You can stock up with tasty, locally-made wieners, ukranian sausages, pepperoni sticks and cold cuts that make a great change from the supermarket muck. Another big plus, according to my wife, is that their meats seem to be significantly leaner than the mass-produced stuff. Personally, I just thought they tasted good. Sure, I've had better but not often. They also have a stall at the Port Alberni Farmer's Market

The sandwiches we took on plane to Hot Springs Cove - Brisket sandwich was tast, the older kiddos really enjoyed the turkey and Brie, the Italian (?) wonderful cappicola cured in house was one of the best I've had.

I would give Eat Fresh 5 stars were it not for the salads. I LOVE the salads and that's my…read moredownfall. I live a 20 minute drive away from the store but I drive there 3-4 times a week to grab a salad. 2-3 times there either are no salads at all made that day or they have the one kind (chef salad) which I don't care for. It's a waste of an hour for me to drive there only to find..... nada. I guess I'm going to have to start making my own salads because I'm tired of the disappointment. Sigh.

If you like your carrot cake with a side of gaslighting…read more.. EatFresh came highly recommended, and I was genuinely looking forward to supporting a local business with a 'good reputation'. But I ended up in what I can only describe as a full-blown carrot cake standoff. I purchased a slice of carrot cake, only to discover, once home, that it contained shredded coconut. I loathe coconut. The texture is unmistakable to anyone who's ever had it (and hates it). So I drove back the next day and politely asked if I could swap it for something else, not a refund, just a coconut-free treat. What followed was like something out of a sitcom. The staff convened a mini tribunal. The cake was taken behind closed doors and inspected. I was assured that the recipe ONLY contained walnuts (and was not to believe my own eyes - and taste buds). I was even handed a new slice and told, confidently, "No coconut here." I opened the box and pointed right at the flecks of the offending ingredient. Still - the manager insisted: "That's walnut." Spoiler alert: it wasn't. The level of denial was surreal. What could've been a simple, friendly interaction instead turned defensive and weirdly authoritarian. No accountability. No flexibility. Just "take it or leave it" and I left with less respect for a business I truly wanted to support. This isn't just about taste. It's about trust. If staff don't know what's in their own products (or worse, deny what's clearly there), it raises concerns for anyone with dietary sensitivities or allergies. I've attached photos of the cake slices for reference. If you love coconut and confrontation, this might be your jam. If not....well, you've been warned.

A pretty good little grocery store in a small town. This is nothing fancy, but they have the…read morebasics, and lots of things you'd find in a larger grocery store (in short, surprisingly good for a small-town grocery). The produce section is pretty good - something I often find wanting in smaller groceries. Their customers are locals, campers, and higher-end tourists, so they cater to quite a range of tastes, and do so year-around. No, this isn't Whole Foods or even a big Thrifty Foods, but it's not bad at all for a town this small, and can meet most needs.

Over the course of our trip we had 4 different soups plus butter chicken and we loved them all. The wicked Thai soup is a must!

Some of their products in their display case looked interesting, but were really pricey. 4.5 stars
