The Island Grind Coffee & Tea — Restaurant in Campbell River

Beautiful inside, nice atmosphere. The table layout could be a lot better. I feel it lacks the number of seats it should have for such a large, open space, and this is backed up by the fact that there's nowhere to sit almost every time I've been there. Big huge slab tables with a very limited amount of chairs. They have an unnecessarily large cream & sugar table for the customers situated in the middle-right of the room, and it takes up prime seating territory. It's gotta be at least 6 feet long. A giant long slab table for a couple of creamer vessels and sugar canisters is a little much. A smaller station would be better along a wall where it wouldn't take up as much floor space. I just feel the space could be better arranged to maximize seat space. I was meeting a family member there for coffee every Saturday late morning, but we stopped going because we can never find a spot to sit down together, especially this time of year when the patio is closed.

I've only ever tried their steamers, and they are very good, but I need to remember to ask the barista to be very light with the syrup. I think they normally put at least 6 pumps in, but I find that far too sweet. I also wish they had a wider choice of syrups (PS: please...

I absolutely love this establishment. I work right beside the island grind, and i remember when they were putting it in i was so excited for coffee lol . Every single experience ive had there has been amazing, i have a much better experience here than i do at ANY coffee shop in town. Im pretty sure most of them know me by name lol and know my drink of choice. One time a girl from work bought coffees and they knew the one drink she got was mine without me being there so they added the cinnamon on top that i LOVE. Bottom line, my favourite coffee shop, and the owner and managers there are so good with their customers, they genuinely care about them and you can feel it the second you walk in. If you want fantastic customer service & a great cup of coffee or a meal that tastes home cooked...go to...

Stopped here from Nanaimo on the way to our daughter’s hockey game. We just wanted a snack and this was an excellent choice. The muffins were excellent and the cinnamon bun was delicious. The coffees we ordered were very good. We bought veggie sandwich to eat later because it looked so good. The place was packed. Quick service and a great atmosphere. The food was all homemade and looked very good. Glad we stoped here instead of the regular chain coffee place. Will definitely stop here anytime we are in the area. The prices are a tad high, but I understand with the price of groceries lately, and it was worth every penny. Lots of vegetarian...
