Reviews of Shot In The Dark Cafe. (Translator)

Amanda Proctor

Love this place for lunch. Highly recommended

Paul “Seeking Sanity”

Wandered in and was surprised by the great selection of food. Staff was quite friendly and the sandwich I had was exceptional. Seemed expensive before I ate it. A real meal with great ingredients and super tasty. I'll definitely be back.

Steve Peterson

I loved the Tucson location. It was sad and shocking to me that Downtown folk moved on to the explosion of new downtown restaurants and left Shot in the Dark twisting in the wind. S. I. T. D. Cafe will be my first meal when I get to British Columbia! Lost one star for not being open all night. It is in Canada!

Tony Gardner

Keegan Milliken

Absolutely loved it. The coffee was amazing. Really cozy.

Emily Ewing

Amazing staff and friendly staff, and incredible homemade sandwiches and iced tea unaweetened...heaven!

Nina Baksh

Sean makes the best Butter Chicken. You don't know miss this lunch special.

Lauren Coles

Hostile and moody staff is right. Eggs weren’t cooked and ham was slimey. Man doing all the cooking had a full on meltdown and yelled at paying customers...

Quinn King

A really uncomfortable, awkward, and unwelcoming place to spend $20 for a really poor sandwich and coffee.

Curtis Yeatman

Great food. Great atmosphere and a great location across from the park and ocean. The downside: It is a shame in this age that there is no publicly available Wifi available (Only via ShawOpen - which requires an account). This would be a cafe that is frequently visiting by international travellers where getting on the internet to research your next location, email a loved one, or just to check on your Facebook. I am ashamed.

Phillip Meintzer

Incredible (and massive) sandwiches! Really friendly staff. A little more expensive than your typical sandwich spot / cafe, but definitely worth the extra dollar or two.

Dawn Christenson

Friendly independent neighbourhood coffee shop with the hugest sandwiches you've ever seen, so fresh and delicious. Locally famous.

M Landers

Sandwiches are awesome, good coffee and treats. Staff and service is good too. Bring an empty stomach and be prepared to be spoiled.

Garry Griffin

Local. Good coffee. Huge sandwiches

Paul Enns

Working staff here needs to speed up the service here a little

Michael Jones

Disappointing.

Marissa Zezza

Was upsold, and not give what I asked for. I asked for a simple bagel and was given a $15.00 sandwich instead. Will not be returning ever. Horrible place!!!

Agata Zurek

Amazingly delicious eggs benny! The service was very friendly and generous. Everyone who came remarked that their previous meal there had been fatastic. Nice atmosphere and view of a park and the sea. Had the coffee been exceptional too I would rate it 5 stars. As it was the coffee was passable.

tommy f. sparrow

The hours could be longer good food ???? love ???? this cafe Call ahead for your order. Food is awesome ???? Call ahead because its summer. It would be nice when you know when there open.

astronoodle vibin

got the drip coffee, tasted like good normal coffee

Andre

Giant cups of milk masquerading as coffee. The soy was especially bad. It's a sad day when you end up tipping the latte out on the road..

allan mckenzie

The Nice young lady there makes the best sandwiches on Vancouver island

Josh Fry

Best sandwiches in town. Fairly pricey although serving sizes are huge. Staff can often be arrogant, snotty and leave you feeling uncomfortable

Pedro m

The place is nice and clean and the food is very good with good portions I'll be back, the only thing : one of the guys working there need a bit more of customer service , the place will be even better if he start being more polite.

Urs Stoeckli

(Translated) Popped in twice for a quick lunch. One soup with salad and one sandwich. Convincing both times. Above all, the price-performance ratio is great! (Original) Zwei Mal eingekehrt für einen schnellen Lunch. Einmal Suppe mit Salat und einmal Sandwich. Beide Male überzeugend. Vor allem Preis Leistung sind super!

Irish Blue

Amazing.... So fresh, the place to go for the ultimate sandwich, but bring a friend to share it with, they are massive.

