“Cute little location with friendly staff“

“Fast, friendly and delish!“

“I am a former bakery owner, service snob, and passionate foodie. I’m very fortunate to have this establishment in my neighbourhood as they do a great job. My main reason for visiting is the gluten free muffins and scones. I’m a celiac and I’m telling you- it is hard to get gluten feee baking right. These muffins/scones are moist, flavourful, and unique. Certainly worth a try for gluten free-ers and full-ers alike! Great work, Fresh Cup!“

“This just the best spot! You will find the loveliest people here and they have awesome coffee and treats!“

“Great original flavors with smooth espresso. I definitely recommend trying them out!“

“Always an amazing experience to enjoy brunch in the gardens at Charlotte and the Quail. The service is fantastic and they are so good about all my food allergies, I even get dessert! The brownie and carrot cake are delicious 😋 and gluten free!!“

“It is a wonderful place with good food and friendly people.“

“I love their coffee. I order the 5 pound bags on a regular basis, The Tanzania is my favourite.“

“We went there the first time we visited Sidney a few years back. We returned to Sidney after we decided to move to the Island and revisited while we were in town. Friendly staff, good coffee, and convenient location for folks who just want to walk around and it will make for a nice regular spot for after we relocate!“

“Love this place! Cozy atmosphere. Home away from home ❤️“

“Lovely Chocolate. Unexpected experience if not used to microwaved egg and Canadian breakfast bacon🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️“

“Lovely little cafe. Excellent lattes.“

“One of my favourite places to sit and watch the world go by. Great food, lovely staff, honestly if you haven’t been yet, Go!“

“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.“

“Family friendly, friendly staff, dedicated team ❤️“

“We hosted our wedding reception here and it was a spectacular night.

The venue itself is beautiful with a lovely space inside and a picturesque pond in the back.

The management, service, food, and bar program are all incredible and we'd recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you Morgan for all the help in making our wedding such a wonderful event!“

“Delicious sandwiches and baked goods, small, homey atmosphere, with a wide selection of tea and a good coffee menu.“

“Delicious breakfast sandwich and best hash browns in town! Food is always hot and fresh when it is served. Friendly service.“

“Spent 4 days at UVic for my daughter’s Performing Arts Provincials, and this little coffee shop became our morning routine. Every day started with their smooth delicious cappuccino and a simple, satisfying breakfast—reasonably priced and consistently good.

The staff were wonderful! They remembered us after day one, greeted us with smiles,

Now that provincials are over, I’ll miss my routine—that perfect coffee, the friendly faces, and the warm start to our days. If you’re on campus—student, parent, or visitor—don’t skip this spot. It’s a little gem!

“The cafe in the UVic MacPherson Library has the usual light eats and coffee/tea menu. There’s actually a fairly wide selection of sandwiches and baked goods. The variety of Numi tea is nice; I like their teas. The sandwiches are all of the prepackaged variety, but I thought my smoked salmon bagel was pretty good given that. The only complaint was that the greens on it were a little past fresh, and the bagel was just cold and probably would’ve been better warm or at least room temp. The salmon thankfully was fresh enough. It tasted like it would’ve been a really good sandwich if it had been freshly made, and I honestly prefer that over a fresh but mediocre sandwich. Note that I was there on Sunday, so it’s possible the selection may be fresher during the week. I also got a vegan cherry brownie which was great, chewy and moist, not too sweet. For a little university cafeteria I thought it was pretty good.
There’s lots of seating here but it is a library, so lots of students studying made it pretty busy, and this was Sunday, so while I was able to get a table without struggle, I would imagine it would be harder on weekdays. It was, as far as I was aware, the only place open on campus on a Sunday midday besides Starbucks and dining halls.“

“Stayed at the Pier Hotel the week of May 30th and the Cafe & Marker is excellent.“

“Delicious sandwiches and baked goods, small, homey atmosphere, with a wide selection of tea and a good coffee menu.“

“Great place for Brunch. The wait was well worth the food and very friendly staff! Will be back Ed“

“Stopped by here while waiting for my flight and was pleasantly surprised. I was originally going to go to Spinnakers, but couldn’t justify paying almost $30 for a burger.

I ended up getting the buffalo chicken sandwich for $11.95 and it was generously stuffed with chicken. Overall, it was very good and a solid value. The woman working there was super friendly and happy to share ingredient information and answer questions. Definitely a great option if you’re looking for something tasty and reasonably priced before your flight. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Located across from the British Columbia Museum Mary’s is the ideal stop after visiting the museum. Great foods, fast service and fun atmosphere“

“Great service, even better food. I like the more limited menu avoiding death by choice. Everything I've had so far if delicious. I'd almost order with my eyes closed. Don't expect to dine in though, the few seats inside are usually taken!“

“Delicious matcha lattee and spinach pastry. Soo good. Highly recommend !“

“Delicious breakfast sandwich and best hash browns in town! Food is always hot and fresh when it is served. Friendly service.“
