I am visiting from Calgary this week and my sister took me to her favourite coffee shop. I had the Morninglory muffin, and a peanut butter square to go. Along with a sit down and an Americano with my sister. All three were absolutely fabulous. The muffin was even better than the tin town muffins. And that is saying something. This will be a place I will look forward to visiting the next time I come to BC.
Recently I was at another espresso place and they treated me badly. It made me appreciate other coffee places in my community that treat customers equally. Ironically, at this new coffee place called Freya, the belgium man mocked me pointing that my accent wasn’t local and mock of me when I asked for service, that doesn’t happen in Mudsharks , the servers are diversity empowering and gentle and understanding to their community, thumbs up for a non toxic environment like Freya !
Overall exprience was great! The atmosphere of the place is very cozy; their food portion is good for the price! I personally liked their mint hibiscus iced tea ❤️ It's our 2nd time and we'll definitely come back! ✨️
The scones here are delightfully flaky and perfectly sweet, a true treat for any palate. The Bulletproof coffee is exceptional, rich and smooth with just the right amount of creaminess. The homey vibe of the place adds to the overall charm, making it a cozy spot to relax and enjoy a beautiful and chilly morning.
The service is great and you can tell that the workers are happy and it's all good vibes here, however the food was not good. We got the Glory bowl and the Mexican bowl. Both were seriously lacking in flavor and under salted. We aren't people who need crazy amounts of salt but it seemed like there was hardly any in it. We had to bring them home and add spices and salt for it to taste good. The quality of the ingredients was good but for the prices we expected much more flavorful vegan food. I'm seeing from some other reviews that it wasn't a one-off issue. If you don't care about flavor or price and are just in it for healthy and fast with good quality ingredients then this is the spot for you! Response to owners response: I'm sure you're able to figure out using the "lowest first" filter for reviews. There are plenty of similar ones you've also replied to. Love how you never take accountability for the unhappy customers! I will be unsurprised when your business shuts down
Great Vegan options! Not just a couple, but a few to choose from. Everything we had, tasted fresh and delicious. Bonus was that they use Parallel 49 coffee, which is my personal favorite. A great little spot if you are visiting or passing through the town.
Love their new location! Super spacious and decor is cute! The dessert prices are very good for the size and the drinks are yummy! I just wish food portions were a little bigger for the price. I had the Moroccan bowl for 17 bucks and my medium chai latte and I was still hungry.. Super tasty though! I got 3 desserts to go and had 1 drink and one bowl in their outside sitting area and it was 40 bucks 🙈 Will go back but probably just for their drinks or a dessert to go.
This is my go-to study spot. The coffee is great and I love their gf muffins (they often have a good coffee and muffin deal on as well). I've also heard nothing but praise for their glory bowls as well, though I have yet to try. I love the atmosphere here and the service is always warm and welcoming.
My favorite coffee shop in Courtenay.
Best quality and affordable quick snacks and goodies! My favorite is their breakfast bite! Food
Great little coffee shop Excellent coffee
Top notch
I found this place very clicky not something that I m used to in the Comox Valley. I didn t get the warm feeling as a place that I believed my whole life. I find mud sharks is a place that I would not recommend to anyone. Matter fact the food was terrible the atmosphere I couldn t stand. I think they should leave the Comox Valley. Kid-friendliness: They are not kid friendly. They re not family friendly. I would not take my family here and I would tell everybody not to.
Friendly service friendly place great company such good vibes
Great service and food! Roomy and comfortable seating. Great suggestions when I was contemplating on what to pick!
Love this cafe it s always my go to spot for coffee in town and it is always so consistently good here, not just the coffee but the service as well. All the food I get is always really good here too and the employees are super nice too and know how to make a good cup of coffee,, I was a barista for 6 years so I am a little bit snobby when it comes to that haha keep doin what ur doin mudsharks ;D
So grateful I came across this on my travels! I got the Avocado wrap and Ice Chai Latte and coffee! Great service and the food was amazing and fresh! Dog friendly patio.
