This hand made gourmet gelato with lots of interesting and unique flavours - even for those who are vegan! Definitely worth a stop! You can even get pints or have them delivered! I’d highly recommend! Or have a sit down in the warm store. It’s never too cold for ice cream!“

“I used A Wee Cupcakery for my wedding to provide vegan and gluten-free cupcakes. They made six of each of four flavors, and the chocolate coconut was absolutely to die for! Even guests without dietary restrictions couldn’t resist. Attached is a photo of a happy bride who sampled each flavour. 😄 Delicious treats and fantastic service—I highly recommend them!“

“We visited Gabriel’s Café in Nanaimo for breakfast and coffee on our last day and were pleasantly surprised. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh, high quality ingredients. The café states that it prides itself on sourcing local produce, and that commitment is clearly reflected in the food.

The coffee was also very good by Canadian standards. I ordered a Piccolo and had to explain what it was, but the staff were happy to accommodate. It was served in a larger cup than the traditional Australian style Piccolo, but the flavour was excellent. Best of all, the coffee didn’t have the burnt taste that is often found elsewhere.

Friendly service, quality local ingredients, and great coffee make this a café well worth visiting when in Nanaimo.“

“Ordered for the first time tonight , everything was so good. Highly recommend! Delivery was prompt and courteous.“

“I wanted to find the best Nanaimo bar in Nanaimo and this place is a contender for that title. I tried the blackberry lavender bar. It had a nice light crust with a generous layer of filling and chocolate on top. The iced pina colada matcha was also a refreshing twist on the usual iced matcha flavours. Worth checking out!!!“

“Had a really nice BLT and coffee, great service Thanks“

“Arrived at 2 so had options from the regular and happy hour menu. The street corn dip was fantastic. Combo plates included enchiladas and our favourite dish - Chile Rellenos. Great staff, funky atmosphere and amazing food. Can't wait to come back!“

“First time trying Noodlebox. I tried their pad thai with chicken (I've eaten many pad thais in Thailand). The flavor was spot on, but the noodle was undercooked. Beansprouts were crispy but there was no chives. :(
The cashier was friendly and the service was quick. Next time I'd like to try their Cambodian jungle curry. Sounds interesting.“

“our go-to location on the island. nice to be greeted with smiles 😁 always get the spicy peanut bowl, but tried the Cambodian yellow curry today and it was delicious! bits of mango on top so good.“

“knowing some of each others friends. some of the best I've had in my last 40 years“

“The food was OK....but was not impressed with the dust on the rungs of the chairs and the dividing glass on the booths were pretty dirty...especially when the sun shines through the dirty windows.“

“My wife and I went to the food court in Woodgrove Mall, Nanaimo a few days ago. We chose the three choices meal from the Manchu Wok. We chose Sweet & Sour pork, Salt & pepper fish and Honey & Garlic chicken accompanied by vegetable fried rice. There was plenty for the two of us. The meal was very tasty and enjoyable and represented excellent value for less than C$ 15. Staff were very helpful. I'll be going there again!“

“Delicious, great find in Nanaimo“

“I recommend the food -but I really hate the fact that when I get A+W coupons in the mail and take them to your store, you won't accept them. I also dislike the fact that when I try to contact A+W Canada to complain, the "Contact Us" function NEVER actually works!“
