This place is AWESOME! Gluten free and vegan muffins are out of this world and with no corn (big plus for a GF option). You definitely feel the passion they have for tasty and good quality food. Another plus, they are friendly and very welcoming. They will treat you like family and share their knowledge and passion for what they do!!! Bravo Biff and family :D I Will definitely come back !!!!

We bought the Apple Raspberry vegan gluten-free muffins from Pomme Natural Market (freezer section). They were AMAZING! Incredibly moist and very flavorful. The company we served them to thought they were delicious. Will definitely buy again!

Had great breakfast with family here. We enjoyed the falafel and veggie wraps as well as the breakfast sandwich and muffins. There is great coffee and a good selection of teas and amazing service! We highly recommend Rawmbas! P.S. There are vegan Nanaimo bars!

Such a great place to stop for coffee, or lunch, or snacks. My husband raves that their coconut milk lattes are the best he’s had. Their muffins are incredible, and love that they’re both gluten free and vegan. The mini muffins are the perfect size for little kids they don’t feel duped with having to share one with a sibling, and less food waste when they don’t eat a big one. I like to buy at least a dozen minis at a time and freeze them they freeze great for a later time!

Biff provided excellent customer service, like, outstanding. The coffee is hot and fresh. Strong enough but not overwhelming. I had a blueberry muffin that wasn't stale and enjoyed the atmosphere of the store. It is difficult to find a cafe with such a knowledgeable and personable staff member. Will absolutely be returning and would recommend it to anyone.
