Ever. And everything there is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free. My favorites were the dark choc sea salt caramels and the maple dark chocolates. Their soft serve is to die for. It is gluten-free and dairy free and I havent been able to have soft serve in about 20 years. They were able to put dark chocolate topping on it that hardened into a nice shell and it was served in a gluten-free waffle cone that was to die for. Georgina helped us and had incredible customer service. It could not have been better. She was happy to help, was super knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure I found something I loved without making me feel pressured at all. The store is kept really nice and it feels good to be in there since organized nicely, and not overcrowded Be sure to go here. You will love it and want to return!! I am excited for you

Cute lil ice cream shop in Esquimalt popped up in the last year. We went this past week to check it…read moreout. They had interesting flavours like matcha lemon, sea salt and roasted strawberry. My husband opted for the sea salt and coffee double scoop and I got the matcha lemon and roasted strawberry. Sea salt is absolutely delicious 5/5 Coffee is as well 5/5 Matcha lemon was really nice and tart but it's hard to eat a full scoop of it 3/5 Roasted strawberry was flavourful but not as creamy as the other flavours, had a touch of iciness 3/5 They also have a punch card too so you can keep getting stamps for a free cone. The service was fast and friendly. We would definitely go back to this lil neighbourhood spot!

I love the idea of having good bubble tea and food all in the same place! The cute mascot is also a…read morebig plus for me. We stopped by because someone had a massive bubble tea craving. They have a lot of different drinks to choose from and while they have a symbol on the menu to represent drinks that can be made hot, a symbol to let people know which drinks are or can be made caffeine free would be nice. We did get good recommendations on what to get by the nice person at the counter though for non-caffeinated beverages. You can order a la carte or get the special which includes a bubble tea and a choice of hot dog. We opted for the combo and I tried out the house milk tea with boba/tapioca. I requested it at 25% sweetness which was just right for me when combined with the syrupy boba. I loved that they use more sustainable packaging such as paper cups and straws. The heat sealed lids on top of the cups make for a better drinking experience since it's harder for you to spill your drink. The hot dogs were equally tasty. The toppings on our dogs were plentiful, very pleasing to the eye, and I loved the Asian flavors such as kimchi and furikake on ours. The hot dogs themselves were cooked to perfection and perfectly plump with a nice bite to them. Service was super friendly from the employees. The only minor inconvenience is that there are no public restrooms available but luckily we were able to find a restroom at our next destination in the area.

Cute branding but the drink was just ok, maybe their hotdogs will be better? Tried multiple drinks…read moreand I still have the same opinion about this store

Delicious espresso drinks, kombucha on tap, fresh pastries--highly recommend the honey butter bar. There is a beautiful garden patio to the side with a little free library and even a yarn library. The location is quiet and peaceful.

The front of the store is wide open which really welcomes you in. On the left side, a small but very adequate selection of ice creams to choose from. Yes, we paid for one scoop and the second was free. I chose their raspberry cheesecake along with an espresso flavor I had never seen nor tried before. The other selections chosen were traditional chocolate and then a salted caramel. Each ice cream was creamy and delicious in its own right. The espresso flavor I chose had thin strips of espresso flavored chocolate that were so deeply delicious. The pleasant young lady serving us really loaded up the ice cream. I commented what lovely big scoops she was giving us and she said "they said to be generous", well done owners! Lovely items in their gift section but found the prices just too high. One t shirt I loved was $59.00 so was sad to leave it behind. Highly recommend this store, and right in front is lots of seating to enjoy that double scoop. Very positive experience and your staff takes all the credit!

They have a lot of healthy snacks and lunches. Check them out especially if you are sick of eating out or need a healthy energy boost. The smoothies are a great deal and well worth it.

Caffe Artigiano has been a favourite of mine since my visits to Vancouver, and the coffee/tea and specialty beverages are all delicious. This location has an enormous open and airy vibe to it. It is located inside of Westshore Town Centre. They also have an outside patio where you can sit and relax with an iced latte or an iced London fog to cool off! I like the place and the pieces of art on the wall. They also sell merchandise and coffee beans to go. The service is fantastic! The baristas were quite warm and helpful, and they also provided excellent recommendations. I appreciate their explaining some of their new menu items. I had the iced London fog, and it was exactly as good as I remembered! It was cool and refreshing, just what I needed on a hot summer day! I love Caffe Artigiano, and would recommend their Langford location. We'll be back!