I wanted coffee, they had it. Win-win. Dont believe me? Pic for proof.
ridiculously overpriced. ordered a ham and cheese croissant for $8.50 and it was tiny and sad honestly. should have been worth maybe $3
Fast service, the server patiently answered the questions our group had accurately. Very tasty. Coeliac friendly.
We went here several times when we were visiting from out of town the food and atmosphere was so good. We loved the vegan options and the food was really tasty and fresh. The staff were friendly and we would definitely come back again next time we are in town.
Great coffee and great service. Ive been very happy with this place since Ive come here.
I cant say anything about the food. Drink selection of kambocha is wonderful. Nice selection of coffee drinks. Re reviewing as they improved since the old location. I like the local merchandise incorporated into the decor. I like how they are supporting local vendors.
The cappuccino was lovely which was surprising as I normally don t like parallel 49 coffee. The girl at the front counter was very sweet and smiled when I went in. The food menu looked great with lots of variety. It is not my vibe for atmosphere. A whole bunch of small tables lined up in a row. It s a challenging space as it s long and narrow. Not sure what else they could do except provide big, long tables to share. I sat outside as I didn t like the crowded, close feeling, but the cement and smell was not enjoyable. I m a person who loves being in beauty so style is really important to me, but I don t think it is for most people. And I m just passing through!
Theres a great book called SHARKS! here which Im just realizing was probably a branding choice. The bagel sandwich reminded me of romantic long walks on the beach, while the seating arrangements were a bit strange but great if you wanted to walk by people to quickly shake all of their hands. I love this place.
Great food, service, and atmosphere! The owner and staff are very friendly. My family and I have come back here every time we visit Courtney.
Overpriced. Food took so long that I thought someone else must have taken mine. Tip prompt on debit machine suggests 10-20% tips despite no table service. My Earl Grey tea didnt taste like any Earl Grey Ive ever had, it was weird and not good. The dispenser for the sweetener didnt work so I had to disassemble it to get any. The breakfast bagels tasted ok at least.
Super cool cafe, lovely patio out front with unique table and benches. We shared a glory bowl and bagel with vegan cream cheese and both were delicious. The bagel was hot, clearly fresh out of the toaster and immediately served, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and feed delicious, looking forward to visiting again in the future.
We stop here whenever we visit our daughter in Courtenay. Love the avocado toast and the Muddy Mushroom Latte.
Love the vibe of the shop but was less than amused by how small the almost $9 ham and cheese croissant is. A tad smaller than grocery store bakery croissants which are usually $5/dozen. Dont get me wrong, thr flavour was spot on and drink options wwre plentiful for a fair price. I was just expecting for $9 the size to match the chicken salad croissant they had on display near checkout.
Impressive - I ll go out of my way to return!
Yum. Glory bowl is all I can say as it s all I ve had. But YUM it s good ! You can get the smaller version for about $10 or the larger for $15. I found the smaller to be plenty. Dietary restrictions: The glory bowl is vegan or veg. Parking: Near Library on 6th, plenty of free parking. And free on the street too.
We were excited to try this place based on reviews. But the coffee was very weak and the breaky sandies were tasteless. Nice atmosphere and they seemed busy so maybe we just ran into some bad luck.
Absolutely fabulous service and our coffees were beautiful. Had a great cappuccino (love from Australia) and the iced vanilla latte was lovely! Thank you! <3 Food
Everything at this place is 5 star like the staff. Beautiful people. Luvem to bits. Even the drip coffee is simply a cup of heaven. No. They didnt pay me to post this. This is from my heart thanks. Great place. Great peeps.
At first I was in love with this place, sooo many gluten free vegan options, but they got my order wrong and I asked them to fixed it, then they got my partners wrong as well, and I didnt bother to ask them because the attitude I got back from the ladies at the counter was really disappointing, I even tried to say have a good day and got not even an acknowledgement back... Not usual for me as I love coffee shops and foodie places. I came in with a great attitude and was just met with grumpy faces.. Hopefully this was an off day. Cause this place seems pretty cool Went back in this morning as its one of the only places for gluten and dairy free and was completely the opposite experience felt the need to edit the experience as I hate leaving bad reviews
It was extremely slow, both my drink and food were terrible and overpriced. I threw both away
Such a nice restaurant it was the best for bless our server so kind he gave my friend free meal bcs he forgot her order amazing guy his name is Martelle I hope to see him again also he gave me free refills on my chips amazing place totally recommend this place just bcs of this guy bro also I totally reccomend the Dahl soup witha side of tortilla chips
Trying to find a place that has good coffee, food and atmosphere to study in is difficult! I was clearly set up comfortablly your patio to start writing my paper after ordering a drink and glory bowl to stay, but was asked to move from my seat by daycare workers. Disappointed because I couldnt enjoy my food or drink on the patio, let alone start studying, not sure if I will be back.
