Great cafe, friendly service and pays a living wage so no tips
Recommended by friends, then told by a First Nations historian working on campus that the salmon chowder would change your perspective on life ……..so we went for a late lunch today.
Salmon chowder, cornbread and polenta fries. All absolutely delicious!
The service was friendly and welcoming!

Located on The Clayoquot Campus within the Naa'Waya'Sum Gardens, the čukʷaa haʔuk Cafe (pronounced CHOO-kwa ha-OOK) is a hidden gem. Chef and owner Lisa Ahier, formerly of the famous SoBo restaurant, brings passion and skill to the menu, which is led by what's fresh and shaped by the weather. Fresh, local ingredients made with love result in extraordinary food. Guests enjoyed the Polenta Fries, a Latte with a Vanilla Shot, curried lentil soup with a large crispy biscuit, and the Wild Salmon Chowder. The chocolate hazelnut cookie and carrot cake are also sublime. The cafe offers delicious, flavourful food and house-made cold, refreshing drinks. The service is fantastic, with kind staff creating a safe haven to recharge, relax, and restore. The grounds are lovely, with calm nature for al-fresco ambience, though care is needed on pathways for accessibility. The space has so much intention, with a spirit of wholeness. It is decent value for money and a place to visit multiple times.
