Serious Coffee Vancouver Island Conference Centre — Restaurant in Nanaimo

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...

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...

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...
