Very good pricing, great staff and the cafe has the best restaurant grade food and the biggest proportions I've ever seen. Absolutely my favorite place to eat. If there was one place I would recommend to eat at, it would absolutely be this place 100%
Few changes with the new owners, but the food is just as delicious! Keep giving this business your local support, they’re going to make it!
Excellent food and service every time. Excellent portions and daily specials as well.
Half of the product is expired and reduced by 20%. Even with the 20% discount, these expired items are still more expensive than if you were to drive a few minutes down the road to a grocery store. EVERYTHING is extremely over priced, especially the junk they purchased from Temu or Wish, which is marked up by 1000%, and they didn't even bother to take it out of the packaging.
On Saturday, September 7th, I visited the store to pick up a few things for supper. I found everything I wanted plus a few delicious extra items. I had several lovely interactions with staff, but the best experience was with the fish market. Two very nice and friendly people assisted me. They helped me pick out some lovely fish and then bagged in a bag of ice to keep it fresh!! Brilliant idea!! I wish more stores that sold fish would do this. The fish was perfect and my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner from all the things I had purchased. Excellent store, amazing staff and an awesome variety of products!!
Great small store everything you could need in a pinch. Fabulous deli and fresh made food with nice cafe tables to enjoy your purchase, just don't look for an assortment of vegetables or very good meat selection, my steaks were ordinary at best but I knew that going in.
Used to be amazing but now theres barely any stock, coolers broken display lights not working. In my opinion the little management details are suddenly being overlooked. Staff are friendly
This store has gone soooo down hill since the new owners took over. Such a shame!! Product quality has gone down and so has the customer service. Other than the restaurant and deli. Used to be the best little family run store and now I dread going in there
A lovely little surprise in-between Courtenay and Campbell River. It has everything one might need.
A great place to stop for a snack. Very convenient location.
This is a great grocery store with their fresh produce and wonderful deli counter. And no self check outs to be found, just lovely customer service.
Awful since new owners took over. Expired food, terrible customer service. Trying to turn it into your temu corner store. Avoid
Burnt food and overpriced groceries.
We ordered two bacon cheddar burgers and they were inedible, the bacon and the burger were both burnt to a crisp, and then the diner wouldn t even pick up the phone.
Exactly what was expected for a supermarket
The best breakfast! Really nice place. Great service
Not a lot of plant-based options. Nothing on the cafes menu was vegan that I could see.
The worst service ever. Sat for 30 minutes without being acknowledged. Left without being served. Not going back.
Completely Insane prices on grocery. But theres often local items that are worth the price
Its fun to shoo there
Country Market is a local favorite for convenient food shopping, homemade foods for sale, or take out or sit-down service.
Super cute with a 25¢ mechanical horse that will entertain the kids for hours Highly recommend
Good ice cream
Good breakfast
Has all the essentials. Always a decent hot lunch selection. Ice cream is bomb. Great small grocery store with ready to go food options.
Excellent stop for a meal while traveling up or down island and has all the essentials you will need if you forgot anything for your trip
WoW always GREAT service from the staff & the restaurant food (made to order off menu) is Delish!!! Fast & Friendly Service, Store has good selection of products too. Love this Spot, the Chicken Bacon Club is Amazing! BEST onion rings I have had in many years, well worth the $3 upcharge. Their burgers are Awesome too, our fave! Highly Recommend, if in a rush, call your order in advance, it will be ready for pickup.
Great place! Got 3 different sandwiches at the deli, and they were so good!
Love it
Found my new breakfast place! Big breakfast, and all the ingredients are local. That double smoked bacon was to die for!
Stopped in today on my way home. What a great little store.
Surprisingly big inside. Cashier was friendly
Better produce prices than other local grocery stores. Great selection of local goods.
Nice looking market. Food looked nice and fresh, however I found it very pricy as compared to other supermarkets.
Best made to order sandwiches ever.
Really great food and service. Soups could use more love though.
Was disappointed to be kicked out of the store at 7pm when the hours stated until 8, understandable to be closing but please update your hours.
Delicious food and awesome customer service. We enjoy treating ourselves to take out here when we can.
Cute fresh local market with cafe
Lovely store but the staff didnt seem to be enjoying their day.
Great options for fresh made foods!! The pot pies are delicious! Quality grocery products always. The kids love to stop for ice cream on hot days!!
A full service diner-style restaurant in a small grocery market - love it. Veggie Eggs Benny were delicious and rich. Coffee is good and service is great. About $22 a person for a big breakfast with coffee.
Had breakfast here. Small place but was packed. Had to sit outside on picnic table. All good. While hauling my takeout containers outside I lost a ketchup right in the doorway. Splat.. kid operating the till on grocery checkout spots me and says dont worry about that, Ill get it. I was impressed.
Reasonable prices and good food
We had such a great breakfast there and its a nice little farm market
The fish and chips (Wednesdays only) were great!
Couldnt find the famous beef jerky. Lots of fried foods and sugary treats. Not a farm market.
Divine muffins :) will be returning on our way back!
Very nice place to shop, really, its the people, I feel like a local when I shop here
Great little cafe. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back.
This store has the best deli/ restaurant. Their sausage rolls and take out sandwiches are freshly made and delicious. Theyve got weekly dinner specials to eat in or to take home. Staff are friendly and quick to serve you.
Awesome pepperoni and cafe has really good food.
Always a pleasure to shop here! Great selection of Handmade baked goods and fresh local produce. Staff are always friendly and make a person feel like an individual and not just another number to be rushed through the cashier. Way to go Courtenay Country Market. Keep up the great service
Had a delicious traditional breakfast here. Very hearty and tasty. The service was outstanding as well. Everyone is so friendly.
The name says it all, plus a great restaurant and good selection of groceries! Worth checking out.
I do love this market, and I would love to shop here more regularly, but the prices are so high, I mean food already costs and arm and a leg but here you need a loan to buy most items lol I wonder why there is such a big price difference from the grocery stores to the market. For example, a can of whip cream at the grocery store is around $5. Here, it is $8. Many things are $3 to $5 more than going into town. The restaurant is amazing. The workers are friendly. It is my favorite place to shop, but I only go when I need a couple of things bcuz I am thrifty.
Great food, but terrible management. They treat their workers horribly.
Nice & countryfied feeling, good seating & a variety of goods to choose from, for dining in as well.
Had a great breakfast in Cafe
Comfort food that doesnt leave you disappointed.
Amazing breakfast and dinner you have to try the dinner specials every meal there is amazing
Great place staff and selection but very expensive on par with a gas station
Great service and good food.
Ok
They serve an all day breakfast and my favourite is their vegetarian Benny. Two sides come with it and if you like home fried potatoes then make them your number one choice. A very good size portion and tasty. Then theres the market to browse through before you head out the door. Great place!
We came here to look for something specific but we did not find it. We left without purchasing anything
Double smoked farmers sausage is worth the stop. They also carry good Polish jarred vegetables
This is a great place! Amazing Jerky, when I am in town I come for the deli meats. Keep it up and dont change a thing! A+++
Great little market. They have the best poutine
Always such cheery people here The sausage rolls are fabulous
The real go-to reason to stop in is their homemade take away food. Friendly service too. Very satisfying indeed!
This is a very nice place and the food in the deli is delicious ! Good size servings as well and not too expensive. Lots of parking, easy accessibility and a good selection of items to purchase. Definitely recommended to stop in and see all they have to offer.
Food is always delicious, ice cream is yummy too.
Great place to buy almost all house hold , food and meat products.

