I took a two-month hiatus from my job to travel the western United States and Canada with my good friends. Needless to say, I saw a great number of surf shops and campgrounds. This place. This place? It does both. It has the most dope, unassuming, chill, and friendly surf shop on the same piece of land where the campground is. The campground is hidden back in this awesome old-growth pacific northwest rain forest-like area with picturesque moss and gigantic trees everywhere. There is a huge communal fire pit near the parking lot for campers to enjoy. There are also bathrooms and, I believe showers, if I remember correctly, on site. Now the surf shop. This is not some freaking commercial, mall-type Billabong, or chain boardwalk surf shop. This is a lets-get-you-on-the-waves kind of surf shop. It has what you NEED and nothing else. If you are a surfer with your own board, then they have you covered with things you might need like wax, fins, and a wet suit if you don't have your own. If you are a surfer w/o a board, because, for example, you are like me and your mode of transport didn't allow for it, then they also have you covered. Why? Because, these guys have some of the most competitive surfboard rentals in the Tofino-Ucluelet area. Pair that with the discount you get if you are camping here and this place is prime. We had been staying at some crap resort (McKenzie Beach Resort) up near Tofino where people were packed in like sardines with campsites on the freaking road. We bounced and moved here. Good move. This place is super laid back and has awesome staff manning the surf shop (a family and friends operation from what I can tell). I'm originally from the Midwest and learned to surf on one of the Great Lakes (Lake Superior). Why is this relevant you ask? Well, they had "Surf's Up" on every morning in the Surf Shop and you could go in, grab a cup of Joe, catch the surf forecast for the day, and watch Chicken Joe (home break: "The Elbow" Sheboygan, Lake Michigan) get barrelled on the TV. One of the coolest places I was on my whole two-month trip.

Great place! A good stopover after your day at the beach for a drink or a small bite.read more

I would suggest that they get some bar stool for the high top counter outside to add some additional seating. I love that they bake everything here in house. The portions are good. The chicken sandwich is highly recommended. On another visit we also had the almond croissant and the monte blanc cruffin. The almond croissant is sliced with the almond paste added in after the croissant was baked. This tehcnique is a smart shortcut but not a true almon croissant in the classic sense. It's not super sweet but can be heavy. They have a decent selection of drinks but there's quite a markup on the beer and cider. Recommended.

The lounge atmosphere was nice though with a great view, couches to chillax on, an art gallery connected to it for you to explore, etc. Servers brought the drinks and food to our table when ready as it could take a while.

On a Thursday afternoon, with lots of Pacific Coast Trail hikers waiting for the bus, the only game…read morein town was the Bamfield Market Café. The nearby Bamfield Pub was either closed or out of business. The outdoor deck with tables is a nice shaded place to eat, so we decided to give it a go. Turns out both the menu and the ordering of food items happens not at your table, but at the cashier of the Market which is at the same store-front but a different and seemingly unassociated entrance - confusing at first, but manageable. We ordered a BLTC (what's that? a Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich with a slice of American cheese) and a grilled ham & cheese. Both sandwiches were prepared promptly and served with fries - the sandwiches were edible but nothing special - I removed the slice of American cheese from mine - while common in these parts, it's not a plus. The fries were pretty standard, and offered with gravy or ketchup -- we took the ketchup packets and had to squeeze a lot of them out to get that working. So, do I recommend this restaurant? If you're hungry, they serve food, and they are your only restaurant option at lunchtime (at least when we were in town). So yes, I'd go again. Would I recommend the food? Not really -- nothing wrong with it, but C$ 35.70 for two sandwiches and fries was a bit pricey for such marginal quality. On the other hand, they are remote, so one can be glad that they offer anything at all. The other half of the operation (the Market part) is tiny with very limited selection, but they do offer many of the things Pacific Coast Trail hikers need. So while your options are limited, what they have should get you through (including some good ice-cream bars).

AKA: The Market Cafe…read more Upon entering Bamfield you quickly realize that your food options have become pretty limited. However, this little cafe, located right beside The Market, Bamfield's general store, is the perfect little reprieve for those that hunger for a good meal before an epic adventure or just returning from one. You won't be blown away by mind altering flourishes of culinary wizardry, but you will be presented with wonderfully large portions and deliciously prepared meals. Seating is plentiful and the serving staff (consisting of just one waitress) is very friendly and welcoming. You may need to flag her down if the place gets a little hectic, but she is quick to come over and help you with what you need. We came here for both breakfast and lunch and in both instances the food here left me satisfied and well fed. For lunch, their seafood chowder was quiet good, with good portions of fish and shrimp. My favourite though was their Bammer-time breakfast: hash browns, choice of sausage/bacon/ham, eggs any way you want them, avocados, and hollandaise sauce - all in one bowl. Whoa. It was definitely Bammer-time. And yes, the bowl was totally bigger than my head. Bonus: The cafe and the general store share the same wifi, which is free!

They have a core menu of coffee/tea and sandwiches, and rotating feature drinks and baked goods. The food was great. I got a hot honey "halloumi" bagel, a slice of carrot pistachio bundt cake, and a watermelon refresh matcha. The "halloumi" bagel (which is actually made with tofu) was interesting and very tasty, with tofu, avocado, cucumber, and lots of slaw (with more on the side). I love the sweet/spicy/savoury thing so it was no surprise that I loved this sandwich. The carrot pistachio cake was like a carrot cake with a subtle Middle Eastern twist from the pistachios and rose petals. Fresh and moist cake, not too sweet even with the glaze. The watermelon matcha was also really good! It did turn a swampy colour when stirred, but the flavours went well together! It was also very appreciated that they used actual watermelon juice instead of a syrup. Seems like they used a pretty good matcha too. $15 bagel, $8 cake, $7.5 matcha. This was kind of expensive, but seems like everything in Tofino is pricy, and this passed the quality check. Also worth noting that because the food is made to order, you may have to wait a while. My matcha was out in less than 5 minutes but the bagel took 15-20 minutes. Definitely give them a try if you're nearby and want to try a coffee shop with some different offerings!

Plenty of takeaway while we were there, so you know the food is good, and comes out hot. Our orders were taken (traditional brekkie) and our orders came out quite quickly in spite of how busy they were. The potatoes were a little plain for me, but I peppered as I usually do, and even added a bit of salt which I never do.