Richie Richie

Good spot...lunch was great and coffee was awesome.

Axel Brandt

I had a good sandwitch and a Latte today.

Erika Pollmuller

We popped in for a quick sandwich and soup before an appointment. After 40 min we had to ask for a refund because we hadn't received our sandwich and we were going to be late. However, the soup was good.

Aries Hall

While waiting for my sandwich (which was huge and delicious by the way) they gave me a free soup to try. Also amazing. And the mocha was the perfect blend of chocolate and coffee flavours. Cant recommend enough.

Debbie Christianson

Excellent sandwiches, so huge I always order a half order. Real roast beef, yum! The peach tea is great, too.

Neal Mathew

Got food poisoning. Would not recommend this establishment.

Carey Anderson

People were great. Coffee was great. View was great.

Russell James

Nice place to stop while you're downtown. Fresh food and coffee served by friendly efficient staff.

Ken Carter

My wife and I just had a Denver Sandwich in this Cafe and I can tell you. I have travelled all over the world and I have never had anything that came even close to what they handed us this morning. It was amazing. It's a really good job we decided to split one sandwich because neither of us would have been able to have eaten a whole one each. Friendly guys, great coffee and good food.

Dencope

Awesome menu, awesome service and best of all awesome sandwiches and food. You will not leave hungry or disappointed! All that for a couple bucks more than you'd pay at Subway. Do yourself a favour and support the local guys with fresh local ingredients.

Ibrahim N

Nice stuff

Anay Bhutoria

I went here for a latte, and the server was quite abrupt, his machine had old milk residue all over the steam wand, ewww ( should be cleaned after every drink). when I asked for sugar, he didnt ask for how much, nor did he properly stir the drink. Lastly the latte was not memorable lacked flavor, can’t believe they call themselves a cafe.

Natasha De Toro

Best sandwiches in Campbell River!! ????????

Chelsea Cyr

Seira S.

Hidden gem. They do awesome food with huge portions. Really great breakfast and lunch options not to mention really tasty coffee. I got the Denver Eggxtreme and a cranberry muffin. I can't wait to come back again for some more delicious food.

Freddy

Great coffee and service. Try the homemade cookies!

Leigh S

Yummy!!!

Mike Rigney

The owner is super friendly and made a great food recommendation! The Seaside Eggstreme was huge and delicious... and made with WILD salmon, not that gross farmed crap. Double Americano was fantastic too. Overall great place, great staff, and delicious food! Also, there is now good fast WiFi.

Sean LaFleur

Great portions, good atmosphere and delicious food! Had the Benny it was out of this world!

Maureen Sargent

Fabulous daily special soup!

Doug Waller

Good food, large portions, clubhouse is 3 huge layers that only a wolf or cougar could wrap in it’s jaws, please visit this place and ask for soup, not having soup available for a Friday lunch was a disappointment especially when special signs featured soups

Rae Jewett

Awesome spot on the water in Campbell River. Free 2 hour parking across the street. Easy to eat vegetarian here! I had the vege sandwich and it was massive and very fresh bread. Also had an almond milk latte which was lovely. For sure eat here for any meal and coffee over any of the chains!!

Dave Head

Amazing sandwiches

Tamara Clandening

Excellent service! Great Staff. Best Sandwiches! Highly recommend.

James Moxon

Great service and sandwiches. Their burritos are huge!

Roy Richards

Great food. Sandwich was excellent.

Maegan Thomas

A great place in the heart of downtown. They make a perfect latte, the food is hot, fresh and delicious, and the staff is very friendly!

Dan Splane

Excellent service and turkey sandwich with lettuce to.ato mayonnaise

Eric McConkie

I'd go negative but have to give something. Been 3 times and have yet to be treated nicely. The lack of professionalism and service says it all. As I did today, I'll jus skip lunch

Amy Rutherford

Coffee-no

Nick Murray

Huge servings, good food.

