Very friendly staff, smoothie was massive and delicious. Nanaimo bar was unreal










Stop in here after my bike ride.Service is fast that's all I need thanks.















It's a cozy little place to enjoy a coffee and dessert with a friend, alone or to work on your phone or computer. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place. It really is a nice, clean , cozy Cafe.





This place is great! Love their drinks and food..top notch service and it's a cool place.





Very good coffee, almost as good as back home in coffee crazy New zealand. Nice people too and a cool vibe in the cafe. I'll be back

























Serious Coffee, downtown Nanaimo, has been a favorite for a long time - Always friendly staff and a clean atmosphere. I tend to be on the go a lot and I can always count on a quality beverage, snack, and a place to recharge myself (and my devices) to continue on to the next meeting, gig or just homeward bound. Not far from the harbourfront and surrounded by Nanaimo's shops and stores, they're right where you need 'em. They have something for everyone and, even with the new staff, ALWAYS a friendly face! Until that changes, they're a fav!





Always friendly clean coffee shop. Good munchies and drinks. Free WiFi too.





Cozy interior and a nice terrace right out front. You can share a pot of tea with a friend for under $3 which is awesome! And you can’t go wrong with any of the delicious sandwiches ;)





The first choice for me when we're looking for a cup. To be enjoyed seriously.





Excellent customer service and friendly atmosphere










Pleasant staff, quick service, decent gluten-free options compared to some other well known coffee chains.















Always great staff with great recommendations





Seriously good espresso.





Delicious coffee - still served with paper cup





Great lattes, REALLY good milkshakes!










Good meeting place...










Too pricey





Average coffee, good service!










Awesome coffee ☕️ Friendly staffs ???? And their Nanaimo bar is the “Die For” !!!





In my time while living on Vancouver Island, one thing I had been craving for a very long time was a fudgy brownie. I'm talking about a brownie that is actually chewy. One that is rich and moist inside, one that is an absolute experience to eat. I almost gave up on my hopes of ever finding one. All roads seemed to have led to disappointment. But no more. The brownie I had at this place was BY FAR the best brownie I have ever had in a long time, without exaggeration, and it has reignited my hope in the existence of good, chewy, and fudgy brownies. I left this cafe satisfied with my brownie, and the only regret is that I didn't pick up extras before I left Nanaimo to go back to Victoria.





The staff here are always friendly. The drinks are okay when you're on the go, but there are better places in town if you want an excellent coffee.





Good coffees










Had the London Fog. Tea. Not so serious coffee. I hope they do coffee better than the tea. Usually I don't have to sweeten it.










Always great coffee





Great local place to hang out and have a cup of something with a nice treat.





Serious coffee and slower sandwiches. Out of the three times I have been here, I have left with a good experience. Their menu has a good selection and I haven't gotten anything of poor quality yet. Only complaint I have is their food from order to serve time is a little long. I ordered a pre-made sandwich in the by till container and ask for it warmed and that process took 5 minutes. Beyond the small delays this is a solid place in my eyes. Staff are also pretty friendly!

























Nice place to sit outside and people watch has WiFi. Yummy goodies and great service










Serious Coffee is a great place to visit in downtown Nanaimo. Enjoy a coffee, tea or beverage and a snack or meal. Sit outside and watch the world go by. Great owners and great staff ☕☕????????










Great coffee and great service !





Good serve and great coffee





Had my first Nanaimo bar here!! So good





Baristas are happy and quick! Always a good product, good location.










Nanaimo bar for approx $3. Each was individually Saran wrapped. Average bar. Average feel for a cafe, comfy.





Great coffee, cute baristas.





Fantastic ground chai















Always great drinks and meals, quick service, comfortable seating and convenient location. Great for meeting people and for sitting with a laptop. Easy parking downstairs under VICC. Nice connection to the Art Gallery and shop, with quieter seating in the spot between the gallery and the coffee shop.





Owner and waitress were great. Coffee is fantastic and the turkey muffin thingy was delish. Love love the music in here . It brightens my day.





One of the best locations in town





Friendly staff even when it was super busy. Decent pricing and the staff got me through quick. Love this place.





Awesome coffee. I tried a Latte and my girlfriend got a Chai Tea Latte. She said it was one of the best she's ever had. Amazing cookies and Nanaimo bar as well. Highly recommend, especially on a rainy day like the day I visited.





