Out of the three places I’ve tried in Nanaimo this might be my favorite Nanaimo bar. It’s thinner, which means each bite had more balanced ratio of chocolate, cream, and crust. The crust has a nice mix of nuts and is perfectly crunchy (I believe it’s gluten free). The cream layer is not too sweet and overpowering either. Overall a delightful treat with iced coffee! My companion had a bagel sandwich which was delicious as well. Loved this cute little cafe.

Vegan and gluten free no longer needs to mean awful but apparently this place isn't aware. Truly one of the worst breakfast sandwiches I've ever had and the coffee leans in hard on the excessively acidic profiles that I generally find unpleasant.

Gorgeous cafe, I got the portobello mushroom sandwich on gluten free bread, and a matcha latte and both were amazing. The flavour on mushroom was so creamy and salty and the matcha late was very smooth and just the right amount of sweet. Super reasonably priced and beautiful interior!
