Rhino Coffee House is my favourite coffee places in Victoria. All of the staff are super friendly,…read moreand everything on their menu is delicious! They have a great café area, I love sitting and chatting with friends over coffee, or bringing my laptop and getting some work done on my own. It gets busy! Service is not quick, but you can't blame the workers, as the lines are normally very long, and you can see them working fast behind the bar! Side note- when I moved away from Victoria, I was legitimately devastated to be moving away from Rhino. I went there the last day I lived in Vic, and go there every time I visit.

I'll support a local coffee house anytime! Rhino coffee has the most delicious matcha chai latte,…read morevery tasty and unique. They have milk alternatives as well. There is a good amount of indoor and outdoor patio seating, a cool lounge area while you wait for your coffee/tea. They must have WiFi available because I saw several individuals with personal laptops so you can get work done here as well. The music was upbeat and the vibe was laidback. People chatting over coffee, a man ordering a pupaccino for his dog, folks focusing on their professional or class work. It's a place for everyone to get their coffee or grab a hot tea, a quick bite, and start your day off great.

The location is a convenient inbetween stop if you're visiting the Malahat Skywalk and Hatley Castle. $13CAD/$10USD Smoked Meat Sandwich. If you've never had Canadian Smoked Meat, its "sort of" like pastrami but equally delicious. It was simple sandwich but generously loaded with tasty smoked meat(6-7oz)! It wasn't the same level as Phil's in Quebec City or Schwart's in Montreal, but still good at a great price. The complimentary fresh side of slaw paired nicely. I'm not saying this is the greatest lunch ever, but for only $10 USD this is fantastic value and lunch, especially compared to Seattle/America! I am bit shocked by some of the 1 Star Reviews regarding the owner/operator, because during our visit she was sweet, funny, friendly, and so personable.

This is their second location on Vancouver Island. Their first is in Victoria…read more Glad I made it here. It's worth trying, Lychee cake was the bomb. Like, not overly sweet, as the case with most Asian cakes. Also, the sponge was fluffy, again just like most Asian cakes. I also sampled the oreo cheescake. That was good too, but preference goes to the lychee. New premises in a newly constructed building in Langford. Gal that help me was very friendly. Recommended.

My favourites so far are the honey lavender latte and the matcha, both so tasty and well made.

We also tried the breakfast burrito and grilled cheese, and both were really tasty. Definitely a spot worth visiting! Tons of parking spots too!

I had the chickpea burger, which fell apart as soon as you held it (but the bun was delicious). The truffle parm fries upgrade was 1000% worth it. My partner had the whirly burger with clam chowder (which she said was local but not made in house). Both were yum! The clam chowder was perfectly creamy (not chunky if that's more your speed) but had little clams. The blackberry pie (not pictured because we ate too fast) was also so sweet and had the best crust! Service was kind and helpful when asked. You order at the bar and then clean up after yourself. There is a lot of seating inside and outside (under cover, as well). After we were done, we walked the grounds to find some chickens and emu!

I was recommended Granny's Cafe place by many different people, and it definitely lived up to the…read morehype! I like that you order with the cashier and they deliver the food to your table, so it's like partial food service. This is great for people coming in groups so you don't have to worry about splitting the bill. I ordered a grilled cheese with cheddar, and egg added inside. I do wish the cheese was a little more melted, but the bread was perfectly crispy and soft. For my side I chose the tomato bisque, which was pretty creamy and lacked a strong, tangy tomato flavor. I would skip the tomato soup next time and opt for a different side. The sweet potato fries were DELICIOUS, they were so crispy on the outside and not soggy. I do wish they had different sizes for the sides, because the full order of sweet potato fries is huge and a little excessive if you're already ordering an entree that come with a side. There is an extra charge for ranch dipping. My friends were all happy with their food. There is a bathroom that also brings you to free roaming chicken! I do want to come back to try their ice cream and pies!!!

I was originally hesitant on visiting Duo Cafe Bakery since it's located inside a hotel and I…read morefigured it would be a typical food service-esque bakery. Then I read the reviews - the best croissants (or at least in the top two) in Victoria? Of course I had to give them a try before riding the ferry back out to the US. Bacon Cheddar Chive Scone ($6.50) - Woah so much filling in this scone. Many other scones and biscuits promise big flavor but disappoint with only a smallest imaginable amount of non-carbs added. This one, on the other hand, must have more bacon, cheddar, and chive than flour on the ingredients list. It's literally chock filled, no bite goes through with an entire mouthful of the flavorful combination of cheesy, salty and meaty bacon and fresh chive. It's all evenly distributed throughout, ensuring a consistent flavor with each bite. The cheese are small flecks inside rather than larger pools of cheese. The scone dough itself is also excellent, being extremely moist and fluffy on the interior while developing a great hard crust on the exterior. I believe they also sprinkle grated cheese on the outside of the scone which is caramelized into a speckled pattern while baking to give even more oomph. (5/5) Twice Baked Chocolate Almond Croissant ($7.25) - The chocolate is confined to one side of this excellent twice baked croissant. They spare no expensive, melting an entire layer of valrhona chocolate in a pocket on the bottom, and then slather the entire thing with several layers of an excellent sweet almond frangipane. The double bake gives a shatteringly crisp texture that makes me want more. I normally prefer traditional almond croissants but this one is excellent. I think I actually prefer this one over the more famous one from Bakery Noveau in Seattle. (5/5) It's almost impossible to determine actual croissant lamination technique and quality from a twice baked croissant, but on this visit, we wanted something a bit more decadent to tide us over until we arrived back in Port Angeles for a late lunch. I'll definitely be returning to Duo Café Bakery next time I'm in Victoria to give their regular croissants a try!

There was so much cheese it was almost too heavy, but I never complain about too much cheese I really liked their hollandaise, it was creamy and light, yet flavorful!
