Coffee Shops near Saanich

“This Starbucks, in particular the drive through as I never go inside, consistently has some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. Kind, friendly, empathetic and skilled at their job workers. I often refer with my other business owner friends to "Starbucks their training model" with their employees to attempt to have workers that effective. Kudos to the hiring manager and training manager.“

“This Tim Hortons location in Royal Oak is very popular for members of the Portuguese community. It is very close to the Portuguese Church and Commonwealth Pool.The staff here are really friendly.I have been coming to this location for many years.This location is kept clean and tidy.I recommend this Tim Hortons for a relaxing place to enjoy a meal or just a good Ole cup of coffee.“

“Although I am not exactly the target audience for an English Tea room, I have to say that Butchart far exceeded any expectations! Although we have been to the Gardens many times over the last 4 decades, this is the first time that my wife suggested that we take “High Tea” before our stroll through the amazing gardens... And of course it proved to be a wonderful idea as I relished every bite and sip (we also had the 3-glass “taster” which paired with the food nicely)... I will absolutely be taking tea on our next visit!“

“I absolutely adore this tea room! I grew up in Victoria,but now I live in Oregon. I bring my friends to Victoria to visit all the time, and we always make sure to come to the White Heather Tea Room! The staff are kind, the food is delicious, and the Mad Hatter tea is phenomenal. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Pros: Delicious scones and good breakfast items. Would recommend the ranchero wrap and the white chocolate scone. Spacious, seats have backs, and big tables. Great coffee nice patio out back and cool atmosphere.Cons: Not the cleanest place I’ve been in. Lots of crumbs on the tables and rings on my coffee cup. Not a huge deal, but still.Overall: I go at least once a week because it’s a dimly lite place that’s nice to sit and have coffee-scone meditation time early in the morning. The place is always pack and by 9-10 these a line to the door. That speaks for itself. Would recommend a visit if you haven’t had the pleasure. Would also recommend the staff give the tables a wipe.“

“Drove from Langford to try the place. Website said it was open… it wasn’t.Edit**: I gave a harsh review a couple of months ago due to the restaurant not being open. But, that wasn’t fair. I went back yesterday and the churro’s were fantastic- hot and fresh. Surprisingly, for Victoria- affordable. Definitely would recommend!“

“Came here for lunch arriving right around 12:30. It was busy, but I was sat promptly. I had the Sourdough Tartine - which was delicious. The eggs were poached to perfection, while the romanseco sauce was the star of the show. I washed it down with the homemade kombucha. For the quality of product the price seems reasonable. The servers were clearly amidst their lunch rush but were still personable. Would recommend :)“

“Always such a treat coming in and being greeted by the most delightful staff and owner. Baked goods are amazing, quality food and coffee, great vibes and today I left with a delicious birthday cake. Thank you for the incredible vegan goodies!“

“They always do their best Vegetarian options: I love the avocado toast but the bread isn’t gluten free (which I need now)Dietary restrictions: Im dairy free and often eat vegan, it’s easy to do that here! However, if you’re off sugar, there are less optionsParking: There is parking, but it’s limited on busy days“

“Really enjoyed eating at Bean Around The World. Their sandwiches are delicious, and the coffee is top. There’s a lovely atmosphere, they’re very welcoming with friendly staff. Cool decor on the walls, and they played good music when I was in.“

“Pros: Awesome food that includes doughnuts to actually breakfast and sandwiches, but still a cafe format. Patio and location are both on point. Friendly, attentive staff. Chairs with backsCons: A bit pricey. Seating is better than 90% of the cafes in the downtown but it’s not a spot to post up, if you feel my meaning.Overall: I’m surveying all the cafes in the downtown and this is my favorite spot so far. Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere on the patio. Would absolutely recommend.“

“Great food & drinks!! Staff are incredibly kind and friendly. Doug the owner is the BEST! He always goes above and beyond for his customers and truly cares. They always remember your name which I find so sweet! You can tell Doug truly loves and cares about his community. :)“

“This deli has many Mediterranean items for sale which takes up most of the store. There’s a few tables in the middle of the store for people who want to sit and eat. And there is a big kitchen with display counters that are refrigerated for all the prepared foods that are made here. My favourites are spanakopita, and a Greek dessert bougatsa. Phyllo pastry wrapped around an inner filling of luscious not too sweet custard. I’ve never tried it, but I hear good things about their pizza. ? in fact, I think I go back today and try it.They also have lots of staff in the kitchen to serve you. Pictures next time.“

