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!

If you want to go to a Tim Hortons I would strongly recommend not going to this one, unless you are willing to get something completely different than you originally had in mind. Even the one in the MALL is better.

I ordered the pepperoni flatbread, donut and peach quencher. I got home and realized I didn't get my drink and when I opened the pizza box and see the worst looking flatbread ever. It was a dried out piece of cardboard with a very small amount of cheese and a few pepperoni in the middle. There was approximately 50% area of topping, the rest dried out nothing. I will post a picture of what they ADVERTISE and what I got. I know...the same with every company nowadays and this is why I have turned to higher end restaurants or pubs as they actually try to keep customers with good food and service. Tim Horton's everywhere is going downhill and fast.

I've heard their Joe is top notch. They have some pretty good donuts too. This location is small-ish. There was a group of older gents ogling my bride when she walked in but we're used to that. A friendly clerk helped us out. The donuts are good. Very sweet so have your insulin ready. The crullers are good. As an aside I visited Nanaimo while I was in the Navy eons ago. Seemed a little different then. More to come.

We also tried the BBQ chicken fajitas, four-cheese spinach dip, and the Austin cheesesteak sandwich--so good! Plus, they've got daily deals and a happy hour that makes it even better. Perfect for catching the game and unwinding with friends. It's easily a top 3 spot for me!

A very nice combination for the palette and price. All fresh ingredients and unique presentation. A BBQ Brisket Burger with a salad side. The sandwich was overbearing with meat. A fresh burger topped with BBQ beef brisket, cheese and crispy onions with a nice chipotle sauce. Was looking forward to a BBQ 1/2 chicken but appears beef is the headliner. The restaurant decor nicely in touch with the western flair, and washrooms were for messy face eaters. Great service by the staff.

The sweet and sour pork and the beef were very tough. The siu mai and chicken balls with sauce were very bland. Overall they call themselves an "authentic" restaurant but they aren't. Not even Shanghainese (the only dish being hot and sour soup). Just a typical Chinese Canadian restaurant but nostalgic for a Vancourite like me who hasn't had this in over 20 years because they don't exist here anymore. I was suprised they didn't have ginger beef, the Canadian-invented Chinese dish.
