“Always a special evening to dine at Butchart Gardens. The food is creative, delicious, presented attractively on the plate. The service is always terrific and the ambiance, both of the house, that now serves at the dining room, and the views to the Gardens (or spectacular Christmas light display this time of year) makes for such a memorable evening.“

“Love this place. I first came here several years ago and was shook by the smell of their in-house baking. The coffee cards are nice too if you're a regular. I developed a passion for chess by playing on their tables here, which have boards painted on the table tops.“

“Excellent coffee. Best coffee shop in Victoria and is independent. Really intimate setting with nice places to sit relax and visit.“

“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!“

“Was looking for caffeine and soup and ended up with an iced Americano and congee? Never expected to see congee but given my dental procedure just prior, I decided to give it a try. Congee was amazing! Not what you’d expect from a Chinese congee and in the best way. Americano was super smooth without the over-roasted bitterness of some better known coffee brands. I was on the island for a visit and will be back at my next opportunity.“

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

“Fast, friendly and delish!“

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

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

“Koffi serves some of the best soup and delicious bread that I’ve ever eaten. And I should know, because I had some at lunch today. And I had it gratis..because the lovely staff could see how frustrated I was that my new debit card would not work. Now what businesses give out free soup…not many! So thanks Koffi!!“

“My first visit to Discovery Coffee on Blanshard street in Victoria on October 9, 2025. I was told to definitely try it and I got there at 10:10 and had to wait over 10 minutes to put in my order for a Cappuccino. And another 10 minutes to pick it up. My drink was OK but nothing special. I would not wait 10 minutes again, if there is a line up next time I am in town and decide to try it.“

“went for birthday. service so friendly and kind. was treated to a slice of banana bread topped w/cream, a candle on top and she sang happy birthday to me😊 definitely will go back“

“Ok coffee, not super attentive on quality of shots or maybe need more training. The vibe to customers is very cold. Employees seem miserable and really need to smile and make customers feel warm and happy. Im a coffee critic and go to all coffee shops. In vancouver and victroria. I would say make a stop to try it. But try other local roasters first.“

“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“

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

“I LOVE Blenz. I’ve been going to Blenz for over 10 years all over BC. This specific Blenz made my drink (matchachillo with yogurt and real powdered cinnamon blended in) PERFECTLY! The staff were super nice and sweet even though I had 2 kids with me and one of them was crying. Super nice and cozy feel. ❤️“

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

“Skip the “coffee” at the Empress and have a delicious cappuccino or pour over from Milano Coffee. The pastries and savories looked delicious too!“

“I absolutely loved my visit here. On our only rainy day during a recent vacation, we popped in for a hot drink. I ordered a Mocha and a Raspberry filled donut. Both were really good but the donut?! SO GOOD.
The service was warm and friendly. I think the person helping us really liked it when I described how I was going to smooth my donut right into my face. Lol. He laughed anyway...
This was a lovely local experience. Thank you!“

“The owner is very community minded!“

“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.“

“Breakfast“

“This place is my go-to favourite coffee shop! The coffee is delicious, the pastries are so good, and everyone working there is a truly awesome human being.“

“The best coffee and customer service ever“

“I wandering around the city I I usually do and I came here for a quick rest. I enjoyed the vibe. It was quiet, people socializing while others were quietly working. I ordered an iced moka and I had it in my hands very quickly. Staff were cheery and I was back out in the world continuing my meandering.“

“Fantastic location , hidden gem“

“This Scandinavian coffee shop is a refreshing change from the usual coffee scene. It’s a simple, calm space where the focus is on quality and care — every cup is brewed with attention, and the staff are happy to share what makes each coffee unique. It wasn’t what I expected, but it turned out to be one of the best coffee experiences I’ve had. Definitely worth a visit if you’re curious to try something different.“

“A wonderful local coffee experience.

Seating for ~15. Lots of free parking. No drive-thru. Local artwork on display. Wi-Fi. Collect rewards points.

Great selection of snacks and a wide choice of beverages. I just had the cheddar bagel with cheese, lemon loaf and a London Fog made with oat milk.

Remember to recycle and say hi to Eric!“

“great spot and great folks running it. everyone there is super welcoming. some of the freshest matcha around!“

“Came highly recommended, the coffee did not disappoint.
Ordered one of the featured blends in an espresso, it was smooth delicious and came with some nice sparkling water which was a wonderful pallet cleanser.
the pastries where also good and paired well with the coffee.
The staff was not super helpful or polite it had the strange phenomenon where the better the coffee the more the baristas act like Daria.
but the pretentiousness does not retract from the extremely enjoyable coffee. but does keep it from a perfect score.“

“We really enjoy coffee and treats and occasionally lunch in this lovely spot. The staff are great, the venue charming. The outdoor water views are beautiful. The only thing I would suggest, is to add few savoury baked goods, for those of us without a big sweet tooth. Savoury scones, sausage rolls etc for a small sustaining snack😊“

“The bus for my return ferry was coming in just one minute, and I really wanted to say I was sorry and ask if you could prepare it quickly. But with my limited English, all I could say was “the bus…!” Seeing me so flustered, the staff kindly hurried without getting upset. I was truly grateful, though I also felt bad for rushing, and I ended up running out without even saying a proper goodbye. Thankfully, I caught the bus.

Thank you so much for that moment. The coffee was really delicious, and out of gratitude I want to visit again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
ありがとうございます🙇‍♀️“

“During the protest on Feb 19 I came in to get tea and coffee. I like to support small businesses like this. Nice clean place. Vax pass required to sit in but not to take out. Which was nice. I had a lovely girl serve me and we talked about the egg bites. I thanked her and went to leave and had a woman cruse at me and then threaten to hit me. I kindly asked if she was having a bad day and needed a hug. I then began to record her I case she did proceed with what she said. I want to apologize to all people who were there trying to enjoy a peaceful day, and the the lovely staff who are just trying to do their job in a world that’s gone nuts. Sorry that this woman felt the need to be ignorant and violent to a person who was peacefully and politely getting a tea and coffee. This behaviour in older adults is embarrassing. And I am sorry it happened in your nice establishment. Hopefully it won’t happen again. I’d like to post the woman’s picture since she threatened me. But I’ll save her the embarrassment. Peace and love to you all. Enjoy your coffee and food.“

“Cute, cozy, phenomenal! Savannah is so sweet and wonderful and made the experience even better! The Golden Sunrise was an absolute work of art and delicious, and putting the cashew cheese in the soup made it even tastier! And those pickles... absolutely incredible! Highly recommend and immensely appreciate all of this. Thank you Savannah, all of Nourish, and my wonderful friend for this!“

“We ordered 4 bags online to be shipped to Edmonton, they were sent promptly but on arrival we noticed our 5lb bag had turned into a 300g bag on its journey over haha. I let them know and with no questions asked they sent us another 5lb bag right away! Love the coffee and love the service. Life long customer from now on!“

“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.“
