    Snug wich
    Emily C.

    I ordered the Snug wich and my partner ordered the Chorizo wrap. We came on a Friday morning and it was very quiet. There was a good selection of breakfast food and drinks. We just ordered a quick breakfast before heading on our day around Bowen Island. I LOVED my Snug wich, particularly the croissant as opposed to the traditional English muffin. It was crunchy and warm and the eggs were soft. I would 100% visit again on my next trip and would try their drinks next time too! It's a nice quaint coffee shop for a quick bite.

    A very cute cafe close to the ferry terminal! I love the cosiness of the interior. I came on a rainy day but I can imagine it would be nice to sit outside when it's dry out. The food and drinks were served very quickly. Prices of the drinks compared to Vancouver are better. My girlfriend got the iced dirty chai latte and I got a hot chai latte. She really enjoyed her drink and I enjoyed mine too. She wasn't terribly fond of the scone because she thought it was dry but I liked it. It had a crunchy outside and was moist on the inside thanks to the mango chunks.

    The BEST cafe on Bowen Island! Hands down. Service is amazingly good. Very friendly, very knowledgeable staff go out of their way to make your experience the best. Food is outstanding. Great taste, good prices. Great value for money.

    Great little place with tasty drinks and snacks. This is as Bowen as Bowen gets and the young staff that served us on (both) of our visits here were hard working, casual, and attentive. This business is doing many things right but it is a little tight in winter when the customers cannot expand to the outdoor seating (which looks super inviting)

    Gonna be honest, in terms of food quality for Bowen Island, this place is a 5/5. However, me bring the spoiled Vancouverite I am, I wasn't blown away. Everything was pretty good, but extremely overpriced (what a surprise). A small breakfast for two will set you back $50, but with the lineups this place gets, I doubt they'll be changing their business model anytime soon. I'd give this place a 3/5 overall, but because they are possibly the only place on Bowen with vegan options that *don't* taste like toilet water, I will boost them to 4/5 for that alone. The lattes were pretty decent as well!

    We went to Bowen Island last weekend for a little getaway, and found this cute little cafe. Both mornings on the island we went to the Snug Cafe for coffee and breakfast. It's a very cozy little coffee shop, with great outdoor seating! The food selection is big, and everything looks delicious. Over the weekend I tried the cinnamon bun (awesome!), breakfast cookie (ok, but not enough for me for breakfast), a scone (yummy) and a yogurt and granola parfait (very satisfying). I wish I could have tried more because all of their baked goods looked amazing, and they had a big selection of breakfast sandwiches, other sandwiches, and hot meals. The service was friendly and efficient. The only minus according to my friend was the coffee - she didn't think it was that good (we had americanos both days). I didn't mind it, but I'm not picky about my coffee. Overall I would definitely recommend this spot, and will be back next time I'm on Bowen.

    Spent the day on Bowen Island and started the day off at The Snug Cafe. This spot is a bright blue building located a short 3 minute walk from the ferry terminal. When we arrived around 8:30am, it wasn't too busy, however as we were leaving more and more people started coming in. So we were happy that we beat the rush of people. You order at the counter and then they call your name once your food is ready. Their menu consists of a variety of breakfast items, sandwiches, benedicts, pastries, smoothies, and juices. I ordered the veggie breakfast burrito and the Dr. Immunity juice. I loved both items. The veggie breakfast burrito was jam packed with spinach, mushroom, red pepper, potatoes, cheddar, and salsa. It was both delicious and filling and the perfect fuel right before a hike. The Dr. Immunity juice had a blend of spinach, ginger, turmeric, apple, and oranges. It was refreshing and tasted like health in a cup. There are plenty of tables outside, so my friend and I posted up at one of the larger picnic tables. Sunshine, breakfast burritos, and good company? I couldn't have started my day any better. The staff was super friendly, the food came out quickly and tasted yummy, and the ambiance was cozy and relaxing. If you're on Bowen Island looking for a great breakfast spot, Snug Cafe is your spot.

    Cozy vibe, friendly staff, and wholesome food - it's no wonder The Snug is an island favorite! Both my visits were phenomenal and the quality is consistent, regardless of how busy they get. I highly recommend any of their egg breakfast items and the sour cherry Danish. Absolutely scrumptious! They use JJ bean for coffee and have a nice patio for the summer time as well. This rustic cafe is a solid breakfast/lunch/brunch spot!

    This the place to go for breakfast munchies on Bowen . Wonderful kind staff . Food is very good and prices reasonable for island food fare . I had the classic breakfast . It cost $11 and had all the basics : toast , well made hasbrowns , choice of Bacon, sausage or dried tomato . Due to covid19 . Only patio seating for the summer . Usually one can find free street parking nearby

    A cozy cafe with a fitting name. If you're making a trip to Bowen island, I recommend checking this place out. They had plenty of options for drinks, snacks, or meals. We tried their raspberry coconut tart, which was 50% off because it was a day old. However, it still tasted good and wasn't too sweet. We also tried their vegan breakfast sandwich. It had a homemade sausage, which was pretty tasty. The potatoes were seasoned well and were delicious.

I ordered the Peri Peri Chicken Bowl and it was loaded: seasoned chicken with a great sauce, spicy yellow rice, crunchy chips, greens, avocado, pico, and those bright pickled radish slices. Everything balanced really well (heat + acid + crunch), and the portions were filling without feeling heavy. We also had a bowl that felt like their Buddha Bowl vibe--chickpeas, rice, greens, cucumber, red onion, pepitas, and a bright green dressing on the side. Super clean and satisfying. Menu is easy to read, lots of options (all-day breakfast + solid lunch choices), and the overall vibe is casual and cozy. I'd come back anytime for a healthy-ish brunch that still feels indulgent.

    We went to Bowen Island for a day trip as to explore the town. Stopped at Tippys after getting off…read morethe ferry to get a brunch. Service and ambiance was very cozy and casual. We ordered a build-your-own breakfast and an spinach mushroom goat cheese omelette. Both were very good. I loves the omelette and the filling of spinach and goat cheese were very generous! We got tater tots as a side and the quantity as a side was large! the side of fruit was also impressive as well. they actually cut fresh melons instead of canned fruit! Would definitely visit again if visiting bowen island

For me, this is a good place to shop for indulgent chocolate gifts to show your thoughtfulness and care for someone special. I am on the fence about recommending this place to chocolate lovers because chocolate preferences are highly individualistic. You need to sample and try to see if their chocolate is to your liking. I have tried their various truffle flavors and they are very good quality chocolate yet I haven't come across a favorite flavor that I would crave for. So I mostly shop for their chocolates as gifts because I do appreciate their commitment to quality organic ingredients. Their chocolates are priced higher than most and present as nice thoughtful gifts that show extra appreciation. This shop also serves gelato, which is especially popular in the summer times. Also, some may not come to shop for chocolates and actually visit for their hot chocolate drinks which is quite rich and delish.

    What can I say except WOW! A big fan of their hot chocolates and it is always a go to place for us…read morewhenever we are on Bowen Island. I loved the creaminess of their hot chocolate without it being too sweet. We also bought a small box of chocolates to share and we loved the variety of chocolates that they had. Highly recommend to check this place out when you are on Bowen Island!