Great coffee shop! Good coffee, neat decor and ambience. A nice alternative to the ever present Tim's and Starbucks















Great service. Love the Turkey Bacon Club Panini sandwich.





Nice atmosphere food is good, However 9 times out of 10 the food is Ice cold in the center even despite me asking for extra toasted every time I. Today they forgot my order entirely....not Impressed. MY advice to a manager who may read this Try your panini toast it eat and see how Fricken cold it is, there is no excuse for Ice cold food ALL THE TIME. If you are Making 2 paninies take the time to microwave them Separately so they can actually heat. In all honesty I like the place and food, but you guys are making it hard for me to want to continue to support your business.





Great Chai latte and Nanaimo bar!!





Stopped in for a Nanaimo bar while visiting the island. I believe they won best Nanaimo bar in 2016. They were great! So good! I would however recommend eating in the restaurant instead of the patio, as the people hanging around outside are interesting to say the least!










Best breakfast bagel










Lovely staff and had some good coffee




















A great cup of coffee, friendly staff and an exciting area to sit and people watch.





Very nice and quaint place










Don't love the taste of the coffee but decent atmosphere being attached to the museum and decent snacks










Awesome atmospere. Great service. The products are great





The egg salad sandwich on marbled rye is amazing.










Great drinks, good food. Always crowded around lunch hour. They have outdoor seating which is rare downtown, so that's definitely a plus.





Hello I recently received a free hot chocolate and a grilled cheese sandwich from this place and to tell you the truth it wasn't the first time this has happened to me. ..so 5 stars to the staff at serious coffee. ..cheers





(Translated) Delicious sandwiches! (Original) Heerlijke broodjes!















Friendly people. Relaxing atmosphere. One of my favorite places















Seriously the best coffee on Vancouver Island . As well Vegan friendly ❤️ .When I go out to coffee with my friends Serious Coffee is where we come . Love this company is A local Vancouver Island company .










Excellent milkshakes. And the best cappuccino I have ever had. It is a dry one, and they do it just right for me. There food is all excellent too. What goes a long way with them is the staff. They are friendly and easy-going all the time. This is where many coffee bars fail. People just want to be treated with respect and kindness. Thanks for your Service, SERIOUS COFFEE!





Love the vibe!





Super friendly. Great coffee ????????















Really good





My favorite coffee shop in Nanaimo!





Good coffee, comfy seats beside a fire, not Starbucks priced.





Most of the time when I go there it is an amazing experience and I have wonderful service by the staff. Today however was not so great, I went there with a friend and got a latte and the girl who took my order didn't even bother to smile or even attempt to act nice. She kept on clashing all of the utensils around while she was making my latte and when she served it to me she practically slammed it down in front of me, some of the latte even spilled out and she just walked away really quickly. I'll still always come here, I'll just make sure I have a different server.










Although they didn't have bacon in their breakfast sandwiches, I enjoyed the dark roast





Always great service and great coffee ????










Best goddamm place to get a good cheap but amazing coffee















Serious coffee is a great spot for the coffee breakers. Beyond a good cup of joe, or americano, their baked goods are tasty and reasonably priced. I have a particular weakness for their oat bars and rarely manage to leave without ordering one. Their soup and sandwiches also make a nice, if decadent, lunch. Most of the baristas at this location are helpful and speedy. My favourite chain in Nanaimo!





Very quiet, and friendly staff :)





Good food, interesting specialty drinks (tasty too)



































Lovely cooffe shop





Love the service, the drinks, atmosphere and their peanut butter bars. I only wish it was bigger with more seating!





My favorite coffee spot in Nanaimo. Staff is friendly and provides great service. Great cup of coffee and really enjoyed the turkey club panini.





Lots of good baked treats to choose from and really good coffee. The large coffee is huge, it kept me going all day.





Good coffee and very good service!










Best coffee in Nanaimo.





Cozy and great place for have coffee










Good coffee. Chill atmosphere. Good food.





Great manager, great staff, great coffee. Also the syrup they carry is da bomb dot com and vegan friendly to boot (even the white chocolate, it's kosher certified so it is dairy free). Watch out, Starbucks, Serious Coffee is coming for you. ????





Great coffee and their baked goods are a class on their own. Try the gingersnap cookies!





Yummy bagels and excellent hot chocolate and Moccha was served to us here with love! Highly Recommended!





