50 Best Coffee Shops near Brentwood Bay

“We arrived for high tea to celebrate my friends birthday. Seated at a perfect table on the patio over looking the Italian gardens. Our server was lovely. Kept us informed of all of the delightful offerings. We are so grateful to live near this world renowned garden. The high tea did not disappoint from the presentation to the flavours. All of us were so pleased. We will return with more friends and tell everyone about our fabulous afternoon. A stroll in the gardens after topped it off to be a fantastic day.“

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

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

“Adorable gem in a sea of greasy spoons and high-cal, low-health local spots for breakfast, brunch, or coffee. Loved everything we had here from the bowls to the unique smoothies with a coastal theme and ingredients. They had a couple misses with the order but made up with it with smiles and a quick fix. Overall a couple dollars less than other places - higher quality ingredients and recipes. Good option if your group needs a combo of meat and plant-based options.“

“Had an awesome time playing here. Great folks and fun times. Thanks!“

“Fast, friendly and delish!“

“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 ~“

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

“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“

“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.“

“The best coffee and customer service ever“

“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!“

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

“I picked up a flat white. It was delicious. Well crafted and the service was friendly and I generally am quite chatty when I go to coffee shops and order. Nice chat on my way in and out. Thank you and I’ll be back again soon. highly recommended to those who like really good coffee.“

“Lovely location and building layout. Very open, a variety of seating options, and quality drinks (I especially enjoy their lattes and mint mochas). They also serve Cold Comfort ice cream sandwiches. Only downside is that many people know how good of a place this is, so it can get crowded :)“

“After golfing we usually stop at this place as it is on our route has lots of parking spots. Depends on the weather if it isn't hot outside we order coffees and baked goods. If it is hot outside we grab bottles of cold drinks and still find a few options on what baked goods would go well with our cold drinks.“

“Quince has such great energy. As soon as we walked in, we immediately noticed how warm, cute, and inviting the space felt. It may be small, but there is plenty of seating both inside and outside.

The coffee and espresso were delicious!

We are grateful for this experience and highly recommend Quince for great coffee, friendly energy, and a vibe that fits beautifully with the Sidney area.

Afterward, we took our coffee on a short walk to the oceanfront, where we found patio chairs and a grassy area to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. It was the perfect way to complete the experience.

Thank you, Quince!

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

“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 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.“

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

“Best soup ever fresh basil is actually fresh they aren't joking lol
As me and my mom left they even remembered our names from our order and said goodbye 🤣
Honestly the kindest company in any cafe I've been to“

“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“

“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.

“Alexander’s Coffee is a wonderful little café that captures everything we love about coffee culture. It’s small, quaint, welcoming, and has the kind of atmosphere that invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.

The staff greeted us with genuine kindness and great conversation, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

And yes… the coffee is excellent! ☕ Even better, the people are just as amazing.

This visit felt like a little blessing, especially because one of us is named Alexander. That’s what first drew us in, and we’re so grateful it did!

If you’re looking for great coffee, wonderful people, and a cozy atmosphere, we highly recommend stopping by.

“Fantastic cafe. Food, prices and service were great. Menu is pretty simple. Breakfast bagels/wraps and several coffee options. They had a hazelnut roast that I really liked.

We stayed at the inn next door for a week and got breakfast here most days. Ideal if you want to have a quick meal.“

“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.“

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

“One of..or is my favorite coffee roaster in Victoria. Amazing selection of specialty beans from different locations and all sourced by small farmers. They also make some delicious coffees but for me they are my go-to for beans to take home.“

“Family friendly, friendly staff, dedicated team ❤️“
