32 Lakes Cafe and Bakery

The best place to start your day, in fact the only espresso shop in town open at 7:30 am that offers fresh made croissants and other yummy stuff! They give the latte Art too!

Fun digs with wicked coffee! Finished our kayaking trip and was craving a good cup of coffee. It definitely didn't disappoint! Got the lavender latte which was the perfect amount of caffeine and sweetness without being over the top! The location was super chill and great to sit in the sun.

32 Lakes Cafe and Bakery is a charming establishment nestled in the heart of Powell River, offering a delightful experience for coffee and pastry enthusiasts. With its inviting atmosphere and attentive staff, it promises a memorable visit. However, I must admit that their rendition of the London fog falls short of expectations.

The London Fog at 32 Lakes Cafe and Bakery unfortunately lacks the robust flavour one would hope for. Despite the promising combination of Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, and a touch of vanilla, the end result is disappointingly weak and lacks that distinctive essence that makes this beverage so beloved. It leaves much to be desired in terms of taste and intensity. This was mainly due to the lack of steamed milk and sweetener in the London Fog that was received. It was so weak that it couldn't be finished.

That said, it's worth noting that 32 Lakes Cafe and Bakery offers a wide range of other delightful beverages and mouth watering pastries. From aromatic coffees to delectable treats, there are plenty of options to explore and enjoy. The cozy ambiance and friendly service further contribute to the overall experience.

If you're seeking a bold and flavourful London Fog, it may be advisable to explore alternative options. However, if you're open to discovering other delightful offerings, 32 Lakes Cafe and Bakery certainly has plenty to offer, making it a worthwhile stop for coffee and bakery enthusiasts alike.

I happened to stay within a few blocks of this shop which happened to be a blessing.
Coffee is great. So are fresh baked croissant and baguette. What is above and beyond is the service. I have had lots of great coffee in Seattle including my own roasted coffee but it is a gem when you find a place that serves great coffee and matching services. Thanks Nevada and the team.
I hope this small town stays this way forever.

Okay I've been in Powell River for about 3 weeks now and have tried all the cafes ....anddddd this baby takes the cake! Tbh all the coffee in this town by all businesses is bloody good! However 32 lakes definitely takes first place. The coffee here is amazing, as are all the specialty coffees for the season changes. (Couldn't believe how TASTY the maple pecan latte was!)
And the food... wow... such beautifully presented, eye catching and delicious bakery treats.
The interior is incredibly warm, welcoming and the giant big windows facing the morning street just makes it a perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, journal and/or read for a while.
On top of all this, the staff are so genuinely kind and friendly. Lots of smiles, genuine conversation, and helpful advice.
10/10 ! And my #1 for PR. Thanks guys for such a amazing and unique little business 🥰