(Translated) daze (Original) 发呆










Great coffee, good environment to hangout in, and most importantly lovely staff

























Great coffee good lunch. Staff need go be aware that people are in line for fast service. Special orders and advance orders need to be taked aside so line not slowed.





I thoroughly enjoy this spot, good service, decent sitting space in a good location





Good green tea





Relaxed, home like environment with all friendly staff.










Ok no issues but a bit clicky





Cute little place to have a coffee and a Nanaimo bar!










Like the Haselnut and Chocolate Crunch. Very good coffee, perfect alternative for all mega coffee chains.










This is THE location. Great owner and staff. Friendly and accommodating.





Nice place for a breakfast and a good price ???? the staff is friendly and my beagle was very fresh. I say good service ????










Great service!















Serious Coffee is a fantastic coffee spot in Nanaimo. First off, the service from the staff is amazing. They really take care of you and make the ordering process easy! Their menu has a couple of fun items such as Nanaimo Bar Latte and a couple of other “favourite items”. I got a regular iced latte and it was delightful. The coffee was roasted beautifully and it had a dark chocolatey taste!





Best coffee in town.





Very nice people and cozy place. Price a bit expensive but good coffee





Nice spot but they dont make a traditional cappuccino





I found my dark roast to be watery and lacking flavour. I like the atmosphere but I was also disappointed that their whole menu is wrapped in plastic. Grab and go is great but they need a more sustainable way to.offer grab and go!










One of my go to spot for coffee whenever I'm at downtown. Consistently good service and coffee.










Liked the coffee with brown sugar in it, ground London fog was alright, but packaged sweets from the earth "organic" peppermint Nanaimo bar made us nauseous










Nice sitting for coffee





Excellent Dark Roast!





Great little coffee shop right next to a really good little museum.




















Remade my partner's iced tea to fix flavor and they were friendly and very capable! Excellent selection, try the chai!





Good food, good coffee, a bit expensive, no parking.





Unexpectedly good coffee - not mediocre or passable - which is so rare in Canada! Thanks!










The grilled cheese panini is amazing with salsa!!





It's coffee and it's good but it took the girl a long time to make me a cappuccino and I was the only one there the cup just sat on the bar .... I was like really you forgot ????





Awesome location!















clean, nice downtown place





Its super expensive. 4+ for a small coffee of any sort. Also 4.50+ for a small wrap or bagel. 6+ for sandwiches. Not a lot of option for food.





Stopped in for a quick lunch whole waiting for an appointment. London Fog was good, but the grilled cheese was great!!





This is a pretty nice coffee shop in the heart of downtown Nanaimo. It's close to all the shops, restaurants, and the Art Gallery, and it's a great place to cool off, hang out, and have a coffee and a snack. The staff are helpful and friendly and the drinks are tasty and generous. My only wish is for the decor to be a little less...1990s, but there's no arguing about taste. :) I strongly recommend Serious Coffee for anyone looking have a quick sip, a casual date, or just a place to hang out.










Great espresso!





Don't like it there period





Staff are very friendly and the place has a great atmosphere. The pastry is amazing! The coffee is great and so is their other drinks. Definitely recommend.





Great place for coffee ☕





Coffee & atmosphere was very good





Always friendly staff and great service





Updating a review, still fantastic :). Best baristas and the black forest mocha i have rightnow is great. Also really appreciate the little Christmas train.










The staff could be trained better, some minor errors in drink orders etc. However, staff are friendly and shop atmosphere is good.





Good coffee, just ok brownies















Wonderful coffee ☕





I’ve been here many times and always rock this place. I love you ????





Fantastic service and very well cooked fish.















Very nice specialty Coffee Shop in Nanaimo. Located on Commercial Street the heart of the city. The food is good, and the owner still makes homemade Nanaimo Bars for dessert. With a fantastic atmosphere where you can enjoy a cup of java, get some work done via free internet, or enjoy a quiet conversation over a great choice and reasonably priced lunch with a friend. There's spacious sitting inside,. in the adjacent Museum, or on the street patio outside.





This is a Vancouver Island chain of coffee houses - - a nice alternative to the look, feel and taste of Starbucks. They have lots to offer in the way of food items, coffees and other drinks. Be sure to check it out when you're on the island.





