This restaurant is my favourite for lunch in Campbell River - try the roasted chicken breast sandwich or the delicious grilled cheese! Plus, the banana bread and coffee is excellent. View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Java Shack:
Earlier they have wonderful customer service and good experience here, this summer they have a new dark haired girl working and never blurred about the way she talked to us, how we were stupid, nor did she have anything... we asked her just stared us empty and said "I don't know" View all feedback.

The Java Hut is a great café to stop in and grab a good cup of coffee, breakfast, or delicious lunch.

We were on a "hide from the rain" excursion and at the Museum a lady told us about this place. It has a nice patio, but that was out, as the weather was inclement. We ordered, thinking the prices were reasonable and expecting a certain amount for the money paid. Did we ever get surprised! The meal didn't take extraordinarily long, though there was some wait. The meal itself and the salad was a wonderful combination of vegetables, nuts and dressing. The sandwich ( I got a BLT) had unusual ingredients, but so complimented the whole that I was really happy.Even our teenager was happy with the amount of food...and he's a big eater. I had to take some away, but enjoyed it just as much at the second eating!Highly recommend this for food, though the cleanup of tables left a little to be desired, in all it was great We could see the staff was very busy!
