Review River City Coffee Roasters - Powell River

My personal favourite place for vegan/veggie food. The maple walnut sausage is heavenly. It's flavourful, got great texture, and doesn't taste like soy!! Their smoothies are always a great go to, very filling and delicious. Honestly everything here is amazing, just watch your wallet. I came here for lunch with my parents and it cost $75 ! Worth it but a bit crazy I think! I would definitely be a regular if I could afford it.

The perfect marriage of food and caffeinated beverages. We've been going to RCC (That's what I call it, because I'm hip) for 11 years now and they have been my rock and foundation all that time. While other stores, good ones, came and went, RCC has stayed the course, providing constantly great coffee (a beautiful raspberry white chocolate mocha) and their staple, The Lumberjack, breakfast wrap. Besides those, which my wife and I adore, I've always been partial to a good Reuben and RCC makes a fantastic one. Only Magpie's Diner in Cranberry comes close to it (and they do come close. I'd love to see a Reuben-Off competition some day. But I digress). Well, I was positively gobsmacked to learn from my wife, who is The biggest lover of Benedicts I've ever known (Cumberbatch included), that our favourite coffee shop has done the unthinkable - put the Reuben into a Benny! Never have I ever imagined such a wondrous cohabitation of our chosen culinary loves. So we made arrangements and set off at the earliest opportunity - The next morning as it was late when the discovery made itself known through my darling wife's vocal apparatus. Now I was cautiously optimistic. I really didn't know if it was possible to capture the beauty of a Reuben in an egg dish, let alone a benny. So, I was prepared for a good benny that had some ingredients you also found in a reuben. I was not ready for what my brutish tastebuds encountered, which was perfection. I don't know how, but they magicked a reuben and a benny together and retained the unique qualities of both. Bravo. I provide pictures for visual, if not olfactory or taste-ory evidence. Incidentally, someone needs to make computers scratch and sniff.

This place is really great, best coffee in town, excellent sandwiches (especially the reuben). Baked goods are tasty. That said their hours are terrible for how good they are. They close at 2 and aren't open on weekends. Staffing issues apparently. When they are open can't recommend them highly enough.

Friendly service, strong coffee, had a lovely breakfast burrito, definitely returning

Great little coffee shop with amazing breakfast choices. Very friendly staff and relaxing environment!

Went here on a whim because they were open a little later than another coffee shop we were looking at and I'm really glad we did. Food was incredibly tasty. Really good grilled cheese. I had the hummus as well which was just super fresh. Coffee was also pretty good. No complaints on that front, but it was really the food that made this place stand out.

Popped in to pick up an order a friend made for a tray of goodies. Staff were nice and accommodating. Went in, verified I was there to pick up the order and the order was ready fairly quickly after.

I had the most lovely bergamot latte. The barista told me they were able to veganize almost anything on their menu!! I also enjoyed an date and oat square that was above average. excellent service and the house roasted beans were impressive 🙂🙂

It isn't a visit to PR without stopping in at River City. I love everything about this place!!

I have eaten here more times than I can count. The food is consistently good and the coffee is locally roasted. Great scones and salads.
