The service was fast and efficient! I couldn't help but smile when I received my coffee! It was beautiful and the aromas instantly drew me in for my first drink. As I tasted the coffee it was an explosion of flavor. I was hooked! After, I finished my latte I realized that I had to take some of this coffee home with me. Thankfully, they told me what blend to purchase and I was able to take it home. I loved how the decorations had a fun local flare to them. It felt like a classic beach town coffee shop. They also had lots of baked goods to choose from. I unfortunately didn't get a chance to try any. But, I will next time! Tofino Coffee is a 100% must! I'll always stop by for a coffee when I'm in town. Latte-The latte was smooth, rich, creamy, and nutty. With a slight bitter note. It was very well balanced. It had deep notes of milk chocolate, dark caramel, cocoa nibs, golden raisin, toasted coconut, with earthy notes! Everything that you could want in a latte! The milk was sweet and frothy. And, addictively good! I savored every last sip!

This is a great cafe to grab a coffee, any other hot drinks &/or something tasty to eat. Word to…read morethe wise, kitchen shuts an hour prior to actual closing time. So no tasty sandwiches that last hour. However, you can still order the remaining baked treats that last hour there open (& really, that's not a bad thing if you have a sweet tooth!). The layout feels like it's two shops & allows for lots mixed seating & one great long table with giant benches. This also means one needs to be able to navigate through tighter spots easily if you're sitting down before your order is ready (or for my friends that look for accessible work arounds, going through the doors opposite to the sign suggestions to avoid any unfortunate drink/food disasters would be a good strategy). There's separate entrance/exit doors but the way the long line up to order occurs inside, the exit door is smarter to enter into the cafe (if you're able). There's also some tables outside along the street & a bench along the wall. If the weather is decent, I usually opt for that outside option. Otherwise, I prepare myself for a louder cafe experience being that this location is busy right to the end of the day. The staff is always friendly here. I greatly appreciate that the cashier took time to ask about any soy in certain baked treat options I was considering (after finding out I couldn't do a tasty turkey sandwich I was hoping for). In the past I've enjoyed breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches. Both worthy of me to return to enjoy again. Being that it's awhile since I stopped here, I opted to try their seasonal latte. Usually I go with their tasty mocha. So I have to say for all the spices listed in the drink, I really didn't taste the difference between that special seasonal latte & a regular latte. However, still a very decent latte & gave me the needed caffeine boost after wandering through my first QB Christmas market before stopping at the cafe. As Qualicum Beach is known for their senior population, this place (like many others) has the basics checked off for accessibility. However, if I had anyone joining me with a walker or wheelchair, I would definitely suggest we find a table first & then I would go up to order for everyone. This being even with a cane, I find it is really hard to navigate back to the tables once you've got the order. They have a small bathroom tucked at the back but you need to be able to navigate around many tables to reach it. The lightning never bothers my eyes in here but at full capacity, anyone with hearing issues or noise sensitivity would have issues. Overall, a decent local place with a lot of regular tasty menu items.

"Why Would You Want That?"…read more The wife & I went to Barkley Cafe for breakfast this morning. She ordered the Breakfast Burrito while I ordered the Cold Smoked Salmon Bagel. I told the cashier (male with grey curly hair) that I wanted my bagel open-faced. He paused, looked at me, then said "Why would you want that?". Why would I want that? Because I'm not a moray eel who can unhinge his jaw to fit tall things like a stacked bagel sandwich into my mouth. What kind of question is that? The vast majority of the 100+ bagel places I've been to in my life serve them open-faced by default. Why this guy was so perplexed by my request is baffling. If some customer requests soy milk instead of dairy milk in their latte, does he also ask "Why would you want that?". If some customer requests their English Muffin toasted, does he also ask "Why would you want that?". How about you stick to fulfilling the customer's order without challenging them to justify it? Anyways, the wife felt her Breakfast Burrito was just average, and my Cold Smoked Salmon Bagel was disappointing, though it was ultimately served open-faced. The lox didn't taste smoked at all, and there were hardly any capers. The arugula was messy without contributing much flavor. It would've been nice if they added tomatoes (like most bagel places). Not gonna bother coming back here. Also, the seating is very cramped.

Is Mislabeling Menu Items Legal in Ucluelet?…read more I ordered a "BAGEL + LOX" for breakfast there this morning. What I got was salmon on a bagel. That is NOT lox. I asked the girl working the cashier station about it, and she said go speak with the chef. So I went to the person I saw working the griddle and asked him why they're calling their salmon "lox", when it clearly isn't lox. He said it is lox. I said, "No, it isn't. Lox is a fillet of brined salmon and doesn't look anything like what you serve on a bagel." The look on his face betrayed his sudden awareness that I was right. He then appeared to start getting uncomfortable, and began looking for someone else to join the conversation. I told him not to bother. Their food isn't bad, but accurate labeling is important so as not to mislead the customer.
