Tiramisu was better than what I had in Italy! The art is all very cute. The burger was delicious and a huge drink selection. The owner is friendly. Overall a great place.

Never order the glass noodle again. Three of us had it and all think it’s bad. Panini was standard. We came at a non-busy time so it’s easy to find parking. We ordered take out and staff asked us to wait outside even the restaurant inside isn’t busy at all. We went in once after 15 mins and ask about our order. Didn’t get an answer but was asked to wait outside again. Very rude and unnecessary. Drinks are too sweet and fries order is very small. Overall we are very disappointed.

Lovely to get food after a lovely from the beach. The food is well made and tasty. The place is well decorated and clean. Space can be small but has a cozy feel to it. Parking can be limited but there couple spots if looking hard enough. Variable menu options from warm food to bubble tea. All in all goof place to eat after walking at the beach.

Cool, café spot on the island! Very friendly staff. The wrap was good, and the Bento box was good, but I don’t really recommend the glass noodles (just ok).

I had never been here before but it had been recommended to me. I ordered the bulgogi burger, and it threw me off because it wasn't a traditional patty. My only complaint is that this place might have ruined me. This sandwich and frozen lemonade was so good that I'm going to feel like I'm cheating on it by eating other food.

We ordered the mango lemonade fizz, an iced latte, the bulgogi beef burger, and the fried wontons. The lemonade and latte were delicious and a great size for the price. The bulgogi burger was tasty and the fried wontons were wonderful. The service was super fast and friendly!

Perfect place, perfect food i ve been here twice now and it s definitely the best place to eat near Departure Bay, the atmosphere is really nice when it gets late, and the service is excellent, kind staff and clean establishment. The prices are iffy but still pretty affordable for the quality. I really like the homemade feel of all the food options, the beef Bulgogi burger with fries and a bubble tea or a coke is a must. Great overrall thank you! Vegetarian options: They have veggie cilantro and veggie glass noodles Parking: Nice parking space infront of business Wheelchair accessibility: There is great wheelchair accessibility with a ramp.

The most beautiful cafe. I used to go to Wellington, and when it was over at the other location I would always go there on my lunch break. Made so many good memories. And now that I m 22 I still come here whenever I can. The most sweetest owner and the most yummiest food, and of course the best bubble tea!!! Thank you for everything that you do!!

We had spent the long weekend at Nanaimo on Victoria Day weekend, and we were really overwhelmed by the friendliness of people we have met in Nanaimo. Unfortunately, it wasn t the case for this Cafe. We went to this place to get drinks and foods for friends and ourselves on Saturday afternoon, and we ended up spending over $120 total for the takeout food and drinks orders. Despite the high value of our orders, we felt overlooked and undervalued. There was only a table occupied at that time, and even though we only had 4 people in our group, they still did not want us to wait for our orders inside the cafe. What made the experience even worse was that after we had waited outside for 20 minutes without any update on our orders, my friend decided to go in the cafe trying to ask them about the order status. The Asian staff in the Cafe did not even greet or ask her why she entered the cafe, but just rudely yelled at her to stay outside of the cafe and wait for her order outside... Even when he handed over our food after they were ready, his lack of courtesy was especially disheartening, considering the amount we had spent on our food and drinks that day. We seriously had no idea how this cafe has such a high review rating, and if the staff wasn t Asian, we would even suspect it s a racial thing. The only possible reason we could think of was that maybe it s because we were not from local areas, and they just simply don t like visitors from the mainlands like us Luckily, this was the only unpleasant incident we had encountered for the long weekend; everyone else we had met and every other place we had been to in Nanaimo were all so welcoming and heartwarming. As for this cafe, the whole experience was so horrible that we feel that this establishment is an embarrassment to the Nanaimo community, and we definitely WOULD NOT recommend this place to any visitor that are only there for their vacations.

A cozy café on Departure Bay. Came in hungry and left highly satisfied. Had their Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl, Veggie Glass Noodles, and two Nanaimo Bars. Sat in the corner by the window and listened great music while we ate. Service was swift and caring. Would eat there again in a heartbeat. Hats off to the Felice Café.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant with my girlfriend, it was surprisingly affordable compared to other restaurants in nanaimo and their food was phenomenal you couldnt get better French frys anywhere else. I would recommend asking for extra sauce if little sauce is an issue but other than that I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone in town.

Great coffee, food and service. If you ve got time before heading to the ferry this place is a good choice. The coffee is very good and the food is delicious. I had time to kill before boarding the ferry and I spent my time at the cafe drinking my coffee. The chef made my food just before my departure which was very attentive of her.

March 22, 2024

The staff at counter was very unfriendly,I asked for my order and he said here I told you already!and shoved it my way. He proceeds to tell that if we get a to go order we aren t allowed to sit in the chairs and eat it there. There were no other customers there,so no reason why we can t eat our paid order in a seat there! Very uncool.

