Java Shack

I was treated very poorly, I had to wait forever, and the food was not what I ordered, I didn't even get to eat, my lunch hour is short and I really was very upset with the whole Java Shack Experience, the Coffee wasn't bad

Altho service is sometimes slow because they are so busy, especially when the ferry comes in, the food is excellent! Fresh, tasty and presented well!
We make a point of stopping in!

poor service and a gas station food

Whats the deal with people talking trash about the java shack? Come on now, you gotta wonder why someone speak such blatant lies. An opinion is one thing but I mean, most of the negativity been written is just totally rediculous. Its all love anyways guys, keep up the good work and forget the naysayers. Peace!

I was sent to the java shack as a recommendation from someone I work with. It was busy but the lines moved quite quickly. My only problem is that the woman taking our order was too busy talking to the other girl working and didn't hear that we wanted the procutto on the grilled cheese. When we approached the counter with the sandwich asking why there was no procutto, we were treated rudely, they then opened the grilled sandwich, stuck a little procutto in it.. and gave it back to us. Not OK guys.. unfortunatly the soup was delicious but the service was not, so we have not ventured back.

it was ok, Not my favorite place but not terrible either. service sucks food normal

sorry to hear that your polleny was not to your liking. in the almost three years of serving it, we've only had literally a handful of people who do not like it (mostly due to not liking polenta). would have been great to know what you felt was wrong about it and perhaps we could have re-made the dish for you or changed something about it for you. direct feedback is always welcome as we dont always have time to check with customers. please feel free to talk with anyone in the kitchen or with the owners, chris and kaylene, if something is not to your liking. we do strive to produce the best, most consistent products we can, each and every time we make something, but dont forget that we are only human and mistakes will inevitably happen.

as to the comment about

The Eggs Polleny Was awful and incorrectly made, I've had better at fast food resturaunts

Merry Christmas to the staff ..... Stan Clark

too rude and bad service, food is not that great,,be more elegant please, and not the eye rolling things.

Comfortable, friendly with excellent food. Fresh baked muffins, sandwiches and soup made with really good ingredients. The coffee and tea is the best in town.

awesome. Thank you Java Shack for being there for us. Great food, great service, happy upbeat atmosphere........like fine wine, it gets better with age.

cheap processed meat

Ahhh the Java. The Finest Coffee/Cafe in Town. Both the coffee and the food are always made with love. The Eggs polleny is stellar, and so are the wholesome, fresh baked goodies. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The staff are all cool cats. Its also the unique, little things that make it such a sweet spot(Not to mention the location and view). With all the greasy spoons in Campbell River, the Java Shack is a saviour to the more healthy conscious crowd and sets the standard for other cafe/restaurants in town. By the way, we named the goat

I think Java Shack is a wonderful place with the best food around. I absolutely love your Eggs Poll-eny and it is my mainstay. Everything about it is perfection- from how it looks to the most icredible combination of flavours and textures - the fruit, the eggs, the polenta, the sauce, the potatoes - ah, heavenly. And today I tried the granola and it is the best I have ever had. So keep up the good - no, make that incredible work. I have many things yet to try and look forward to conquering your menu. Also, the staff is great and I like putting an animal on my table as I await my feast!

I think Java Shack does Campbell River a great and unique service and is the only coffee shop in town that is comparable in its quality and energy to larger city cafes. The staff do a great job, smart, fast, reliable, present. Great espresso coffee and home made baking. All the food I have tried there has been good and generous and there are plenty of smiles from the servers who work like crazy to keep up with the rushes. I am very thankful for the Shack.
My only suggestions would be to cosy up the space more. I like the addition of the bamboo blinds, softens the light. Also, I would suggest whole milk be available as 2% is a bit thin and takes away from a good tea or coffee in my opinion.
thanks much

THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THESE LAST TWO COMMENTS,CLEARLY, ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID AND SHOULDNT BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M SURPRISED YOU WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO NAVIGATE THOUGH THIS SITE. THE SHACK IS FANTASTIC AND SO ARE ALL OF ITS STAFF AND THE GREAT PEOPLE WHO FREQUENT IT ON A DAILY BASIS, AND JUDGING FROM HOW BUSY IT IS, THEY HAVE CLEARLY DONE SOMETHING RIGHT!

I would not recommend this place to anyone .

funny empty,not my style of place bad service and fast food

I am a frequent flyer through the Java Shack restaurant, and I would recommend this place to anyone. I've always received great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. They have friendly and personable, and the culture is great. I look forward to my next visit.

Best java shop in town! More than just coffe... breakfast, lunch and great service!

Competent, intelligent, and beautiful staff, combined with a clear love and cultivated taste of delicious and wholesome cookery, as well as the skill and knowledge to know what a good cup of coffee should taste like, blend completely with a superb location and a welcoming and home like environment that fosters colorful and interesting conversation amongst friends and strangers alike.

We're all allowed our opinions, its just that some of our opinions are far more applicable than others... naysayers and snooty aficionado's of an ignorant concept of class and service should cringe here.

Friendly atmosphere and excelent staff. Kicking Horse coffee is fantastic!

perhaps you could elaorate on terrible service.

I own a local fishing charter company and bring all my clients here for breakfast and use Java Shack for catering my guests lunches.........not sure what any of the negative feedback is about. This place is first class! 100's of my guests rave year-round about the quality that is provided by Java Shack. Some people of Campbell River just don't know good food and coffee when they taste! Keep up the good work guys you're bringing the culture that we need in Campbell River!

terrible service, dirty, playing with your hair is not a good sign while you serving food,people can see you.ok coffee and food

I was given terrible service, Good Food and average coffee

WICKED FOOD, WICKED COFFEE! GREAT ATMOSPHERE.. THE STAFF WILL MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME) THE NEW BURGER IS AWESOME!

plain food nothing to die for daily diet.

There is plenty of food, and it is all made fresh to order... There is no fast food, but the sandwiches will give your mother a run for her money, and the soup is to die for. The coffee is high quality, a little stronger than normal. They also sell the best brownies, and other assorted snacks. and have a full breakfast menu that is served until 11.

people have taste and its not the best coffe shop in town the food is normal and nothing special or some of it jt just a shack trying to be in the back
nothing special normal snaks and that is java shack
food has to be food and snack stay snack as java snack

Great coffee, great food, great service and great atmosphere - yes, Campbell River does need more place like th Java Shack

the java shack makes the best coffee in town.... the food is to die for... and the staff is the best around.. good job java schack )

The best coffee in town, great tasting healthy food in a chill environment. Campbell River needs more places like this.

Oh by the way- the java shack has moved- they are now at 1041 shoppers row- in the old dukes location- right across the ferry terminal

Disregard callaloo's comment. The Java Shack is well above average, better than most than you'd find in the big city. The food is homemade, the atmosphere is casual and relaxing and the service is friendly and personal. A Campbell River gem.

Great coffee and excellent staff!

this place sucks! The food Hah! What food! The service is terrible and the decor sucks! A big lame mess, even Dukes is better
