Vault Cafe - Nanaimo

The vault is a restaurant in an old bank with funky decor. they order at the counter, take a number and eat is brought to their table. while the vegan options are limited, their sandwich board has always a choice that is vegan or can be made vegan. I chose the veggie sandwich with zucchini, tomaten, arugula, marinara and smoked tofu (from the non-vegan pesto). the thin slices of smoked tofu felt like I was eating a really good blt. the sandwiches are large, but they can also add kartoffels, a sidealat suppe or (which is occasionally vegan). they also have a vegan breakfast package that has discarded tofu.

Could not make five stars because it is not completely veg, I think, but the vegan breakfast pack and the muffins were sooo delicious. also had a chai latte with milk, also delicious. we picked up the ferry and it's a good thing that we did as it took a few minutes to cook the breakfast packages. the package was $13, which wasn't super cheap imo, but I don't regret it because it was delicious. there is also a small vintage shop in the back, and single-stand washing rooms.

The caffe itself has a very cool mood, but unfortunately there are limited vegan options as far as the food goes. it is a good place to stop for a drink! updated by the previous review on 2021-05-31 updated by the previous review on 2021-05-31

Only three vegan options in the menu, apart from the daily suppe with something happy. Eating was ok, but nothing amazing. personal was friendly and helpful

We and our friends visited the island victoria and took a coffee there and it was certainly one of our great experiences on the island. the coffee is really good with a coffee bean at medium toast. the hai was really delicious. also the service is so friendly. Note: if they are Mexican, they have valentina sauce
