    Wonderful cafe in this neat artist hub area, worth the hike up the hill (which is beautiful). Lots of seating especially outdoors, with a view too! The hot food menu changes regularly and they have brunch until 12. They also have lots of yummy baked goods and sandwiches. Portions are huge! - I shared an almond croissant with my family. Pretty good. - they have giant pretzels. - I had an Apple cinnamon pancake. Giant plate, I was so full. Really good, great texture with cinnamon and small oat clusters giving it some crunch. Sweet but not too much. Loved it. - others ordered fish tacos. Huge plate, two pieces of fish in each taco! Comes with a huge salad too. - my son raved about his grilled cheese and soup combo. Don't be afraid of the hike up. It's worth it!

    Another popular spot amongst the locals and visitors! The cafe was cozy and the food was delicious. Prices are also very reasonable. I ordered the tofu scramble bowl for $20 and it was massive!

    Good view and quiet, perfect one day get away trip from the city. It will be perfect spot to grab food after the hike.

    Great place for brunch on Bowen Island. We got a panini, a ham and cheese croissant, and a baked good to go (I forgot what it was ). R really loved the ham and cheese croissant that he requested to go again to get his own the next day! The panini was also quite good. Would definitely recommend this place on Bowen Island!

    Lamb Burger

    A gorgeous brunch spot with a beautiful view Artisan Eats is a local favourite in Artisan Square Bowen Island! Their lavender latte was to die for! Made with Galileo Espresso Beans, it had the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The lamb burger was super tender and juicy, though a tad on the pricey side. It got a little salty as I kept eating it as well but it was definitely made from fresh, quality ingredients!

    Got the Pistachio Croissant ($4.25) and the Cinnamon Croissant bun ($4.25). Loved the Pistachio Croissant as I found it super different than the usual Almond/Chocolate Croissant. The pistachio flavour also really shined through and was delicious! The Cinnamon Croissant bun was also quite enjoyable, but I wasn't a big fan of the glaze on top and how dense the cinnamon pastry was. I think I prefer the traditional cinnamon buns that are usually light and fluffy. Also, the server was super kind at the front as we were about to order a hot chocolate from Artisan Eats Cafe & Fine Foods, but she had recommended us visit the chocolate shop a few shops down as she said that shop would have better hot chocolates than them. They also had an outdoor seating area, and there was a huge table just outside the restaurant and it was super cute because in the middle of the table, they had plants growing out from it!

    Amazing new dishes all the time by Chef William Hayes. This is his latest take on a Mexican - Asian Fusion, called El Cilantro. Vibrant, full-bodied, and yet leaves you wanting more. In the famous words of The Terminator, I'll be back.

    Americano, Artisan Muffin and hand made ham and cheese croissant.

    A must do once you drive over from the mainland on thr morning. The croissants are thr best I have ever had. I would even say better than Freds Breads that used to be at oak and 41st. I now at least have a go to croissant place but its a bit of a trip to get here from cloverdale. A great little shop eith amazing food, excellent coffee and a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit. We saw hummingbirds in the hanging plants outside and lots of dragon flies. kick back relax and unwind a bit from your mainland high tension life here before explori g the rest of town. We sincerily enjoyed the items. We ordwred and appreciated the quick ser ixe and smiles from out counter person. Great start to a first trip to Nbowen Island.

    On a wimp to discover Bowen Island, we rode the 20-minute ferry from Horseshoe Bay to the island as foot passengers on Sunday morning to check out the local flavours. After cruising through the farmers' market near the pier, we took a steep hike up to Artisan Square - a small recently developed cul-de-sac perched on top of a hill overlooking Howe Sound with shops, galleries, studios, restaurants and cafes. This restaurant is probably the biggest one on the square tugged at the end of the cul-de-sac. The casual dining room with timber furniture and communal tables offers a great view of the Sound while the patio seatings evoke memory of breakfast in a quiet alley in Notting Hill. I had their Bowen Island breakfast with eggs, toast, sausage and crispy fired potatoes. Every item on my plate was nicely done, particularly the golden potatoes, crispy and soft. This a perfect place for city folks looking for a weekend brunch slightly out of the way followed by an easy hike on well maintained and quiet trails from Snug Cove to Killarney Lake before heading back to town to do grocery shopping for the up coming week.

    The baked goods behind the glass looked amazing so we bought a couple items to take home with us - a lemon donut, and a raspberry filled pastry. Our breakfast here was good. Nothing worth sending out a postcard, but good. I had a tomato and asparagus quiche and my partner had a breakfast wrap. Both were good. The restaurant is located on a cute little artsy loop above Bowen Island. The restaurant is cute and it has a good view of the harbour. I'd go here again.

    it's lunchtime.

    Welcome to Bowen, where good is great and service is something that may or may not be important. I know, I know, this place makes pretty darn good food, from the bakery items to the sandwiches and salads, you're probably gonna enjoy your meal here, but the service can be hit and miss. It's one of those places where a lot of the staff are working on their first job (read: young teens) and maybe some of these kids will not end up with a career in the service industry. And that's, okay. But this is another of Bowen's businesses that seem to think being on "island time" makes slow service a thing. It doesn't. Bottom line here, good food, nice physical plant (located in the trendy Artisan Square) with nearly unobstructed views of Howe Sound (depending on where you sit), but could benefit from a few more employees who really wanna be there. With all that said, Artisan Eats is still one of the best places on Bowen to eat. And what does that say about island time?
