“Wonderful experience all around! The server Natalie was very attentive & proactively offered replacements upon hearing of some dietary restrictions. She genuinely engaged in conversation & checked on us regularly providing a hot water top-up. The food was delicious with plenty of variety & options. In addition, we had a lovely view of the Italian Gardens.“

“Lovely little cafe. Excellent lattes.“

“Best service ever. Friendly environment, great ambiance. Best food ever, fast and efficient, Always above and beyond“

“This has been my favourite coffee shop for a long time, and it just got even better now that they’re open on Friday and Saturday evenings.

During the day, it’s my go-to spot for excellent coffee and one of the best breakfast menus around. Everything is consistently fresh, delicious, and made with care, and the staff always make you feel welcome.

The new evening service is fantastic. The food is absolutely delicious, the wine selection is great, and the cocktails are beautifully crafted. The atmosphere transforms into the perfect place to relax with friends, enjoy a date night, or simply unwind after a long week.

It’s rare to find a place that does both breakfast and evening dining so well, but they have nailed it. Highly recommend, whether you’re stopping by for your morning coffee or spending the evening enjoying great food and drinks.“

“Love the “Hey Hash” breakfast and the honey latte with house made oat milk! I add cream to it!!! Everyone is so nice and this place is amazing! It is the Disneyland of Coffee. Come try it out for yourself, you’ll thank me later 🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“First time there, from Nanaimo for a Geocaching event. I had a London Fog and a Cranberry Lemon Scone. They were both tasty.“

“Great atmosphere, family run, great coffee, great sandwiches and the almond butter protein bar is tastey!“

“This is a quaint café with ample indoor and outdoor seating. It has very large windows and is pleasantly bright. The outdoor patio looks out on Victoria's Gorge; a very relaxing scene. Service staff are very friendly. All in all a pleasant place to spend some time. Be aware that it can be a little tricky to find since it is at the back of an apartment complex. I didn't have a chance to try out the food but it looks very good.“

“Sausage Pesto Muff Stack is the best thing on the menu 😋😋😋😋😋“

“Best coffee I’ve experienced in years ! Finally an espresso medium roast, delightful citrus nodes with a nutty subtle and savoury!“

“spiral cafe is the quintessential neighborhood cafe! it's like being at a friend's place for coffee“

“I highly recommend this small, cozy, homey place. The staff/owners are so friendly and the cook/chef, a wonderfully friendly woman came out a few times and chatted. I came for the German meal tonight and it was fantastic. The red cabbage was like my mom used to make and the schnitzel was pounded into perfection! Topped off with an awesome Black Forest … all deeeelicious.“

“Love their fresh foods. Favorite is their soup.“

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

“Amazing vibe, I like the quietness of the place, Sunday morning and not more than a few people here. Just read about the business and what its purpose is and I find this extremely incredible, having found out I have adhd and some other things going on in the past few years this really helps with being myself. Thanks so much for the wonderful cup of coffee.“

“Staff, coffee and food. Great looking place to relax“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good coffee but also amazing cookies“

“My girlfriend and I went downtown specifically to enjoy one of their delicious chai lattes. While I was paying for parking, a seagull pooped on me and my brand new hat. We still went to get a drink and told the baristas about the situation. They offered a rag to clean up and made us customers of the day. Definitely the best spot in town!“

“The owner is very community minded!“

“Walking along in Sidney & this cafe caught my eye! I’m so happy it did because I’ll be intentionally coming out here to visit from now on! The overnight oats were incredible & apple toast is like nothing I’ve ever had before! 10/10 perfection!“

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

“Went out to have coffee with my parents on a Sunday afternoon (March 8, 2026), we had a long conversation and accidentally stayed past closing as we lost track of the time. The staff member was super nice, they didn't say anything and they began the closing ritual of cleaning and shutting down equipment, we finally noticed and figured out they were closed, we apologized for staying past, and they were absolutely lovely about it, so huge kudos for nice people behind the counter.

Everyone's drinks and treats were very good too, I had an Orange Pekoe tea, I have come to expect tea to be an afterthought in cafes but it was exceptional here, the teabag was a disposable manually loaded deal and the tea was of an excellent quality so major kudos there as well.

My father's coffee was well made and he enjoyed it greatly, and my mother's hot chocolate was splendid.

The atmosphere was very nice, I will definitely visit again!