If you are a coffee lover highly recommend. Lovely location and amazing coffee. A nice sitting area outside as well.





Great sandwiches










Tasty coffee! I've been coming here for years and have had great experiences.





Beautiful day to sit on the outside seating





Great coffee that you can only find on the island! A bit pricy but that’s to be expected at a local coffee shop. Had the mango smoothie and it was pretty good. Nothing special about it. Their daily brewed coffee is good; not bitter or sour and they have locally sourced coffee beans to sell.





Love the vibe





Girlfriend got a Pumpkin Spice Latte here and it was good. I like the coffees here usually too, and it is always very popular with the locals.










Good place on Commercial street, downtown Nanaimo to chillax and have coffee and snacks. Nice customer service with fairly good menu. Prices are little expensive side compared to Tim Horton's. This store is adjacent to museum so pass one door to get into it. During Summers this place will be busy with lot of tourists. There are pay parking slots on streets but there is underground private parking slots free for its customers but very few slots alloted and one has to be lucky to get it. Hence not worth to drive all the way down and come back without parking.





Ok coffee.










So nice black coffee! also wonderful place!!





Wonderful atmosphere, great selection of beverages, very friendly staff and a must-try Nanaimo bar latte





Staff was very nice and generous. I quite enjoyed my shot in the dark.










Good atmosphere, coffee and num nums










The girls are always so friendly and quick to remember orders. My boyfriend and I are regulars there, and they know us - and even his dog - by name and check if they can provide a treat for him. Today they went above and beyond for a coffee order for my work group. Marin (sorry I’m awful with names and y’all are so good!) walked replacement drinks over to us a few blocks away when they realized that the espresso machine was acting up. Thank you so much for always giving great service and quality food and drinks!










Barista made me laugh. Americano and breakfast bagel good.





the girl at the cash had an attitude when we asked to use the bathroom and did an aweful job on the ice cream today gave us sticky napkins was discusting





Amazing !!! I'm a coffee and tea snob.. and I loved my London fog latte.





Meeting place downtown. Snacks while waiting.






























Went with 2 ollegues today? We were all highly disappointed in our drinks. None of us for 1/3 in before throwing them away. Gross!















Great coffee, wonderful service!





Nice place as usual with serious coffee. Staff nice and very lovable. Good job





Love the London Fogs!





Damn shame this location closed. Planning to reopen anywhere near there? Best coffee I was able to find near me.





The dark roasted coffee is very good ...










Seriously good Americano. Busy place in the morning










Good coffee!





Nice coffee shop





Had coffee with a colleague and we had great friendly service and almost no wait time. Our coffee's weee so good and i love the selection of drinks, very tasty.





I love this place. They have good coffee, excellent service with friendly staffs and you must try their "chicken apple brie". It's to-die-for!










Giving four stars - the staff and customer service deserves 5 stars, however, the lattes and espresso drinks have gone down hill in quality since the new owners took over. The coffee itself gets 3 stars.





There was a hipster barista










Nanaimo bars are the best here in downtown Nanaimo. Coffee great too!





Once about 4 weeks ago





Quite cozy, and most of the timws is not crowded. The staff is nice





A great place to go for coffee when your downtown Nanaimo.





Serious Coffee is a great chain up and down the island!















Wonderful coffee shop. Nice atmosphere inside. My fave coffeeshop in Nanaimo when I visit.





Always enjoy stopping at the best espresso joint in Nanaimo, steps from the City Harbor. Excellent coffee beverages. Good place to hang out and read paper, talk or enjoy Wi-Fi for hours.





The place is perfect. Good coffee, wide variety of eats, WiFi, well chosen background music etc etc. Can't think of a thing wrong with the place.










Great coffee and treats. Friendly staff.





Friendly people, local businesses, nice little coffee shop. Popped in for a morning coffee on my walk while visiting. Got a latte. Would be nice if they added the sweeteners before the milk so they didn't stir their art ????????♂️




















Dont know her name but the barista who made my chai tea latte was great! She made the tea perfect drinking temp, and on top of that her service skills are great! 10/10, great job!





Always Love serious coffee!





OMG....LONDON FOG !!!!!!!!

























Love the new stone ground London Fog. Ground chai will be next!










