It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon, but we were able to snag a table right away. Most of the donuts were sold out by that time, so options were pretty limited. I ordered a Matcha and Boston Cream Donut, and my boyfriend got a coffee and Maple Bacon Donut. Service was quick, and the interior had a cozy ambiance. My Matcha was very good, and tasted almost identical to a Starbucks Matcha Latte. The Boston Cream Donut was tasty, but the dough was very thick. It comes down to preference, but I love a lighter/fluffier donut. My boyfriend loved the Maple Bacon Donut though! Overall, a nice place to visit while exploring Tofino.

Cute coffee shop on the main strip of tofino. Really enjoyed my matcha latte. Also had a few of…read moretheir donuts which were not too good just because the dough was really tight/dense. Tried the cookies and cream, maple bacon, cinnamon sugar, and cinnamon roll. Of them all, cinnamon sugar was the best. But overall would rate the donuts a 2/5. My matcha was a 5, ambiance also 5. Service was pretty quick but not necessarily the friendliest.

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!

They offered our dog a cute spoonful of ice cream, which she loved. Staff were really friendly and willing to answer any of our questions. Their hot chocolate was rich and really sweet. I think the flavor is so concentrated that you could dilute it with more milk, but otherwise it was quite good. Their gelatos were all so good. I got the mango, strawberry, and honey lavender. The flavors were nicely concentrated and I really enjoyed it.

You're allowed to taste test so we ended up getting the salted caramel on the bottom. They also have a big gift shop and sandwiches in the place. The soft serve balances the flavour well.

I tried a sugar-free raspberry peach muffin and a chai latte. I really liked the muffin - it was dense but soft and very moist. Lots of juicy fruit. I will say that if "sugar-free muffin" is something that sounds appealing to you, you will probably like this, but if not, it's probably not for you because the texture was quite different from a regular muffin. But I liked the wholesome flavour. The chai latte was just the standard, but made well, with a very generous dusting of cinnamon. I got there shortly after they opened and just had to wait in a short line with my drink ready fairly quickly, but they were much busier by the time I was leaving. I think they take card payments now. I paid with cash, but I didn't see any cash only signs and I saw what I think was a card machine at the register.

We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (around 1:15pm) and were greeted to a line out the door. Be prepared to wait; service is incredibly slow and inefficient. We were in line for half an hour and waited another 10 minutes for them to make our order. The menu is split into breakfast (only available to 1:00pm), grilled sandwiches (only available to 3:00pm) and hot drinks. They also have a small selection of pastries (bread, muffins, baklava (randomly) and tarts/cakes/bars). - Ham sandwich ($7.95) - at least the bread was toasted and the cheese melted. Other than that, decent but you could easily make something similar at home. I was still hungry afterwards. - Vegan hummus sandwich ($8.25) - the hummus was light and caramelized onions subtle. Same bread used in all their sandwiches. Not sure why the vegetarian option is pricier than the meat one. Cash only. Don't bother with CL.
