    a plate of meat, cheese, olives, and bread
    John B.

    Showed up from out of town on a beautiful Tuesday spring evening on to grab a light evening meal on the patio...however the kitchen was already closed... bummer right? Not even close. Kayla Brown worked some magic and created a spectacular customized charcuterie plate from the deli and suggested some excellent wine to accompany. Dinner was saved in epic fashion under the setting sun and overlooking the harbour. Several of the items were locally sourced and prices were reasonable for quantity and quality. To top it off, Kayla suggested and wrote down a couple of other local spots to enjoy nearby while in town, sharing an insiders knowledge. Food was fantastic but service was even better. Well done!

    Rosé & green salad
    Robin H.

    Usually I hit this spot up in the mornings, which it's great for because you get the morning sun on your face with your coffee. But yesterday I hit it up after work. We enjoyed a charcuterie, a green salad and rose (also check out the colour of that rose, it's beautiful!). It's definitely not as lively as the mornings but great place to catch up with a friend. They always have awesome art on the walls too!

    Great coffee and a lot of space. Takes a long time to for the order to be made though. Not necessarily wise choice if you're in a rush

    Ordered a cappuccino but it had no espresso flavor at all- more like hot frothed milk. Waste of $5.

    I was originally hesitant on visiting Duo Cafe Bakery since it's located inside a hotel and I…read morefigured it would be a typical food service-esque bakery. Then I read the reviews - the best croissants (or at least in the top two) in Victoria? Of course I had to give them a try before riding the ferry back out to the US. Bacon Cheddar Chive Scone ($6.50) - Woah so much filling in this scone. Many other scones and biscuits promise big flavor but disappoint with only a smallest imaginable amount of non-carbs added. This one, on the other hand, must have more bacon, cheddar, and chive than flour on the ingredients list. It's literally chock filled, no bite goes through with an entire mouthful of the flavorful combination of cheesy, salty and meaty bacon and fresh chive. It's all evenly distributed throughout, ensuring a consistent flavor with each bite. The cheese are small flecks inside rather than larger pools of cheese. The scone dough itself is also excellent, being extremely moist and fluffy on the interior while developing a great hard crust on the exterior. I believe they also sprinkle grated cheese on the outside of the scone which is caramelized into a speckled pattern while baking to give even more oomph. (5/5) Twice Baked Chocolate Almond Croissant ($7.25) - The chocolate is confined to one side of this excellent twice baked croissant. They spare no expensive, melting an entire layer of valrhona chocolate in a pocket on the bottom, and then slather the entire thing with several layers of an excellent sweet almond frangipane. The double bake gives a shatteringly crisp texture that makes me want more. I normally prefer traditional almond croissants but this one is excellent. I think I actually prefer this one over the more famous one from Bakery Noveau in Seattle. (5/5) It's almost impossible to determine actual croissant lamination technique and quality from a twice baked croissant, but on this visit, we wanted something a bit more decadent to tide us over until we arrived back in Port Angeles for a late lunch. I'll definitely be returning to Duo Café Bakery next time I'm in Victoria to give their regular croissants a try!

We were passing by and decided to take a break before getting back on our bikes. 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!
