This place is amazing! From the food, to the staff and the service!!

Andrew Morrison

Great breakfast, great coffee, reasonable prices.

Erin Anderson

We are never disappointed with this lively cafe! Not only is the COCO Cafe an inclusive community building business, but the cappuccinos are also great and the food is excellent!

Came for a couple sandwiches for me and my kids and stood in a line up of 5 people ahead of me (approx 15 min). It was close to closing but i assumed they would at least finish serving the people that have waited in line so patiently I got to the window at 2:02 (they close at 2) and was told that they would no longer serve sandwiches only pastries. Not a pleasant experience at all.

Great cafe located in Cedar. I love their sausage breakfast bagels and it's a nice place to get a proper hot beverage. You really do get what you pay for, the food is always high quality.

Had an exceptional dried fig and blue cheese salad. Special was $10. Kids loved the pot pies and grilled cheese. Bread was fresh and moist. Will definitely come back with the kids again.

Fantastic food and they are a great community supporter.

Everlasting Coatings

Delicious and very reasonable prices, vegan options, 10 dollars for a sand which and some amazing coconut curry

Darryl Grossauer

I've stopped in here for lunch a few times now and it's always the same: friendly staff, great food, and a good vibe. It's also geared towards a great cause. I highly recommend trying their chicken club and wonton soup.

Debby Baker

Great breakfast and great coffee ! Appears they have a training program for some folks who might otherwise not have the opportunity, that speaks a lot about who they are in the community ! Great work COCO !

Devon Wyatt

Barry Hornby

Amazing food and staff! Friendly and helpful. Great Gluten free options

Brenda Ackerson

We were thankful to find this great Cafe since downtown Nanaimo was dead at 8am on a Sunday morning and we wanted breakfast. We loved the West Coast Benny and coffee was very good for us coffee snobs. - Jeff & Brenda Ackerson, Bend, Oregon USA.

Doug Adair

Great pot pies and breakfast menu. They also have a great assortment of frozen meals to take home.

Shirley Perry

A very quaint little place will very tasty food

Nadine Shemilt

Best breakfast place to visit. We always visit before heading out to the Sunday Farmer's Market, it's in Cedar but completely worth the drive. All the food is made with healthy ingredients and homemade. They also have frozen soups and meals which I definitely recommend taking some home. Vegetarian fare is delicious too with the garden bowl and hollandaise sauce. Yummy!

Mark Rocchio

Great eggs benny

Jansait Qughondouqa

Edit: The issue has been discussed and fixed. I went today at 8 am too. Orders were all perfect, customer service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Definitely going back. ——————- Very disappointed this morning. I ordered garden bowl with poached egg and it was noted on my receipt and I also gave 20% tip because that’s the minimum we can do to support our local restaurants and cafes. However, when I got my order it was missing the egg. When I asked, the person who took my order talked to the chef and came back to say that I need to go back to the front door to order again or for them to put it again (wasn’t clear why) and when I said I already ordered that and she went to check the receipt and found out that yes it mentioned poached egg, she said it wasn’t paid for. Not sure how this can happen but anyway, i don’t think the incident was handled well.

Peter R

The cinnamon buns you bake at home at Christmas were fabulous!!

Mani Amar

We were passing through Nanaimo and it had been already a long day waking up so early. Decided to stop by COCO Cafe for some breakfast. Found this place via TripAdvisor reviews, and all I can say is wow. The staff was friendly, fast, and took pride in everything they did. The breakfast bagel sandwich I got and the breakfast wrap my girlfriend got looked like they were made to be photographed. Perfectly cooked, perfectly assembled, and amazingly yummy. Thank you for a great first experience COCO Cafe! We can't wait to visit you again!

Alicia Mogg

Coco Cafe in Cedar is an adorable little place to get breakfast. I took my sons for Sunday brunch. You get in line at the cash, place your order, pay for it and take your numbered sign to your table of choice. My youngest and I tried the Sunday only West Coast smoked salmon eggs benedict and my other son tried the pulled pork eggs benedict. Both were pretty awesome and I must say that their plating and presentation was spot on. That may have been the most impressive eggs benedict dishes I've ever seen. The eggs themselves were a study in perfection. I would also like to try their own warm granola cereal. The service was warm, friendly and efficient.

Travis Cadden

Great food and drink, friendly staff and a cool community mission? Pretty hard to beat!

randy hall

Amazing food. Reasonably priced. Great staff and a very comfy environment. First time there and will definitely be going back. ????

Christine Robertson

The food was excellent. They have been innovative with how they have adapted to the pandemic requirements. You order your food at the desk at the front door and pick it up at the back door. Tables are available outside to eat your meal at.

Bryce Lether

Oh man.....this place along with the staff was amazing. We got in early and couldn't check into our hotel yet and we were hungry so we took a drive to find some food. Came across CoCo Cafe. Amazing food and prices right!! The staff was very friendly! I'd definitely recommend to stop here if you are ever in Cedar!

