We went this coffee shop every day during our Victoria trip. The coffee was really great, and lots of vegan breakfast options.
Only issue is it opens a bit late on weekends and holidays.

Great spot for a pastry and caffeinated beverage in the downtown area of Victoria. They have lots of choices, both sweet options and savory, as well as Breakfast and Lunch options.
The Breakfast Wrap, covered with grill marks, looked and tasted amazing. They have a few wraps to choose from and sadly, I don't remember which one we had ordered. It was a generous sized wrap and every bite filled with flavor. The S'Mores Brownie and Ukee Bar were both every bit as rich and decadent as they look. The Sausage Roll was unique with the flaky outer texture combined with the soft snap of the sausage.
They are definitely an amazing place to start your day (they open at 10am) as you're checking out the downtown area!

They have a Cashew soy black bean taco crumble, that is amazing in the wrap. Their yolky pesto sauce is also very nice, that came in a muffin sandwich. Remember to ask for hot sauce in the side, the flavor is a bit mild without.
We also had a brownie with thick icing, and really enjoyed that.

My partner and I came here for breakfast on our first day during a trip to Victoria and came back three times after for hot drinks and a cake. There are plenty of options, mostly vegan junk type food with fake meats. Staff are friendly, and service is quick.

Awesome cafe with tons of creative plant based options, the smoothies were great. The owner was so kind and chatted with my family for a while because my dad had complimented the cafe and we were visiting from another province. The person at the counter was wonderful, managed many orders at once. Would recommend :)

mostly simple & convenient breakfast options like wraps and sandwiches. nothing too fancy or particularly fantastic — had the bacon & tomato wrap (was mostly egg) and the cheezy sandwich.
the best thing i tried was actually the green eggs & ham deli sandwich that i got at half price near closing time. ? would be happy to have that again!

This place had the best iced Americano in Victoria. I liked it because it tasted like savory coffee without any acidity! The atmosphere feels like a coffee shop on the first floor of a company building. The terrace had a bad smell. Still, the coffee was strong and so delicious that I plan to visit again! This was the first place in Victoria where I found coffee to be delicious haha. Recommended!

Can't believe I've slept on this place for so long!
On the hunt for a vegan breakfast sandwich, I ducked in... and was blown away when I saw that the WHOLE DAMN MENU is plant-based.
Crippled with sweet, sweet indecision, I was helped by the friendly, welcoming folks behind the counter. Their suggestion did not disappoint. Can't wait to go back and try every single Item on the menu.
Prices on baked goods are VERY reasonable even for a non-vegan place.
Dropped by on Sunday afternoon for coffee. Great service from the employee working solo. Date square was one of the best I've ever had!

Works in a pinch with lots of vegan options, but more convenience vegan food with lots of fake meat. Should add more whole food options. Not a sit down spot.

I got a sandwich here for lunch it was very good. The service was friendly and fast. For plant based options the prices are very reasonable and there are many options. The cafe was pretty quiet, not many people there.

Grabbed a couple of things to go here and I had to write a review because when I asked what their breakfast sausage was they said they make it in house. Huge fan of when vegan places do that. Tasty food, very filling, really enjoyed it and super easy to grab something quickly when you’ve got a ferry to catch.
