Excellent coffee. Need to get whipping cream from dairyland to lower carb count and then it would be perfect!!!
Fav coffee shop on the island. Great advice and great coffee.
Great coffee! Should change their menu to better indicate which flavours are available as drip vs pour over but otherwise an amazing little spot for a brew
The Sirene chocolate selection is a treat! Their matcha from Jagasilk is phenomenal. Always the friendliest staff. They make their own non-dairy milk, too.
Decent by Canadian standards but still not good beans for those who are into third wave coffee. Overroasted and way too bitter.
The best coffee and friendliest staff in Nanaimo! I love that it's fresh roasted in-shop, and you can chat with the Roaster as they make you your coffee.
Best ever.
Hands down the best coffee in Nanaimo! These guys have a passion for coffee that brings me back every time I visit Nanaimo. A hidden gem!
Wow! Top notch coffee! I’m always on the lookout for phenomenal 3rd wave coffee shops and this definitely made the list! Right up there with the best coffee shops! The staff is super helpful, knowledgeable about coffee, enthused about what they do! I highly recommend you give these guys a try!
Excellent caffeinated beverages. I try to stop in whenever I am passing through Nanaimo.
Ginger beard man is good at the bean bending
Honduran beans in a pour over was great! It's lovely to see some great coffee shops opening up in nanaimo!
Fresh roasted pour over coffee. As good as it gets!
This coffee shop smelled amazing when you walked in. The coffee is good (according to my boyfriend) but the matcha latte was lacking some flavor. They probably just needed to add more matcha. But the baking was awesome!! We had a biscotti and a chocolate cookie and they were both so good.
Craft coffee at its finest. Drive past Starbucks and head directly here.
I loved their Chai latte! Delicious
Perfect coffee and treats
Probably the best coffee you ever have, had great conversation with some baristas. Excellent biscotti
This place and Killer Coffee have the best tasting coffee I've found in town.
Great locally roasted coffee and treats!
Im pretty sure this is the best coffee in Nanaimo
Fantastic coffee with friendly customer service!
Best Coffee around and fantastic service!
Looking for a good atmosphere with good local coffee? This place is definitely worth checking out. The location is a bit unique but that doesn’t seem to stop people from making the trip. Highly recommend.
Top shelf Coffee, friendly service, inviting atmosphere... It's the triforce of artisan roast beans.
Smooth and flavourful. Stop by Regard and enjoy a coffee that will sharpen and mollify.
$8 for a double Americano ? No dark roast ? Surprise d to see they are still in business Edit - Owner, just sharing my experience, the price was $6 and I left a $2 gratuity.
Thank you for making Nanaimo a better place. Young people are so wonderful!! Not to mention the amazing coffee.
Great pour-over. Friendly service and attention to detail.
Best coffee on Vancouver Island! And the kombucha is amazing, too. And to top it all, they are so friendly and clearly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about coffee.
Amazing coffee, cool dudes!
Very good coffee and very good impression. They offered me a sample of their drip coffee so I could try before buying.
Good coffee, cool vibe. Not much seating.
Stopped in this morning for a pick me up. Awesome friendly service, and one heck of an Americano. I will be back. Officially my new coffee spot . Do yourself a favor and give them a "shot" ????
Awesome customer service. Great Coffee. Always a pleasure chatting with the excellent staff. 10 stars!
High quality coffee and baked goods, kind and friendly staff, efficient service. What more could you ask for?
In my opinion, you can't get a better cup of coffee or better service in any other coffee shop in town.
Doing it right. These guys know a thing or two about roasting. Great cup of coffee that matches the atmosphere it's made in.
Stellar service, five-star coffee.
Great coffee, great staff. They roast their own beans, which interested me, and they took time to answer my questions. I'll be back.
All around the best place ???? thank you for the delicious tea latte, coffee, and homemade almond/oat/cashew milk!!
Amazing coffee, best we've had in 3 weeks in USA and Canada. Friendly and lovely staff, really nice vibe inside. Ordered a piccolo and a cappucino, and they delivered the goods. Thanks guys!
Service
Best coffee around
Always good, friendly service and delicious coffee/treats!
So great to finally have a proper, local coffee shop in Nanaimo. Andrew is a great barista and loves to talk coffee, also very friendly.
What's in the box!!!!???
Excellent service and attention to detail. Of you like coffee this is one of the only places in Nanaimo where they care about coffee culture and sustainability. Highly recommended!
Coffee was great ...service even better.
Love this spot in Nanaimo. Amazing coffee.
THE best coffee in town ???? The guys there are amazing...be sure to stop in soon!
Not a place to go hang out for sure. But the coffee was gooooooood.
Take out
Best coffee in Nanaimo. Good variety of coffee. Very friendly and promote a sort of community environment.
