There is a QR code if you want to peruse the menu while waiting. We ordered two sandwiches and two soup & sandwiches. Unfortunately, one of the orders was incorrect but they were quick to remake the sandwich. All the food was great. We also grabbed. GF chocolate mint matcha treat that was awesome. This is a great place to stop when on Vancouver Island.

Easily one of the most popular spots on Vancouver Island…read more The sun peaked out in January and everyone and their mom visited Shirley Delicious Cafe. To be honest, I completely understand why. This cafe is a step above the rest. The inside is cozy, with a cabin-esque vibe and clear ceilings in their dining room for an indoor-outdoor feel. Despite the line of 20+ people, Shirley Delicious worked like a well oiled machine. Their menu included breakfast, lunch, and even a flight of soup (which I so desperately wanted). I ordered their date pastry, a hot caramel latte, and breakfast sandwich with avo. Each item was absolutely delicious. This is also a great location to shop for island goodies. Their storefront is filled with jams, sauces, metal working artwork, etc. Can't believe they can pack so much goodness into four little walls!

I ordered the Turkey bacon panini but they gave me the chicken pesto instead. They also took over 15 minutes to warm it up. I think they forgot my order as I had to go back to the counter to ask. The cakes look good and so I got the individual size chocolate celebration cake. Unfortunately it was so dry. Total disappointment. With so many other places for baked goods and sandwiches in the downtown sechelt area, I'll skip this place in future.

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.