Melissa Vasey

Amazing social initiative and outstanding food. We are having Coco cater our wedding and it has been a fully delightful experience throughout.

Ross Greenwood

Read some good reviews and came to check it out for myself. They’ve set up and excellent order-in-front, pickup-out-back system, and the food came out quick given how busy it was. The food was all very fresh and tasted great, the soup was amazing!

Trevor Smith

Best sandwiches in the naniamo area

Jackie Pallard

Great coffee and service.

Michael Chapman

Great food, although the service was quite slow when we went. I love and support the concept of this restaurant.

Laura Simms

Stopped in for a quick snack and a warm beverage. Great service and yummy treats!

Lonna Ballentyne

I've been at the coco cafe many times, we usually order medium London fogs and the savory scones. The past 3 times we have been the scones are under cooked and the drinks well are NOT London fog's. Todays scones were doughy in the middle and when I took the lid off of our drinks there was loose tea in hot water and no steamed milk. I even tip well. I know what a London fog is I used to be a barista. We will not be back. To bad it seamed like a nice place.

Danielle Olson

Beautiful bright and vibrant cafe! The music and the small touches are perfect. Plus, the soup was great!

Brianne Carson

Such a wonderful experience! Had a delicious breakfast and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant!

marin paul

Great food great art and great service

Lisa Stackwood

Amazing staff, even better food!!

Krista Fetchko

Love going to Coco's for breakfast! I got the BLT benny this time but I am also addicted to their bruschetta breakfast. Its a kid friendly place with a highchair and a little corner with some coloring stuff and a couple toys. The staff are very friendly and the beverages are good also. It's become our go to place even though it's 20 minutes away.

Rob Shearer

Cafe with a warm atmosphere and plenty of drink options. Appreciate that a vegan option is available. Hopefully more will come.

Sammy Brandt

Lovely art on the walls, very friendly staff, lots of parking, food and drinks are delicious, seating is tight so might be difficult for people in wheelchairs but that is my only concern (and I'm sure the staff would be willing to help if someone had a wheelchair).

Mariah Morgan

The food I've tried is delicious, great coffee & amazing staff!!

Miroslav Vaclavik

Best mocha I've had in my life. Really cozy cafe, just wonderful!

Everything is wonderful about COCO Café but Thursday's are my favourite.The Roast Beef Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding with a side salad (I love the green salad with the house vinaigrette) are an every Thursday occurrence for my coworkers and myself. Yes, they are that good.

Richard Jamieson

Awesome

Rosanna Duffy

COCO Cafe is an amazing establishment!! The food is incredible and their contribution to the community is amazing. We purchase their family meals that are freshly frozen and they have been a god send during COVID. Highly recommend them!

Great little cafe that we tend to visit often. Service and food both great. Try the cinnamon buns and the wraps!

Darryl Downey

Great food, EVERY time.

Danielle Zwiers

This place is amazing! The food is so good, good portion sizes, ingredients are fresh, and staff is extremely friendly. My 1.5 year old daughter and I are vegan and gluten free and there was some really great options for us and they were knowledgeable enough to answer my list of allergy questions. My husband is not vegan and loves the food there too. We also bought their frozen pot pies and enchiladas and they were to die for! This is a new family favorite place that we will be frequenting a lot :)

Jason Stephens

The staff here are so friendly and they have a good system for practicing safe distancing and cleaning. The food smells delicious, so I can't wait to try it!

Barry Ensign

Great place to meet and chat

Delicious food, friendly folks. Lots of gluten free options. And a social enterprise.

Mark Gates

Very good service and very nice place to visit. Would go there again when I'm in town.

Rachel Beaton

Love love love. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had at an extremely reasonable price!! I really struggle finding vegetarian dishes that are flavorful without being spicy (I really am a huge baby about spice!) but the breakfast bruschetta here was incredible. Sundries tomatoes with poached eggs and feta on focaccia bread with potatoes, I'm drooling just thinking about it and it was 12$...are you kidding?? I am so sad that it's an hour drive for me or I would be there every weekend. The staff were also super super nice and I just love the concept and message. Eat here!!!!

phil livingston

Nice small town feeling

Grant Christensen

Nice ambiance, good food, coffee.

Sarah Hadfield

A fantastic cafe with great tasting homemade food and a wonderful atmosphere. The soup is wonderful and highly recommended. My husband loves the cornbread from their market stall. The cafe is clean, bright and great value. The staff are friendly and deliver great customer service. A visit is a must!

Jon Gabriel

Superb food at reasonable prices.

TN

First, the food here is awesome, and I would normally give more stars however, there is a bit of room for improvement. Like, when you open at 6:30, however you can’t order food until 7, that to me is a bit of an issue....especially when you have a customer driving from North Nanaimo just to enjoy breakfast. Especially on a Saturday morning.

Michelle Stilwell

Always receive delicious meals! Love the takeaway options to keep in my freezer and that you can do individual or family sizes. Even cater to the gluten intolerant! ????????

Bonnie Hunter

Delicious food, wonderful staff and an amazing part of the community, COCO has it all!! ????