A great spot to watch life go by in summer





Ok total Canadian thing.... but if you love an amazing Nanaimo bar OR if you have no idea what I am talking about, Serious Coffee is the place to go!! Yes they have won awards for their NANAIMO BAS AND RIGHTLY SO!! These delectable treats have a layer of chocolatey, coconut, walnut, graham cracker magical base, with a sweet creamy middle layer of yellow custard topped with a layer of chocolate. The key to these beauties is the ratio of each layer which Serious Coffee takes serious! They hold their form with every bite, and the custard is never grainy ( important detail) and the crumbly base layer never crumbles apart(another important detail) I've filled my face with MANY Nanaimo bars over the years and I mean MANY! In fact I actual will seek them out to find the best ones because nothing is worse than eating one that doesn't live up to expectations. So when we came across these it was like I had won the lottery!! They are pretty close to perfect IMO and if you love these like I do or have never had one Serious Coffee is the place to go!! Not sure about their coffee or other treats because I go there for the Nanaimo bars and have never had anything else! It's a good thing I don't live in Nanaimo, cause knowing how good they are I would be eating them everyday. It's a stop I make no matter what when ever I am on the Island! The BEST Nanaimo bars by far! And they have the hardware to back it up. Worth the price .....you won't regret it.










Amazing Lavendar London Fog!





Stopped in for a bottle of water on a hot day





Place offers freshly brewed coffee and ... little something to go along with your java. Whenever I walked in the staff looked happy and welcoming. Coffee shop also offers some food for takeout and is good for people on a go or if you happy to have no time to enjoy you cup of coffee while staying inside. I definitely recommend this coffeeshop for anyone visiting Nanaimo or just looking for a cup of coffee in this neighborhood.















Nice coffee shop. Great coffee and friendly staff. Cool location with tons of seating (chairs by the fireplace are awesome). More unique and creative than many small chain coffee shops.




















As I live in Alberta, I have to buy my "fix" when I visit. I love the stone ground chai and even when there isn't any pouches for me to grab off the shelf, they always fill up a pouch or 2 for me with my purchase. Not to mention the staff is always friendly and smiling





Seriously the best muffins EVER!!!!





Best Nanaimo bars in town ! Great coffee and service !





Christmas is here seriously..! All over the coffeeshop. Delicious foods and amazing coffee!! My favourite coffeeshop in Nanaimo????





Nice place.





Always good food and drinks





I like the layout of the shop and it's got a great variety of sweet and savoury foods like breakfast bagels and muffins and scones. I tried a mocha latte and a breakfast cheese and jalapeno ham and egg bagel, delicious The next day I tried an iced chai latte and it was perfect. The staff is very sweet and they bring out your hot food to you when you sit down after ordering. Would definitely come back.





Great sandwich and root beer float





Very good coffee! Customer service is exceptional !!! Would definitely recommend ☺





Cutest cafe with Canadianos the size of my face! And some of the friendliest people ever :)















Great staff, great product, and nice seating outside.





Local





Delicious Nanaimo bars





Really good coffee, Nanaimo bar and overall atmosphere. Have quite a bit of seating indoor and outdoor. The baristas were really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in making suggestions.





They always have neat latte flavours, and great sweet treats!





Service is great, nice and friendly staff however the coffee it's self is very bitter. It took my girlfriend and I seven packs of sugar to make the iced lattes drinkable










Gives you the perfect coffee experience, along with a range of coffee flavours at ur disposal















Good food, mellow atmosphere. Very chill.










It is so nice place for coffee , sandwiches and etc.. It is very tasteful and fresh coffee aroma. Wow!! Coffee cup size is very big and still no need to add extra shot. Staffs are all friendly , nice interior and clean floor. This is number 1 coffee shop in Nanaimo. Two thumbs up!!! ????????????????????????





Great coffee n icecream Ty was great service




















Great local coffee????





Great place to Chill and best coffee I ever had.




















Great casual atmosphere, great food...staff above all is what makes this place a favorite and a regular stop!!















Excellent service! Very warm and cozy! Coffee and soups are the best!!










I get coffee from Serious Coffee on Commercial Street in downtown Nanaimo daily and have never been disappointed. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and easy to chat with when they are not to busy. Kudos to you





Very good coffee, friendly staff and great Nanaimo bars.





very nice Coffee~~~










Good staff





You know if its busy it's good. It was both.










Coffee is always good. Decent price. Friendly staff. Tables out on the sidewalk for the good weather.
