Where Flavor Meets Community
Bringing people together, one cup and one crepe at a time.
A cozy spot for coffee, crepes, and conversation
At Beans and Banter, we believe that the best moments happen over good food and great company. Whether you’re stopping in for your morning coffee, grabbing a crepe as you explore historic Ladysmith, or settling in for a chat with friends, we’re here to make every visit feel like home.
A love for food.
A passion for community.
Beans and Banter started with a simple idea: bring people together over food that sparks joy. We set out to create a space where flavors are bold, conversations flow, and every guest feels welcome. From our very first pour to the last bite of a made-to-order crepe, we’re all about quality, creativity, and connection.
Crepes with a twist, coffee with character
We’re not your average cafe. Our menu is built around delicious, made-to-order crepes—from sweet indulgences like the Apple Caramel Crepe to new favorites like the Chicken & Mushroom Crepe. Paired with locally roasted coffee and handcrafted drinks, our menu is designed to satisfy cravings, big and small.
Great food. Great coffee. Great for the planet.
Delectable Belgian crepes.
Our crepes are anything but ordinary. Whether you love the classic Belgian batter or need a gluten-free or vegan option, we’ve got you covered. Plus, we keep things exciting with a daily sweet or savory special—because the best meals are the ones that surprise you.
Waffles, your way.
Some flavors deserve options. That’s why any of our sweet crepes can be made as a golden, fluffy waffle instead. Same delicious ingredients, just in a crispy, cozy form—because great food should fit your cravings.
Coffee that hits just right.
A great cup of coffee makes all the difference, and we don’t take that lightly. That’s why we proudly serve rich, full-bodied espresso from Vancouver-based Caffè Umbria, a roaster with three generations of Italian coffee craftsmanship. Whether you’re here for a quick pick-me-up or a slow sip, we’ll make sure your cup is just right.
Doing our part for the planet.
Sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s part of who we are. We minimize waste wherever possible, using biodegradable and compostable coffee cups, lids, and straws because great coffee shouldn’t come at the earth’s expense. Every small choice adds up, and we’re committed to making the right ones.
Good Coffee, Great Company—Four-Legged Friends Welcome!
At Beans and Banter, we believe coffee tastes even better with good company—including your furry friends! Our dog-friendly outdoor patio is the perfect spot to sip, snack, and relax with your pup by your side. So grab a latte, order a crepe, and enjoy some fresh air—we’ll have a water bowl waiting! 🐾
Join me on the patio - we have treats!
