I would take a ferry just to eat the focaccia & cashew cream cheese again. It’s something truly special. I dream about it. The Lovely owners are the cherry on top. The kids play area was an absolute treat too.

Love this place and so happy there is some vegan items on the island. The ice cream is some of the best I have ever eaten. Would highly recommend the chocolate ice cream and an iced matcha!

Even on a day they used the backup espresso machine (appreciate so much that they have a plan in place!) cappuccino and latte were artfully prepared, delicious, and served in handmade pottery mugs. Their in-house non dairy beverage is out of this world. We had two different focaccia sandwiches and both were *chefs kiss* especially the ones with beets.

Absolutely incredible. Meat eaters, don't let the fact that this is a vegan restaurant scare you away. I promise you won't miss the meat. Everything I've had is superb. The sandwiches are made on homemade focaccia bread and wonderfully flavorful. The cookies are perfect. And the cinnamon rolls are out of this world. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. My favorite place on Galiano Island.

Stopped in before catching the ferry and we were super impressed - we ordered the cinnamon brioche which was still warm out of the oven and an oat latte. The brioche was hands down one of the best baked treats we have ever had, period. Fluffy and moist and full of flavour. The latte was smooth and perfect. Before coming we didn’t realize it was a plant-based cafe but we enjoy oat milk in our coffee so it was fine with us. Absolutely will be our new go-to spot for Galiano summer weekends.
