Lovely café and staff!

Great place with delicious food. The last time we were there, we each (4 of us) had a different bowl and they were all beautifully presented and very tasty. We’re always there with our bikes so the outdoor patio is very handy as well as lovely.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice outdoor patio, Right downtown

Whole Glow Cafe

Always delicious. Personally I routinely get the daily panini and I’m always happy with it’s gourmet flavours. Lovely infused pitcher of water available. The carrot cake is to die for. Carly the owner is lovely. In the funky town of Cumberland. Check this gem of a restaurant out!

Pros: All vegan, Has a patio, Delicious

Fabulous food

Currently offering takeaway only (Dec. 2020). I took away 2 meals + 4 treats. This was my first visit, and I wanted to try as much as possible. Service was quick and pleasant. The special bowl of the day contained quinoa, green peas, cherry tomatoes, tofu, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, red onion, parsley and pea sprouts (I’m not a fan of pea sprouts). The panini included smoked provolone (vegan, of course) - it was delicious! Treats included a wholesome breakfast cookie, pear-pumpkin slice, raspberry crumble and scrumptious muffin. I’m looking forward to my next visit. Certainly worth a side-trip from Courtenay or Comox!

Pros: all vegan, quick and pleasant service

Cons: location (not in central Courtenay)

Beautiful food and decor

Recently opened (July 2017) and seems like a real gem for the village. Most of the menu is vegan (one smoothie, one salad and one of the baked goods are not). The service is warm and accommodating . The menu is not huge but the options seem carefully chosen and are imaginative and everything that I have tried so far has been really good. This will definitely be a regular and much-loved haunt.

Pros: High quality and imaginative food, Comfortable decor and beautiful presentation, Friendly service

Cons: Not open for dinner

Three years on just to update that this place transitioned to being 100% vegan some months back. It's fantastic. 6 stars ;-)