Huge thumbs up!“

“Stopped in here last Saturday afternoon while visiting Victoria from Calgary and honestly it might be the best coffee I've had on this whole trip. The lavender latte was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and the barista was super friendly and patient while I figured out what I wanted. The space has a really warm, lived-in feel with plenty of natural light coming through the front windows. Definitely adding Habit Coffee to my list of reasons to come back to this city.“

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

“## Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a wonderful experience here! The shop itself is incredibly **cute** and has such a welcoming atmosphere.
More importantly, the service was top-notch. I originally ordered my drink iced, but it was brought out hot by mistake. The staff was so kind and professional about it—they **remade it instantly** without any hesitation. The new drink was absolutely **delicious** and well worth the wait.
It is rare to find a place that matches great quality with such genuine hospitality. I will definitely be back! ---“

“We were visiting Victoria and by chance met Fadi- one of the owners who told us about his family’s cafe. We LOVE Lebanese food so decided to check it out for lunch. We had chicken shawarma donairs and tabouleh and loved it. But most of all his family is so kind and warm and the cafe is super cute! Thank you!“

“Just brewed up a V60 batch of the Brazil Jaguara Crazy, and it is crazy good. I’ve long been a fan of Discovery Coffee’s single origins for their light roast pourover-friendly profiles, and since moving from the island to Vancouver I have started ordering it for delivery. This stuff is a smash hit.“

“The best coffee and customer service ever“

“This little cafe is phenomenal! I'm traveling⛴️ from Alberta and have been here twice. The food has been fresh, tasty and I absolutely loved it each time! The latte and cappuccino was delicious! They have lots of options too so if you are vegetarian, vegan or even keto, they've got stuff for everyone. If you are keto there's a vegetarian quiche that I think would count as low carb. They have great sweets too.
They even have complimentary lemon water. I highly, highly recommend this café! It can be a tad bit pricey, but worth every penny! It's a good thing I don't live here, I'd come here everyday and my poor bank account would beg for mercy.

Plus the service was phenomenal too. This place is such a local gem 💕“

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

“This is such a great little place, the lattes are amazing. Maybe even a match for Fantastico or better. Such friendly staff and the musical selection is really cool. Definitely good for a sensory seeker because it can be loud, but I enjoyed it—massaged my brain in the right way.“

“Don’t listen to the 1 stars. This is hands down the best kept secret in Victoria. They have the best matcha I’ve ever had, along with amazing service. Minimalist yet elevated.

Oh and to the 1 star person below me: just go to Tim Hortons next time and save yourself the hassle.“

“Breakfast“

“Very nice cafe. We ordered cookies, and they were absolutely delicious. Daniel was very friendly and helpful. As a Google Local Guide, I highly recommend this café. It is one of the best cafés in town, with excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“A great place to come for a coffee and a bite to eat especially if you're able to sit outside on the patio. It faces west so it's frequently sunny and the fountain makes it very peaceful and relaxing. Great place for people watching.

“Just had a BLT sandwich here at Dagwoods. OMG it was so good I could eat another“

“We were searching for a coffee shop open at 6:30 and stumbled upon this place.

What a great find! We got an Americano, a latte and two breakfast sandwiches. They were to die for! The lady working there in the back scrambled the eggs fresh and it was seriously awesome. I can’t remember the last time a breakfast sandwich was that good outside our house. Highly recommend this place and we will be back!“

“Makes the best matchas in the area“

“Had a fantastic experience at this boat yard and will definitely be coming back the next time I need to haul out. The staff were accommodating and helpful, reminded me of that good old fashioned Island hospitality. It's a busy yard yet they were able to book me in on short notice. I needed some help to reposition the boat stands and they were able to accommodate me in a timely manner. The nearby pub and cafe both had good food and was convenient since I wanted to focus on my boat project rather than making food. There is also a neat little consignment boat chandelier where I was able to stock up on a bunch of fuel filters for my Yanmar 2GM20F.“

“Soupa Cafe is a delicious Esquimalt treat! I love the egg salad sandwhich and all of the meals leave you feeling full and healthy. What a great spot to stop for lunch or dinner. There is plenty of tables for friends and family and the service you will get as a customer is special. Try dinning in and then going for a walk along the beautiful songhees walkway; you won’t regret it!! 🌈 🌊 🦭“

“Family friendly, friendly staff, dedicated team ❤️“
