Reviews of 32 Lakes Cafe and Bakery (Coffee Shop)

Miles Arbour

Despite having to reshape their business during Covid-19, Nevada, Ryan and the other staff at 32 Lakes have consistently offered the best customer service I've experienced in a long while. They also happen to offer some great drinks, baked goods, and pastries... which are all delicious. Always worth stopping by!

John Roland Burmeister

Great coffee and baked goods. Update - 5/5 as per response below, I will look into the origin. But I wasn’t able to find details myself and on the bag of “Hooked Medium” I purchased it is not marked on the bag. Still...great coffee and I am very happy with the quality even in my drip machine. —————— My original review.....3/5 Unfortunately, not one person could tell me WHERE their coffee was from, nor does their website, coffee bags or any where online. I would like to buy more but as a coffee nut, I like to know exactly what country my coffee is from ETC and these people couldn’t tell me anything. Very VERY disappointed to see such ambiguity around their “single origin” coffee.

Excellent coffee indeed - well balanced and not over-roasted. Our local accommodation provided their espresso beans and I ran it through a manual espresso machine. Looked forward to it every morning. The shop itself is minimalistic with clues from the Bauhaus which was very pleasant. Nice staff and friendly owner completed the experience.

Victor Lo

Delicious pastries. *Delicious*. And really wonderful staff!

Jeremy Davis

Great coffee home-roasted and served by expert baristas with yummy goodies to eat. Lovely cafe ambience too. More comfy chairs would be nice!

I did not enjoy their chai latte at all. It was at least a third foam and had a lot of grainy bits in it.

(Translated) The atmosphere is good and the coffee is really delicious. The bread is also delicious. Disadvantages It's only open until 3:00 pm. (Original) 분위기도 좋고 커피도 정말 맛있습니다. 빵도 직접 만드는데 맛있어요. 단점음 오후 3시까지밖에 영업을 안 한다는 것.. 더 길게 영압하면 좋겠음

The server wasn't gracious or pleasant with how she handled us and with her mistake in relation to us. We won't bother going back as we get treated a lot better at our usual haunts.

Hendrik van Wyk

Great little coffee spot. Want to see this grow and grow and grow. And they know how to make a flat white!

GSES Media

This is a beautiful little space with hands down the best coffee in Powell River.

Vancity Adventure

Grabbed a few drinks and baked goods for our trip.

They make the most awesome sourdough croissaunts

Nice aesthetic. Decent coffee (a little old could be replaced sooner) Wonderful, welcoming staff. All around a great place for coffee. I will be coming back.

Benjamin Klintström

Really good food, coffe and hot chocolate. Also the staff is extremely friendly and nice.

Chef Lekker

Grand space with great coffee. They offer house made cashew milk. Never had corn bread for breakfast but it is delicious. Great space for a party or event.

Martin Hryniewiecki

Fresh coffee beans every week. Pastries are fantastic. Super friendly staff.

Simon Durrant

The best coffee shop so far on our trip. Clean, bright and welcoming. Excellent coffee and their Sunday sourdough waffles are soooo good ☕????

Corinna Calder

I went to cafe to buy a cake, was in a rush. There was a family of 4 in front of me. I asked how long it might take to wait. A girl told me to go outside and wait. Very rude, did not expect that. Will NEVER EVER come back and NEVER recommend it to anybody.

Zachary Jones

A must stop if your looking for coffee craft and an attention to the art of caffeinated beverages. The best Americano I’ve had in a long time, and the baking is quite exceptional. An unexpected little gem in a remote coastal location. The level of which is sought after and rarely executed on with success even in larger cities....well done!

Excellent brewed coffee. Great little bakery (the only quality one in town that we found). Love the baguettes (get there early!) & the vegan granola bar. More vegan pastries (scones, muffins, etc.) would be amazing.

Anneli Maria

My favorite place to get a truly delicious cup of coffee. Their americanos are always made to perfection and their drip coffee is fantastic as a result of the high quality beans used. I also really appreciate how they make their own nut milk because I cannot have dairy. Also, they are local so I feel that is also very important to support.

Steve Driedger

Excellent latte and great baking. Pleasant relaxed atmosphere.

NRG Pokemon

Lukewarm cappuccino - though the coffee used was good. Smallest cappuccino I’ve had in ages. Little seating available. The front window bench is cold and is not stable. The guy on the other side wobbled it constantly without meaning to. Food was good but not noteworthy.

Beth May

Friendly staff and superb coffee

Ivet

Amazing business! I really enjoyed everything I tried there, even drip coffee was high standard. Definitely our top to go place, if we ever find ourself in Powell River again.

Jane McEwen

fabulous coffee fabulous food

Aren Scott

Great baked goods and coffee

Ralph Kahn

I found the coffee way too strong and bitter.

Debbie Hodges

Have to sit outside

Trevor Webb

Service that treats you like friends and family and the best baked goods and coffee in town!

alison durrant

We've been trying to find waffles for the last 11 days in Canada - everywhere seems to do pastries or egg Benny. When we walked into this lovely clean, bright, modern cafe and saw them on the menu we couldn't believe our eyes. Coffee really was so good, full of flavour, the waffles were fantastic and the ladies who were working on a Sunday could not have been more helpful. Do wish I could have gone back for their lunches.

Linda Woods

Just picked up 2 outrageously delicious Almond Croissants. Hands down, the BEST pastry ever!!!

jd schatzberg

Best coffee in Powell River

Bobbie at Polished Dental Hygiene

My husband and I went to 32 Lakes and Bakery today. The owners are a nice, friendly and welcoming couple. Working at coffee shops during uni, I've become accustomed to a good cup of coffee and theirs was perfect! Their sourdough bread is baked fresh and it is delicious! The atmosphere is inviting with great big windows to let in all the sunlight--it makes me feel like I'm in my home city!

Mati Kuroki

Quality products, good service!

S Perry

Delicious coffee, gorgeous space and the loveliest service. There will be a line since it is so popular but it is speedy and worth it. Don't leave without a treat to go with your drink! We had the savory salt and pepper biscuit and sausage rolls which were so delicious- perfect textures/mouth feel. But I am dying to try the granola and macarons -

Susan Lines

Less than luke warm Tumeric Latte at $5.50 with slightly stale pastries. Disappointed.
