    Cup of soup
    Natalie W.

    Stopped by to grab some food and hangout before catching our ferry. It had a cozy vibes and was constantly busy during the time we were there. They do have quite a few places to sit, considering how small the space is. They have a variety of items to choose from; including sandwiches, salad, soup, and baked goods. We had the Mediterranean tuna sandwich and a cup of lentil soup. The sandwich was filling. Plenty of tuna and veg inside. It came with a side of those krinkle cut Himalayan salt chips from Costco. And ifykyk they are delicious. The soup was nice on the rainy day. It had a nice texture and just overall tasted good. Only complaint was that I wish the bread had been toasted slightly. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch and I'd gladly come back.

    Very cute cafe with delicious baking and breakfast sandwiches. The patio has a nice coastal community hippie vibe. The locals and tourists both go to this little cafe. We parked down the street, as the cafe's lot is very tiny

    Sandwiches
    Colene C.

    A solid place for all kinds of sandwiches and baked goods. The strawberry rhubarb muffin was my fave and I would give five stars just for that. Nice and crusty too, soft and chewy on the inside with nice chunks of fruit. We also tried a variety of sandwiches: veggie, Turkey, grilled cheese, ham/egg/cheese. All were good, with the veggie and egg sandwiches being standouts. Get there early for the cinnamon buns. Unfortunately by the time we arrived at lunchtime they were sold out.

    Coastal veggie sandwich
    Sheila K.

    Picked up sandwiches to take to one of the local cideries for a picnic lunch. I had the Coastal Veggie, with aged white cheddar, hummus, avocado, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, Dijon and mayo on multigrain bread. I think that with a veggie sandwich, you really notice the quality of the ingredients, and this one was excellent! Little bag of chips on the side was a nice finishing touch. Delicious!

    Good coffee .. very friendly service. I had the blueberry muffin. Big in size and good.

    This place has really good coffee. Its has a really nice taste to it. I am not a coffee drinker but I personally liked it. I was told the owner roast their coffee at the back. The decor is quite interesting. As well, when you are there, you have to try their muffins. I loved their muffins the most. Yummy. Very friendly service.

    TRY the carrot cake

    Mmm home made flavours with fresh roasted coffee. Count me in!! Great Coast vibes are unique to the sunshine coast but reminds me of California 25 years ago. The service is friendly and prompt, clean facilities and fresh made to order. We will be back again!!

    I have Bean-dar! I homed in on this corner cafe as we were driving in for lunch. I was impressed that this is not just a great spot to grab a java, but it's also a local Roastery! -With a porch none-the-less and I think you know what kind of view a cafe in this location would have to offer. New this year, The Black Bean cafe also offers light lunch. Cute spot, and yet undiscovered ! -well, except by me, expert cafe spotter ;-)

    Lovely cafe on the quieter side of Gibsons

We got the Key Lime Tart which was too heavy on the cream cheese with not enough citrus flavour making it taste more like a cheesecake than a tart. The almond apple tart had a lot of frangipane and a good tart crust but the apple part was missing. The carrot cake slice didnt have enough tang in the cream cheese frosting and the flavours of the cake fell flat. Their other baked goods were a bit better with the berry muffin being not too oily or sweet but a bit dry, the texture of the jalapeño and cheddar scone was fluffy and light but I could hardly taste any cheese. The veggie puff was the favourite being flavourful and light. We also grabbed a bag of their white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies (gf) and molasses cookies because they were day olds and half off and these were some of the better treats we tried from here. Overall, we had high expectations and were unfortunately let down by the treats at Sandy's.

    The first time my hubs and I visited Squamish a few years ago we discovered the cute, little Xoco…read moreChocolate shop! Love how pretty the truffles and chocolate bars are. The bars come as milk or dark chocolate with dried fruits and nuts pressed into them or just nuts or biscuit pearls or are sprinkled with sea salt. As someone who cannot digest dairy, it was wonderful to see that the dark chocolate bars are vegan and contain no dairy. We also had a chance to chat with the friendly owner and it was a great experience. A few weeks ago we visited Squamish again and were happy to see that the chocolate bars still look amazing. We bought a bunch of bars and now have a decent stash to last for a while and to give as gifts. Though it's hard to moderate when the bars taste so good. Thank you, Xoco Chocolate!

The dark chocolate bars with roasted nuts and dried fruits is one of favorites. The quality of the dark chocolate is very good and the bars taste as good as they look. The dark chocolate is vegan. It's a cute shop and the owner and staff are great. They also have milk chocolate bars and beautiful chocolate confections. We're dark chocolate fans so we haven't tried them. We stop every time we're up that way.
