    Almond croissant
    Cal C.

    I happened to stay within a few blocks of this shop which happened to be a blessing. Coffee is great. So are fresh baked croissant and baguette. What is above and beyond is the service. I have had lots of great coffee in Seattle including my own roasted coffee but it is a gem when you find a place that serves great coffee and matching services. Thanks Nevada and the team. I hope this small town stays this way forever.

    Flat white to go. Small but great

    Heard good thing and it lived up. Small place but with great style and great stuff to purchase and great coffee. Had an excellent flat white and enjoyed the vibes. Also was able to pick up some coffee filters for my pour over reign of home brew time.

    Yummy

    I'll definitely give this place another try. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was pretty good, but the abundance of hard surfaces made it unnecessarily loud when it filled up. The lemon curd in the slice was perfect but the shortcrust was slightly under done. The croissants were quite good and obviously made in house with good butter. Again just slightly under baked. The spinach and feta had green onions in the mix which I didn't appreciate but others might. I found the onions overpowering. The Basque cheesecake was delicious but again seemed a touch overbaked and fell apart when it was served. The coffee was well above average. Unfortunately, the tea was made with less than boiling water so it turned out weak and bitter. So many positive points but almost as many problems. Maybe just a bad day? If I'm back this way I'll try again.

    Dry sandwiches, mediocre pastries and baked goods, not super hospitable. Coffee is great!

    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.

    Food outstanding service is quick and professional the coffee is extremely good!…read moreThe people are friendly

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!
