The Bee's Knees Cafe - Nanaimo

A great cafe with a cute patio. We ordered a blueberry lemon muffin fresh out of the oven and a cinnamon bun. Both of them were divine! I also ordered a flat white and it was good. But definitely the baked goods are worth a try.

The food as always was delicious. The staff was polite but not friendly. The quantity was shockingly small for the money charged including the 15% tip I gave for no table service. My wife and I ordered the veggie bowl with tofu and my wife declined the tofu and I said I would take her tofu portion. I received 8 small cubes of tofu and the polite staff said that was double. You have to be kidding, 4 small cubes would be a full portion. This is either not true or it only emphasizes the small portions served for top prices. I went home and had a sandwich. I have been a big fan over the years but this was very disappointing to see such a miserly serving for nearly $18.00 with tip and tax. I was not at all satiated when I departed.

We stopped by here on a whim and they did not disappoint. The coffee was great and they have other amazing drinks as well. They make their chai in house and the rose chai was delicious, just be warned it does not come sweetened unless asked for. Their pastries were also good, especially their banana chocolate chip muffin. The service was also incredibly pleasant!

Homestyle food in a cozy, colorful atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The menu is unique, featuring west coast food with a Persian flare. I aspire to become a regular!

Here for the first time, being from out of province. Morning sun with plenty of windows, very yummy scones and cinnamon buns with super cream cheese icing, good coffee and friendly vibes made a great visit. Love that they are closed on Sundays. So, 4th and last visit here now a photo. Gonna miss this place! May the Bees Knees prosper on Third Street!