Great local roaster. Pour over was on point.
Best coffee roaster in Nanaimo. Great staff.
The best coffee in Nanaimo hands down. Whenever I'm in town I hit this place up. The staff are always knowledgeable and fun. They could do something about the interior though it's not at all cozy or a good place to sit with friends.
Delicious pour over. Great recommendations. Easily accessible off hwy.
If you want a real cup of cappuccino you are in the right place. Amazing hidden spot in Nanaimo.
Great coffee, it's worth the detour!
My very best regards to Regard Coffee for pouring a superb "cup of" this morning. Today was my second visit to their roasting location on Boban beside Smoking George. Such passionate people committed to roasting a quality bean to perfection. If you think Starbucks make good coffee then go home, leave these people in peace. If you want to drink coffee that is thoughtfully and knowledgeably roasted to achieve perfection, then go. Their roast is on the lighter side with softer subtle rounded flavours. But they can kick it up if you need more punch. This location is not their social~swirl~covo and caffeine location. For that, head to their Bowen Road location. This location is simple and austere. It's where they roast. So go for some education, a good latte, beans and the business of damn good coffee.
Oh damn! Regard's Columbian blend makes a delicious espresso ????????
Excellent coffee
Friendly staff, good coffee. Sometimes the simpler, the better.
Best coffee in town! Friendly staff... not a lot of seating which is a bit of a drawback if you want to sit in to drink your coffee, but otherwise top class.
Amazing tea, coffee, and cookies! Love the service and welcoming atmosphere!
cool staff, great coffee and cookies
One of the best coffee shops in BC. Keep it up guys
Lovely little coffee shop with super friendly staff and really good coffee. I’ll stop again when coming through
Fantastic coffee, interesting bean selection and great service!
Since moving to Nanaimo from Vancouver, I've been searching for a favourite coffee shop and I've finally found it! Freshly roasted beans and fast, friendly service. This will be my new coffee haunt!
Best coffee in Canada.
The mocha was amazing and the staff was super friendly
This is the best coffee you will get if you are going any further west than Nanaimo. Port Alberni, Ucluelet, Parksville, Coombs, and even Tofino don’t have as good of coffee, I’ve tried literally everywhere. I’m very serious about my light roast coffee. Courtney is the next best place to get coffee similar. I look forward to visiting here every year. I will drive from Port Alberni to Nanaimo just for the coffee here. Exceptional beans, bursting with flavour.
I love this coffee so much I get it shipped to Montreal where I live.
Best coffee in Nanaimo! Just wish they had a location downtown, where you could stay a while!
Best coffee in Nanaimo
These guys really know their stuff. Was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and dedication they put into making coffee, as well as their knowledge. They clearly know what they're doing!
Wonderful coffee and enthusiastic staff!
Wonderful coffee bar! Exceptional coffees prepared with care by very knowledgeable staff. They use several different ways to brew and they had 6 varieties of coffee to choose from, all roasted in house.
Excellent coffee place in Nanaimo
Cool guys serving Nanaimo the BEST in house roasted coffee ever! Classy joint!
The three young Baristas were very friendly and had a great sense of humor the coffee tastes good too.
Love the coffee here!
Awesome coffee and staff
Consistently good coffee.
Just purchase my 1st bag of beans from regard coffee. I am in heaven. Deliciously roasted thank you so much.
Great staff and great coffee
Exceptional coffee experience , two of the best espressos I've ever had,house blend and Ethiopian , the pastry was also something else absolutely delicious , very impressed and highly recommended.
Friendly staff and great coffee! This coffee shop is also a roaster and had a great selection of single origin and blended coffees. Try one of their feature espressos and you won't be disappointed. I plan on stopping here every time I go through Nanaimo.
A fun tiny coffee place where they roast and brew. The coffee is excellent and met the standards of the coffee expert in Vancouver I gave it to as a gift!
Can only to go it right now but the cookie was fantastic and the cappuccino had a nice chocolaty flavor profile and was very well made. I would skip the banana bread next time.
What started for us as a single cup has turned into buying Regard beans 5lbs at a time. The coffee is excellent and the staff are awesome.
Excellent coffee, very friendly staff. Great place to pick up beans as well.
Delicious coffee in this pared-down classy café. The servers were very friendly and gave us tips on other shops and restaurants in the area to check out. I'll be going back again for another americano soon, and maybe take some time to read the art magazines & sci fi books on the shelves.
Great coffee and service every single time!
Overpriced, noisy, and small. Can't say I understand the hype. The drinks were tiny, and tasted mediocre at best. Stick to Starbucks.
Good coffee shop with cool atmosphere. They don't use a barista blend of almond milk, just almond breeze which doesn't foam well, separates quickly and hasn't the best taste. I'd suggest getting a barista blend of either almond milk (Pacifica Barista edition) or oat milk (oatly barista).
