The 19 best coffee shops and best cafes in Campbell River

Stopped for a coffee and snack at this place on the way to Quadra Island Ferry. 10/10! The coffee was great and the home baking was delicious. The service was friendly and the woman serving us was personable and funny. And the views! The views to sip your coffee to in the nice seating area are amazing.

Omg, if I lived in Campbell River, I would be a regular here. Fresh, quality espresso coffee, but the bagles are amazing, they are light and fluffy, like a Montreal bagel. Was one of the best salmon lox bagel sandwiches I have had, complete with capers. You definitely need to try the cheesecake too, it's the lightest, fluffiest one I have ever tasted, Basque style. A whole cheesecake is $50, but a slice is under $10 I think, worth trying for sure.

Another Wow 🤩 what a hot Quadra island is! From the moment we stepped in the door of this lovely cafe we were welcomed as old friends. The service was so good, had great coffee too, but the star was most definitely the pancakes. Great sized portion really light and fluffy. Delicious. We also were discussing buying the bags of cookies when another customer overheard us and asked if we would like to try one of hers that she had just bought. How lovely. Well they were delicious and as you can see from the photo we bought them. A brilliant experience and highly recommended.

Came for lunch after several recommendations. I had the roast beef sandwich which for me was perfection. SL had a burger and said it was one of the best she has had. Lovely crispy bits! We will be back for sure!

Visiting the island and popped in here for a bite to eat.. highly recommend if you’re in the area to check it out. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, you can taste the love in the food. I don’t know what they do with their pancakes but I’d eat them every day if I could. Portions are very generous and pricing is more than reasonable. You can tell they have a large group of regulars as it seems the staff know everyone by name.

We placed a large family order, and MASON assisted us with it. He was excellent—attentive, patient, and understood everything we requested. Our order, totaling around $50–$60, was taken with great care, and he noted all the details accurately. His team also did a fantastic job preparing everything. Overall, MASON provided outstanding service and truly stood out.

Stopped here from Nanaimo on the way to our daughter’s hockey game. We just wanted a snack and this was an excellent choice. The muffins were excellent and the cinnamon bun was delicious. The coffees we ordered were very good. We bought veggie sandwich to eat later because it looked so good. The place was packed. Quick service and a great atmosphere. The food was all homemade and looked very good. Glad we stoped here instead of the regular chain coffee place. Will definitely stop here anytime we are in the area. The prices are a tad high, but I understand with the price of groceries lately, and it was worth every penny. Lots of vegetarian options. Thank you.

Nice spot to sit and get some work done while enjoying a cuppa. Microfoam was lovely. Artwork was great and I was excited to buy a piece for my son- who has moved out for the year to attend Carihi.

While I grew up in Campbell River and visited Stonehouse Teas frequently, I now live in Ontario and miss their bubble tea. Every time I visit home, Stonehouse is on the list of to-dos and today, on day two of being here, we went and checked out all the new upgrades to the store. Previously, they did not have as many bakery items as they do now and everything looking so good. The scent walking in is nostalgic and I was so excited to try a treat alongside my bubble tea. Ya’ll- I am not exaggerating when I say their carrot cake is phenomenal. It is moist and full of flavour and the icing is incredible. It’s not so terribly sweet that you can’t enjoy it and it is also the perfect texture. I took a bite and immediately knew I needed to write a review. I ate some more and got a couple other shots because it’s just that good I had to share! I also enjoyed a vanilla chai bubble tea with tapioca and it was as good as I remember! But man- this cake though? An absolute must-try. I’m also going to try the pumpkin loaf next visit and I just know it’s going to be delicious as I was considering getting that today but I decided to go for the carrot cake and wow. Just overall a 10/10 and a must try overall when visiting Campbell River!

The girl supervisor who was working on August 3rd around noon should be talked to. It's not very good customer service to tell a customer they need to go across the parking lot to another store in order to get change to come back and pay. Being a supervisor and a manager of a business means you are there to ensure your employees are fully prepped and have all the tools in hand to be successful. As a supervisor/manager it should be their responsibility to ensure their employees have the proper cash in their registers and that your change in your safe is efficient to help in certain situations. Sending a customer out of the store themselves and making them go and do it does not make a great name for that supervisor nor will it attract the right kind of attention. I'm disappointed in the way this situation was handled by this supervisor.

Visited Campbell River and this restaurant caught my eye when we drove by it. We stopped in for lunch and so happy we did. The place was really original and well decorated, the service was fun and friendly, and the food was excellent! Will be back for sure.

This is one of the cutest places we've ever seen. The coffee shop makes you feel that you're going to have a wonderful culinary experience, and it does not disappoint! They have so many items on the menu to satisfy almost every taste. Their pastries are DELICIOUS! And their service is AMAZING! Their breakfast selection of just the Croissants is enough to have you come here every morning. A definite must if you're looking for a change from the ol' Tim Horton, and believe me, it's worth it.

Awesome spot on the water in Campbell River. Free 2 hour parking across the street. Easy to eat vegetarian here! I had the vege sandwich and it was massive and very fresh bread. Also had an almond milk latte which was lovely. For sure eat here for any meal and coffee over any of the chains!!

A surprise find. I has an amazing mango smoothy. They also have pizza. I look forward to go back We went back today for a pizza. We had the nacho pizza. So creative and very good. The single slice ones looked amazing. I have to say the young staff there were amazing! It was very busy and they were polite, attentive, and just plain awesome!!

This is a diamond in the rough. Just passing through town and so glad we found this little gem for all-day breakfast. The food was amazing (my son says the best eggs benny ever) and the most delicious pancakes! The staff were very nice and friendly, and the restaurant was impeccably clean. We would definitely come back if we're in the area and highly recommend it for a great meal!

This was the best Tim Hortons experience I’ve ever had. We had the new supreme steak sandwich, farmers wraps, bagel belts, timbits and donuts and everything was fresh, tasty and delicious. The service was welcoming and Asia was just so friendly and hospitable. To top it off, it has an incredible view of the ocean.

Freyja is one of my favourite places in town to stop for coffee— I probably end up here at least once a week! The lattes are delicious, and the staff members are always kind and friendly. The croissants are, of course, amazing as well. I really like the pain au chocolate. The raspberry is my favourite, when they have it. Their hot chocolate is also excellent. I’ve tried all three flavours, and you can’t go wrong! There’s also a great little play area for kids at the back, and a nice outdoor seating area out front for when the weather cooperates.

Food is always delicious and my favorite place for french fries. Menu has so many options and you won't leave hungry. The staff is absolutely wonderful and welcoming. Definitely a returning customer!
