4 Best Cafes in Tofino

“Really great coffee and a wonderful spot to stop by. They have a nice selection of fresh sandwiches and bakery items to enjoy as well. I had a cappuccino, and it was incredibly smooth, rich, and delicious. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere made for a relaxing coffee break“

“Best breakfast croissant!“

“The čukʷaa haʔuk Cafe which is pronounced as CHOO-kwa ha-OOK is located on The Clayoquot Campus and located within the Naa'Waya'Sum Gardens.

What really stood out to me though was the passion and passion Chef Lisa Ahier had for her food.
I didn’t realize when coming here that Chef Lisa was actually on Dragons Den in 2020. Though I didn’t try her Chowder, sadly, I heard her Wild Salmon Chowder is amazing and definitely worth a try. I personally got the Polenta Fries and a Latte with a Vanilla Shot and holy, they were both great!

I had a chance to talk with Chef Lisa briefly and she is very kind, passionate and sticks to her values which is very admirable. She mentioned that she makes sure her employees get a living wage and she puts quality over quantity, which many don’t do in businesses.

Overall, I had a lovely time here and it was a lovely experience!“

“Quick service and amazing views with a chill vibe. Cappuccino was just ok - tasted a bit watery for my preference. The food was great - we got a mini raspberry almond loaf - moist and flavourful without being too sweet. Egg and bacon sandwich was packed with flavour.“
