Coyote Coffee Roastery — Restaurant in Parksville

May 12, 2025 I'll be visiting my sister who lives in Nanoose Bay next month, June 15-26. I'll be stopping in for my beans to return home, Cornwall Ontario, with. Read up on new roasts before my visit to buy along with many of my favorites. See You Soon :)

Jan 2021. Had new coffee sent to me prior to Christmas by my sister. One of the pkgs was the new Ethiopian Tomme. This new blend was so good yesterday I ordered 3 more pkgs. Maui Dark Roast is another excellent blend. When pandemic is over I am sure to be flying out to Nanoose Bay to visit my sister and stock up on more coffee. Thank goodness I can order online.

Every time I am on Vancouver Island visiting with my sister (I live in Ontario) I stop and load up on Coyote Coffee beans. Recently picked up; Mexican Red Honey Fair Trade Organic Coffee. WOW WOW WOW and excellent full bodied coffee. No bitter after taste. Chocolate notes. Will it become part of your product line? Do you still have some for sale? It...

The woman at the counter taking our order was incredibly sweet, kind, and helpful - a real gem. Unfortunately, the experience was soured by what happened next.

We ordered two coffees, one of which was supposed to be decaf, but we forgot to specify. When we realized and asked for the decaf instead, the person making drinks in the back insisted we had to pay for the replacement. We didn’t want three coffees, just the two, and it was made very clear to us that it was “our mistake.”

Technically, yes, we forgot to ask for decaf. But coffee costs them pennies, and in hospitality, gestures matter. Covering a simple swap would have shown goodwill and left us with a great impression. Instead, we left feeling nickel-and-dimed.

It’s a shame, because the person at the counter was wonderful, but the attitude from the back completely undercut...

Very pleasantly surprised!! We'd stopped into Serious Coffee across the street, and the baristas were very poorly trained and extraordinarily ignorant. So we searched in Google Maps for an alternative and decided to try Coyote. We're so glad we did!! 49th Parallel and JJ Bean are our usual spots, and I brew Coava at home. Coyote's espresso is on par with the former two. And the barista knew what she was doing! The milk's foam density was steamed to perfection with beautiful latte art. The manager, Carolyn, was also very attentive, warm, and hospitable. All-around it was an excellent, surprising experience. Next time we're in the area, we know where we'll be stopping...