Great cappuccino and friendly staff!
Excellent coffee and espresso. Always an interesting and flavourful selection of coffee beans to choose from as well as baked goods.
Really damn good coffee and the baristas were funny. Great experience. I'll be heading back the next time I'm in town
Really good coffee!
The staff here are sweethearts, the coffee is wonderful and the clientele are really kind too! Place is tiny so sharing tables brings strangers together. A lovely experience overall.
Best coffee in town, best Baristas and even better coffee art.
Always great, always consistent. Hardest thing to replicate is perfect coffee. You won't be disappointed.
Great coffee, great guys. Come here.
I love the coffee at RCR! Its always freshly roasted and delicious! Even better than the coffee, though, is the friendly, knowledgeable staff! They answer all my questions, make well informed suggestions and always have lots to say about the very high quality coffee they serve and sell!
Best cuppacino EVER ! Delicious coffee, good cookies, and awesome staff.
Great coffee, not much seating. I was impressed with my flat white, very well made; I'm only giving 4 stars bc there's not much seating, a couple of open benches and one table. Fine for an espresso, not great for lingering.

Awesome coffee and staff.
These guys are spot on every single time
This cafe is so great! The service is excellent. We spilled a coffee all over the place and they were so nice about it and immediately made us a new one. ???? The coffee was really good too. I like their nut milk. It would be nice if they had a few other baked good options but otherwise the coffee is excellent.
Tasty and hip!
Some of the best coffee on the island!
Positively splendid, the staff are fun and the drinks are spectacular
Best coffee in Nanaimo! It was recommended to me, and I have recommended this place to my friends
The coffee is good; it's roasted in house and fresh ground for every poured over cup. It's much higher quality than I can really speak to, and the price was very reasonable. The decor is very modern, clean and minimal, and the space is nice and open. Friendly staff too, who are clearly passionate about a good cup of coffee.
Lovely. Just great. 3rd wave coffee you should be drinking. Support your local roasters ????
Excellent Latte, smooth and tasteful, friendly service, convenient location. Nice place.
Best coffee in town
Artisnal coffee perfection. Coffee culture arrives in Nanaimo.
Yesterday I stopped in for the 2nd time, and was just as impressed as I was the first time. This has to be one of the best coffee stops on Vancouver Island.
Best coffee in town, great atmosphere
Best coffee in Nanaimo. Love the fresh roasted coffee with a variety of different beans to try from pour over menu. It's always tasty and consistent. Tiny little barebones shop, but worth it for the coffee. The guys are super friendly. Will be back for sure.
Best coffee in Nanaimo!
I got a 'large' (really the size of a medium) latte. They do not carry any stevia or any other sweeteners. No problem, but when I finally got my latte, it was barely lukewarm. Over $5 and I got a small sized, lukewarm latte. I have NO idea why this place is getting 5 star reviews, (unless the owner is paying bot and review farm for the reviews). I think the only thing worse than the coffee is the incredibly passive aggressive responses from the owner to negative reviews on this site. The staff was nice though.
Very minimalist establishments. No signage on the front except for the windows. VERY GOOD coffee. The baristas are definitively pros and passionate about making good tasteful coffee. Cant believe we found this gem in Nanaimo. YOU GOTTA go there if you love coffee like us. We also had the almond cookies that they make in their other location and it was perfect amount of sweet. The tumeric cookie was my favourite. Will definitively go back when im back in town.
Best coffee worldwide
Best coffee in Nanaimo! Humble, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Lovely place!
Delicious and decadent coffee!! The BEST in Nanaimo hands down.
Great service, best pour over in town, and it's a local Roastery!
Over a year of great coffee and great smiles - deserving of a five star rating! Great work Andrew (and Darren).
Hands down best coffee in Nanaimo if not the island.
Outstanding coffee
People kept telling me to try this coffee. And I was like whatever. Maybe some day. Today a buddy of mine took me here, and I was pretty underwhelmed by the place. Nothing really in it. Not even chairs or tables. Made some awkward small talk with the barista as they made my coffee. Took a sip, and I was just... shocked. I literally stopped walking after the first step. I’ve never had such good coffee. It’s like I’ve never even drank coffee before I came here. My god, I have been missing out by not coming here.
great coffee & friendly people
Best coffee in town.
I've only visited The Met location. The barista was super helpful and friendly. Coffee was decent but a tad expensive for the sizes. I just wish Nanaimo coffee shops were more comfortable and inviting. One table and a hard wooden bench does not make for a great experience. Why can't business owners create a warm and cozy atmosphere in coffee shops here? It's rather disappointing ????.
Friendly, quick and delicious with happy employees working at a local business, what more could you want?