Just had a tea. It was good. The seating is pretty close, but its a small place Good atmosphere all around
The owner and staff are all superb !
Delicious !! I had avocado wrap and the carrot bagels + smoothie. Food
The location is awesome and a great place to meet with friends, but the food is so god damn expensive for something really mediocre.
Dietary restrictions: I rally appreciate that not only are there some gluten free sweet treats, but also some sandwiches and larger meal items. Service
Love latte here
I love Mudsharks so much. Their bowls and coffee are really good and I feel like they really have figured out how to run a good cafe here in the valley. The cafe is both a healthy social space for those meeting up with others for coffee or food, but they also have supported space for those of us who work from home. Sometimes it can be really isolating and hard to focus, and I get nervous trying new cafes because sometimes they dont allow laptops (even if it isnt busy). I appreciate Mudsharks for allowing space for us to work here there are a lot of us who really appreciate it.
Edited 24 Dec - Worst breafast sandwich ever. Scone undercooked. Coffee was good, otherwise rating would have been 1 star for food. Aked server to speak to owner, who initially did not come out and insisted on giving a refund through the server. After i persisted the owner did come out and he was very polite and appologetic and offered a full refund. I told him i didnt want one, just to do better job at preparing the food - a soggy mircrowaved bun undercooked bacon and rubbery eggs should not be labelled as a grilled sandwich. Asked him if he could grill the bun instead of reheating in the microwave and fully cook the bacon also asked why the eggs were so rubbery. He stated he would try to do better. I accepted a coffee coupon but probably wont use it. Note: When Iinitially wrote this I was very dissapointed and upset about the food. Wanted to give a more clear picture of the event to be fair to the owner. Also i looked at some other reviews and they do mimic what im saying here. Parking: difficult to find parking busy street.
Friendly staff great food and love the atmosphere. If your looking for a cozy coffee shop and eats definitely check it out.
Ordered take out from skip the dishes last night I ordered the greatful bowl and Dahl soup. The food was cold. The soup was half empty and not the right size very small portion for the cost. It also said it came with pita chips it did not. The bowl I ordered, I ordered with glory sauce did not get the sauce. I couldnt even eat the bowl it had peanuts in it witch I am highly allergic to. The picture of the bowl had cucumbers in it and was loaded with veggies. It did not look anything like the photo. It didnt say what the ingredients were in the description just a photo. Dietary restrictions: Should really say what the ingredients are in this specific bowl. (Peanuts)
Healthy food
My Chai latte was not very hot and taste quite weak. This is the second time I wasnt super stoked about the product I received but I do love the atmosphere.
Went with my mom a few weeks ago and loved the carrot lox bagel. Food was super yummy, and prices were very reasonable. Tried to come by again today around 12:30 to have brunch with my partner, but no tables to be found. It was somewhat frustrating to see over half the space taken up by folks working on their laptops while we couldn t find anywhere to sit and eat. We ended up just leaving. With that said, I do appreciate having cafés that welcome students and people who like to work in that setting. I would just suggest posting a notice asking those working to limit their stay during busy hours.
A nice wonderful Coffee bar with excellent good tasting food and hard working loyal caring staff featuring the 1 and only Geneva. I always stop there a couple times a week and I always have a Chocolatte Chip Cookie and Vegan Bliss Ball which are both extremely dellicious. I always enjoy my experiences at Mudsharks and I am always happy to go there. Hey everybody peace out and have a nice day. Cheers.
