6 Best Cafes near Salt Spring Island

“Under new ownership. Place looks great and welcoming as always, but with a great new food menu!We had a chai latte (it has always been our favourite go-to for the BEST chai lattes anywhere) and it tasted different. The new owners were super responsive to our feedback which is impressive. Looking forward to going back to try again.“

“Stopped by here the other day and got the mac and cheese, ceaser salad, and the hummus & pita for my two young boys to split, excellent service! Food was served up fast, the prices were very affordable, and generous, tasty portions! I will definitely be back soon!“

“We had a delicious meal at the cafe this morning! The food was sooo tasty and made with fresh ingredients. The prices were very reasonable. Service was great and the atmosphere is funky! Love visiting this restaurant whenever we get over to the island for a visit?“

“I love Salt spring Coffee, I drink it everyday at home. Stopped in to the cafe on my way to the ferry and I told the cashier that I wanted a coffee, muffin and a roasted veg egg white bite as I pointed to it in the display case. Somehow I didn’t realize how much my bill was when I tapped my card - and ended up waiting over 10 minutes for the girl to hand me a to-go container that had a full eggs Benedict meal with hash browns. I didn’t have time to return it as I was almost late for the ferry and checked my card later that was charged $34 for a meal that I didn’t order or eat. Im confused how the cashier misunderstood my order as I pointed to it in the display case and the full dine-in breakfast menu is in a completely different spot. I know it’s difficult with masks to understand people right now, so maybe training your staff to repeat the order if they are unsure because people have allergies and it’s so disappointing when you are commuting to work and don’t get to eat breakfast!! :(“

“Hands down the best coffee I've ever had! You instantly feel welcomed, and have your order in your hands within minutes.It's run by an awesome family that always takes good care of their staff and customers - They also serve a mean pastry!“

“Because we are lucky enough to live in the beautiful Cowichan Valley we are at the Leeward Cafe on an almost weekly basis. The food is always scrumptious and the staff welcoming, friendly and courteous. We love the ambience of dining in the clean and cozy cafe but in fair weather we bring our own mugs, which the staff happily fill, and we sit on the quaint benches out back and enjoy the boats and birds. The Leeward Cafe and its sister business True Grain Bakery are delightful!“
