Only thing does not good enough is too much salt in the food.

Stumbled upon this great little spot in Nanaimo while visiting the Island. Quick and short drive from Departure Bay. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great ambiance. The food and coffee were great and arrived quickly. Definitely a spot worth a visit.

It was busy but we had great service! My only complaint is the pancakes— my daughter really didn’t enjoy them and I wasn’t a fan either the coconut milk made them a bit rubbery! Other vegan options might have better results

Always delicious! A little confusing if it’s your first time there but simply grab a menu from the table as you enter and make your order at the cashier then pick a spot to sit at. Pretty chill vibes. But the food is delicious!

The Best healthy meal I had in Nanaimo with a heavenly flavor in the warm rice and nice tables too. It was pretty busy but organized

Fantastic meal. I had the “Lucid” for breakfast. So tasty - just so many flavours and was delicious. Cool little vibe as well. Just way better spend of my money - while supporting local - than hitting a chain.

Unbelievably tasty and cool atmosphere. Kimchi pulled pork sandwich was insane

A Perfect Breakfast at Gabriel’s Gourmet Café
My brother and I had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at Gabriel’s Gourmet Café in Nanaimo, and it was truly a fantastic experience. The moment we walked in, the cozy, welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of from the start.
We both ordered from their breakfast menu, and the food exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the difference in quality—locally sourced ingredients and thoughtful combinations that make every bite memorable. Whether you’re into hearty breakfasts or something lighter and healthier, there’s something for everyone.
What really stood out, though, was the vibe. It’s the kind of place where conversations flow easily, and time seems to slow down a bit—in the best way. Sharing that morning with my brother over great food and good coffee made it even more special.
Highly recommend Gabriel’s if you’re in Nanaimo and want a breakfast spot that feels genuine, delicious, and just a little bit special

One of the best breakfast plates I have ever had. The potatoes were my fave part. Would 100% recommend!
Lots of vegan options clearly marked. Every single dish we tried was delicious. Definitely will be coming back often.
Fresh food, great vibes, service was quick and the food was on point 👌100% recommend
The MT Benny that I had was so delicious 😋
My regular stop for a delicious brunch. Their jingle pot and bennys are my favourite. They have great range of options.
