We love good food. We travel with our stomachs. This place was way above expectation!…read more Was here on a Tuesday. Turns out Taco Tuesday so ordered one of each and a clam chowder. Everything seemed done with fresh ingredients. Over filled tacos, of 3 types, cod, curried cauliflower, and a chorizo potato. Could not decide which was better. Each were great. Pair that with an excellent clam chowder and it was a hit. You can tell the chowder was made from scratch, no bagged veggies here. Seasoning was fresh. It's a wonderful dinner when it far exceeds expectations, this was one of them. Add in the view and the service and it's a winner. Pender Island of all places. They live well here. Highly recommended.

* Complete freshness failure *…read more This cafe was supposed to open at 9am. Got there around 9:05 and it was dark inside with no sign of life. No breakfast for us! But we were hungry so we waited around a bit. Around 9:15 or so a young guy (perhaps a student on summer break) strolled up with a plate carrying four English muffin breakfast sandwiches. He opened the door, and then said, "What would you like?" As we looked over the cabinet with all of the baked goods which clearly were from days past with the exception of the four new English muffin sandwiches, we decided it wasn't a good idea to eat breakfast here. On the bright side, the cafe is located in a beautiful spot perched on the side of a hill overlooking the water. Here is an outside shot of the cafe building with the nice background: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vtiyy1JY-baaaXgZJReX8A?select=KT2xfswnsBui8SssyAMOqw But I am not a fan of stale bakery products from a previous day being offered as fresh!

Hands done the best place on Pender Island! I enjoyed several meals here and would come back just…read moreto eat here again. Please get the olives to start. An absolute must, served warm with a fragrant and flavourful olive oil. The olives are so simple yet the chef adds a ton of behind the scenes flavours (think, marinating in a bunch of complimentary flavours). I ordered the vegan and GF dal one night! Huge portions with fresh shaved vegetables and a generous serving of lentils. A hearty and comforting meal that packs a ton for protein. I was utterly stuffed for hours after this meal. Next night, I ordered the vegan and GF pizza (no fake cheese, just a ton of partnered vegetables, herbs, and pine nuts). I loved this dish. Again, huge servings and a ton of delicate touches. The roasted squash added such a lovely texture and the dill and pine nuts were an excellent choice. We also got the salad, which was anything but basic. Pine nuts and herbs and a sweet, savoury dressing. It was all super excellent. Thank you for making our island experience truly remarkable!

I got many things and loved every single thing. I wish their website had a menu but I'll do my best to sum it up! Savoury items: Veg salad (it came with pickled shallots, beets, yam, a ton of cranberries, pumpkin seeds, feta, on a bed of greens with vinaigrette dressing). This salad was huge and had so many flavours and textures. Too many cranberries for my liking but the salad was packed! The pickled shallots were a nice touch! Vegan sausage roll was elite! How it was so buttery and crusty and the vegan sausage was flavored well! What a find! Spanakopita was another gem! Packed full of spinach and cheese and pretty hefty! It melts in your mouth too! Sweet: Caramel nut brownie like bar. It was dense, sweet, and had a nice chew! Good but not my fav! Nanaimo bar was sweet and very soft! Really good bar! Caramel bar was all our favorites! I highly recommend this one! It's not over sweet but has a cooky like texture! My friend also got a sandwich that was packed! I love this place! It's clearly a winner and hit among locals and visitors alike!

Beef pot pie, soup, blueberry scone, and ham and cheese croissant and the clam chowder! All i can say is that, food here is great! Very nice island cafe. The sandwich was packed with quality ingredients. Beef pot pit was hearty and held a lot of filling. The scone was also very good. Full of blueberry flavour. The ham and cheese croissant was excellent. Pastry was nicely done and inside was hearty combo ham and swiss cheese. The soup was one of the best clam chowders ive ever had. Even had bacon in them. Wow! Only thing i would change is that they should offer to grill up and warm The sandwiches or the pot pies. All they offered is a small communal microwave. Lol. But nice island vibe and good coffee. Service was quick and efficient. Staff always ready to help and provide whats needed. Cheers! Happy eating!
