22 Best Cafes near Sidney

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“Have had sandwiches and baking during the day before and all was wonderful. The porchetta sandwich was ahmazeballs. Finally got in for dinner tonight. Absolutely top shelf experience. The service was attentive, knowledgeable and subtle. I had the ling cod croquette appetizer: texture super smooth and the pickle sauce was perfect. For a main I had the rolled turkey with rhubarb, fiddle heads and turnip. Beautiful plating and the dish was delicious. The rhubarb was very subtle and tender and turkey was juicy and flavourful. Desert was the brûlée tart with rhubarb sorbet. Again delicious. If only we lived closer this would become a frequent special event restaurant. 100 percent, you should try it. If you are heading to the ferry, try and take the time to sample this hidden gem.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Lovely little cafe. Excellent lattes.“

“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.“

“Fantastic service, with a smile. The Americano I had was as smooth as the cream I poured into it! No bitterness, and no biting aftertaste. They roast their own beans, so, unlike those American franchise places that burn the beans beyond recognition, these folks have mastered the fine art of crafting the perfect roast coffee bean.

Could change the name of that drink to a “Saanichtono”, to emphasize the localness of it all.

Bonus points for having a bike lock area!! I will be riding up here when winter ends. 🙂“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Highly recommend the chicken quesadilla, that was so good!“

“Fast, friendly and delish!“

“Such a lovely restaurant cafe! We had a fabulous time and enjoyed the food. Exceptional people. We will be back. Highly recommend.“

“My friend and I went here for dinner today while waiting till it got dark out to see the Christmas lights in the gardens. It was our first time eating here and we loved it, the food was great we both had the burger and I had a Christmas Tree gingerbread cookie for dessert. I was satisfied with the service I received especially when I thought I had to pay for my meal at the end instead of at the beginning, so when I realized that when I saw the cashier, the staff behind the counter were really kind to let me set my tray down while I go back to my table to get my purse with my wallet and I didn't have to go back through the lineup to complete my order to do it so I was really happy. Overall food and customer service was great“
