In the heart of bustling downtown Nanaimo is a homely café that has been on the scene for more than a decade. With its locally roasted coffee and homemade goodies reminiscent of your grandma's baking, it’s always hard to resist a coffee and a snack, especially when the wholesome food comes with grade-A service and an appealing ambience that never fails to set the mood. This is Perkins Coffee Company.

Arguably one of the most popular things Perkins Coffee Company is known for and stands for is homemade recipes from decades past. The entire menu is made in-house, every day from scratch, and the food is freshly cooked with quality organic ingredients. As a child, Lila acquired the skill of making food from scratch every day from her grandmother, who did the same at a café where she worked. Continuing with her grandmother’s flawless recipes, Lila continues to create the distinct and original flavors that their customers love, distinguishing Perkins Coffee Company from the rest.

Perkins is more than a café – it’s a part of the community. Staff are friendly and helpful and pride themselves on knowing what their regular customers prefer and who they are. As they have been doing for the past ten years, the family at Perkins Coffee Company looks forward to serving you in the near future.

"Muffins and Coffee!” Have been drinking their coffee and eating those awesome muffins (especially any muffin with cream cheese in it) for well over a decade. The location is fantastic, the coffee perfect and the food has always been tasty and consistent. Look forward to more!  -Dave (Nanaimo)
