It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon, but we were able to snag a table right away. Most of the donuts were sold out by that time, so options were pretty limited. I ordered a Matcha and Boston Cream Donut, and my boyfriend got a coffee and Maple Bacon Donut. Service was quick, and the interior had a cozy ambiance. My Matcha was very good, and tasted almost identical to a Starbucks Matcha Latte. The Boston Cream Donut was tasty, but the dough was very thick. It comes down to preference, but I love a lighter/fluffier donut. My boyfriend loved the Maple Bacon Donut though! Overall, a nice place to visit while exploring Tofino.

Tried the cookies and cream, maple bacon, cinnamon sugar, and cinnamon roll. Of them all, cinnamon sugar was the best. But overall would rate the donuts a 2/5. My matcha was a 5, ambiance also 5. Service was pretty quick but not necessarily the friendliest.

Her efficiency did not compromise the quality of the coffee. She knew exactly what she was doing and despite the fact there was a long line, she happily greeted her customers and methodically served each with grace. We ordered our coffee, sat for a bit just observing and enjoying our delicious drink! There are two live-edge benches that probably is enough for 2-3 people to sit. Otherwise it's mostly order to go. We loved everything about it!

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!

I tried a sugar-free raspberry peach muffin and a chai latte. I really liked the muffin - it was dense but soft and very moist. Lots of juicy fruit. I will say that if "sugar-free muffin" is something that sounds appealing to you, you will probably like this, but if not, it's probably not for you because the texture was quite different from a regular muffin. But I liked the wholesome flavour. The chai latte was just the standard, but made well, with a very generous dusting of cinnamon. I got there shortly after they opened and just had to wait in a short line with my drink ready fairly quickly, but they were much busier by the time I was leaving. I think they take card payments now. I paid with cash, but I didn't see any cash only signs and I saw what I think was a card machine at the register.

We''d gone surfing earlier in the day and hadn't had time to eat a normal breakfast so we were…read morefamished by the time we made it to Common Loaf Bake Shop. We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (around 1:15pm) and were greeted to a line out the door. Be prepared to wait; service is incredibly slow and inefficient. We were in line for half an hour and waited another 10 minutes for them to make our order. The menu is split into breakfast (only available to 1:00pm), grilled sandwiches (only available to 3:00pm) and hot drinks. They also have a small selection of pastries (bread, muffins, baklava (randomly) and tarts/cakes/bars). - Ham sandwich ($7.95) - at least the bread was toasted and the cheese melted. Other than that, decent but you could easily make something similar at home. I was still hungry afterwards. - Vegan hummus sandwich ($8.25) - the hummus was light and caramelized onions subtle. Same bread used in all their sandwiches. Not sure why the vegetarian option is pricier than the meat one. Cash only. Don't bother with CL.

The vegan vanilla had a nice consistency but the flavour was very neutral, I couldn't really taste vanilla. The brownie pieces were very good though - fudgy and chewy, and the strawberry sauce tasted really fresh. The small size is a good serving. And it had the right ratios of ice cream to toppings. The toppings were really good but I just wasn't impressed by the lack of flavour in the ice cream itself. I was impressed by how fast they churned out orders - there was a family of 5-6 in front of me and I still got my ice cream about 5 minutes after getting in line. There's a very small number of seats in the shop (like 4) and a few benches outside. Looks like it gets busy in the evenings.

It wasn't too chocolatey, but the whipped cream was nice. We were disappointed by the almond croissant. It wasn't particularly buttery, fluffy, flaky, or warm. I'm not sure if warming up is an option, but I definitely would have liked to have had it warmed and maybe it's a thing they could be offering every time. We found it to be pretty flat and lacking taste. Yes, it did have almond paste inside but I would not get this again. It looks like a few people around us got quiches, so maybe that would be some thing to try if you're looking for a breakfast bite. We overheard someone say that the oat muffin was one of the best oat muffins they've ever had in their life, so maybe check that out instead. The space is really nice inside and they obviously have great marketing because I see the Tofitian sticker everywhere.

I got a flight of the glowing embers ale, kelp stout, dark lager, and spruce tree ale. Dark beers are usually my favourite, but my favourite out of this batch might have actually been the glowing embers, which was described as a candied smoked ale. The caramelly/smoky combination was great. The kelp stout was interesting - I found it had a slightly vegetal finish but wasn't overtly kelpy. If you like stouts, you'll probably like this. All the beers were very enjoyable. The spruce tree ale and kelp stout are probably the two to try if you want something uniquely local. The Japanese street food truck outside was also fantastic! You can grab food from them and bring it inside the brewery. They also have bar snacks (pretzels, chips) inside. The building is cool. There are front and back patios, a spacious main floor, and a hidden, cozier second floor. The bartender that served me was very friendly. I noticed that the staff was very diligent about clearing tables inside but not so much outside, I saw a table on the patio that had abandoned empty glasses sitting on it when I went out to pick up my food truck order and still there when I left.