Best cafe to have the best day ever
Great place with fast and pleasant service. This is a good place to have breakfast and coffee before skiing
Meh. Expensive. Small London fog. 4.75 in a cup made for a toddler. Smallest cup Ive ever seen. Imagine a large thimble. Pretty ridiculous. Nice atmosphere.
Love me a flat white
Good location. Good people. Friendly service. Great food!
I really enjoy going to mudsharks, they have lots of yummy options for everyone gluten free/dairy free/vegan etc. The atmosphere is also enjoyable. I would just suggest they get a change table for the bathroom, as well as a stool for kids to wash there hands and work on fixing the elevator, however I realize the elevator issue may be the landlords responsibility, I am not sure. I saw a man when I was there one day who was not able to access the Cafe because he was in a wheelchair, he was rightly frustrated.
Love the new location!
Friendly staff, excellent coffee and food. Bowls are highly recommended. Community engaged as well. New spot in town off of 6th.
I hadnt been to Mudsharks since it was in their old location beside Gladstones because I had so many negative experiences there involving one of the male servers. I had heard through the grapevine that this person was recently let go so I decided to finally go back after hearing this news. WOW, not only is the atmosphere exponentially more inviting and happier, the food also tastes better if you can believe it!! What an improvement!
Awesome dog friendly fully covered patio with seating. Great coffee quality too.
New location. Coffee was very good and service was excellent. Quite crowded mid-afternoon with lots of people taking up two seats their computers and gear.
Great spot for a good coffee. Love the atmosphere!
Take out is super quick and eating in is very relaxing. Nice spot just to chill
Second time & still as delicious. The Chai Tea Latte is fresh, tasty & perfect, not like a lot of coffee bars where they seem to make them far too sickly. This time we shared a muffin & the pumpkin cheesecake, can probably say the freshest tasting muffin we have ever eaten & cheesecake was so tasty. Staff are very friendly & helpful, place is clean. As a senior the only thing we found was sound echos slightly so when a lot of people in there, difficult to hear each other talk but could have sat outside because it was a Sunny day. For the quality of drinks & food, definitely value for money & popular which is always a good sign.
Such a sweet place , great coffee and food ! Muffins and soup were amazing Food
The staff is fantastic, such sweethearts. And the environment is really peaceful ... Ate here before their relocation and the food was good and the drinks great! .... but, this time around the food was just so-so The avocado wrap- we literally thought it came with no avocado, thats how little avocado was put into the recipe. The chilli was very watery this time... And there was bacon mixed into the breakfast bowl, when we had requested for it to be on side. The indoor mugs for the small size are not 8 oz mugs either... So order your drink in to go cups I prefer a drink menu that is 12-16-20 whereas its a 8-12-16 here. Just little things.. but at a pretty price tag, little things end up being important.
High quality healthy & diverse food! As two European hikers exploring Vancouver Island Mudshark was the ideal place to staunch our craving for some high quality food especially veg & fiber (after having lived off camping food for days ). Can definitely recommend the Glory Bowls, delicious coffee & fast WiFi.
Had an iced coffee that was great as was the date square. Staff were very good at their job. Outdoor seating was great on a hot day. Paying with a card on their fancy machine was a snap BUT it gets a bit tiring when the machine insinuates a tip is appropriate. (Yes everyone is doing it but I am tired of tipping for everything.)
Bliss balls are blissful!
EDIT: June 2023 ~ this is one of our most fave places to BE! great patio & inside decor, comfy too. Glory Bowl, Grateful Bowl, Brekkie stuff, Hummus Wrap, Avocado Wrap and much more, are delish & healthy, made in house. Scones are to die for (Savory is our fave wow) & also made in house! WoW We eat here (take out & dine in) 2x/ week, we love it. Coffees, Lattes etc are Perfect. Staff is awesome too, super service! Terrific vibes at this gem! TODAY is the BEST day EVER indeed (their theme). Thank U Darryl & Team!!! S&S ~~~~~~~~~~ New location is awesome! Much bigger inside & great patio space out front. Fantastic Service as always & amazing coffees (awesome Barristas!) The Cookies are to die for Highly recommend
What a great place for delicious food. As a Vegan it can be a challenge to find a place that works out but Mudsharks has quite a few options on the main menu as well as in the treats. Both my Mom and I were blown away at how amazing the food was on the fronts of the main meal and dessert. Also the staff were absolutely fantastic at making sure we got the info needed to make the Vegan meal amazing. Bravo!! We ll be back again for sure the next time we get out to Courtenay.
