I ordered the daily special, which was an eggs benedict featuring vodka-infused bacon. I ordered at…read morethe counter, and since it was a weekday, the service was quick and the cafe wasn't too busy. The caramelized onions were exceptionally flavorful--so delicious! The biscuit was perfect--buttery, fluffy, and nicely crusty on the outside. The hollandaise was also quite good. However, the eggs were a bit overcooked for my preference; the whites were solid and the yolks were mostly set rather than runny. Overall, it was a very flavorful meal, and I will definitely return when I'm back on the Sunshine Coast

First glance at the menu here and you realize it's not unique breakfast/brunch items you haven't…read moreseen before, but it's the quality they put out compared to other local places in Sechelt. Opting for the Basted Basic, you can't mess up a solid plate including a nicely sized biscuit, a good portion of bacon, perfectly poached eggs and freshly mashed avocado. Wifey enjoyed her eggs benny, while my son was just happy to receive a squishy pig toy with his Piglet Pack (kids meal). They also have so baked sweet or savory pastries to go as well. There is both limited internal and outdoor seating, so I could imagine how packed it can be at peak hours. Order at the counter, and they'll deliver your items, and bus your own table (one of the workers graciously offered to do it for us).

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.

We showed up last minute on a Monday; and there was a line out the door…read more With fingers crossed we lined up. The wait wasnt too bad. But definitely worth noting. Inside is quaint and warm. We were seated at the bar where the view is the kitchen. It felt like service with a show! The chefs really knew how to turn out breakfast fast. It was like watching a well oiled machine. My veggie eggs benny was delicious. My partner had the heartwood breakfast subbed egg for bacon. We were both happy with our orders. My only note was that the smashbrowns needed more flavour I'm not a ketchup person... But needed it desperately for the smashbrowns. We would definitely go back. The food was fresh and fast. The staff were hospitable and we were glad to have stumbled upon Heartwood.

We came here almost right at opening for brunch and so glad we did. It started to fill up as soon as we were finishing up. Ukee fried chicken and French toast: 5/5 delicious, incredibly fresh. Perfectly balanced with sweet and salty. Came with fresh fruit to lighten up the dish. Heartwood breakfast: 4.5/5 again it came out quick and fresh. Loved that it came with fruit. I wished the potatoes were a bit more smashed so it would be crispier but other than that it was very flavorful. I also need to add that their buttered toast was surprisingly good. I'm not sure what they do differently with their toast, but it's good! Would definitely come back the next time we're in town.