“If you are looking for a delightful latte experience, you must visit the warm, inviting wood deck of Macciato Caffe & Paninoteca. I was able to cozy up my scooter right next to my table and sip and savour their delicious Lavender Latte while watching the florist from “Flowers on Top” select gorgeous peonies from their spring flower selection across the street. Gorgeous spot, simply delightful!“

“The atmosphere was lovely! I spend my free time visiting cafes in Victoria, and by far Hey Happy is my favourite. I strongly recommend visiting! I got the coconut milk iced latte and the flavours were perfectly balanced making it my new go to drink.“

“Always welcoming, freindly, witty inclusive humor, laughter and great food. Accessable indoor seating as well as covered outdoor seating.I go often as able to support local good people. Feels like home.Vegetarian options: Specific vegetarian choices also can make some meat options vegetarian.Kid-friendliness: Customers of all ages welcomed. Toys and coloring available. I have also seen them put children's shows on the wall mounted televisionWheelchair accessibility: Indoor eating bathrooms accessable, one step to outside seating.“

“If you don't already know this amazing foodery, you gotta go! If you love pies, this is your place! Best pastry ever! And I know pastry!A unique and innovative approach to food. Tastes and ingredients are often in unusual combinations, but they are soooo good! Today was a spicy chorizo sausage pie. Oh my.There are also frozen take home meals when you don't know what's for dinner. We love the vegetarian lasagna and their shepherds pie.The staff are fun and personable and enjoy a bit of banter too.Go there! You will not be disappointed.Parking: There are parking spots available right out front.“

“Up with if not the single best latte you can get in town. An incredibly peaceful place that’s sometimes too quiet for boisterous chatter, but a great place to work or journal. A big selling point for me is that they carry Jagasilk teas and know how to prepare them.“

“Gigi's is a rad local cafe with freshly made baked goods (I get a muffin every time) and delightful coffee. They support the local arts by showcasing local artist's physical talent (trinkets, mugs, paintings) and also through hosting open mics and poetry/writers nights. They have a live musician play most Sundays for a few hours and the owner, Gino, sings some sweet Italian tunes at the open mics. So... yeah Gigi's has been a glorious addition to the Quadra Village, buy stuff there“

“I absolutely adore this coffee shop! Their soy latte with cinnamon powder is my absolute favorite drink, and it never fails to impress. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the service is always prompt. Can't recommend this place enough for fellow coffee lovers!“

“All of the caffeinated bevies we have tried here are delicious. And while sometimes it gets a little busy it is 100% worth the wait which is never too long because they are experts and super efficient (and friendly). Lots of seating too.Great to take the kids to as well ??“

“Nice Surprise: the coffee was perfect ( good flavour but excessively thick), their muffin was fresh and delicious and the couple working there were very pleasant. They offered me butter for the muffin and it was warmed up. Perfect coffee spot.Too bad I walked past it many times and never tried their stuff. Muffins, scones, Nanaimo bars, cookies, bagels, sandwiches, etc all looked fresh and tasty.“

“Stumbled across this very cute coffee shop down some stairs and it was amazing! George was a super friendly owner and very passionate about the coffee and it has several different specialty beans to try. The atmosphere was unique and very calming and I also loved that there were unique pastries like a matcha pineapple bun. It’s pretty newly opened so definitely worth a visit!“

“This is the go-to spot for your coffee's. They have a wide variety of options, from muffins, sweets, sandwiches, breakfast items, and lunch options. There is also a section of the store front in Emporium that sells a variety of locally made items. I go to the Emporium at least 2 to 3 times a week. The staff is friendly and quick. I have never waited too long for my coffees. As long as I'm working close to the Emporium I will be going there for my coffee breaks regularly.“

“One of the few places that's open early so I can grab some breakfast & a latte on my way to work. I love the egg bites.Also one of the few places that offer their matcha latte with or without sweetener (and when you do get it sweetened it's the perfect amount of honey & not too sweet).Baked goods are best with a coffee to balance out the sugary goodness - great spot for a break.Have also picked up whole roasted beans for home use in my French press & they're fantastic!“

