“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.“

“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 🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“One of my favourite places to go. Wonderful atmosphere. Great staff and the best tea in Victoria.“

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

“Best Iced Mocha EVER!!!!!! Visiting from Sequim Washington and just happened on this quaint little coffee shop!!❤️❤️“

“Great atmosphere and epic sandwiches! Recommend the Angry Bird! Top notch.“

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

“Great atmosphere and amazing service. Not to mention the high quality espresso!“

“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!“

“Fast, friendly and delish!“

“Nourishing dishes and lunches, with a homely ambience. Enjoy a 'feel good' experience at a reasonable price.

Highly recommend:
- bone broths
- smoked bacon

One recommendation: while me and my gf loved absolutely everything about this spot, our husbands (who are meat eaters and would not choose a spot like this normally) said they would have been more enticed to come if there was one additional dish on the menu: a classic hearty breakfast: eggs, bacon, sourdough. That's what they ended up ordering off the side menu, but there was no selling point for them from the menu at first glance. They have Nourish a 9.5/10 and said this would tip it over for them!“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“BEST APPLE FRITTERS“

“Discovery Coffee is a favourite spot when my wife abd I visit Victoris each March, and stay at the Chateau Victoria. We mostly go for a coffee, and sometimes a sweet treat. Today, we had to keep ourselves from ordering a delicious doughnut! I particularly enjoy a Sou Mocha. Yum! It is the perfect place to sit outdoors on a sunny/ish day!!“

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

“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.“

“Fig deli has the finest food in town. Amazing staff and great service“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Good coffee but also amazing cookies“

“The owner is very community minded!“

“Lovely coffee Shop nice and cozy. However we are visiting from the UK and was not aware of the tipping etiquette so… if you are travelling from aboard make sure you tip as otherwise the staff will serve other customers first rather than the order of buying the coffee. Don’t make the same mistake I did. 4 people that brought their drinks after me got prioritise as they obviously tipped 🤷‍♀️.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best place for a quick breakfast and a perfect latte. Makes an early Monday morning a little better. :)“

“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!“

“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.“

“## 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! ---“

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

“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 was going to leave a review for five stars after having delightful service from a very efficient team that was so helpful and kind. And then I ate the breakfast sandwich. And my world was reborn. These people need 11 stars, this breakfast sandwich was the most amazing breakfast sandwich I'd had in years and it rocked my world. They also had like five different types of sandwiches to choose from that were all eggy and cheesy and delicious and suited to the whim of the morning, what could possibly top that. Their interesting latte choices and great atmosphere tied it all together. Did I just find my new favorite Cafe?“

“The best coffee and customer service ever“

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