A lovely place to stop and stretch as you peruse the sugary goods available. We came on a rainy day…read moreand it was empty, so we could look around without any rush. The shop is small, so it will take you all of 5 minutes to look around if you aren't buying anything. We picked up some chocolate as souvenirs and a cup of their home made salted caramel icecream. It was too cold to stand outside, so we blasted the heater in the car and enjoyed our icecream before moving on. Very creamy, not too sweet and a lovely treat! One cup is more than enough for two people.

Initially, I had not planned on visiting this store but randomly found it and ended up coming back…read morea second time! It's a great place for souvenirs to take home and for friends and family. The location is right across the trail entrance for the "Hole in the Wall" hike. Upon entering, you'll be basked in the delicious smell of caramel/toffee/burnt sugar. Their most popular items are the various nut brittles, but they also sell caramel corn, popcorn mixes, sugared almonds, homemade chocolate, fudge, and ice cream. Brittle types included sesame, cashew, peanut, almond, pecan, and macadamia, and they come in either bags (~$7-8.49) or tubs (~$17). We tried the mixed brittle, which has a variety of nuts (but no sesame) plus coconut. It's simply amazing and so addicting. If you think you'll want 1 package, buy more; you won't be able to get enough! I also bought a tub of caramel corn, a bag of sugared almonds and 3 pieces of homemade chocolate to try. The chocolate is $32/lb ($34/lb for sugar free). They were ok, perhaps a bit overpriced as 3 pieces ended up costing $5. The caramel corn is also light, crispy, and addictive, and I haven't opened the sugared almonds yet. I'd highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area or driving to/from Tofino. Your friends and family will also love you for this deliciously addictive souvenir!

When you're filling up for gas across the street at the Chevron, browsing for snacks for the rest…read moreof the trip to Tofino/Bamfield/Nanaimo, instead of opting for the usual gas station fare, run across the street to the Alberni Health Market bulk section. They've got tons of nuts, dried fruit, wasabi peas, jujubes (yes the "healthy" ones) and at prices that we could not believe. I mean a huge bag of almonds for a few dollars! Once you get over that odd health food store aroma (what is that exactly) you can fill your little bags with a plethora of treats without worrying about it breaking the bank. A great alternative to a bag of doritos (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I stopped at this Cafe to see what they had on their menu board, and saw that they made sandwiches. Perfect! The tuna sandwich was the best and biggest I have had in a long time. It also hadn't been sitting in a display wrapped in plastic, but the friendly worker made it fresh and wrapped it in a paper sandwich wrap. This will be one of my "go to" stops from now on when heading down island.
