    Breakfast menu

    A great place for brunch in Sooke with lots of choices. As we came here during the summer, they were full inside but had plenty of seating outside. We sat on a picnic table underneath a plum tree and it was oh so delightful. We ordered a Farmers benny (triple) to share and it was delicious. We asked for the eggs to be medium poached but one was a bit more on the hard side but still very yummy. Hash browns were crunchy and went well with the benny. Would highly recommend in Sooke!

    Quaint, cute small town diner vibes.. Spicy chicken burger was big, but 0% of it was spicy. Very bland and simple. You'll leave feeling full, but not much to describe. A no-frills diner with the necessities.

    We decided to check out this local favourite and were not disappointed! It has great food and friendly service. It is a clean, cute diner. I had the Eggs Benedict and my husband had the Western Omelette - large portion for each and great taste. We will be back for sure. The desserts look amazing!

    Mom's place means GOOD EATS!

    We searched Yelp to find an eatery with a high star rating in Sooke. Found this spot. 5 stars? Just 5? Deserves way more. Cozy old diner atmosphere, extremely fast service, outstanding, friendly waitress, and food you will drive many miles to eat. (Thanks, Kristie.) We had sandwiches, fries, and chowder. Some of the best chowder I have ever eaten along the seaside (it is made here). Turkey cranberry sandwich was delicious. Packed and flavourful. They smoke their own turkey. And the meatloaf? Smothered in gravy and mushrooms with a slight bite of garlic. Fries are not home cut, but they are good. We did not try the desserts; they were sold out of their pies. I don't doubt they are as excellent as the rest of their food. We will drive all the way from Victoria to eat here again.

    Best Apple Pie! :)

    Do you know how you sometimes get very, very lucky when you're a tourist and just looking for a place to have lunch? That's what happened to my husband and me. We walked into Mom's Cafe, and it was filled with locals from the area, which is always a good sign to me. I ordered the seafood chowder and salad, which were amazing. The chowder was tasty but not salty and the salad was crisp and crunchy--just the way I like it. But that's not the best part! When we walked in, we saw a case filled with HUGE pies and other desserts. I ordered an apple pie. The inside of their pie reveals that they slice the apples and layer them on top of each other again and again and again. It was so big, it didn't really fit in my mouth unless I cut it up. Ah, the kind of problem I love to have! ;)

    Fish and chips, grilled cheese and onion rings

    Came here late on a Saturday night an hour before closing. We were a bit disappointed to learn that many items were not available by this time. The gravy was good. The fish and chips were good. Everything else was ok. Not that hot and fresh feel. Likely to do with the fact that we did not come earlier. We really wanted to love this place it as we heard amazing things. But everything was just ok. Maybe brunch is the way to go. I will say our server was very friendly and helpful and that made our experience way better.

    Mile high pies

    We had high expectations of this place, and drove in 20 minutes just to eat here. If you're used to eating in places that are healthy and good (ok, maybe slight food snob here), you will probably be disappointed. I asked which of the seafoods were local (salmon and halibut), so we each got the salmon wrap with salmon and corn chowder on the side. Neither would I write home about. The wrap tasted like salad mixed in a fairly cheap tortilla with some salmon and plain yogurt. The chowder just seemed so full of cream and flour, it wasn't all that memorable. The salmon was good in the wrap, I will give them that. We felt like we had to try one if their 'mile high' pies, and the lemon meringue was good.

    Shirley Delicious Cafe

    Easily one of the most popular spots on Vancouver Island…read more The sun peaked out in January and everyone and their mom visited Shirley Delicious Cafe. To be honest, I completely understand why. This cafe is a step above the rest. The inside is cozy, with a cabin-esque vibe and clear ceilings in their dining room for an indoor-outdoor feel. Despite the line of 20+ people, Shirley Delicious worked like a well oiled machine. Their menu included breakfast, lunch, and even a flight of soup (which I so desperately wanted). I ordered their date pastry, a hot caramel latte, and breakfast sandwich with avo. Each item was absolutely delicious. This is also a great location to shop for island goodies. Their storefront is filled with jams, sauces, metal working artwork, etc. Can't believe they can pack so much goodness into four little walls!

    This was truly an amazing find! Tucked in the forest, this cafe is definitely delicious!…read more Definitely get here early as there could be a line out the door! We lucked out, thankfully. You order and pay first, then find a seat inside or outside. Ample seating options. For drinks, they'll call your name and you pick it up at the counter, while they will bring you your entrée. We came for breakfast, so I had a croissant BLT Harvati sandwich and a latte. My friend had a vegan wrap and a latte as well. The whole indoor feels like a greenhouse once before and transformed to indoor cafe. There are tons of metal welding artwork around and many little retail shopping corners inside. My croissant did not let me know, it was so delicious! They also have a small coffee/ice cream/grab-n-go trailer outside. Overall it's a nice place for breakfast or lunch! We tried coming back again, but the power went out so we weren't able to order anything AND have cash. Guess I'll have to come back to visit!
