i really wanted to like this café, and honestly, i'd still recommend it for the aesthetics alone…read more the interior is beautiful, with glossy black and white checkered floors, soft white paneling, and a chandelier that adds a touch of elegance above the counter. natural light pours in from the tall front windows, illuminating the pastry case and giving the whole space a serene, gallery like feel. it's a calming spot to step into, and would be an ideal setting for a proper afternoon tea service. i ordered an almond croissant, french bread pudding, and the gateau du jour, green tea and vanilla, along with a yuzu maccha (sourced from jagasilk), all to go. the drink was the biggest disappointment, the yuzu flavour was absent, and the matcha itself was weak. on top of that, there's a small surcharge for ice (.50, which i did not expect) and oat milk (.50). the almond croissant looked promising with its golden shell and slivered almonds, though the nuts themselves weren't fully toasted, which made the topping feel a little underwhelming. the interior leaned more dense than the airy, flaky layers i'd been hoping for. this sometimes happens when the lamination doesn't quite hold or the proofing isn't ideal, not unusual with croissants, but still a letdown in contrast to its appearance. the green tea cake was beautifully presented, with neat layers of sponge and green tinted buttercream, but leaned on the sweeter side, with only a subtle whisper of green tea. the bread pudding, reheated at home, was the highlight, soft, custardy, and lifted by the vanilla cream sauce it came with. seating is limited but cozy, with a handful of small tables inside and a couple more out on the sidewalk. their selection is broad: whole cakes, slices, macarons, crème brûlée, tarts, cookies, all arranged neatly in the front window to tempt passersby. the café's charm lies in its design and atmosphere. it's worth a visit if you're nearby and want a chic spot to sit and relax, and i'd go back to try their other cakes, the display alone makes it hard not to.

Circle Canning is at Moss Street Market during the summer, the Victoria Public Market on Wednesdays…read moreand other community markets. They sell salsa, sauces, chutneys and jams/jellies. None of which I usually buy. But this summer at the Moss Street Market I bought their Primaverde sauce, and proceeded to use it on chicken, fish eggs and all sorts of other stuff. I don't know how to describe it, except that it's delicious. They say it's a classic chimichurri sauce with cilantro added. Yes, me too. I have no idea what that means. I've just come back from the market with a new bottle of that and a bottle of their Signal Rock Salsa, which is a smoked tomato based salsa. I don't really like tomatoes or tomato salsa...but I like this. So they have tasting at their stall, which is great. I consider they're fairly priced at $10 for a medium sized mason jar. The people at the stall know what's in everything and are very friendly. Apparently, I'm not going to become a home canner anytime soon so these guys keep me away from the nether regions of the chip aisle at the grocery store and enjoying new flavours.

The owner was super sweet, you could definitely tell she loved her job. My sister and I got vanilla bean marshmallows and salted caramel. YUM. Everything is au naturel. We were really impressed with the taste and texture of the sweets, I mean that was my first time trying candy that isn't loaded with unhealthy ingredients. A+ Yum yum!

One can definitely spend at least an hour looking at all the different kinds of snacks available. The store carries really niche flavors, even of popular brands. I saw a Philly cheesecake flavor Pringles here and a mango flavoured Pocky. Never seen these elsewhere! The store cashier is also very nice. I went in the evening so there were hardly any customers. Seems to be popular for both kids and adults, so it's best to go when it's less busy.

Finally, you can choose if you want the extra toppings for a fee. I personally love the cookies and cream one with vanilla ice cream. Service is fast and everything is visible. It's so fun to see each ice cream get made! There are also other desserts available if you want something to go, or a souvenir. There is free water. Just grab a clean cup and pour it yourself.

In downtown Victoria's dessert corridor, Chocolats Favoris had a steady crowd for its signature ice…read morecream dipped in real chocolate whenever we walked past. Visited on a weekend night and ordered the small dipped cone with dark chocolate, raspberry sauce, and bits. I loved the contrast between the cool, creamy vanilla‑style soft serve coated in a glossy layer of intense dark chocolate that cracked with a satisfying snap. The raspberry sauce added a bright, tangy edge, cutting through sweetness rather than just echoing it. Texture‑wise, the firm shell and small toppings lent some welcome chew against the soft ice cream's smooth melt. The portion was modest (a true small), which made the roughly mid‑to‑high single‑digit price feel slightly steep but still justifiable for a treat. Service was friendly and quick at the counter. The shop's vibe leans casual and family‑friendly. Seating is limited, so this plays best as a grab‑and‑stroll dessert.