Excellent bowl.
Delicious food and drinks, great surfer atmosphere, and really friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Nice cozy place! Coffee is really good!
Really nice staff and great food!
Nice atmosphere and appears well visited and liked by customers. Food on my order had plenty to be desired for my taste (for your taste it may be fine): the savory scone is not baked properly, it was almost uncooked in the middle. The amount of black pepper is so much it is actually spicy and if that is the idea it should be advertised as such to help people who cannot handle spicy meals. The Avocado toast on a ciabata bun is actually not even the entire bun and aside of the little salad on the side and the sauce, the sandwich has nothing else on it. I may come again for coffee or other drink only.
My go-to for coffee in the valley. They also have excellent food and baked goods. Open well before the other coffee shops and well after the others close. Highly recommend!
Great tasting coffee and cookies. Servers were lovely and polite
Amazing Vegan bagel Lox and those bliss balls OMG, Best ever!!!
Take your worst coffee experience and multiply it by 10. Its just really bad coffee.
Too many wonderful things to say and not enough room in the post. Polite, friendly, positive and empathetic staff who go the extra mile. Food was wonderful and healthy and nourishing. Superb experience. Again, cant say enough.
Great food, coffee, service and great atmosphere.
Muddy sharks! Nobody like Mud sharks Coffee Bar puts mud in your eye and a sproing in your flipper so you can Swim with the sharks.
Tomato? Spinach? Cajun spice? Tough ciabatta, soggy bacon and no flavour. I think this is taking food cost too far, especially with raised prices.
Love this little cafe! Friendly staff and atmosphere
Very nice atmosphere and service personnel.
Ok, I purposely went there because of reviews and people talking about Glory Bowl ! Yup, I wasnt disappointed,very tasty, the sauce is wonderful..coffee was great so was the morning glory gluten-free muffin.
It was ok no real customer interaction though. Just tried it again service was a bit better but product was not. Not going back for a 3rd time.
I absolutely felt the need to mention that Mudsharks Is Hands down the best coffee Bar/cafe I have been too, not only is the quality of their food/beverages above and beyond what i have had from previous places but their entire staff are always friendly and always a pleasure to deal with. I am a brand loyalty based person and will hands down be making this my go to spot. I recommend you do the same, I cant rave enough about the staff from the ladies behind the counter for their Positive demeanour and efficiency in order fulfilment. To the gentlemen in the kitchen always having my orders out in minutes with zero effect on the quality and always served with a smile. A Big Thank You To Team Mudsharks.
love the food
The best
Great coffee and food.
Great place to have a coffee or more...
Delicious and nutritious bowls and soups that were great for us for a lunch sans gluten, dairy and egg! Brought our little one and it was a friendly atmosphere.
how good is your wifi
Awesome place, the smoked salmon Panini was delicious, great vibe there
Great little shop with gluten free and vegan treats to enjoy, delicious coffee, coffee products to buy, and a cute eclectic and beachy environment. Would recommend, and would go back again! It s in a nice area of town to walk down to some shops with your coffee too, and there is some good, covered outdoor seating.
The best place up island for pretty much anything. THE DAHL IS SO GOOD ILL DRIVE ALL THE WAY FROM VIC TO HAVE SOME. super friendly staff, very lovely patio. Such a treat!
Great service. Yummy drinks and lunch.
There chai latte is super delicious very nice, staff, beautiful outdoor fireplace table
Good food
Their matcha latte tasted like dishwater. Also no raw sugar or honey made available.
Super friendly staff, delicious food, yummy coffee. I felt the tables were a tad squished together. But over-all great environment & really cool aesthetic!
Good coffee
Love it
This place has taken a serious nose dive in the last 6 months. Prices, customer service and food quality. I ve been coming to this place on and off for years. But in the last six months to a year this place has crashed and burned. Recently I went for coffee and food and the food looked like it was microwaved from yesterday. $8+ for americano misto. Enough said.
