There are several shops and this market to wander through. The market has grocery items cafe, and a bakery. Grabbed a sandwich for lunch and some desserts from the bakery. The sandwich was a roast beef sandwich that was delicious. Great portion of roast beef and not stingy on the mayo or mustard. Easy to share the sandwich with my wife. The desserts from the bakery were amazing. Had to get the Nanaimo bars and butter tarts. So delicious! Like your mom used to make. It was raining so I thought the goats took shelter. But managed to snap a photo of one right when we left.

Sweet or savoury, vegan or not, Maiden Donuts is a must try experience whether you are visiting the coast or a resident looking for treat deliveries right to your doorstep.

We stopped by here while driving back from the Whistler area to Vancouver…read more A friend had recommended this spot to us as a nice spot to take a driving break and refuel - and clearly a lot of other people had the same idea, as it was pretty packed! A few people had laptops and books out and appeared quite settled in at the few tables inside. There was plenty of additional seating in the outdoor patio though, so we were able to quickly grab two seats. Service was super friendly. FOOD // We got a 12oz latte and a maple walnut donut to share. The donut was delicious - so fluffy! - and the latte was also made well, balanced and a good accompaniment to the donut. If we weren't so full, I would've been tempted to get another donut... Next time!

This was only my third time here at Fox & Oak coffee & bakery…read more I've only ever had coffee & donuts here. It's usually just a stopover to or from Whistler or when visiting Squamish. This visit was the absolute charm. I found my new favourite donut here - the Maple Walnut. So amazing. This cafe puts Squamish on the map. At times the lineup is long but steadily moving. It's very busy here so don't expect too much peace & quiet one might find at other coffee shops. The surrounding location is a great place to wonder around & take a nice walk. The views of the world famous Stawamus Chief Mountain from outside this cafe are stunning. Shannon Falls is less than 10 minutes away. Service here is laid back & small town chill.

We also picked up the banana cheesecake, and it was packed with banana flavour. It was definitely a great choice for banana lovers. Everything is ready to go and nicely packed, making it super convenient for a quick dessert stop. Service was fast and friendly. The bakery has a few tables inside, but if they are full, you can enjoy your treats outside or head across the street to the Vancouver Island Regional Library, where there are benches that make a nice little dessert break spot. A simple, convenient, and delicious stop to experience a true Nanaimo classic!

The glazed is not overly sweet and the yeasty texture is just right. Also went for a bacon maple donut and it is like a meal by itself. Totally a fan.

Amazing! Their donuts are top tier and probably among the…read morebest I have ever had - fresh and delicious. lots of interesting flavours - but even their honey dip are next level. their cinnamon buns are also epic. I do not live near Courtney but have considered flying in just to get some of the donuts and cinnamon buns. Anyone who goes to the area I highly recommend stopping in. The only possible negative aspect is the limited hours of operation and that there is always a line up. But the line up is cause they are so good that hordes of people go and not cause of slow service. They also have great beverage selection both hot and cold. Their London Fog is in my top 5 and I consider myself a London Fog addict. I am glad I do not live near by cause I would end up being like 400lbs if I had easy access to it. So good. I would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could.

They are prolly better and definitely more interesting than Tim Hortons. I see a bigger jump in the local ice cream shops than with Bigfoot and other donuts. The dough needs to hit this light and fluffy sweet spot for me. Maybe I was spoiled on other spectacular specialty donut shops so I'm a harder sell. Good quick service and long lines everyone else thinks they are the bomb so you should def try it out. And I'll retry them again and update this review depending on how it goes.

The tea comes sweeten or unsweetened and if you are looking for a non carbonated drink this will get the job done. The lid is interesting too see photo. A great place for a road trip breakfast.

It is situated in a very cute space and loved that it was dairy free with a creamy dressing. Good balance of veggies and rice made me feel very healthy with my meal choices :) My friends shared the grilled cheese and chicken sandwich and said both were very delicious, but the grilled cheese just barely edged out the chicken sandwich as the more delicious option. However, personally I think the sandwich portions seemed a bit small for my appetite and I would probably have needed to add a soup on the side to feel full. Order at the counter, grab a number and table and your food will be brought to you. Water is self serve and they also sell coffee beans to go.
