    Strawberry Matcha Dream

    The vibe here is amazing and the food was excellent. We got the Matcha Strawberry Dream and fell in LOVE! So good.

    Iced coconut

    We walked into the cafe to a fellow just smiling at us from behind the counter. What a wonderful welcome. The service here is very nice. The signature drinks are very interesting. I wanna try them all. We got the coconut espresso and a London fog. Both were the best drinks we've had all week. I'm not usually an overdress drinker, but I really liked the iced coconut. We also enjoyed the peach pop tart. Cute shop. Sanitized tables. Colorful with comfortable outdoor seating.

    Best pastries

    Best food! Pastries, sandwiches and desserts and my favorite is the almond croissants!

    Coconut milk latte

    Amazing ambiance and awesome music. The best coconut milk latte I've ever had, and my boyfriend got the seasonal white chocolate peppermint mocha. I got a banh mi with fried tofu and boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich. 10/10 We talked about if we lived in Victoria, we would make this our regular morning visit. I even asked one of the employees which vinyl they had playing, and he gladly showed me on his phone. Love it!!

    Great place to sit, have a coffee and a snack. They have a variety of filter coffee, teas, some pastries and some food. We didn't get any food other than the donut so can't really comment on their food. The coffee was subtle and good, not bitter or acidic like some other coffee shops. The seating reminds me of a small school desk with the wooden table top a little to your side. There are some regular tables along the wall.

    Just say no to the old time brands. Come here and take photos of the old buildings and have spectacular coffee. First date is yummy hot or iced

    Very cool coffee spot! You pick a coffee blend and they create your cup of coffee! Very clean and upbeat atmosphere. Staff is friendly. Coffee is great, nice and smooth. There are tons of outlets so it's a perfect place to work from. Can get busy and a little loud.

    My favourite cafe in Victoria. I love the space. It has bright colours, fun decor, large windows, lots of brick and wood, and tons of seating (indoors or outdoors) for your leisure or work needs (also a lot of outlets). Their Iced Coconut Milk Latte and Honey Latte are my faves but they are on the pricier side as both drinks are $6+ and oat milk is an extra $1! 4.5

    Amazing coffee and food. Served quickly in a cute and modern cafe. We loved the colours and decor (wish I took photos of the interior!)

    Hey Happy is a must-visit for coffee, baked goods, or breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I adore the atmosphere and the unique seating arrangement. We were greeted by the friendly host, who gave us some great advice. Fantastic vibes. They provided excellent service. The "hey hash" and the breakfast sandwich were our orders. Both dishes were amazing since they were tasty and flavorful. The flat white and the London fog made a wonderful pair. highly suggestable

    West Coast Cookie

    Cute cafe. Tried the West Coast Cookie. They were just opening so I was one i on f the first customers. Did not get to try their coffee.

    Chai latte & white chocolate peppermint mocha
    Emili A.

    A bit shocked at the positive reviews, but maybe we are spoiled with our coffee spots in seattle.... the service was great and the interior was warm, fun, creative, and aesthetic. I'm such a sucker for light wood, plants, and an open/tall space. What surprised me most was they don't have vanilla syrup? The only sweetener they had were random syrups (which chocolate, honey) or sugar. It was the first time I've heard of a Cafe not having basic vanilla sweetener. I got a Chai latte and my friend got their white chocolate peppermint mocha. The Chai latte was very dilute and had a little Chai flavor but couldn't taste the cinnamon at all. The white chocolate peppermint mocha had such an artificial syrup flavor that was very heavy at the end.

    Best coffee drinks in Victoria, IMO. Not that this place needs my review!! Lines constantly out the door, but well-deserved.

    White Heather Tea Room - Top tier of the Muckle Tea for Two. These were so pretty--and soooo delicious!