Always great Service is wonderful...cookies, delicious
Maybe a good thing we got kicked out of Cappuccino Grande. Down the street is Mudsharks. Large menu of food and drinks, case stuffed with bakery items. Breakfast bowls looked interesting. First time ordering an Americano but, my friend says its good. Large outdoor patio shared with another restaurant. Staff is polite. Id definitely come here again but, moving on north tomorrow. Ignore the owner of Cappuccino Grande, Comox/Courtenay is great. Everyone in this town is polite.
Great coffee, friendly staff and kid friendly brought my twin 3 year olds no problem
Our order was sitting getting cold for 10 minutes before the server clued in that we were waiting for it. Paid $13 for a tiny bowl of cold rice with a spoonful of chilli.
The best breakfast we ve had in a cafe for ages. Highly recommend this place. Awesome menu selection & a really cool vibe. We will definitely be back.
Amazing Coffee, Food and Human!!
Cute space, friendly staff.
Best coffee ever had in the valley Shoutout to the Amazing staff
Amazing flavoured latte.
Excellent breakfasts and great coffee.
Great beach vibe cafe; enjoyed the Hot Turmeric Elixir, quite strong, glad there are options if not having coffee. Definitely will be back when we are in the area!
We love, love, LOVE Mudsharks! Great coffee and amazing food. Their pumpkin cheesecake bar is a MUST TRY!
New place looks great with new fresh vibes. Loved the service and coffee as usual. The new furniture is comfortable. I especially enjoyed sitting the small sacove by the front window. Ill be back soon. :)
Great food and drinks, though as of July 2022 it seems to be closed due to building code violations.
Good
This place gives Vegan cuisine a bad name. We are eating plant based for years and $44 should buy you more than a bow of rice calling themselves a Mexican bowl and a bowl of spinach calling themselves something else ambitious. No variety, no spices, no flavour. What a joke, avoid them at all cost!
Third time I have had the glory bowl.Very disappointed in this one.Previous times I had plenty of rice and yams.This time I got enough rice for a two year old and same amount of yams.I really wanted it to be better than this very disappointing when I finally go out for lunch I get this
Always great food and drinks at Mudsharks! Their new location is different than the previous one but the great vibe remains. Keep it up!
Friendly staff, really good with kids. Lots of seating, and good thing because it seems very popular. Also Matthew is rad.
Nice little place. Recommended. Good selection, since is nice.
Great food and service. I had a nice espresso and there are plenty of food options and whole bean coffee/accessories available. Thanks!
Glory Bowl n Suprise bowl amazing!
Great coffee, food and atmosphere
Literally my favorite place in Courtenay. Really amazing fresh food, great options for gluten free and vegan and all of that for a really fair price. The people there are so nice, I never have to wait long and the location is perfect to meet friends! All in all a place that makes you feel welcome and happy :)
The bowls are terrible, very small servings and tasted bad. The service was great though.
Amazing food!! We had a glory bowl and a moroccan bowl. The moroccan bowl had a spicy tasty daal and chicken. The glory bowl was fully vegetarian and had a very unique taste to it. The veggies were fresh and just went really well together! The sauce just gave an amazing unique taste/feel to the entire bowl. Would recommend.
We met a couple from Edm there & had a nice visit sharing some of lifes journey.
Good coffee Stop!
Love this coffee shop. Excellent coffee, good wholesome vegetarian food options, great vibe. We visit often!
Lovely experience and amazing coffee!
Nice place and staff were pleasant when ordering. More than willing to try another time as it was my first time but the overall visit wasn t very good. I ordered the Muddy breakfast bowl and it came out quite quickly which was good, though I don t think I ve been served such a dry meal in a restaurant before kind of the equivalent of eating dry toast. The staff didn t understand what I was trying to say when I brought it to their attention so I just brought my food back to the counter and left not a word said by any of them even after I d already paid AND tipped.
Amazing food! Super kind staff. Adorable spot
Friendly staff Decently trained Baristas Decent selection of baked goods and the like Excellent atmosphere with a good flow to it (Nice reno guys) Prices on par with most coffee shops
Excellent!!!
