Nice atmosphere, but unreasonably expensive. 17 dollars for a breakfast sandwich. For 5 dollars you can wait for 10 minutes to get them to toast a bagel for you!

Good food but the service here is mid tier. Not very accommodating to table capacity, and wouldn’t let me sit at an open 4 person table when it was very slow? I work at a cafe myself and this is such a small request which shouldn’t be an issue in top customer service. Also, the espresso is bitter and not worth the price of almost 6$ for an iced latte. Being unbiased as possible, there are so many other local cafes in Victoria which excel in customer service, quality, and care. I highly suggest checking out grindstone cafe or Shatterbox! Finally, the staff have very open conversations on the floor which customers can hear, which just gives unprofessional vibes! Overall, good little cafe if you need a quick bite but isn’t the everyday type of place to go to

This is not a cafe it's a sit down restaurant. Can't even find menu, it was posted up on wall as a few pieces of paper. At a cafe you are supposed to be able to find the drink menu quickly...

Had breakfast this morning. We ordered the breakfast burrito and the Blackstone Benny. Both dishes were delicious. Have been eating here for years and it's always good. Keep up the good work!!!

I came here a few weeks ago and it is one of my favourite places to get brunch. Trust me the Bulgogi Benny does not disappoint! I love their hollandaise sauce that they make, it’s so buttery and creamy. The hash browns are nice and crispy too! The Turkey Panini was also really good as well! I liked how we can choose hashbrowns, a cup of soup or a house salad as a side, which comes with all their lunches! Their Morning Glory Muffin is a must! I will be defiantly go back to try their other muffins since there are lots of different options to choose from :)

I've eaten here a couple of times and find it to be slightly inconsistent.Sometimes I have delicious food and sometimes it is just okay.

Hadn't been here since pre Covid. Maybe now under new management, but found the warmth and friendliness a real pleasure, and the food was good too. There were 5 of us, and all ate different foods. The waitress enjoys her people connection.
