“Fantastic lunch catering, thanks Empourium! The charcuterie platters and desserts were a huge hit.“

“My stay was 29-31/8, it's a really nice place:- the resort is beautiful, the room is comfortable, the hot tub is excellent, the starry night is amazing, the staffs are friendly and helpful.

“A bustling, warm atmosphere that even includes a nice sheltered patio in the back.

A vibrant variety of hot and cold foods, pastries, specials and drinks.

Great service (even at full capacity the cashier asked me if I wanted sweetener with my matches latte)

And clearly beautiful and mindful presentation in their drinks!

Parking: Street parking is expensive at $6/hour and hard to come by so plan to arrive early. I still say it is worth it to visit here.“

“This is my go-to coffeeshop downtown. I usually get tea (the hangover tea is great, even when you're not hung over) or hot chocolate or ice cream. The staff are laid back, kind, welcoming. It's a very homey place. I also appreciate that they have good baked goods, including 2 GF options.
Sit out front in the sun if its nice out; good place to people watch.“

“The food and drink are fresh and lighter, which gives you a lovely easy day feeling ~“

“The owner is very community minded!“

“I had the absolute pleasure of trying the best salted caramel mocha I’ve ever had at this coffee shop! The balance of flavors was perfect, with just the right amount of sweetness and a subtle hint of saltiness that made each sip delightful. The barista who made it clearly knows his craft—every detail was spot on, from the rich, smooth texture to the beautiful presentation. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch coffee experience!“

“The absolute best Americano I've ever had! A definite stop while in Victoria.“

“If you are looking for a delightful latte experience, you must visit the warm, inviting wood deck of Macciato Caffe & Paninoteca. I was able to cozy up my scooter right next to my table and sip and savour their delicious Lavender Latte while watching the florist from “Flowers on Top” select gorgeous peonies from their spring flower selection across the street. Gorgeous spot, simply delightful!“

“Love this place. Fantastic fresh food, great staff!!“

“The best coffee and customer service ever“

“Since Good Earth has been in the Bay Centre, I have always enjoyed my time with all the staff. Notable shout out to Clara
+ Earl and Hazel (past employees )
I have always enjoyed sitting in with my coffee and never felt rushed. The food is always good, and I love seeing the new items they rotate through.

Dietary restrictions: They offer a clear visible labelling of their items with a easy to follow legend for customers to view.“

“The cafe is also full during the day on weekdays. The overall environment is very good. There is a large light-transmitting indoor area outside where you can sit, so you don’t have to worry about not having a seat.
"creamsicle fog" tastes very good, relatively sweet
"London fog" is super delicious! It's British milk tea. The tea has a very strong aroma and is not sweet!“

“has to be my favourite coffee shop on vancouver island, friendly and kind staff, amazing coffee, all food made w/ care and love, beautiful atmosphere, this cafe hugs u, it will welcome u in w/ open arms, ps do urself a favour and try a sea salt choco chip cookie, u will thank me later, stay cool quince family“

“Gigi's is a rad local cafe with freshly made baked goods (I get a muffin every time) and delightful coffee. They support the local arts by showcasing local artist's physical talent (trinkets, mugs, paintings) and also through hosting open mics and poetry/writers nights. They have a live musician play most Sundays for a few hours and the owner, Gino, sings some sweet Italian tunes at the open mics. So... yeah Gigi's has been a glorious addition to the Quadra Village, buy stuff there“

“Came to Java Jo's to get some work done. It was the first time coming here and the environment is super cute and retro. The service was phenomenal. The barista asked very specific questions to ensure I got my coffee how I liked it. Clarified how much sugar and checked how much space for cream. A well catered coffee snd delightful experience.“

“Good coffee but also amazing cookies“

“Great coffee, engaged staff, and a business with purpose!“

“The mocha here is very good. It has a good espresso taste and aroma but most of all a reach chocolate flavor instead of the ratio stuff that Starbucks uses. However the star of the shop is the Yonni Donuts Honey Cruller. It’s so airy and big and soft as the original Tim Hortons, when they used to make them in the stores. Not the American bought save money by making them in a factory and sending them not fresh to the store. This place rocks with its atmosphere and vibe.“

“Iluka Espresso is a cafe located on the Gorge. Check out their patio on a beautiful day or relax inside surrounded by beautiful furniture, greenery, and visually pleasing artwork. The seating options are plentiful but I found some of the tables a little small.

The staff were friendly and brought our food out in reasonable time. The food was pretty tasty! I would’ve loved to see some breakfast items that include eggs. I bet they’d make a killer breakfast sandwich.

The store hours are decent. Not open super early but early enough. Not open Mondays.

Definitely check out this cute coffee spot. Lucky for us, it’s close to home.“

“We are in Calgary Alberta and trying to find a special thing we could do for my boyfriend’s Mom for her Birthday out in Victoria. We thought we’d send her a little breakfast to brighten up her day. Cat’s Coffee and Cake did just that. Not only we’re we told the food was delicious, I asked them to write a little special note and they went above and beyond to make it look really nice and totally special. Thank You so much… 100 thumbs up from Calgary.“

“I had the best oat milk latte and chilli. the service was wonderful, and they were accommodative to my celiac allergy and replaced the complimentary bread with a gluten free brownie at no extra charge. i was so pleased i went back within the week. definitely a hidden gem and i wish i discovered this place sooner! i want to come by every time i’m in the valley if i can.“

“Breakfast“

“Love the matcha latte and the ginger cookies, great quiet place to do some work, thank you so much for the great service 🍵“

“I love the baked goods and the International nights!“

“Went in today to try out some delicious apple fritters and chocolate chip cookies my Husband was raving about!! Did not disappoint, absolutely delicious and soo home made tasting and fresh! Staff was absolutely amazing and friendly! The bad boy bagel was big enough for the two of us to share! We will definitely be back soon!“

“I’ll drive to get my beans!! Def my fav roaster on the island!! They also rock a mean raspberry scone. Yum!“

“Best pie we’ve ever had, the peach berry, the chicken and the beef meat pies are amazing, and then there is the staff, I’m sorry we didn’t get your name but you cook and serve and made our visit super special ❤️“

“Nice customer service, I haven't seen a few very curtouse staff recently. I don't know if they were switched to another location, but there are still a few of them. My drink is capuchino, latte, strawberry frappuccino, mocha crumble cookie with cream, cheese Denish.“

“Amazing service and delicious food!! Doug went out of his way for our catering and made a special allergy free lunch for me last minute ...AFTER already setting up our catering ! Amazing service needs to be recognized like this!! Amazing job !
Thanks so much for accommodating to my needs!“

“I've never had anything less than an amazing experience here. I know it's just coffee, but when it's usually the beginning of your day, it's always nice to have a plesant transaction first thing.The staff are always cheery and chatty. The people alone are more than enough reason to keep coming back! ✨️“

“This Starbucks is a daily (sometimes more than once!) stop for me. The baristas are super friendly, and make an effort to get to know their customers. You normally like a straw? They will ask of you want a straw. You prefer non dairy? They’ll remember. You like green tea with no sweetener with lunch? When you walk in at noon they’ll ask “your regular?” It’s not just about the coffee when the people are part of the experience. (But the coffee is good too!)“

“Had the best experience yesterday!! Abi and another guy with glasses accommodated all my needs and I had a fun time trying out a new drink. I wanted to switch out my spinach feta wrap for a grilled cheese, he did it with a smile and Abi helped me figure out customization for my drinks, they deserve a raise! Lol“
