If you're heading north, make sure to stop by this to-die-for coffee shop. They roast their own coffee in house and its truly the best. Their cinnamon brioche is my go-to.

Neighbourhoods

Go for a stroll along the Cowichan Bay. It's full of shops, restaurants and my favourite bakery (True Grain). Great place to take your kids for ice cream and to see the sea lions at the marina.