Anne Chorneyko

WOW! Surprise! Surprise!!! What looks like a rather ordinary little, be it clean, cozy cafe, has delicious culinary cuisine. Old cliche applies, don't judge a book by it's cover. Cafe is packed to the brim, you likely will have to wait to place your order, then wait again for the food to arrive at your table. Judging from what I observed, it has plenty of regular clientele that frequent this establishment. Once I tried my meal, I understood why. Plus... delightfully, Coco's has a wide variety of freshly packaged, refrigerated entree's to chose from for your next meal or to put in the freezer for a later date. Those with a sweet tooth can find some scrumptious offerings to satisfy their appetite. I tried the French Toast Cinnamon Bun for my brunch. It was a plate of sticky, yummy, gooey, goodness... overflowing with a rich creamy icing sauce. Added to that plate was three pieces of the best bacon I've ever had at any restuarant, made to perfection. Guard that bacon your life, otherwise your companions may be tempted to snatch it from you (even though they have their own). Beyond the outstanding food, Coco's has some pretty impressive community outreach programs that they are involved with. Altogether, this place should have a solid FIVE STAR rating. Coco's Cafe is located in Cedar Creek, BC.

Sean White

Lovely vibe in this place. Food was delicious and fast. Poached eggs were perfect, sausage was a delight. It's off the beaten path a bit when you're driving up from Victoria, but I will stop here each morning I travel up island now. What a great restaurant!

Greg Yoshida

The family pack meals are a great value and very tasty.

gordon elliott

Mmmm coffee ????

Delicious won ton soup on Fridays

Andrea Burke

I have been going to Coco's for years now and have never had a bad experience. I ordered Christmas dinner from them this year and honestly, it was better than I could have cooked myself. I am looking forward to ordering my Easter dinner from them. Thank you for always being so kind and caring.

macleedonald

Good businesses make you feel appreciated. Coco Café does so much for so many and it shines throughout their food, customer service & community involvement. Melanie the Manager is always so pleasant and can light up a room with her smile. I love it here and know you will too!

Steve Bowen

Great food. Good prices. Community supporting business model.

Av Lang

The food is overpriced which would be fine (it’s a independent place) but the food is underwhelming and the portion sizes are very small. I ordered a wrap and it was over $17, when I checked in the bag the wrap was so much smaller then I was expecting for the price. On top of that I was the only customer when I ordered my takeout and it took them forever to make my wrap.

Wendy Hall

Coco Cafe does a superb job of meeting 2 needs. First it's an excellent cafe that serves delicious breakfasts, lunches and coffee break treats. Second, it provides valuable job opportunities for community members with special needs.Coco Cafe also offer an excellent catering service and sells ready-made meals to take home and heat up.I love to eat at Coco Cafe, have hired them to cater a dinner and often take meals home with me. I've told many friends about it who now enjoy Coco Cafe too

Jan Hallgrimson

Great as usual. Savory scone, Potatoes Bacon corn chowder, ham and cheese croissant, banana bread. All were very good. The soup could have been a little hotter, but the flavour was great.

Thakshila Vandermeer

Love this place... No words can express how much of a gem this place it. One must go and try the food to know how blessed we all are that places like coco cafe is the reason little towns are special.

Nicole Gervais

Came in for a late breakfast. Lattes were excellent, bennie's were fresh and perfectly poached! Excellent place and an amazing community organization. We'll defintely be back!

Gil McEachern

Nice little spot in Cedar...I highly recommend the breakfast bowl! ????

Patricia O'Brien

Good coffee but don't go late in the day ( like after 3). All they kept saying was that they closed soon. True but they were still open?? It was obvious that they close before they close and were not happy to have the business. My guess is that the staff don't get paid to clean after business hours. They literally moved us from the outside seats while we were still drinking our coffee. Too weird!

Dan st laurent

Great food. Great and friendly staff.

Sonja Lindquist

good food, good parking, good service but small.

Dave Studer

The foos is fresh and tasty.

Teresa H

Fabulous food!!

Andrea G

Delicious lunch, sweet treat and a take home meal served with a smile - couldn't ask for more and will definitely be back!

annie “Anna” flores

I usually don't write bad reviews or give 1 star but I waited for my iced coffee for almost 30min! I got my baked goods at the till and waited without coffee to eat my goodies. If i knew it took this long i would have passed! Staff was friendly and apologized but would have been nice to know the wait would be long. Talk about island time. Best to come here if you got nothing to do but just chill n wait. Update ... finally went back. Covid protocols changed which probably made it a little easier on staff and customers. Goodies amazing as usual and coffee only took a minute to get! Thank you ❤ 5 star update!

Matt Ollech

Tasty breakfast. Looks like they have a bunch of take and bake food options as well. Will have to come back again!

Jennifer Borzel

I absolutely LOVE this business! The business model and social impact is magnificent and the food is just as good!! As local business owners they have gone above and beyond several times to ensure our orders were correct and ready!
