Mudsharks Coffee Bar

I absolutely felt the need to mention that Mudsharks Is Hands down the best coffee Bar/cafe I have been too, not only is the quality of their food/beverages above and beyond what i have had from previous places but their entire staff are always friendly and always a pleasure to deal with. I am a brand loyalty based person and will hands down be making this my go to spot. I recommend you do the same,
I can't rave enough about the staff from the ladies behind the counter for their Positive demeanour and efficiency in order fulfilment. To the gentlemen in the kitchen always having my orders out in minutes with zero effect on the quality and always served with a smile.

A Big Thank You To Team Mudsharks.

Their new location is nice area and has a nice friendly atmosphere with delicious food at a very reasonable price. The staff including one and only Geneva are always dedicated, caring and they always provide good customer service.

Tomato? Spinach? Cajun spice? Tough ciabatta, soggy bacon and no flavour. I think this is taking food cost too far, especially with raised prices.

Muddy sharks! Nobody like Mud sharks Coffee Bar puts mud in your eye and a sproing in your flipper so you can "Swim with the sharks. "

Too many wonderful things to say and not enough room in the post. Polite, friendly, positive and empathetic staff who go the extra mile. Food was wonderful and healthy and nourishing. Superb experience. Again, can't say enough.

Take your worst coffee experience and multiply it by 10. It's just really bad coffee.

My go-to for coffee in the valley. They also have excellent food and baked goods. Open well before the other coffee shops and well after the others close. Highly recommend!

Love their new location! Super spacious and decor is cute! The dessert prices are very good for the size and the drinks are yummy! I just wish food portions were a little bigger for the price. I had the Moroccan bowl for 17 bucks and my medium chai latte and I was still hungry. Super tasty though! I got 3 desserts to go and had 1 drink and one bowl in their outside sitting area and it was 40 bucks Will go back but probably just for their drinks or a dessert to go.

Nice atmosphere and appears well visited and liked by customers. Food on my order had plenty to be desired for my taste (for your taste it may be fine) : the savory scone is not baked properly, it was almost uncooked in the middle. The amount of black pepper is so much it is actually spicy and if that is the idea it should be advertised as such to help people who cannot handle spicy meals. The Avocado toast on a ciabata bun is actually not even the entire bun and aside of the little salad on the side and the sauce, the sandwich has nothing else on it. I may come again for coffee or other drink only.

This is my go-to study spot. The coffee is great and I love their gf muffins (they often have a good coffee and muffin deal on as well). I've also heard nothing but praise for their glory bowls as well, though I have yet to try. I love the atmosphere here and the service is always warm and welcoming.

Delicious food and drinks, great surfer atmosphere, and really friendly staff. Highly recommend!

What a great place for delicious food. As a Vegan it can be a challenge to find a place that works out but Mudsharks has quite a few options on the main menu as well as in the treats. Both my Mom and I were blown away at how amazing the food was on the fronts of the main meal and dessert. Also the staff were absolutely fantastic at making sure we got the info needed to make the Vegan meal amazing. Bravo! We’ll be back again for sure the next time we get out to Courtenay.

EDIT: June 2023 ~ this is one of our most fave places to BE! Great patio & inside decor, comfy too.

Glory Bowl, Grateful Bowl, Brekkie stuff, Hummus Wrap, Avocado Wrap and much more, are delish & healthy, made in house. Scones are to die for (Savory is our fave wow) & also made in house! WoW

We eat here (take out & dine in) 2x/ week, we love it. Coffees, Lattes etc are Perfect. Staff is awesome too, super service!

Terrific vibes at this gem! "TODAY is the BEST day EVER" indeed (their theme).
Thank U Darryl & Team! S&S

New location is awesome! Much bigger inside & great patio space out front. Fantastic Service as always & amazing coffees (awesome Barristas!) The Cookies are to die for Highly recommend

High quality healthy & diverse food! As two European hikers exploring Vancouver Island Mudshark was the ideal place to staunch our craving for some high quality food especially veg & fiber (after having lived off camping food for days). Can definitely recommend the Glory Bowls, delicious coffee & fast WiFi.

Had an iced coffee that was great as was the date square. Staff were very good at their job. Outdoor seating was great on a hot day. Paying with a card on their fancy machine was a snap BUT it gets a bit tiring when the machine insinuates a tip is appropriate. (Yes everyone is doing it but I am tired of tipping for everything.)

The staff is fantastic, such sweethearts. And the environment is really peaceful. Ate here before their relocation and the food was good and the drinks great!
. But, this time around the food was just so-so
The avocado wrap- we literally thought it came with no avocado, that's how little avocado was put into the recipe.
The chilli was very watery this time. And there was bacon mixed into the breakfast bowl, when we had requested for it to be on side.
The indoor mugs for the small size are not 8 oz mugs either. So order your drink in to go cups
I prefer a drink menu that is 12-16-20 whereas it's a 8-12-16 here.

Just little things.but at a pretty price tag, little things end up being important.

Second time & still as delicious. The Chai Tea Latte is fresh, tasty & perfect, not like a lot of coffee bars where they seem to make them far too sickly. This time we shared a muffin & the pumpkin cheesecake, can probably say the freshest tasting muffin we have ever eaten & cheesecake was so tasty. Staff are very friendly & helpful, place is clean. As a senior the only thing we found was sound echos slightly so when a lot of people in there, difficult to hear each other talk but could have sat outside because it was a Sunny day. For the quality of drinks & food, definitely value for money & popular which is always a good sign.

New location. Coffee was very good and service was excellent. Quite crowded mid-afternoon with lots of people taking up two seats their computers and gear.

I hadn't been to Mudsharks since it was in their old location beside Gladstone's because I had so many negative experiences there involving one of the male servers. I had heard through the grapevine that this person was recently let go so I decided to finally go back after hearing this news. WOW, not only is the atmosphere exponentially more inviting and happier, the food also tastes better if you can believe it! What an improvement!

Friendly staff, excellent coffee and food. Bowls are highly recommended. Community engaged as well.

New spot in town off of 6th.

Great place with fast and pleasant service. This is a good place to have breakfast and coffee before skiing

A nice wonderful Coffee bar with excellent good tasting food and hard working loyal caring staff featuring the 1 and only Geneva. I always stop there a couple times a week and I always have a Chocolatte Chip Cookie and Vegan Bliss Ball which are both extremely dellicious. I always enjoy my experiences at Mudsharks and I am always happy to go there. Hey everybody peace out and have a nice day. Cheers.
