Where to Stop Between Victoria and Tofino? You’ll Find the Best in Duncan!

If you are heading to the surf in Tofino, catching the ferry in Nanaimo, or cruising north from Victoria, there’s a stop that always hits the spot: Duncan Garage Cafe & Bakery! 

We’re tucked inside a historic 1913 building just a few blocks off the Island Highway in downtown Duncan. It’s the kind of place you stumble into once and always remember. Maybe it’s some of the best home made pastries. Maybe it’s the local eggs, the locally roasted coffee from Drumroaster, or the sourdough sandwiches stacked with Cowichan grown veggies. Or maybe it’s just the warm, kind energy you feel the second you walk in buzzing in the air! 

Everything we serve is made from scratch, vegetarian (with lots of vegan + gluten-free options), and rooted in what’s local and seasonal. We have you covered when you are on the go or need a rest on that road trip! 

So next time you’re road tripping the Island, pull over in Duncan!  We’ll feed you well and send you off smiling. Take some time to walk around downtown and explore some of the things that make the Cowichan Valley so special! 

Don't forget to explore the rest of the Garage building to see the bookstore, yoga studio, art gallery, art studio, records store, acupuncturist, and hair salon!