I normally don t write reviews but I felt I need to after my experience in this cafe today. My fellows and I were only there for less than an hour and a half and we bought beverages and were plan on buying lunch there while doing our work but before we got the chance to do that, one of the staff came up to us and tried to beat around the bush on making us leave because we were told they are usually busy during lunch time on friday s and saturday s, which we completely understand. What we don t understand is that why we were being kicked out when we did not disturb anyone and there were plenty of tables open and we would have gotten up and leave if we noticed more people started to come in but that was not the case. I am so disappointed with the customer service we received today because previously their customer service is great but after today I will not be coming back here and will stop recommending this place to my friends because we felt disappointed and humiliated on how we were treated when we did absolutely nothing wrong. It would have been nice if the store had a warning or a preferred time they would like people that have work to do come in on a specific time and just not randomly kick us out while we were trying to enjoy our coffee. Again really disappointed with this place and will not be coming back here due to the way it had left us feeling after today.

I love checking out local coffee shops all over the island. Been to The Drip many times and it was my first time to notice Felice Cafe. So, went in for brunch and coffee. Did not order yet as my partner was in the washroom. I took the opportunity to take a video of their awesome interior design. But the guy behind the counter said I was not supposed to take video for privacy reason (its a coffee shop!) and he tried to debate with me, then he spoke to the woman probably his wife in their language. So I turned around and told my partner we should just get our coffee and eat brunch at another place.

There are few times I close my eyes and get lost in the flavour of my food, however the bulgogi beef took me out of myself. Lovely place, plenty of charm, owned by a friendly family.

This place is a really family friendly korean themed restaurant. When I was here after school I asked for a watermelon bubble tea and a chicken cesar wrap, the bubble tea was finished in 2 mins and the wrap was finished in 6 mins. The service was very quick and the staff were very nice. To be honest, I dont think I have gone to a restaurant this clean and friendly in a very long time. I love this place and would totally recommend it to other people. Vegetarian options: This place has a large variety of options available for vegetarians. The menu has lots of salads, wraps, and more foods that are veggies. Kid-friendliness: This place has multiple kid friendly features that allow kids of all ages to feel comfortable in this cafe. Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to get into this cafe at all. This cafe is very accessible to people in a wheelchair.

Ordered macarons and bubletea, then I was told I cant stay inside the restaurant because the macarons are in a small paper bag which they call takeout container. Nobody asked me if I want to eat inside or takeout. If you dont want perpople to order and eat inside why dont you just close the restaurant and do something else.

Fantastic little spot. Our host/server was excellent! We tried the wraps, which were delicious, and a peach bubble tea. The prices are very reasonable and we will definitely be back to try the Korean burger! The menu board artwork is fantastic!

Little gem in the neighborhood. Loved the beef Panini and Korean burger. Instead of minced meat, sliced beef was used. I also like the grilled onions in it. Definitely would come back Parking: Next to a beach with 10-20 parking spots available

Decent food , good Boba drinks. However , my friend asked for the Nutella banana waffle with mango added , and the guy refused , saying it wasnt possible . (I think you should be able to modify your order) also after we ordered our waffles he asked if it was to stay , we said yes . Then remembered prior engagements and said (withing 1 min of placing our order) that we would actually like it to go . The guy said he cant do it , they dont have to go containers big enough for the waffles , I explained that he can do whatever he needs , cut them and put them in multiple containers if need be , because we simply couldnt stay . He continued to argue and finally said okay . We got our order a few minutes later and the waffles were neatly put into a perfect fitting container with nice little piles of whipped cream on the side . Why was there arguing when it was all perfectly fine fitting ? Overall , I like the place . But this experience was rather unpleasant.

Went in to try their small vegetarian menu, but was told they were out of the soy-bulgogi. I asked for another vegetarian dish, but was met with a very apathetic response of yeah, but its going to take a while. I found the response pretty off putting, it was clearly a burden to make any of the vegetarian dishes on their menu. So, I ordered an Americano and found that they only put 1 shot of espresso in a 12 oz cup. Having years of barista work in my background, I knew right away that the coffee wasnt going to be good. And I was right. Even with an extra shot added, the coffee was weak and thin. Their other drinks might be good, but coffee is NOT their forte. I also tried some of the macarons and found them sickly sweet. The fruit flavour is definitely fake extract based. Perhaps their Korean lunch dishes and bubble tea are what people rave about, but I was very disappointed with my visit to Felice Cafe.

I had no idea I lived next to such a gem. This place is so much more than I thought it was. I cant explain how great this place is. You just need to go. There are so many bubble tea flavors, homemade desserts like beautiful macarons, and delicious tiramisu. They also have the best topping choices for waffles and have dinner boxes with so much variety! Put this on your list of places to try if youve never gone. The service is also to friendly and sincere.

Always an excellent shop to get a bite to eat. The unique style of the shop with a drawn chalk menu gives a lot of flare. The food is solid and well presented. The desserts are to die for. Finally, the boba tea has so many options from the usual to unusual and all taste so great.

I always say good things about restaurants but a recent experience at Felice Cafe almost left me in tears for the first time ever. I got interrogated on why I wanted to take pictures of my food. Even after explaining how I love to support local restaurants and showing them my Instagram food page TWICE. Then I got questioned why I ordered so much food and that having to pack up leftovers would be double the work for them. I said I would pack up any leftover food myself which has been the more common practice since the pandemic. No apologies were offered. They were really rude. Anyways, they are closing down after this week....