Amazing coffee and even better staff and service. Not from the area but make a point to visit every time I am. Great place for a proper cup and a fresh baked treat. Perfect way to start the day!
Great coffee
I'm glad I found this place. The thought of their coffee motivates me to get up in the morning.
I’m currently sipping on the most delicious chai latte, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in need of a boost. It’s such a quaint little shop with friendly staff ???? keep up the good work!
I've never had a bad experience here, the baristas are excellent, and their coffee is amazing.
I love to come here when I'm visiting Nanaimo. I love the quality of the coffee and the minimalist atmosphere. It's a great place to take a breather where I can (finally) quench my addiction while I'm away from Vancouver. Andrew is clearly quite knowledgable and passionate about coffee - gotta love the love that goes into the brew! By the way, Brown is just a really common last name.
Excellent beans. Excellent coffee. Excellent owner and staff! Operating on a whole different level.
Love the bean flavors guys keep it up!!! Great Customer Service you guys sent me off w a latte today even though my card wouldn't work on your terminal...as long as I'm in the area I will continue to be a patron!! You got yourself some repeat business. (Edit:) Latte was fantastic!
This is the place to go if you want awesome coffee and more. It’s not fancy or shiny but the baristas are friendly, knowledgeable and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Everything is fresh, natural and ethically produced. Check it out and taste what a GREAT cup of coffee should be.
Their sourdough bread is the essence of all life in the universe.
I love the flavour of their coffee!! And great service and cute shop:)
Best cafe and overall vibe! The owners roast the beans in town, just fabulous! Had to buy some beans to bring back home. 5 stars oat milk laté!
What an amazing cappuccino. Also such great friendly service. Impressed at how this little shop has adapted their business to deal with Covid restrictions. Even payment from a distance. Well done! Will definitely be back when in the area next. Also look forward to trying the freshly roasted beans I purchased at home!
The cashew milk makes the espresso very watery. But the espresso itself has great taste.
Best coffee in Nanaimo, hands down. We buy their beans for home espresso making and they're consistently excellent.
Great to see a place like this in Nanaimo which replicates many of the places you would find further south in Victoria. Located in a land surrounded by Timmy Awfuls and Star Yuks this cafe is a shining light of what coffee should be, real milk, no skim, no sugar syrups and proper ratios of espresso to milk. Andrew is a fantastic guy happy to share in his love for coffee.
Meal type
Great coffee the barista‘s were wonderful so much better than the big chains had a mocha latte not bitter was fabulous
It's all about the coffee... I know it, they know it. Do you know it?
Totally awesome place!!!! Some really amazing coffee. And definitely get an espresso very very nice!
Best espresso coffee in Canada. Order the machiatto. It will change your life.
Best coffee in Nanaimo!
Always the greatest americano.
Baking goods are great! Coffee.. it's okay, you can live with it, but it's sort of 'weak', matcha is not great, not terrible. Didn't like the oat/almond milk mixture, and prices.
This is the best place to stop for a coffee when heading to the ferry or down Island. Nice people and great coffee!
Excellent coffee. High quality and very tasty latte! Great staff. A must!
Really great coffee... Real, great people.
Got an Americano and it tasted like water. Also if people aren't allowed in the store use your words before you put out your hands to block people from entering. I felt so unwelcomed at the beginning that I started to walk away
Best coffee around
The coffee tastes great and the people who work there aren't jerks!
Best latte in Nanaimo
The staff are fantastic, but unfortunately my coffee was awful. Very sour.
Amazing coffee & super friendly staff! Never had a bad drink from these guys I’m always left super impressed. & if you’re looking for a really good place to get quality coffee beans for home this is the place to go! They roast all their own coffee it’s amazing
Good coffee. Good folks. Thumbs up!
Could be the best espresso drinks anywhere.
My favorite coffee place on the island. I make a point of stopping there everytime I'm in Nanaimo
The best London fog I ever had ....great atmosphere and great people
Very very good, caught me by surprise. Excellent coffee. Best coffee I've found while visiting Nanaimo so far.
Stopped in for the first time on a chilly morning, and their coffee and tart really hit the spot! The staff is very friendly and courteous. Looking forward to trying the beans I bought from them!
Regard Coffee is hands down the best coffee shop on Vancouver island. You immediately feel like family when you walk inside and they genuinely care about what you order and will take the time needed to make you the perfect drink. They serve luxury coffee and sensational baked goods. Over the past years my husband and I have formed amazing friendships with the regard staff and we wouldn’t want to be at any other coffee shop.
A good place for great coffee. It’s a bit hard to find being located in an outdoor shopping mall.
Great coffee and very chill staff
Extremely friendly staff and great coffee
Great coffee, great people. I encourage you to go there and enjoy the best coffee you have ever tasted.
Their coffee is so smooth and rich, THE BEST in town!!
