My favourites so far are the honey lavender latte and the matcha, both so tasty and well made. Tons of seating space inside and outside The baristas are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

Found this nice modern cafe when walking from downtown to the cruise port…read more If you follow the Aura signs you'll end up right outside this cafe. 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. I'm always happy when my coffee is not bitter. The girl behind the counter was very personable and answered all my questions. A friendly cafe right behind the hotel lobby.

It's situated in the Brentwood Bay in a cute spot with a fairly large patio overlooking the harbour. The menu was not huge but there were a number of gluten-free options that were delicious.

Saint cecillia is the best coffee shop in Victoria in my opinion. I really liked their drink,…read moreambience and service. 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!

We've been coming to Friday Harbor for years as a stop along our annual sailing vacation. Today, on…read morea whim, I stopped in at Leaven and asked if they could do any of their menu items dairy-free. They literally all got together and came up with an off-menu crepe that was amazing! The care and concern shown was fantastic. And, to top it off, the shop owner (?) came up and handed me a peach pastry that is vegan saying "It's not often that dairy-free people get to enjoy a sweet." We were so impressed that all of the allergy-free members of our party immediately ordered breakfast! Go here and support this business!

Lox crepe had a good ratio of lox to cream cheese and arugula/picked onions. The quiche (tomato and…read morepesto) was ever so slightly overcooked to my preference. Service was 5/5 very friendly. Bus your own table type of place. Drip coffee was standard. Does get a long line that fluctuates with ferry arrival times. We had about 5 people ahead of us and waited about 10 minutes to order. Brioche looked good and seemed to be popular; not really a brioche person so didn't get it.

This place is a charming cafe located in Friday Harbor…read more The food and drinks here were absolutely spectacular. We ordered a few lattes made with their in-house syrups, and every single one of them was incredible. We loved them so much we went back for them again and again over the weekend we were there. We also tried their chorizo burrito and donuts, which were both outstanding. I honestly want to go back to the island just to eat here again! The ambiance of the place is awesome. It is super kid-friendly outside, featuring a wonderful yard with plenty of toys and things to do, which makes it incredibly relaxing for families. To top it all off, the staff was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visits. I highly, highly recommend checking out Medio Cafe if you are anywhere near the San Juan Islands. It was so good, and it's an absolute must-visit spot that we will definitely keep coming back to!

I'm genuinely surprised by the nearly 5-star rating based on our experience…read more We visited around 1:30 PM and were told that hot food was no longer being served. We then tried to order a salad, and were told that oh also that wasn't available. honestly felt like they just didn't feel like making anything. The only real option left was smoothies and açaí bowls. We ended up ordering three açaí bowls for the kids and a smoothie. At around $15 per bowl, the portions were shockingly small--only about a quarter full with five banana slice and three strawberries. one bowl was missing almond butter. The protein* smoothie couldn't be made properly because they were out of the protein powder. They offered to substitute collagen instead - not the same thing but ok. no discount. no acknowledgement. I understand that restaurants run out of items occasionally, but between most of the menu being unavailable, the outrageous price for the quality of the output, missing ingredients, and the complete lack of an apology or acknowledgment, this was a very disappointing experience.
