What I got: Matcha latte Matcha latte flavor was strong and form was just perfect. Very bold and so delicious. I had it without any sugar, I really wanted to enjoy matcha latte itself. 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!

Baked goods look enticing -- would've loved to try the strawberry rhubarb meringue if not for dietary restrictions. Pourover coffee -- an important indicator of a cafe's quality -- got the hubby's stamp of approval, with the extra perk of being affordable (less than $6). Not too many non-caffeinated options for me, but the ginger warmer I got was good at warming for sure.

This is a great way to support indigenous businesses as each package features art from different nations across turtle island and each represents a part of the medicine wheel. Part of proceeds also go to support indigenous artists. So not only is it absolutely a delicious luxurious tasting coffee, it is also an ethical company that gives back to the community. I highly Recommend ordering this coffee and I can't wait to try to the other 3 flavors.

We were there on a not so busy Thursday afternoon for a quick afternoon snack and tea. I ordered a bruschetta and mom ordered a blueberry tart and we both ordered earl Grey tea. As soon as we set our trays and was about to eat, we noticed a mouse running through the seating area (fairly without fear, probably in search of food). I immediately lost my appetite. However because I was starving I took a bite of my bruschetta. It tasted hard as a rock. The blueberry tart though was pretty good, mildly sweet and perfect. However couldn't really spend a lot of time here since the mouse was running around even with all the tables being filled with humans.

I really love the New Zealand theme and honoring their ancestors and culture through this coffee shop. However, the tea here is not very strong or very good. The matcha was super weak and I got a London fog, but it just tasted like milk. I will say I love that they had macadamia milk as an option for a milk alternative so that's really fun and cool. I do wish they served a better version of a Matcha and other tea products. I think their coffee is probably good but again we wanted to go for tea. Overall service of the staff was good and again it's not the best Matcha, but I really loved the vibe in the decor.

I thought I'd return, to use the cards and also give them another chance. Well, it will be my last time. The overall staff "vibe" is too busy doing whatever to help. We ordered some mortadella from the deli, didn't specify the thickness and wasn't asked, we came home to find it cut super thick (think bologna). Our fault for not specifying. $19 for 500g We then asked for a loaf of raisin bread. It was listed for $7.25 yet on the receipt it was $9..... A $8 bag of crouton sticks and we ventured to the cafe. This time knowing better we didn't order hot food. A few cookies and a mocha. This was fine, however the mocha seemed to lack mocha... was very pale in colour, not sure if it was missed or just weak. Not sure this will matter to anyone as the store seems to have a very loyal following and is busy. But we won't be back again.

I only wish we lived in Victoria so this could become our regular go-to spot for special occasion cakes.