Great food, great prices, great people!
Pretty Hype
Nice local store near by
Love the sandwich bar, I can put on as much sauce as I want, tons of toppings and meat. Produce is amazing with great pricing. Great layout that is inviting. Welcome to the Valley. I found my new Go To store
Awesome country market! I loved the vendor out front, selling wooden utensils, the clerk who struck up a friendly conversation in the meat department, the courtesy of the check out clerk. Great selection, great location!
Nice deli. Grocery selection is good for a small market. Clean, nice little store
Lovely place. Great staff. Delicious food. Best pepperoni around
Awesome sausage rolls.
Stopped in here while on a bike ride. Had a amazing chicken pot pie and a delicious churro muffin. It was inexpensive and very filling. Its a great store.
Very clean and fresh baked bread, daily! The icecream flavors and large portions will definitely bring us back!
Love it. Great deep fried food Mmmmm. Good prices and some items that are hard to find in the valley.
Super cute, but not a lot of produce
Love the hot counter - food is always good and the staff very courteous and friendly
Loved it
Awesome little market, a little pricey, but to be expected outside the city.
I had a very tasty bacon and eggs breakfast with crispy pan fried potatoes and a fruit salad.
Great place for food and groceries
Great little grocery store with a wonderful deli and home cooked food .
Very nice urban food store great lunch and sandwiches

Brekky sandwich is good
Local specialty meats and unique grocery selection as well as cafe. Covid conscious but friendly.
Little bit of everything, bakery is nice and the over all selection is sufficient, without the bustle of the big chain stores
Expensive and nobody ever answers the phone.
I was just there and need a cab ,and ladies there were more then happy to help
Edit* they forgot to put my Cesar salad in the bag :(.. Hungry. Heartbroken at first!... beef dip was delish tho.
Lots of Vancouver Island foods and products. Support local, great selection.
Quaint little grocery store
Their cafe is open for takeout and makes the most spectacular breakfasts! But all their meals are great- good prices, homestyle cooking, large portions.
Very friendly, helpful staff with shopping and great dining. What more can you ask for?
Very friendly,food was delicious
Love the Country Market! Really good food if youre looking for a quick bite. Their meat is amazing quality and I always bring home a couple packages of their bones for my dog.
awesome grocery store and amazing diner!! the food is so affordable and the portions are huge! everything ive tried is delicious, highly recommend.

Welcoming
Love this place fresh and better food, price reflects this but worth it
My local grocery store and it and all staff are amazing!!
Their food is awesome!! Would recommend if your passing by. Pop in and get a bite to eat. You wont be disappointed.
Lovely market .. Some hot deli choices .. Pizza, fried chicken .. The bison sausage was fantastic .. All your grocery needs
OK, some people think a sausage roll is just a sausage roll, but theyre wrong! The curry sausage rolls at the Courtenay Country Market are to die for! And they are unique, havent come across them anywhere else. The pastry is crispy and flaky, I think this is where the curry flavour is hidden, and the sausage filling is the best Ive had, juicy, not too spiced, just great pork sausage. And so I dont forget, they smoke all their own sausage, their pepperoni is wonderful and their garlic sausage, ah... their garlic sausage is also a favourite. Definitely worth a trip, they are just north of Courtenay, across from the golf course. We live in Chemainus now but stop in every time we are back in the Comox Valley. No picture because we ate them all, sorry.
Great homemade food in the resteraunt . Best sausage rolls ever.
Good food

They need more outdoor Covid seating for their restaurant, but otherwise breakfast was good.
