Duncan Garage Cafe & Bakery

Came here with my little sisters and apparently it’s one of my dad’s favourite places. The food is unbelievably healthy, «clean» and delicious. I eat very well and have lived in Van, Vic, New York, London and now Toronto and this is as good as it gets (for healthy, fresh lunchtime food). Also lots of gluten-​free options including cinnamon buns!

This place has super fresh and tasty vegetarian and vegan food that’s also reasonably priced. I had a delicious gluten free and sugar free blueberry bran muffin here — I swear it’s true! It was sweetened with honey and so dang good. Another visit I had the quinoa cakes and veggies. Also, very good. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the vegan cookie, which was a bit dry and bland, but I loved the other stuff so much I’m not gonna hold it against them.

We were driving thru duncan looking for a good coffee shop and found one !
Coffee was great, pastries were a bit basic and not that great but ok.

The food is fresh and creative, prepared with attention and hearty servings.
I’ve eaten here twice and will be a regular. Brunch (burrito) and lunch quiche and soup were both excellent, lots of choices served by a very friendly staff.
There is often a line, so don’t come in a rush; informal seating. Bus your own table, find a spot in or out.

I am from NY this place is excellent.
Great service. Amazing food. White Choc Rasp
Scones are incredible, I don’t even like scones.
The soups are out of this world. had the white bean
Quesadilla, how do they get it so full of flavor?
Considering becoming a vegetarian. sure wish they would
write a cookbook.

Everything I’ve had from the café is delicious and I love how vegan friendly it is. It’s so cool that there is a used bookstore and natural grocery market inside the building as well! I love the whole concept of this place. I visit Duncan Garage every time I go home to visit family (I live in California now)!

This place is über cool. The concept of this place is so amazing, open for artists and musicians to show off their wares, DC has a beyond excellent bakery and lunch counter too. Healthy vegan and gluten free options, great coffee and the freshest of ingredients. A very natural, hippy ambiance electrifies the entire store. The Garage was packed on a Saturday morning with all kinds of townspeople supporting the place. There was a library which also sold local items like jewelry and bags, and a health food store. I didn’t get to look around the entire place, but I saw the second floor was having a garage sale to help support keeping the Garage open. According to their website, they have live music almost every night. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are in town.

good coffee, the best granola around and the apple sticky buns? Amazing. Cool hippy ambience.

This is a terrific organic bakery/​coffee stop… delicious foodie items, very eclectic space, adjacent to organic fruit/​veggie location, and second hand bookstore, plus display and gallery space above… across from the Duncan Train Station and the main town streets. A bit of a time tunnel to a more alternative/​retro moment in the Valley… definitely should be on your grazing list. Yes, to those cinnamon buns…

A worthwhile stop for some lunch while around Duncan, BC. Soooo many vegan/​vegetarian/​gluten-​free healthy options, and a very grassroots vibe. The wrap is excellent and packed with flavour. The rice bowl provides protein power from the beans and had a nom-​tastic miso sauce and plenty of veg with brown rice.
Super friendly staff made this place welcoming, and they craft a mean iced matcha!
Great hang-​out spot, too, as I saw some people working on some writing, or working on their laptops, or reading novels. Speaking of books, there is also a lovely book store located in the same building, as well as a healthy grocery market store. Only note would be that there is limited seating at teeny tables, so best to go with a small group or solo.
What a lovely little healthy haven :)

Wonderful Café & Bakery with lots of desserts including vegan and gluten free options. Also had a good selection of food including sandwiches, salads, soups and hot foods. Their coffee was pretty good as well.
Food: I had their curry combo plate which included a yellow potato curry and a red lentil, chickpea curry on brown rice. It also included 2 little samosas… not sure what was in it. It was a little cold, so I did not eat it. Otherwise, the meal was hot and delicious.
Desserts: Date bar and Almond Lemon Meringue Cookie was big and substantial. Very tasty.