Charlie Picken

Huge sandwiches and great coffee

Debra Clark

Love visiting here once a year when im back for my annual visit ! Brian and his staff are very knowledgeable, take the time to explain and answer your questions and always have something new and inspiring every time i drop in ! Highly recommend a visit !!

Caitlin Mader

Spent a ton of time here because it's a great place. Chose it because of the good coffee, beautiful view of the park and harbor, and good vibes for working or hanging out. Friendly staff put up with me for a month while I camped out writing a master's thesis. Food was good- pricey but portions large.

Janah Earle

Best sandwiches in town. The seafood club is huge and amazing. Great coffee here too.

Laura Higham

Of the three times I have been to this establishment, I have eaten here once. The first time I went I arrived an hour before closing time, and the girl behind rolled her eyes at me and told me they were closing. We left without her saying another word. The 2nd time I was greeted with a blank stare and when I asked about ingredients she didn't have an answer for me. However I got food and enjoyed the taste and quantity. 3rd time today, an hour before the listed close time was told they were closing in a very rude manner by a gentleman. They told me they were out of food. As I work in the restaurant industry I understand it gets busy and things happen, however I do not believe it is necessary to treat paying guests terribly. You should be thankful you have people wanting to come to your restaurant. I guess however and unfortunately seems to be almost the standard in Campbell River.

Best eggs benny ever, thanks!

Thane Nyen

Fantastic sandwiches

Jeremy Hannaford

One of my favorite sandwich joints I've ever been too. Sandwiches seem expensive but honestly, they are totally worth it. Completely, absolutely worth it.

Joshua Virani-Wall

Great ambieance and coffee, solid food

Lorenzo Bonetti

Didn't try the coffee but the food was spectacular. Giant sandwiches stuffed with excellent ingredients at prices that are worth what you get.

jacky markin

Best CR club EVER !

Rob Sander

Awesome place great coffee great food selection definitely check it out

Susan Cunningham

Perfect addition to our morning adventures????❤????

Melissa Ketel

Killer sandwiches and great service to boot. When they ran out of gluten free bread, I walked to a nearby store and brought my own. That's how badly I wanted one of these sandwiches. Worth it.

Neil Featherstone

Great sandwiches but made big enough for two so order one between you.

June Ward

Excellent food and great service!!

michelle307 mstory@telus.net

Sandwiches are way too big. Almost had a heart attack. If you like $15 bagels this is the place for you. Nothing there with regular sized proportions!!

Nicola Bernasconi

Very good food. The chai latte could be more spicy

Dave Van Ryk

Wonderful service and excellent Mocha Latte. Loved it with an extra shot!

Brock Knudsen

Great sandwiches, coffee is also well made, one of the best downtown coffee options.

Stefan Mohr

I'm seriously not a big sandwich guy, but every time I'm in Campbell River I get an egg salad sandwich here and I'm reduced to weeping. Absolutely delicious.

Farrell Dewar

Honestly the only restaurant in Campbell River we keep coming back to and we've tried many. The food is always extremely tasty and the portions are very generous. Staff are the friendliest we've met by far. Please stop by if you are in Campbell River. I have no affiliation with this business whatsoever.

P w

Sandwiches are large and use very fresh ingredients. The wife and I both enjoyed our time at this lovely cafe.

Cheryl Letain

Excellent food, even the croutons were homemade! The Benny was delicious with homemade English muffins hollandaise and farm fresh eggs. Our first visit, and definitely not our last!

Ivy Smith

I had a terrible experience here when I bit into a glittery fake nail which was inside my sandwich. After I notified the counter staff he claimed that it wasn’t his nail and then said it was probably “one of his girls” who left the nail. He offered to remake the sandwich and when I declined he offered to refund only my sandwich. When the debit machine didn’t work to refund he didn’t have change and asked for $10cash for change for a $20 to make the refund for only my sandwich order. When we didn’t have the cash he reluctantly offered the $20 out of the $40 we spent at the place. Me and my group just left our sandwiches on the table not impressed with our experience.

