Always a pleasure to go to Oma's cafe'. Veggie pizza is special but must phone ahead or it's gone before I arrive - no matter the time.

Vegetarian options: Best veggie pizza going! The thin crust and the ingredients, like pineapple, are key.

Parking: The owners of the attached coffee shop are lovely and so willing to satisfy your often annoying requests.

Went in to get a couple hot chocolates and a couple chocolates. I had just come from the adjoining Bakery. I asked if it was OK to have our baked goods with our hot chocolates and was meant with a rude tone about okay but don't make a mess. After 30 sec of being a bit shocked by her tone and response I asked if we could have those to go. She looked back at me in disgust and said we'll I thought you were staying and already started to put in a cup. We got our drinks in a mug. Quickly drank them and had our dessert. NO MESS MADE. I was put off because who do you think we are? I am a grown woman with my 12 year old granddaughter. 2 half pieces dipped in chocolate and 2 small hot chocolates over $16 and rude service. No thanks will never darken their door again.

If my baby can't eat in public here than neither will I

Great coffees and friendly staff. Always a parking spot close too which is nice. Definitely recommend Shawnigan Coffee House.

If the owner is uncomfortable with breastfeeding, perhaps customer service is not the right job for her. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Seems whenever I need a coffee this spot is closed. Decent coffee. Owner was rude to me.

I am deeply appalled by how this establishment handled a situation where a breastfeeding mother was shamed and asked to cover up. Breastfeeding is a natural and important act, yet the owners had the audacity to compare it to something as inappropriate as urinating in public! The fact that they only issued an apology after community backlash shows a clear lack of empathy and poor character. As a breastfeeding mother myself, I find this behavior unacceptable and would never support a business that treats families this way. If you're looking for a welcoming, respectful environment, this is definitely not the place.

Such a lovely place. We four ladies were greeted by the smell of coffee- and welcomed by friendly faces.
A perfect place to stop a while, enjoy conversation while we ate and drank.
A surprise visit outside by 4 wild Turkeys, who happenchanced to wander by.

Horrified by this owners response regarding breastfeeding rights. Breastfeeding and urinating in public are NOT the same thing. You bring shame to being a woman
Coffee is mediocre at best.

Delicious flat white. Normally I get worried when there isn't an 8 ounce option but the 12 oz was perfect.

Travelling from Ontario to this beautiful part of the country and came across this fantastic coffee and chocolate spot. Unfortunately, ate the goodies before taking this photo!
Wonderful spot with great coffee and hot chocolate. Service was spot on!

Best meeting place in Shawnigan. Yummy drinks and chocolates. Nestled beside a delicious bakery. Update 6 years later... unfortunately I do not go as much it has become quite expensive.
