Little June is the cutest corner coffee shop, offering a great selection of pastries and sandwiches (which I'll definitely come back to try!). The lattes and coffees are also noticeably cheaper than many other cafes around here, which was such a pleasant surprise.

Little June is a charming coffee shop serving breakfast, brunch, and pastries/baked goods. Fernwood coffee is also available here. We ordered an iced latte and an iced London fog. My particular favourite was the iced latte. I believe they utilize Earl Grey powder for their London fog, and I was pleasantly pleased by how wonderful it tasted. It was unusual because I was not used to the powder but rather the tea bags. The host at the cashier was really kind and provided wonderful service. They have tons of seatings. I loved how open and airy the space was! I'll have to try their brunch the next time I visit. I highly recommend this cute little spot!

We were staying real close to La Belle in Victoria so we got it to-go the night we got in. This La Belle isn't the best for sitting in, very few chairs and the ambience isn't great. So we took ours to go. Mine one qualm is the to-go vehicle - the fries got really soggy before we got to the house because of the steam and how tightly they packed it. Now don't get me wrong, the gravy and the curds, on point as per usual! Just wish the fries still had some crispiness to them still. If they had abit more of place to sit, we for sure would have just eaten in to maintain the integrity of the pout. Was I still satisfied? Yes. Maybe they can switch to a better to go vehicle. At the Davie location they served my poutine in a cardboard box that could breathe a bit better. Recommend switching to that if possible!

A solid spot with its own distinct vibe and an impressively long menu…read more Great for groups since there's something for everyone, and the portions are generous. Almost too much for one person. One thing that stood out: unlike most diners that only offer one brewed coffee option, this place lets you choose between regular and dark roast. Small detail, but appreciated. I went on a weekday morning, so there was no wait, but the space isn't very large, so I'd recommend making a reservation during peak hours. Staff were friendly overall, and the atmosphere is worth experiencing. That said, while the food was consistently solid, it wasn't particularly memorable. I ordered the Valentino, smoked salmon and poached egg on an English muffin with avocado, but the avocado was completely unripe, which brought down both the texture and the flavor. With a menu this wide, most dishes land in the "good" rather than "great" range, and execution details like that make a difference. If you're going for variety and the overall experience, you'll be satisfied, but if you're hoping for something exceptional, it may feel a bit underwhelming. Bottom line: a reliable brunch option for groups, as long as you're not setting the bar too high on the food itself.

Hearty homestyle sandwiches. Just like grandma or dad would make :)…read moreSimple, no fuss, classic. Prices range from $6 to $12 - everything is homemade, even the bread, and ingredients are locally sourced (which is a rarity nowadays). The freshly baked bread makes the sandwich better than anywhere else in the neighbourhood in my opinion. This new location on corner of Goldstream/Jacklin is larger than the previous one in Colwood. Customize your sandwich fixings at the deli counter and eat in or grab n go for a picnic at Langford Lake. Can get busy at lunch rush. Choose from traditional sandwich, wrap or grilled panini. Bread is soft and delicious, and doesn't need to be toasted it's that good. Even the roast beef and turkey are oven roasted in their kitchen. They are known for their scratch-made soups offering up 3 daily options (they have a monthly menu board so you know what's coming). Don't forget the cookies - they are classically delicious and also baked fresh daily. They used to do a really good traditional breakfast menu on Sundays until 2pm. More tasty comfort food like eggs benny, omelettes, pancakes, waffles... (But I can understand if they need a day off!) John the owner is a retired navy cook who is passionate about dishing out satisfying homemade comfort food (he's in the back kitchen every morning at 6am prepping for the day) Nice to support local family community-minded business, especially in Langford. Closed on Sundays and early-ish during week so enjoy for lunch or early dinner.

The chicken pie I got was delicious and such a rare comfort food for a quick lunch on the road, that I felt compelled to share!

They were accommodating and, as if they were old friends, were kind and inclusive. The food was unbelievably great in presentation, flavor, and quantity. I have never had a burger (Bacon Jam) with such succulence and combination of flavors. It was an experience all by itself. I had a side order of the onion soup and it was beyond anything I have eaten in knowing I was getting an originally made onion soup from fresh with the best ingredients. Each was a big enough serving, I had some to take home. One of my friends got the mussels in garlic sauce. The waitress made everything a joyful interaction and the chef served the food.
