What User doesn't like about Owl's Nest Bakery and Bistro:
Great breakfast and break spot in Chemainus. Lunch options are limited but interesting takes on Eggs Benny. Friendly service and it is busy at noon time so arrive early. View all feedback. What User likes about Owl's Nest Bakery and Bistro:
It was my birthday and we wanted a quiet place for lunch before going to the theater. This looked like a good choice and it worked out well. They were busy so the food took a while but we had a seat outside in the quaint little lane. We had a cider but not sure if any other alcohol is available. The food was good, the service friendly and the theater virtually next door. We will come again next time we are here. View all feedback.

I love this place. Easily my favorite mid-island breakfast/brunch restaurant. The cappuccinos are great and the food has that tasty home cooked vibe.
