So glad we decided to walk in on our recent trip to Victoria. We did not plan to be here but…read moreliterally every person walking on the street seemed to be walking in and we were like - let's go, check it out. This is right outside the Public Market and has plenty of street parking on and around the block. From the get go, amazing ambiance - bright, colorful infused with wooden interiors makes you take notice. A very innovative menu makes it hard to not try more than you planned on. Service is fast and the staff is friendly. We had the below items and can't wait to be back to try more on their menu. It seems they do refresh their menu quite a bit and the current menu is definitely bomb! 1. Hong Kong style Pork Sandwich - 12/10, amazing favors, very nicely done! 2. Savory Poptart - 10/10, light, flake, buttery, melt in the mouth 3. Mandarin Day Dream from their Signature Drinks - Drink of my dreams. I will dream of it until I can have it again and I hope they do not drop it from the menu until then. Such a innovative and well balanced drink - 20/10, must try!! We need you here in the U.S. Whoever is dishing out these creative menu items (signature drinks & the sandwiches) needs a raise!

The same quality as what I had in japan. Excellent latte. Kanelbullar - Cardamom bun, cinnamon sugar filling. Dough was very soft and chewy. I really enjoyed this item, too. I love their ambience and recommend to sit counter bar on the second floor. I will revisit here on the next Victoria trip!

However, based on my last couple of visits I would not return. The chai latte was watery and the WiFi connection was non-existent.

I also found it hard to hear people I was talking to with the surrounding noise.

I had a crispy tofu sandwich and a strawberry pie slice. A bit of a wait for the food to come out, but all was delicious. The sandwich was freshly prepared with freshly crisped up tofu and tasty sauce, and the side salad had a really good dressing. The pie filling was juicy and tart with a rustic crumb topping. I also enjoyed my sour cherry green tea. They had a nice selection of teas as well as all the coffee drinks you'd expect and some interesting specialty drinks like hot chocolate, cream-top drinks, and more. It was a great place to relax and enjoy lunch.

Good selection of tea and it was fine. They seemed average, not bad, but don't really stand out either. I appreciated that they had a variety of choices for food including a gluten-free option. The quality of food was again okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great either. They toast the bread for the sandwiches is I personally don't like because by the time you get to it, it's cooled down, so it's a little hard without being freshly toasted. It's also a bit messy to eat open faced sandwiches that have a fair amount of toppings. Afternoon tea is not supposed to be messy. Overall, not bad, but also there are better places.