    White Heather Tea Room is the highest rated Afternoon Tea in Victoria and came highly recommended…read moreon social media. We decided to visit for the special meal of our recent trip to Victoria, making a reservation at opening on a Thursday morning. It turns out in the off season a reservation isn't necessary - it never got too full during our 2 hours lounging around and slowly nibbling on food and sipping on tea. The staff are exceptionally pleasant and attentive, constantly refilling teapots and checking on customers. I especially love that when they bring out the tiered tray, they automatically ask for a phone to take a photo! Signature Muckle Tea ($66 CAD per person) - This firstly comes with three tea choices. Given how Brits traditionally drink tea (e.g. with a lot of sugar and cream), we were a bit skeptical with how this afternoon tea would work. We wanted three vastly different types of non-blended teas (ideally a selection of green, black, white, oolong, and puerh). White Heather does serve the first three types of tea. We figured black teas would be safest given brewing temperatures and times. Pai Mu Tan - Very, very subtle flavor. In fact I would say that even after several minutes of brew time, it only tastes like boiled water with slight astringency. But then after another couple of minutes becomes exceptionally astringent and very difficult to drink. A very finicky tea that probably isn't a good choice for afternoon tea. Orange Pekoe - Strong bold malty flavor without much in terms of fruitiness. Does become quite astringent as it becomes more overbrewed, but it takes a while before getting to that point (we also lifted the tea bags as much as possible out of the water to prevent overbrewing in the first place) Sencha - Exceptionally grassy fragrance making it very pleasant to drink. It holds up very well and never becomes too astringent or unpleasant. Surprising given how bitter it gets at home when I brew it at too high temperatures or for too long. Second brew doesn't give much flavor though. Given how many bites came on the three layer tower, I'll only be giving sparknotes rather than my usual full analysis. The waitress recommended eating from bottom tier up. Plain Scone + Raisin Scone - Both exceptionally fluffy and tender, easy to split in half. Served nice and warm with cream, lemon curd, and berry jam. Cheese Croustades - Interestingly different colors on the shell, one being much darker than the other. Both tastes and textures are the same though, being flaky but very hard and almost crunchy. Inside is a cheese mixture, tasting mostly of cheddar with mayo (similar to pimento cheese sans pimento). Some slivers of almonds on top. Mini Quiche - Really soft and buttery tart filled with sun dried tomato and topped with red bell pepper and what seems to be ricotta cheese, although given it's quiche is probably egg. Ham Pinwheel - Simple ham salad flecked with celery, red bell pepper, and pickles on flattened and rolled up sandwich bread. Not salty. Egg Salad Pinwheel - Similar to above, but with egg salad and pimento stuffed olives. The olive gives a welcome hit of salinity. Salmon Sconewich - Really sweet, possibly brown sugar glazed smoked salmon in a somewhat cheesy herbaly scone, tender and spread with cream cheese. Too sweet for a savory dish in my opinion, even with the stuffed olive on top. Cucumber Sandwich - Double decker sandwich, thinly sliced cucumber, tangy cream cheese spread on rye. Soft and fluffy, cucumber almost melts in the mouth. Chocolate Mousse - Delightfully rich and thick, definitely a high quality chocolate mouse given the texture and depth of chocolate flavor, graced with half a raspberry. At this point I was so stuffed that I couldn't eat another bite. I left the rest of the desserts for later (ended up eating them for dinner). Macaron - Really sweet and raspberry fruity, super soft, fingers easily break the surface with a light touch. Raspberry jam in the center of an Earl Grey cream, very sweet so my first few bites I couldn't get the bergamot flavor, but it comes out eating the frosting in isolation. Carrot Cake - Super dense, moist crumb with plenty of carrot flavor and some crushed walnut to break things up. Not too sweet. Tangy whipped cream cheese topping, light not heavy. Caramel Mini Cupcake - Denser bake but moist crumb, tastes more like vanilla than caramel to me. The cream on top perhaps has a hint of caramel? At least, it doesn't seem to be straight sugar. Lemon Tart - Super soft pastry shell with the same lemon curd as with the scones, then topped with cream. Scottish Shortbread - Very crumbly and buttery sweet dessert. Rich and delicious. I'm at the character limit so I'll just say this - White Heather gives a fantastic Afternoon Tea experience. It's a splurge that I certainly think was worth taking. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

    The staff were very friendly, and generally service was good…read more The interior is well decorated, but there's no hiding the fact that it's on a busy street, making it one of the tea rooms with the least interesting views. 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.
