Waitress walked off and never came back with my water. Had to track her down twice to request water before I finally got water. Ordered basted eggs with English muffin, got eggs over medium with whole grain toast. Politely said, I actually ordered English muffin, (did not mention that I didn't order fried eggs) she said "are you sure you don't want the toast? I said, no, I would like the English muffin. She walked off and served several other tables and started filling their drink orders. My husband tracked down a different person to get my English muffin, by then my not basted eggs were cold. I get it, mistakes happen to the best of us. A simple acknowledgment or apology would have been welcome, but not a word. It made me feel like I was the one being difficult and I hate being that person. It isn't cheap eats, so I simply wanted what I paid for. The fried potato hash towns were tasty and well seasoned, the eggs (however they were cooked) were good enough. Overall the food is what you expect for a traditional breakfast. If you don't expect amazing service you will enjoy the meal well enough.

Huge rave to an AMAZING dinner at pacific brimm cafe in parksville…read more They have delicious handcrafted cocktails and craft beers on tap. Their guac & prawn cucumber bites or their home made daily soup (which happened to be cream of mushroom soup yesterday, my fav ) is a must try as a starter. My partner and I also tried the halloumi sliders and the bison burger sliders, which comes in full size as well. We also tried the pesto penne with added chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious, crafted to perfection! The meat was juicy and tender, and the mango chipotle aioli paired perfectly with the halloumi. The penne was el Dante and the house made pesto sauce was bursting with flavour. For dessert we had to try all three desserts; chai tea crème brûlée, the Oreo cheesecake (rotates weekly), and the chocolate espresso mousse. The aromatic chai flavours in the creme brulee complemented the crisp burnt sugar top, and the chocolate mousse was perfect for a coffee lover like myself! The cheesecake was also delicious, and can't wait to see what they have next week! Pacific brimm cafe is the perfect stop for breakfast lunch and dinner (I've also been there for breakfast and it was spectacular!) and well worth the trip wether you are already in parksville, or located in Nanaimo. Can't say enough good things about all the hard work the owners and staff have put into the menu and atmosphere of this fine establishment! 123 Craig street, parksville.

My husband's egg was cold as were the hash browns on my plate. The young woman who delivered the food dropped the plates in front of us - I could see the eggs jiggling as she did that but she left without another word. I took my plate to the counter to request firmly cooked eggs where I was ignored by her. I had to flag down another employee to request the adjustment. I also requested the hashbrowns be warmed up. The eggs came back cooked but the hashbrowns remained luke warm at best. My husband's food was "alright"...we aren't going to return.

You order from the kitchen at the counter and they bring to food out to you. The case looked to be full of tasty treats and reasonably priced. K had the skillet which came with toast that was so good. The skillet itself contained a good amount of food that was very nicely cooked. My bacon and eggs came with a choice of hash browns or toast. I chose the has browns and added a side of sourdough. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon nice and crispy as specified, along with a slice of tomato and some fresh basil which was a nice touch. My London Fog left a little to be desired, but that was but a small blemish in an otherwise excellent breakfast/brunch! If you are in Parksville I'd heartily recommend the Brazen Poppy Bakery Cafe. We'll be stopping on our way to Victoria tomorrow for sure.

Good balance of veggies and rice made me feel very healthy with my meal choices :) My friends shared the grilled cheese and chicken sandwich and said both were very delicious, but the grilled cheese just barely edged out the chicken sandwich as the more delicious option. However, personally I think the sandwich portions seemed a bit small for my appetite and I would probably have needed to add a soup on the side to feel full.

Our dinner in December was a mixture of excellent service and very average food. This time we ate dinner elsewhere but stopped in for breakfast on our departure day, and boy do we wish we hadn't. The lovely K was on a call so I went down and ordered our breakfasts, she poached soft eggs, me sunny up. Both crispy bacon, potatoes and toast. We were the only people in the place at 9:40 AM which should be an obvious red flag. Our previous experience had me concerned, but our timeline dictated it was this place or nothing until the ferry, which is not really an option either. The crispy bacon was fatty and swimming in bacon grease, the potatoes tasted off, the poached eggs very nice, my sunny up had a good skin on them, obviously under the warmer while eggs were poached. The toast almost crumbled when bitten into. Peanut butter and jam were asked for, and delivered. The peanut butter was fine, but the jam was so runny it wouldn't stick to the knife. I ate the eggs and the toast and left everything else as did K. I can't express how bad it was. Our waitress was out setting tables in the attached tent while people waited to be sat. One gentleman actually sat himself, I mentioned he may want to go elsewhere. Hated to do that, but........ We spoke to our server and she was very apologetic, and it looked like the apology was a common refrain. We will for sure stay at the hotel again, but will not set foot in that restaurant again, I'd rather go hungry.

I regretted ordering food pretty immediately, as I watched the staff prepare orders while I waited. In the unreasonably long time it took for a hot dog, fries, and hamburger to be made, I witnessed two embarrassing altercations between staff members, and saw a staff recovering from a nose bleed with a tissue in one nostril (and still behind the counter?!). The fries and microwaved hot dog were fine, but the hamburger was inedible. My friend described it as the worst burger she has ever had. We honestly weren't sure if it was beef. This place is clearly a tourist trap. Unfortunately, we didn't have Internet at the time to be able to check Yelp. Maybe the ice cream is okay (we didn't try it), but stay away.
