The Broken Paddle Coffee House

What happened!?! Wrong order, no recipe for latte, and a very sad egger! Perhaps it was the weekend staff? Some is policy I guess, ordered two broken eggers a latte and a hot chocolate, received one egger, a small latte and hot chocolate. The egger was a lot smaller than I'm used to from the broken paddle and needed some serious love, heavy on cheese, weak on ham and greens and seasoning! The latte is certainly not a three to one ratio, as a matter of fact if you order the 16 oz?(didn't we go metric in 1970?) They charge you for more warm milk, same amount of espresso... so a watered down latte while there is free milk or cream for coffee on the side table. I've been going here for years though it has been about 6 months since I've visited, the owner was not there, while the latte recipe is policy shared among many coffee shops for more profit, the egger used to be a great little sandwich, one of the best I've had in Victoria, now... I pictured the good side.

Want to drink coffee, eat snacks and work on your laptop? Avoid!

Got asked to leave because a regular wanted my table. I was a paying customer and present for less than an hour!

Amazing spot, a great place to stop mid-way on the galloping goose. Delicious baked goods, excellent lattes and some puzzles from the kiddos. An easy and short bike off the main trail. Highly recommend!

This is the best place to get espresso-based coffee for miles around! The owner-operator is a life-saver in addition to a guardian of wayfaring out-of-towners (from Ottawa) like ourselves! Your space, manner, calming influence and exceptional coffee made our journey to Creyke Point on 21-August-2025 a joy! Thank-you so much!

Great place, one of the best iced lattes I’ve ever had, and shockingly reasonable pricing. The best part was being able to talk to the owner. One of the most genuine humans I’ve ever talked to. Very real and authentic. Clearly loves what she does. I’m from Ontario and just stopped in on a day of travels and I’m still thinking about our interaction days later. I feel like sometimes you find people along the way that really impact your life and they don’t even know it. Definitely one of those situations. Wish I had gotten her name and could thank her for chatting with me.

Came here for the first time today and will definitely be back when I'm in the area next. My friend and I had a nice chat with the owner, she was very chill and easy to chat with. Coffee was delicious!! Loved the vibes in the café too, very laid back.
