience store coffee on this day so I googled “best coffee in shawnigan Lake” and got a direct hit with Shawnigan House Coffee and chocolate ! Well!! Let me tell you !!! After sitting down with a caramel latte and starting light chat with a few customers and the staff, I found myself in the exact spot 4 hours later !!! I read an amazing paper, I bought some local art from a local artist that they kindly display and sell for them and I most importantly met the amazing owners and found an incredible energy and something pretty special from one of the new staff and very good friends if the owners! You could not ask for anything more from a local business from a world class guest experience than here! We even had resident Turkeys that came by for a visit !! How cool is that!!! The snacks are great, the coffee is hot and savory, the music is chill , but most importantly the company and hospitality from the staff is dreamy!!! Thank you for an amazing day while I made my first visit to your secret utopia at Shawnigan Lake ! It definitely won’t be my last. See you all very soon!!! PS: they’ll even throw a rugby game on their big screen if you ask them nicely !!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. A+++++++++“
“Once we are in the area of the Sidney we will step in Dakota Cafe !The food tasted good and also have several options to choose from.very large portions for the price, I would definitely recommend. The decor and ambience is also very nice, service is quite attentive. It is my favourite restaurant in Sidney!“
“Had great service and mighty fine food, not to mention the great view! I had the chicken quesadilla and it was excellent, my husband had the pulled pork sandwich on a gf bun, he said it was delicious. We definitely recommend this great little spot on the water!“
“Landed and picked up the rental car, found this place minutes from the airport. Wife has celiac and says they have gf options so off we went without much of an expectation.It's a nice little gem for sure. Very reasonably priced and delicious food. Took celiac seriously and the service was fantastic. Quaint little joint for a bite. ??“
“Stopped for coffee, a muffin and a sandwich on a road trip heading up to the Cathedral Grove old growth Forest. The coffee was flavorful, the muffin was fresh that morning, and so was the sandwich. There were a few tables in there with locals solving world problems.“