“Nothing but 5 star. Lots of selection of foods pastries loaf slices cakes sandwiches and a selection of coffees and teas. Wonderful seating area and some seating outside on the main Street. Also a shop to purchase gift baskets and loose leaf teas. All in all a great addition to your day. Include it in your visit..“

“An absolute gem. This sandwich shop, run by one incredible woman, is a fresh and delicious stop. We had ten people from our soccer team show up, as we were playing in the area (Hey Elizabeth, PCOV won the final!) and got a fresh meal before our game. We didn't plan on all showing up to the same cafe but as skill presented, Elizabeth prepared our drinks and then our sandwiches with no stress and plenty of happy whistles and singing from the kitchen. We were patient but didn't wait long before eating. My "toastie" was a perfectly panini press-toasted bread with fresh spinach, Swiss, tomato, and mayo. It was perfect. My apple cider was "200 degrees" and had the best steamy aroma. I also grabbed a pecan tartlet and a tasty oat bar. I hope to be back again one day ❤️Wheelchair accessibility: All on one floor! Spacious washroom and dynamic seating area (huge patio, too).“

“Came here for a second time to get “the Canadian” breakfast sandwich and a “chicken pesto” panini. Then a vanilla late and the handsome man behind the counter recommended me the cortado, which was absolutely awesome. All around a great place, one of the best cafes in Victoria.“

“Super cute family business with friendly service. Although the coffee isn't the best, the breakfast bagels for around 7 CAD are amazing and the homemade banana bread aswell. Everything is very decently priced and tastes amazing. Perfect place for an affordable and quick breakfast! Not the most striking place frome the outside, but definitely more than worth the price!!!“

“I had high hopes for getting my breakfast sandwich fix at Rise and Grind Coffee after researching different breakfast spots in downtown Victoria and reading their reviews. Rise and Grind Coffee definitely hit the spot! I ordered the BLAST and it was very satisfying! The bacon was crispy, the avocado was fresh and creamy, it was nice and saucy without the bread getting soggy, and I felt full from the sandwich. I replaced the multi-grain bread with sourdough bread. The sourdough bread was not what I was expecting as it was soft. I ordered my sandwich "to go", and they make it easy to eat on the go, which I really appreciate. It was wrapped in an aluminum foil pouch and paper, which made it easy to consume the sandwich without any mess on the go. I will definitely be back!“

“What a gem ? Great coffee, chill atmosphere, yummy baked goods. What else do you need in life?The kind of place that brings you smile, forces you to slow down and appreciate the small wonders of life. Thanks folks for being a hidden gem. Take the time to look for it next time your in the Cook Street village neighborhood.“

“We were visiting Victoria and by chance met Fadi- one of the owners who told us about his family’s cafe. We LOVE Lebanese food so decided to check it out for lunch. We had chicken shawarma donairs and tabouleh and loved it. But most of all his family is so kind and warm and the cafe is super cute! Thank you!“

“Pilgrim Coffee House truly deserves a glowing 5-star review! The experience was exceptional from start to finish. The aroma of fresh beans greeted me upon entering, setting the tone for what turned out to be a delightful visit. The talented barista crafted a cup of coffee that was nothing short of perfection, showcasing their expertise and dedication to their craft.The cozy ambience of the cafe provided the perfect backdrop for enjoying my coffee and indulging in the delicious pastries they offer. The attention to detail in the decor and layout created a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.Adding to the positive experience was the server who was not only attentive and efficient but also incredibly kind and friendly. Their genuine warmth contributed to making my time at Pilgrim Coffee House even more enjoyable.All in all, I can't recommend Pilgrim Coffee House enough. From the fresh beans to the talented barista, charming ambience, delectable pastries, and the kind server, every aspect of my visit was top-notch. It's a place where I'll happily return for a wonderful coffee experience again and again.“

“I have come to Flourish a few times now, and every time I have a pleasant experience! The staff are always friendly and take the time to make you feel welcome. Every drink I have gotten so far I have enjoyed, I really like the barley tea, rose latte and Japanese purple latte.Would recommend this shop if you're interested in trying a new type of hot drink!“

“LOVE their vegan sandwiches. It’s a budget-friendly place with lovely staff and the BEST vegan brownie I’ve ever had. Lattes are great and milkshakes reportedly superb friends tell me. It’s a bustling place where finding a table at lunch can be a challenge but you worth that small hurdle.“