Had the Cajun chicken sandwich, it was so so flavourful and delicious. The gang had the glory bowl and the Mexican bowl and everybody was very pleased. I will absolutely be back next time Im in the area.
Been a regular for years, staff are friendly and easy going, and theres a variety of milk alternatives for your drinks to fit a range of dietary restrictions and taste preferences.
Cute spot! Good service, very covid compliant. Ive heard good things about the food but havent tried many options.
Ive been working my way through the menu of this little local gem! I love all of vegan items! The portions are great, the online ordering system easy and efficient, and the Covid-19 friend pick up is appreciated... Oh and its delicious!!
Banana buzz smoothie! Hokidinah! So smooth and espresso-y.
Delicious vegan meatballs and spaghetti. Great coffee as always..
Good coffee, non-dairy milks available, some vegan food menu items. Enjoyed my decaf oatmilk latte and vegan Reuben sandwich. (I didnt linger inside, not being entirely comfortable with the lack of ventilation and maskless patrons speaking loudly.)
I love the atmosphere, the staff are great, prices are good, love the new outdoor area with the fire in the middle of the picnic tabel. But I didnt enjoy the drink that I ordered an acquired taste I think, and didnt have the courage to say anything.
Food is ok but the vegan burger is not a burger and the smoothies are actually milkshakes.
Mudsharks is my favourite monthly hangout spot with my friends. The new patio set up is great and the chai latte with oat milk is my favorite. Highly recommend
Awesome service, lots or patio space and an amazing menu!
Tasty vegan options and lovely bright patio!
Excellent staff, great coffee.
Terrible watered down coffee. Awkward judgey baristas. Made me wanna walk out as soon as I walked in. Very expensive for so called specialty coffees that taste like water
We ordered the bowls for takeout and we both loved them! We had the Glory and the Moroccan.
Staff were extremely friendly, never felt out of place (idk much about coffee) but I know this place is on another level, they deserve all praise and business. Ill be grabbing coffee here again! Food and coffee quality excellent btw.
Always has been a good place
Great location. Friendly staff and the coffee is good. Outside patio is the place to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
Great food and atmosphere. Lively patio. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend it!
Great outdoor seating area.
Disappointing follow-up visit to Mudsharks - a pity because I can tell that theyre trying to make it work. Coffee was lukewarm, not enough cream supplied for two coffees, so when I asked for two jugs of cream, I literally got two jugs each with a tiny shot of cream! My wifes dish required salt but even when I went back in and requested some salt, I was told that they didnt have any! My bagel with jam had one tiny plastic pack of jam, not enough for a full bagel. We probably wouldnt rush back there but may return to see if there are any improvements. Definitely disappointing!
Friendly and efficient staff. Love the outdoor patio. The salad was delicious but I found the breakfast pizza just mediocre. Not as good as the rest of the menu. But worth trying.
Always good there have awesome food and coffee great customer service
Although Ive never had the coffees here, I often get varieties of the delicious bowls they offer. Glory and the Moroccan bowls are my favorite so far. So delicious. Without the need to get into great detail, I can assure a visit will not disappoint. The staff is warm, welcoming and friendly. The unique and comfortable atmosphere inside will certainly have you enjoying your visit.
The breakfast avocado wrap was delish!
Shares a patio (kinda) with Gladstone Brewing. Food is tasty. Patio is great.
This is the best cafe I ve ever been to! Beautiful atmosphere, incredible food, and the staff are wonderful (especially Montana & Gracie)! Wish we had a Mudsharks where I live!!
Had an early breakfast there yesterday morning with my friend. I had a latte, and I have to say it was a very good latte indeed! My friend and I had the avocado breakfast wrap. It was good, although on the Bland Side, could have used a sauce of some sort although it did come with a side of a tomato type of salsa, which I dont really feel added to it. It actually tasted like it came out of a can or jar. Im actually hoping it came out of a can or jar as I would feel as though I might be offending mudsharks if I found out that the tomato salsa is homemade. If thats the case they need to do a bit of work on it... all in all great coffee and a decent breakfast for a good price, especially if you get there before 9 a.m. as it was 50% off the meals.