John Mac

Seriously epic sandwiches. Awesome home cooked food, delicious soup. A must visit if you're in the area

John Harris

Excellent friendly service. Best sandwiches anywhere!

Dan Bowes

Rude, unfriendly staff. Would not recommend.

Spencer Van Raamsdonk

Carol Pierce

Roger Barrette

Great food & staff

Vapour Mist

Exceptional sandwich, superb service, and made my day or morning anyway, lots of the day left for adventure, lol

john Harris

Suburb Food. Try the Dagwood sandwich. It the biggest sandwich around!

Andrea Humphreys

Food was really delicious and fresh and they even gave an extra soup that was so good! Staff was super friendly and service was awesome!

Rocko

Absolutely wonderful. Will be going again and again and again.....

Dane Eivindson

Ordered an Iced Americano with vanilla and room for cream. Straight forward enough. Austin accidentally made me a hot Americano. All good, easy fix. When I told him that I ordered an iced one he was unimpressed. He dumped a third of the drink down the sink and scooped ice into the piping hot water, wrecking the ratio. He topped it all the way up, and I had to ask for room for cream again. Another third of the drink goes down the sink. I tried to just roll with it, but the service and product was actually terrible. Went and had him remake it, was still very poor. They serve cold drinks in hot drink cups. They have an unsanitary dishwashing area where soap was not being used. Inexperienced barista that was more concerned with being "cool" than with customer experience. Would not return, or encourage anyone to bother.

Got here at 1025 to try out the raved eggs benny. Was greeted with absolute sass and rudeness. My wife and i ordered the eggs benny and got a blank stare back and felt like we were doing them a disservice. She told the older fella that we ordered two eggs benny and he got upset and said no more breakfast after that which sucks because we came as a party of 4 and they refused to make the other two any breakfast. We ordered 2 peach ice teas and 20 mins later she told us theyre out of peach... Over all the food was good. But the service would make me never come back if i was in canpbell river. Id like to note that the younger tall guy was actually very nice. Too bad they treat him like a slave.

John Boulogne

Wonderful food and staff. Pricey, but the only place open on Sunday for coffee

Thomas Best

The staff are extremely helpful, great menu with all the comfort food options. Looking forward to trying everything they have to offer!

Kayla Rau

Huge breakfast portions, favorite place for breakfast. Sandwiches are also huge. Customer service is the best!

Barbara Giuliany

Sean was so helpful dealing with my food allergies, prepared one of the best meals I've eaten out since the allergies struck. The bread, (which I unfortunately couldn't eat) was made fresh by a local baker and was so good we took a loaf home. Excellent food, delightful staff.

Dean Hourston

Large delicious sandwiches. Excellent coffee

Nathan Somers

Foos was absolutely amazing

David Tyler

Awesome service given. We were up visiting Campbell River and stopped in for lunch. We were treated with kindness and special treatment, as we had our Siberian husky with us. Table outside, water for the dog and the best sandwich ever. A-Class, Thank you shot in the dark

Mark Harvey

I had a shot in the dark and it was tasty. Friendly staff and great location.

Scott Dresler

So yeah... I came in and the lady and gentleman behind the counter could not have been more hostile and moody. When you’re willing to pay upwards of 17 dollars for a sandwich it’s nice to have it served with a smile. We waited outside and when I came back in the lady didn’t even remember me being literally her last customer. I’ve come here every time I visit cambell River and was seriously disappointed. Of course the sandwich was good... but the service was the weirdest, moodiest and quite simply you shouldn’t be opening your restaurant if you are going to act like that. Also... when someone asks for cream in their coffee don’t just slam two individual creamers on a plate and expect them to be like... thank you. Will never eat here again. It was like eating a spite sandwich with a cup of misery beside it.

Troy Gladesdahl

Food would have been better if they didn't microwave the sandwich and the soup. Not a fan of paying for f9ra microwaved meal.

Amy Campbell

great beverages and the food looked AMAZING- huge portions of freshly made sandwiches. I will go back with a larger appetite to someone to share it with!
