Coffee Shops near Mill Bay

“First time there, from Nanaimo for a Geocaching event. I had a London Fog and a Cranberry Lemon Scone. They were both tasty.“

“Family friendly, friendly staff, dedicated team ❤️“

“The comments about theft are aimed at the previous owners! As of July 1 2024, Rusticana Ice Cream & Coffee are now operating at this location. The new owners are amazing and have completely renovated, as well as bringing in locally sourced products check it out!!“

“This rating is for the service. This must be the absolute fastest service of any Timmy's location. It's sometimes even ready as soon as I pull up to the window and pay, and I'm not talking about just getting a coffee either. The staff is energetic, smiling and friendly. As for the food itself, well ...it is Timmy's after all. Also not always consistent with the hashbrown preparation.“

“The Mill Bay Mickey D's is 1 of my favorites here on Vancouver Island, their consistent high quality & freshness is great, & the drinks taste really great& special because there's no fluoride in the tap water there, so, no icky weird city water taste messing with the flavour of your choice of soda fountain drink!A strange occurrence during this particular visit though, the line up for the drive through was huge, so I parked my truck out front, went in & ordered a double cheeseburger, (with no pickles), & what I received and didn't notice till back on the highway, that I'd actually received a rather messy big Mac with what appeared to be not only extra pickles, but extremely huge amounts of "secret sauce" as well, I was completely confused & horrified, I also got a large fries that were badly undercooked, so, not so great today... Hmmm.“

“My group of four truly enjoyed our evening. The food was the best we've had in a long time! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic and memorable. Excellent staff, service and food and the fireworks show truly was the icing on top. We even had a gorgeous view over the grounds to the water. We will definitely be back! Butcharts is our fav place to go. Thank you!“

“Hank's Bakery, just off the busy highway on Duncan’s outskirts, is a local favorite that’s well worth the extra drive. This bakery-café hybrid focuses on fresh-made food and seasonal specials, drawing in a steady stream of customers who don’t mind the bustling atmosphere for a taste of Hank’s quality.

The bakery is often packed, and space inside is tight. Seating is limited, with a few small tables and a bar area that suits solo diners or those just grabbing a quick bite. It’s more of a grab-and-go spot than a sit-and-stay café, but the food keeps people coming back.

Hank's stands out for its focus on fresh ingredients, which sets it apart from typical cafés that prioritize drinks. Their menu is always changing, with seasonal specials adding variety and keeping things exciting. Whether it’s fall-inspired pastries or summer-fresh salads, Hank’s makes the most of each season’s flavors.

Overall, I’d rate Hank’s a 7.2/10. The quality of the food and seasonal offerings are huge pluses, though the busy, cramped space makes it a better fit for quick stops than extended visits. If you're in the area, it’s a must-try for fresh, flavorful fare!“

“Fantastic lunch catering, thanks Empourium! The charcuterie platters and desserts were a huge hit.“

“I’ll drive to get my beans!! Def my fav roaster on the island!! They also rock a mean raspberry scone. Yum!“

“My stay was 29-31/8, it's a really nice place:- the resort is beautiful, the room is comfortable, the hot tub is excellent, the starry night is amazing, the staffs are friendly and helpful. I would like to say thanks to Sally Walker. She not only gave me a 30 mins. massage, she answered my concern about my back pain, let me know more info. about massage 🙏“
