7 Best Cafes near Salt Spring Island

“Delicious food, great service, and awesome location! I love how earthy this place feels! Prices are very good for an island restaurant/ cafe and food was excellent. My gf got the breakfast burrito, and I got the forester's breakfast. Thanks again!“

“Yes! We finally have a place for delicious Indian food on the island again! And they cater too! Amazing pakoras, samosas and curries. They can accommodate various dietary needs with the catered menu too!“

“I love Salt spring Coffee, I drink it everyday at home. Stopped in to the cafe on my way to the ferry and I told the cashier that I wanted a coffee, muffin and a roasted veg egg white bite as I pointed to it in the display case. Somehow I didn’t realize how much my bill was when I tapped my card - and ended up waiting over 10 minutes for the girl to hand me a to-go container that had a full eggs Benedict meal with hash browns. I didn’t have time to return it as I was almost late for the ferry and checked my card later that was charged $34 for a meal that I didn’t order or eat. Im confused how the cashier misunderstood my order as I pointed to it in the display case and the full dine-in breakfast menu is in a completely different spot. I know it’s difficult with masks to understand people right now, so maybe training your staff to repeat the order if they are unsure because people have allergies and it’s so disappointing when you are commuting to work and don’t get to eat breakfast!! :(“

“Great place for some good old boys to hang out.“

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick cup or planning to stay a while, this place provides a calm and pleasant environment. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking for good coffee and a cozy place to spend time.“

“I’ll drive to get my beans!! Def my fav roaster on the island!! They also rock a mean raspberry scone. Yum!“

“Cowichan Bay is in itself a beautiful stopping point, with excellent waterfront views. The Leeward Cafe is connected to the world-renowned True Grain Cowichan Bay Euro style bakery.
Great stop for coffee and fresh baked goods or a full lunch.
Enjoy the waterfront atmosphere with friends, family, or chat with someone new. Summer time there is an open deck, we'll worth a stop.
As a local, I certainly go back very regularly.....enjoy“
