Wonderful place if you have allergies. I'm gluten, egg, dairy free and got my chai latte and kimchi salad to go, with a smile. Thank you Gabriel's Cafe. Love all the eco friendly packaging, cutlery and sauce cups. Thanks for being so eco friendly.

We found a great brunch spot before starting our trip! We were in Nanaimo looking for a nice brunch spot before starting our Vancouver Island road trip, and Gabriel’s Gourmet Cafe really hit the spot! We liked how easy the ordering system was. You pick up a menu, choose a table, decide what you want, and then order and pay at the counter. They give you a number, and they bring your food and drinks to your table. It’s straightforward. The fresh, local ingredients stood out, and we would recommend this place if you want a tasty and filling meal. The portions were just right for our big appetites. The atmosphere was so relaxed we almost wanted to stay longer. 🚗🌲 We’d recommend starting the Nanaimo road trip here. 📝📝 Food: 🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳 Must Try!
