“Was looking for an authentic Nanaimo bar in Nanaimo! My top 3 go-to's in Nanaimo were all closed on a Monday when they are supposed to be open per their hours, what can you do. Did a bit of searching and one site gave an honorable mention to Serious Coffee. Ordered a sweetheart latte (vanilla and cinnamon), meant to get the black forest, also had a Nanaimo bar of course and a carrot pineapple loaf frosted. Lets start with the good. The Carrot pineapple loaf was incredible. Didn't need the icing as the loaf itself was dense yet moist. Chock full of raisins, carrot but not a whole lot of pineapple. Amazing. The nanaimo bar left something to be desired. The bottom (coconut) layer was extremely dense, very coconuty. The custard was more grainy than smooth and silky and the top chocolate layer was the usual, chocolatey goodness. The latte was very subtly flavoured, I feel like the black forest would have been much more delicious. I won't be back as I've had better Nanaimo bars and coffee elsewhere, but like the site I read, honorable mention is about accurate. If everything else is closed this place will suffice. All 3 items costed $15 and change. Not bad in this day and age.“

“The vault is the coolest location in Nanaimo and going there is an experience. This spot is popular with locals and with tourists, as one of the best venues in town as well as just the coolest spot. The staff are amazing and the food is awesome. If it's poppin in there will you wait a bit? Yes, but that's because it is well loved.“

“Every time i visit this tim hortons im always greeted and served with a smile. If i had to shout out one person it would be that one new hire i never quite got his name, but he is always so sweet and understanding! will definitely recommend this location to my friends and i WILL be coming back!!!“

“Just wanted to congratulate the workers that were working during the day on November 27th. I don’t usually review bad customer service but I will admit I’ve had questionable customer service and food quality (drinks just tasted way different than other locations) here but the workers today were super nice and attentive and friendly and the drink was definitely made with love and care because it tasted amazing and not so carelessly made like some of the times I’ve been here. The ladies (and one man) working today were also very efficient, more so than I’ve seen in the past. The wait was still a bit long, but I don’t mind since there’s always only 2-3 people running the whole shop, but if you’re the girl with the glasses and dark brown hair working, your drink rocks! I was very pleased :) Hope you get all the things you want in life!“

“Had an americano and delicious gluten-free almond blueberry tart, and my mom had a pot of tea with raspberry cheesecake she said was to die for :) great ambience, very accommodating staff and I’d definitely go again soon!“

“This place is great!!! Food is awesome, service is great and reasonable prices! Highly recommended“
