10 Best Cafes in Nelson

“Heart of nelson. Would consider going there just for the building and grounds. Patio is closed during winter but still very pretty to look at. Small covered area to the side remains open.

Really enjoy their spicy chai and peanut butter energy ball. Great coffee beans too. Used throughout the kootenays.“

“Great place to have coffee, very good location & great atmosphere 😊☕“

“Get the raspberry jam! Amazing food and service!“

“Sky-Lea is a truly incredible caretaker and educator. We were fortunate enough to vacation in Nelson with our entire family (grandparents, sibling-in-laws, and kiddos) and stubbled upon Acorn + Oak Childcare on the Nelson tourism website.

She was so fantastic with our 2 year old and allowed the rest of the fam to spend time on the mountain together without having to worry about him having a wonderful time, getting a nap, etc. She's truly fantastic. Can't recommend highly enough.“

“Like my 2nd home or kitchen. Love the atmosphere. Food is excellent. People- wait staff and customers - always friendly. Laid back atmosphere, no pressure.“

“Delightful, casual, local cafe with history in the area. Charlie & Daylen served us the featured sandwich (breakfast burrito) & our coffees. We probably could have shared the burrito it’s so hearty & big! Come with an appetite. They serve no.6 coffee (also a locally brewed brand) and feature a local artist on a gallery wall. A great spot for a Baker Street hang. I even stuck around to get some work done after my lunch meeting.“

“Just amazing“

“I recently had the pleasure of eating a lunch sandwich at this establishment. I learned an important lesson on the day. That being my half stale sandwiches i make at home arnt actually all that bad. I guess eating the savoury wet hotcross bun they provided puts things into perspective. Due to this experience i'll be sure to eat more sandwiches at home.

5 star 10/10
Very grateful for this experience“

“This was a great cafe! Probably a top 10 mocha for me (made with oat milk)! The loaded breakfast wrap was SO tasty, though wasn't incredibly special (regarding its uniqueness). The cherry turnover though was top notch. Would visit again in a heartbeat.“

“I had the most delicious cake at my friends house the other day from Cake Betty. It was so wonderful that I feel compelled to write a review. Today I went to Cake Betty with another friend who bought the most beautiful small cake for a birthday gift. The owner gave us each a cupcake to enjoy. It was the best cupcake I’ve ever eaten - white cake with butter icing and a little bit of caramel sauce. So delicate and satisfying - I could have eaten three of them :)The bakery is so cute - like a tiny bakery in London, or the West Village. A lovely historical building with a sweet little store front. Go to Cake Betty - you will not be disappointed:)“
