Salad was great and Pizzas were both delicious- we had the Margherita and Pepperoni. Dough was light and fluffy and wonderfully crispy with a little char from the wood fired oven. Loved them both. Local white wines were both really nice on a warm day, as was the Cider. Chocolate Cake and Berry pie with homemade crust were both as if grandma had made them. If we're ever on Vancouver Island again we'd come back no question.

We stopped by Leeward Coastal Cafe in October 2024. This is a bakery cafe which is what we were…read morelooking for. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my partner ordered the quiche. My sandwich was delicious and just right. It was served panini style. My coffee was also very good. Service was very pleasant and helpful. You order at the counter and the server brings your order out. This is the off season so it wasn't very busy although more people were coming in as we were finishing up. We had a nice view of the boats at the dock and the mountains (there were lots of Sea Lions on the government dock which is just a couple of minutes away). I would definitely return and can certainly recommend this cafe for coffee or breakfast. It looks like they've got some good selections for lunch but that will have to wait until we can return to Cowichan Bay.

You order inside and pick up at the window outside; dining in is not yet an option. We were asked…read morethree different times if our order was to stay or go. I specified to stay - on the patio. The unappetizing slice of grey mushy mushroom quiche arrived with white melted oily cheddar on top. The crust was as oily. Unlike any quiche I have ever had before. The Chicken and chick pea , savoy cabbage soup was served in a to go coffee cup despite our request for the on patio meal. It was watery and bland. The Campesino sandwich arrived toasted as requesting but a mess to eat, oozing out the sides. Plated food could be made more appealing and so could the service. We had to request for napkins. If you eat here wait to tip until after you eat. This seems to be a new Café and there is definite room for improvement.

There is a QR code if you want to peruse the menu while waiting. We ordered two sandwiches and two soup & sandwiches. Unfortunately, one of the orders was incorrect but they were quick to remake the sandwich. All the food was great. We also grabbed. GF chocolate mint matcha treat that was awesome. This is a great place to stop when on Vancouver Island.

I had the corn kernel pancakes on my recent visit and they were perfection. Everyone in our group loved their soups and sandwiches. Outdoor seating is dog friendly so we could bring our bb. Nice assortment of pastries inside, and the soft serve ice cream truck in the parking lot is a welcome bonus treat. My only real complaint is about other patrons -- please bus your table when you're done your meal! A large group left a big mess that took up valuable real estate that others could have utilized. We ended up cleaning it along with ours when we were leaving to make room for the next guests.

Amazing scone, got us thinking we gotta try baking some ourselves, and the curry meat pie was very flavorful. We are also taking leftover mango chutney home it's that good.

The tostado was supposed to come with prawns, but I only got six in total and they were very hard and overcooked. There was also a very small amount of avocado on the crispy tortilla. I asked if the dish could be prepared again but was told that is how they serve it. Definitely wouldn't order that again, but will try a few other things as the experience of sitting on the deck with such a great view is very special! The server was very professional and nice.

And they have two clean bathrooms -- always a plus especially with young kids!

I had the chicken sandwich (with homemade blackberry BBQ sauce) and Parmesan fries (with real Parmesan and lots of real minced sautéed garlic) and the chocolate chip cookie dough malted milkshake. All were excellent! And I hear their soft-serve ice cream is also amazing! It gets very busy, especially during the summer tourist season. No air conditioning. If you go on a hot day (over 70 degrees F) try to eat outside in the shade. Indoors has great ambiance but crowded with all those hot bodies, it gets really stifling.