Good Vegan options
Nice place but don t take decaf or americano white. Ordered two large drip coffee, one decaf and one regular. When paying , I realized i was charged 9.01cad and was told decaf is an americano. When tasting the decaf , it was so bitter and weak we asked to change to regular, unfortunately they brought another americano and it was really weak. Likely they only put one shot of coffee. For 9cad, it felt really frustrating to have bad coffee. At least the drip was good but it left us with a bitter taste literally and physically .
Friendly service, great food at reasonable prices and a large outdoor seating area with a cool vibe.
I had the Buddha Bowl, and while it was delicious, I have a suggestion that I think would make it a 5 star, and I hope you agree. Have you thought of putting a sauce or dressing on it? It would elevate the flavor, in my opinion. I hope you at least think about my suggestion. Other than that, love the atmosphere & coffee and will return. And hopefully, you have given my suggestions some thought.
Very tasty mocha and hot chocolate. Really dug the energy ball too!
First off coffee is fantastic. The brew 49th Parallel coffee and it is great. The staff is very friendly and the service is great. Wonderful outdoor siting area.
Best breakfast sandwich ever. We were visiting the area and I drove back the second day just to buy again for our breakfast. Apparently its the chefs great grandmothers recipe. Great coffee and other fabulous looking baked goods all made in-house too. Def. worth the stop.
Love their beautiful patio (it s dog friendly!) and they have good vegan options
Totally forgot to take the photo. It is a must visit coffee place for great selection of breakfast and lunch or even a pastry treats (besides coffee). Staff were super friendly and attentive. Their merchandise were super cute so we can t help to pick up at shirt when having lunch We had breakfast bagel , breakfast wrap, ham and Swiss croissant, veggie chili, iced latte, and m&m cookie there and everything were awesome! Big patio to enjoy your coffee and food in
Because we are camping in the area we need places to eat where we can bring the dogs. If the food is healthy so much the better. Food was hot and tasty and served very quickly. We will likely be back again before we head for home.
If you like really strong thick coffee, then this is the place for you. However I am not a fan and sadly that was the best part of our breakfast! I do not for the life of me know how this place gets 4.5 stars!!! We ordered the breakfast bowls and they were disgusting! Not much food, but the eggs were literally like rubber!! I have no idea how one even gets eggs to go like that! Completely inedible. And what we did eat, made both my wife and I have horrible stomach cramping for about half an hour! Dont do it!
Decent lattes and coffee. Muffins were fairly greasy, and they ask diners to clear their own tables after dining - a pet peeve of mine, since it means no one ever gets around to cleaning the tables between visitors. Cute place, good people watching.
Was OK, but expensive
I came back after years of living out of town and mudsharks has only expanded since Ive gone but still bring the same great quality and delicious treats theyve always had. I enjoy the atmosphere that they provide!
Nice environment for a meal.Enjoyed my meal while listening to a guitarist playing some nice tunes.. Met a gf there for lunch and we had a enjoyable experience..
Friendly service, great chai latte, and loved the vibe in there. A mix of people coming and going or staying for a bit.
Came by for brunch the other day. The breakfast bowl was yummy!
This place doesnt appear to enforce the mask mandate. Good food though! I had the banana buzz smoothie and a bagel breakfast sandwich and both were great. I realize that its challenging to make the employees at small coffee shops and restaurants enforce new rules so I sympathize with them but also its kind of annoying seeing people walk in an order or go to the bathroom without a mask on.
Great treed outdoor space.
Lovely vegan options. Great staff. Really good coffee.
These folks make a legit matcha late.
The staff here are always helpful and are friendly
Great place. Had breakfast and lunch while I was in town. Was not the biggest fan of the nachos but the the coffee and the avocado egg wrap was great.
good coffee and breakfast muffin
Amazing atmosphere, and staff are genuinely charming, and coffee is amazing as usual! Fire pit is lit for this snowy day as well!
I love this place! They really know their coffee, know how to make it, and they use well roasted and well sourced beans. Nice people too.
Convenient coffee shop using 49th parallel beans and a ton of food and baked options including vegan and breakfast. Carrot lox bagel is a hit and the outdoor seating area with a fire is also great! Mocha was delicious!
