They make a fantastic Spanish Latte when I ordered one while waiting in the lobby. They were even willing to serve it to me in a ceramic mug when I asked.

Artigiano Departure Bay is a stylish cafe located in Nanaimo's departure terminal, known for its delicious coffee like cortado and flat white. The prices may need updating, but the friendly staff and sustainable practices make up for it. Their London fog is a must-try, and they even offer oat milk for those with dietary restrictions. The cafe is a great spot before catching the ferry back to Vancouver. Customers have praised the pristine coffee and excellent service, with one mentioning that the manager quickly resolved a latte issue with friendliness. Many appreciate the longer hours, allowing them to grab coffee before late commutes. While the coffee and snacks are enjoyable, some have noted that items like cheese and pastry can be pricey. The chocolate croissant is highly recommended; it is warm with a gooey chocolate center, perfectly fresh and flaky. The matcha latte is also excellent, not overly sweet. The chicken club sandwich has received praise for its juicy, fresh chicken and well-tied bread. The service is fast and efficient, with staff being friendly and accommodating when mistakes are made. Customers also enjoy the variety of treats like pumpkin loaf and Spanish latte, making it a convenient and reliable spot for travelers waiting long hours for the BC Ferries. Overall, the cafe offers tasty food and drinks, friendly service, and a clean environment, making it a favorite before departure.