“I was just there yesterday with my mom and their new carrot cake loaf with generous cream cheese icing was delightful and the service is always great too!!Vegetarian options: I had a veggie panini and it was alright. Not amazing but just right!Wheelchair accessibility: The bathroom was larger and the entrance was level. The door was not automatic and it was heavy but they would come running to help you open it!!“

“I had a delightful experience at de'lish, a cozy café near the ocean at Oak Bay. The charming atmosphere, delicious pastries, and a menu featuring healthy options made it a perfect spot. The table with a fireplace added warmth and a romantic touch to the overall ambiance.“

“This is a great spot. They make good coffee and good breakfast wraps. Pretty quick to serve unless it’s busy. They have fair prices also and are open an hour earlier than some of the other coffee shops around so now I come here in the mornings.“

“Nice little spot in West Bay. They have limited seating inside and a nice little patio outside. No milk products here, so if you are looking for a latte, it's almond, oat, or soy. The coffee is great, and they have some interesting brews, including Chaga and Lion's Mane. If you are in the area or walking on the Songhees Walkway it's a good spot to stop.“

“Koffi serves some of the best soup and delicious bread that I’ve ever eaten. And I should know, because I had some at lunch today. And I had it gratis..because the lovely staff could see how frustrated I was that my new debit card would not work. Now what businesses give out free soup…not many! So thanks Koffi!!“

“This little cafe is located near Chinatown. It is a cute little cafe with a friendly barista name sam. He was really helpful and let me try the coffee, Hathaway, since I was interested in buying a bag of coffee. He let me try it as an espresso and then made me a latte! Of course I got the bag of coffee cause it went well with the latte!Thanks again Sam!“

“Can't elaborate on service because we skipped the dishes to our hotel room after a day surgery at RJH. The food we ordered was packaged well, and absolutely delicious. Next opportunity we have we will attempt to dine in, but if we can't this will definitely be on our list of order again. Had the quesadilla, a turkey bacon sandwich, a couple iced coffees (only critique would be no request option for sugar on the iced coffee menu but we had some in the room so not a huge deal) and we also got the loaded big salad. It was all very fresh and super tasty.“

“I love everything else here, great breakfast sammiches and also breakfast bowls. Really lovely lemonades too. Highly recommend skipping the smoothie bowl though. I’m not sure how you get the colour brown/grey from pineapple, raspberry, & mango. Tastes 0/10. Had to throw it out.“

“This cafe is close to my job site. They have drip coffee quick and ready. Phil and Sebastian beans (I think) which is great! Bright and calming atmosphere, bigger than most cafes which really improves wheelchair accessibility.Wheelchair accessibility: no stairs, large and spacious. bathroom is a good size :)“

“Just wanted to say how amazing this place is, especially after reading the last bad review (which, yeah, totally wild and inaccurate).I love hide and seek, and always look forward to stopping by when I'm cycling in town. In fact, I specifically go to oak bay for this joint.It's got:Properly excellent coffee, consistently. (I've got high standards yall)Great homemade bites with a real mom and pop feelNice location, friendly clientsIt's firmly on my very short list of best coffee in Victoria.Hope your day is made!“

“If you are looking for a delightful latte experience, you must visit the warm, inviting wood deck of Macciato Caffe & Paninoteca. I was able to cozy up my scooter right next to my table and sip and savour their delicious Lavender Latte while watching the florist from “Flowers on Top” select gorgeous peonies from their spring flower selection across the street. Gorgeous spot, simply delightful!“

“Had a deliciously smooth coffee today that is honey fermented! I can’t drink black coffee, but this coffee is one I can imagine drinking black! Ader Reyonosso (sp?) from Ethiopia. So smooth and rich with subtle flavours— not burnt tasting or harsh at “

“Awesome little bakery with absolutely delicious pastries. They have a cool little diner in the back with amazing breakfast sandwiches. They have a full menu for breakfast and lunch that stay busy. But the star of the show is the pastries and cakes.“

“I go here at least once a week and the staff are always so friendly, hard working, and thoughtful. Additionally, this is one of the few truly "cosy" coffee shops in Victoria; I feel so many places lean into the minimal aesthetic but not QVs! It's a very relaxing space to sit in and drink tea.“

“A cozy little shop in a great location! Delicious treats, and wonderful beverages. I really like the detail of the spiral decoration on my lattes! The art on the wall is great, and I really appreciate the yearly Honeschoolers Art Show ❤️“
