Always fantastic food and friendly service! Online stuff needs work though - online ordering perpetually says "coming soon" and the website menu is often out of date. But I'll give them a pass for that because the ability to go to a restaurant as a celiac and safely order anything I want off the menu is so fantastically wonderful I can't take a star off for such a small oversight.

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.

HMMMM. Delicious fish in a light and crispy gluten free batter. GF fries. Burgers for those who insist on a glutinous diet. Great meal.

Lovely place to stop for coffee and a bite to eat. Food is prepared ahead and warmed - surprisingly tasty. Some gluten free availability. Excellent coffee, great view of Departure Bay.
Bathroom was clean. Hand soap was, unfortunately, scented.
