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.

One of the best lunch spots in Campbell River. Great sandwiches and good Coffee. I think you can even ask for it Aussie style. Not sure if that girl still works there.

So delish! Fresh ingredients with local flair, I recommend the boss sandwich! I also had a loose leaf tea that was fantastic.

What a lovely little coffee shop, but with mighty fine breakfast menu! After a few long days on the road, it was a great place to stop in for breakfast to give us the energy to continue on with our travels. My friend and I both had the stuffed breakfast croissant; him with a coffee and a tea for me. Absolutely delicious. It was a bit intimidating at first - it is very stuffed. But very flavourful and made with very fresh ingredients. The proximity to the Quadra Island ferry is also great. Strongly recommend!

Mold on most of the blueberriesMissing the red pepper sauce on our eggs polennyThe dark roast coffee was lukewarm but the medium was hot.

I have visited this place a few times over the yearsThe coffee is excellent (I'm picky about my java) and the food is great.

Despite some mixed reviews regarding customer service and wait times, Java Shak in Campbell River seems to be a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. The menu offers a variety of options, including veggie dishes, sandwiches, and salads, all of which are reportedly delicious and generously portioned. The ambiance is described as funky, cozy, and wheelchair accessible. While some visitors have experienced slow service, the food quality and friendly staff seem to make up for it. Overall, Java Shak appears to be a good choice for a satisfying meal in Campbell River.

Among the freshest most awesome sandwitches in Canada. Filling but light healthy every time. Never dense or too spicy.

I asked for the prices of some menu items and received a rude response. I have photographic evidence of this. It was both unkind and unprofessional. I won't be going back.

If your in any type of hurry don't order food. Long wait times all the time. 30 min for a sandwich kind of lines. Coffee is good and staff are friendly.

My partner and I had the best meal during our two-week trip to BC from Edmonton. I ordered The Boss, which was an incredible pulled pork sandwich special accompanied by one of the best side salads I’ve ever tasted. My partner went for the Mclovin salad, a delicious and nutritious vegan option that she absolutely loved. The café itself is beautiful, with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. It came highly recommended by a friend who lives in the area, and we’re more than happy to pass on that recommendation! 5 gold stars!!

Just opposite the Quadra ferry terminal is the Java Shack, just at the back of the Tyee shopping Centre and facing the ocean on the eastside. It’s clearly a favourite haunt of the locals as we were in at lunchtime and breakfast and it was all locals. The food is very good. Sandwiches take a bit of time, but they are fresh, light and clearly made to order. Coffee is proper coffee full roasted, full bodied and designed to raise the dead much better than the insipid stuff Starbucks serves up. My wife had a bagel and eggs and really enjoyed it. My breakfast bagel with scrambled egg, bacon and cheese was lovely. The staff were very helpful, friendly and responsive. As tourists, it was obvious we weren 't locals, but they were great. I 'd recommend breakfast or lunch they know their clientele and serve good food.

The grilled cheese paired with roasted red pepper soup was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. It was definitely worth the wait. Despite being very busy, the staff took the time to ensure the meal was well-crafted.

I would highly recommend this place—10 out of 10! If you're in the Campbell River area and looking for a healthy meal, don't miss out on this spot. In the photos, you can see the burger, the vegetables, and the roast beef.

Make sure to stop by if you're in a hurry! This place is bustling for a very good reason. The coffee is outstanding, and the food is some of the best I've had in a long time. Prices are competitive with other establishments. The presentation was fantastic, and the staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I've never been happier with my breakfast!

Very beautiful little place right in front of the water. I ordered the hot chocolate and if was probably one of the best ones I've been had. From high tables to comfy couches, great place to stop by for a quick drink!
