Stopped by because of the claim of having gluten free breakfast ood items.
We were there right when they opened, one of 2 tables and then boom the place was packed with customers. And we could see why: Excellent tasting food and we found the portion size was just right- my partner is a big eater and he was pleasantly stuffed. You do pay a bit more but the food was of excellent quality and prepared very well.
Coffee was done expertly.
It is cafeteria style- go to the counter to put in your order and then your food is quickly delivered to your table.
The place has a great vibe: reclaimed wood furniture, repurchased burlap coffee bags as upholstery and local artist art on the wall. Very inviting: small patio outside the Cafe on the street: great for people watching.
Definitely will return if we are in the area again. My partner couldn't stop raving about the place when we discussed our experience to the friends we were visiting.
Nestled in a historic train station, this coffee shop offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with cozy wooden benches and cushions. The space features rotating local artwork and a friendly, attentive staff, making it a perfect spot for those seeking gluten-free and vegan-friendly ambiance.

Stopped into White Rabbit this morning to grab a cookie, muffin and coffee. I am pretty regular there as I have a few allergies and they have ample gluten free and vegan options which I need. The muffin today was strawberry lemon and it was to die for. I also love their apple cinnamon but honestly I haven't tried one that isn't great. My two friends came with me and we all grabbed the should be famous choco chunk cookie. The staff is always so friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. This place is 100% a hidden gem and a must visit.

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.

Gorgeous food!
Many gluten free and Vegan options. We chose two savory, and two sweet. And they were so big we took some home.
Friendly staff... and they didn't even mind that we only had water. I would love to try a coffee or tea flight next time. They look amazing.

Went here in the afternoon to get some coffee and was hoping to get a gluten free treat. Website made it look like there were safe options for gluten free but they were not celiac safe. Unfortunately the bar and bakery stand looked filthy and there were flies everywhere. Didn't even end up drinking the coffees we got because we were so disgusted.

First time going and we were super happy. We did a quick search of best breakfast places and it was top of the list. They have vegan, gluten free options which is really nice. My husband ordered a Hash, it was loaded with veggies and bacon. I had the veggie eggs Benny. So yummy. We had great service by a lovely young lady. Super polite and kind. We will be back
Forgot to mention a really great cold brew.
