Lavender Art Café is a Persian-inspired artisan café inside Nanaimo's Country Club Centre, blending Iranian culinary tradition with specialty coffee and locally sourced Vancouver Island lavender used in pastries and beverages. The café handcrafts signature tea blends — including cardamom, cinnamon, and green tea combinations — packaged in-house and unavailable elsewhere. Touring cyclists will find a warm, creative space with a broad menu spanning espresso drinks, iced beverages, Persian brunch plates, and house-baked goods.
