★ 3.5 / 5 (12 reviews)

Located in an old railway station, this charming cafe offers an attractive ambiance with outdoor seating in a garden setting. The menu is limited but features tasty signature dishes such as the turkey and brie wrap. Prices may be a bit steep for the portion sizes, but the atmosphere and service make up for it. While some visitors have had issues with slow service and limited hours, others have praised the delicious omelettes and wraps. Overall, this cafe is recommended for a delightful breakfast or lunch experience in Chemainus.

What Anonym dislikes about Dayliner Cafe:
Stopped into this bright cafe about 3pm on a Saturrday looking for a light lunch. Opted to sit in the patio garden which was very pleasant. Menu was limited consisting of an all day breakfast, two soups and several wraps and sandwiches. My wife and I opted for the signature turkey and brie wrap and a cup of soup. Soup was tasty and wrap was served with the minimum of garnish and quite small. For $15.00 we thought it... View all feedback.

We stopped in for a coffee & a mocha. The 2 staff members were friendly. The cafe was an old train station at one time. The decor is very modern and classy. They are closed for 2 days mid-week and close fairly early as well. On a few weekend nights per month they offer a set dinner menu and I believe that reservations are recommended.

Trendy food - a little pricey for lunch - Service was very slow - Chowder was very watery, we were expecting a cream base - quaint atmosphere - outdoor seating in a garden setting - not likely to return

I went with a girlfriend - our start to a girls' day out. Could not have chosen any better!My friend had a wrap - they serve a lot of wraps - which was grilled and decadent. Perfect. I had a cheese, ham and tomato omelette. This is one of the best omelette's I've ever had. They were out of their cheesy scalloped potatoes, which are a house specialty and served even with breakfast.The bill was about $40 which is very affordable for this divine breakfast.I would love to return for lunch for their homemade soup. Next trip to Chemainus.
