An endearing little downtown bakery & coffee shop with a cozy atmosphere. They've got some very tasty treats, and I'm always excited to try out their creative drink options. However, the quality of the shop (and its rating) is weighed down by an ill-mannered barista.I enjoy stopping by this place en route to the public library. It's conveniently located down the street! I've never been disappointed by their beverages. I like how they come up with themed rotating specialty drinks, it's a charming little twist that makes me excited to come back to see what other things they come up with.I love their baked goods, particularly their scones. I always get a scone when I go here, you just can't go wrong. Warm, delicately sweet, and often infused with fruit, delicious. Love em.The only area I feel this place comes short is its service. Most workers I've encountered there have been very friendly, and I appreciate their dedication & service. They make me feel like a person rather than a number. However, there's one barista who's pretty rude. No greeting you, no asking 'how may I help you' or anything within those lines, just a blank stare until you say something. And I encounter them so often, it really soils my experience.I'm not looking to be treated like royalty. I don't expect to engage in a conversation. It's just nice to be greeted. Nice to not be stared at awkwardly until you say something. It's glaring, and especially in contrast to everyone else who are actually friendly. Employee etiquette is just that important.That's the one thing holding this place back from being 5 Stars, and it's a shame, because everything (and everyone else) is lovely.

Super cute coffee shop with nice workers! I love their lemon cookies and scones. The coffee is great, they just don’t have as many sugar free options.

I’ve been here several times now and am finally leaving a review. The atmosphere is great, the employees are always kind and I love that I can bring my kids here while I get some work done because there’s a spot for them too! My favorite thing is their Surprise Me Cup. It gets me out of my comfort zone and trying new fun flavors of coffee.Kid-friendliness: They have such a cute spot that keeps kids entertained. Books, blocks, toys, table and chairs.

Cup Cakes are great.

Ordered vanilla chai fraps, but got chunky ice with a hint of flavor. The scone and bread were delicious.

I tried this local coffee shop for the first time a çouple of weeks ago. The cappuccino flavorless. I gave it a second try this past Saturday with the same item because I love cappuccinos and again it was flavourless. I don't think I'll give this shop another try. I was warned about the cappuccino not being a good item to order.
Blume & Flour is my favorite stop when I am in Victoria! The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful.You won’t be disappointed with anything on the menu

Very clean and kid friendly coffee bar. Staff was very welcoming. We will have to come back again.

The place is cute. Staff is nice. Very kid friendly. In fact, its crawling with kids. There are toys piled on every surface. How cute. But I just paid $6.50 for a small latte. What?! No! That's outrageous. I don't think I'll become a regular here, unfortunately.
