I'm overjoyed to learn that there is a Caffe Artigiano in the Greater Victoria area! After our…read moregrocery haul, we decided to go and check it out! 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!

This sweet little gem is found in the Victoria Public Market. I've gone twice now to enjoy some…read moresmoothies made fresh as I peruse the shop. Both times I've ordered the Anti-Juice and find it so refreshing and tasty. I love green smoothies. This one has a lot of ginger bite, and it's so good. On my second occasion, P said he'd "help me out" if I wanted to order 2, so I also got the Cacao Monkey. It was a smooth, perfectly sweet dessert-like smoothie. Yum. I wish I could eat them everyday! 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. Cheers to your health!

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Come for the food - like any of it -…read moreready-made or for take-home! :) === 2. FOOD Quality Foods is essentially a rebranded Save On Foods done well: - Clean, bright lighting. - More upscale features for different departments. - Seemingly more specials on groceries. - Big departure: hot food service and seating areas. So not only do I get the impression I would save on groceries more often than at a regular Save On Foods (is it the presentation style or larger number of discounts?) but hot food section makes it feel worthwhile to get a decent bite to eat in these tougher economic times. The $7.99 breakfast combo beats anything the fast food joints can offer; the $9.99 burger combo is a delight: - Thick beef patty. - Lettuce, tomato, condiments of your choice. - Soft bun every time, topped with a slice of pickle. - Comes with fries or choice of two soups. It's tough to visit the fast food joints on the way when the options here are arguably healthier and perhaps better value! === 3. SERVICE In general, it's decent here, but be advised that the Asian hot food section seems to have some challenges with staffing or processes: it always seems like a single individual is working there perhaps not as efficiently as they could and so there's always a line up that doesn't move very fast, especially around lunch times. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a relatively (5-10 year old) establishment and so it's relatively clean and modern. Wheelchairs and baby strollers fit just fine everywhere. The shopping complex is relatively new also and offers plenty of parking.
