Breakfast
August 09, 2014Went for breakfast today and had a standard order of 2 eggs, toast, bacon, pan fried potatoes. Everything was excellent! They make their own bread, it was like holding a piece of air it was so light and tasty. Eggs and bacon cooked to the way I ordered them. Pan fries were dusted with herbs and were cooked just right.... more

disapointment
August 03, 2014Have been to this restaurant many times two years ago and was very good and sadly today it is just horrible. The Benny Sauce was bland watery, Potatoes were over spiced with stale flavored dry Herbs. When leaving to pay bill I stood at counter for a very long time while not even being acknowledged by the person behind the... more

Family Dinner
July 29, 2014Great service, and food. Our group of 6 adults and 2 children were all happy with what we had ordered. The menu had lots to choose from and the dinner specials were delicious.

Truly remarkable
July 21, 2014Myself and a friend went for lunch and had an excellent meal at a very reasonable price. The service was great, catering to our wants and needs. As for the ambience it was like the TV show Diners, dives and drive ins. I would recommend that Guy Fieri try out this place. The fish is great.

Amazing
July 12, 2014Me and my kids went to this restaurant for breakfast. I wanted an omelet but it was not on the menu and they made one for me any ways. The food was amazing. The waitress we had was very friendly and helpful. She gave us a suggestion to go to Englishman fall before heading out of town. We went and... more

They do the biggest breakfast I have ever seen
June 03, 2014
My friend likes a big breakfast, you know the " Loggers Breakfast", well it's the biggest one i have seen anywhere around here!
If I tried top eat it I would burst, it's huge, and not that pricey.
Whenever our group the ROMEO's (Retired Old Men Eating Out) goes there we are always treated well, in fact the waitress usually...

Yummy, big portions and the Baby-Friendliest bathroom EVER
June 01, 2014
I hadn't visited Trees since new ownership came in. What a lovely surprise!
I came with my 16 year old Son and 3 year old Daughter. Chicken Strips, Clubhouse Sandwich, Poutine, Italian Soda and Coffee were all very yummy. Portions big enough for anyone. The baking looked amazing!
The women's bathroom was spotlessly clean, and was equipped with a FULLY...

Good family restaurant
May 24, 2014This restaurant is frequented by the locals so you know it's good. Fresh baked goods and prices are very reasonable. Wide range of items to choose from. Owner is friendly and service was good. I will go there again when travelling through to Coombs and the West Coast. Very nice alternative to the market restaurant. Easy access off and back... more

Breakfast and mmmm good stuff
May 19, 2014
My wife and I were in Parksville visiting my mom. While there, she recommended Trees to us for breakfast.
When we walked in, we noticed that Trees was more than just a place for breakfast. It's also a bakery.
I would have to say that it's the best place on the island to grab something to eat, hands down!

Wow
October 01, 2013I think I've found our new favorite "local" after a friend of mine recommended we try "Trees" . Have passed this place many times in the past, but never stopped. It's on the Port Alberni Hwy, not far from Coombs market (on your way towards Parksville) and apparently it has recently been taken over by new owners and is now... more

Great food, attentive staff
September 27, 2013It's an unassuming cafe and can make you leary going in, but it's great food. The portions were huge and home made, down to the bread. The staff was attentive and the chef came out to check on the food. They brought my 6 year old a coloring book. A great experience, very good food!

All the way from st. Catharines
September 19, 2013...and had a delicious Rueben. My partner had a crisp and flavourful veggie burger and soup of the day and it was just a treat, it hit the spot. Our 5 companions also expressed satisfaction with their friendly service as well. Good place to come back to.

August 10, 2013We arrived four minutes after eleven, when breakfast was over, and were rudely told that we were too late. We got a bit lost trying to find this restaurant and it was our first time in this area. The owner could have been nice and suggested some alternative breakfast type food as a substitute, or anything pleasant and we would... more

Decent food
July 27, 2013Its a bakery and a restaurant. Service was friendly. Mainly bugers and sandwiches menu for lunch. Food was decent but not fabulous. I didnt see a children's menu - not sure if there was one - our son wasnt very hungry and a kids menu wasnt offered. The had lots of bread andpastries for sale.

Home Cooked Canadian Meals for Visiting ex_Pats
June 07, 2013Trees was recommended to us when we stated that even though we love our life in Europe, one does miss many things that we consider "home". A "hearty" Canadian breakfast is one of those things. Trees did not disappoint. We had an omelet that was full of fresh vegetables and pancakes that came with real Maple Syrup. For those of... more

Great food and experience, we will be back
May 19, 2013We tried this restaurant based on the reviews since the new owner bought the restaurant. We had a great meal and will be back for sure. All the food was fresh and well worth the drive from Nanaimo. Can't wait to try Tree's for lunch. Hats off to the new owner on a job well done.

Saturday tradition
May 04, 2013As regular customers, ...every Saturday morning, at least, we enjoy great breakfasts. The fruit plate is all fresh product with more than the standard ingredients ...for example slices of papaya, star fruit, dragon fruit as well as fresh blueberries, strawberries, melons, pineapple and oranges, all served up with a side of thick Greek yogurt. Standard breakfast items come with great... more

We've eaten here 3 times, always for breakfast. There's a reason we come back.
When you walk inside, unlike many area restaurants, this place is clean, bright, and fresh. The service has always been attentive and prompt. But the best part is the food.

Real food; thick fresh baked bread, real turkey and bacon ( club house sandwich ) thick tomato slices. Plus there's lots of food on the plate.

new owner, awesome food and portions
October 12, 2012
If there is a restaraunt to try in Parksville this is it!!
The new owner is the baker from Coombs market and she has amazing food and bakery items at reasonable prices with a wonderful atmosphere.
Don't pass this one by!!
Any negative reviews on this site are from the old owners who went out of business.

August 13, 2014
We are a diamond in the rough. We have an inhouse bakery where goodies are placed out fresh throughout the day. Better come early if you are looking for a cinnamon bun (they never last).
We have a large breakfast menu and a great variety for lunch. There is no set menu for dinner as we make different chef specials nightly.
Come in and enjoy the great foods!
