The line moves quickly and there were a mix of tourists and regulars. I got a latte and the A Buttkicker. The sandwich was divine. The bacon was thick cut. Breakfast bun was perfectly toasted and soft. The highlight was definitely the addition of the hot sauce. Absolutely hit all the right spots.

They have an interesting selection of sandwiches and bakery items. If you want a croissant, you'd better be hungry as they are huge. I ordered a soy latte and it was very smooth.

A very popular bakery in downtown Victoria, and it's easy to see why. We stopped by for pastries…read moreand coffee. The shop itself is quite small, with only couple seats along the wall. Everything in the display case looked delicious, but we decided on the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry, the pistachio ganash tart and the pork & fennel sausage roll. The pistachio tart was fresh with a rich nutty flavor, though it took a little finesse to eat because the filling kept wanting to spill out. My favorite was the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry. It was flaky, with a delicate sweetness from the fruits and a subtle floral note from the rosewater. You can really taste the dedication in these pastries. I'd recommend going early in the day as many of their items tend to sell out quick.

Based on the recommendations of the staff there, I ended up getting the steak & frites that come with a dip. They cook pretty fast. My hoagie was great. The fries gave a nice crispy but soft texture. The dip completed the dish, I think the bread would be too dry without the dip. It was good! Lunch specials are from Monday to Thursday from 11 AM to 3 PM and you can get half a hoagies plus fries for $16. They have regular fries or beef tallow fries. They do take Amex.

Today we had the smoked salmon benny half order with a fresh salad and my hubby on the Dungeness crab and prawn benny with the roasted potato's and onions. We were very pleased with both. What I love most about the Benny is their hollandaise sauce - so lemony and light and they put the perfect amount on each - ie not drenched but nicely poured. The staff is super nice and overall the place feels homey. You also aren't waiting in lines to get good brunch which is always a bonus especially coming from Vancouver where everyone and their dog is going for brunch and lining up. This spot is very unassuming and kind of hidden behind the building. Highly recommend! They also have a cute patio if you're feeling some sunshine!

I highly recommend this restaurant.
