There are many places to stop for coffee on Gabriola. When I’m with my husband he usually chooses Harvest Thyme. He likes their french press method of making coffee and the Gabriola Coffee Company dark roast. Harvest Thyme has a comfortable setting blending natural foods store and healthy choices lunch cafe, with seating both inside and out. This is a great place to meet up with friends and lounge about gabbing, drinking your favorite beverage and snacking on their delicious muffins.
