I love this location but it can get very busy so be warned that it's hard to find a seat. We usually get to-go and the wait is never long. Lots of pastry options, both sweet and savory, and they make a mean oat milk latte! I love their hand pies.They're a wee bit pricey for certain pastries, but absolutely delicious. Overall: Kind service. Clean shop. Delicious coffee and pastries! read more

I came by to pickup some lunch and a coffee. Tried their seasonal pourover coffee on ice, and their italian sandwich. The coffee is just ok. Nothing bad, this particular coffee is a bit fruity and overall its fine. Main problem is its $7 for a very tiny coffee. The cup is literally about 1 cup (250cc) full of ice, with coffee poured into it. A few sips and its gone. Definitely not worth it at $2 per sip. A little ridiculous. The italian sandwich is good. Not great. Bread is good, fillings are good quality, sandwich is crisp on the outside, moist inside, flavourful sauce. I wish there was some kind of greenery on the inside too, like Arugula or something. Its a bit one-dimensional and feels heavy. But a solid sandwich. However, its $15 and its also not big. Its about the size of a hamburger. So a sandwich and tiny coffee for $21 is crazy. Its counter-service and the people at the counter are nice. Not much else to say in terms of service. The space is nice and clean but not much seating esp when it gets busy. Overall, quality is fine, and I do always like their Croissants - what I usually get at SV. However, they need to offer a bit more value. Lower the prices a bit, or increase the portions a bit. If you dont account for pricing/value, theyre a solid 4/5. Accounting for their extraordinarily high prices for small portions, this is 3/5. Street metered parking available but tough to find a spot. read more

Good place for a morning coffee and pastries. The almond croissant was great. Banana almond butter toast was a good breakfast dish to try. Iced latte was overall decent. The service was excellent and everybody was so nice. Sitting options are plenty including both indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy the harbor view. read more

Really great prices on the delicious drinks! I ordered a large matcha with strawberry cloud, and it was probably the biggest one I've had where the matcha still tasted rich and high-quality. The fact that they made the strawberry a cloud also helped it not overpower the matcha flavor. They had an amazing Lemon Pistachio Cranberry Scone. I'm not usually a scone person since they tend to be dry, but this one was perfectly moist and flavorful. Definitely a standout. We also tried the Passion Fruit Cheesecake. The cheesecake filling on its own wasn't my favorite, but it really came together nicely with the passion fruit sauce. The only item I didn't love was the seasonal pumpkin dessert. It was missing that fruity, bright flavor I usually like, so it tasted a bit flat in comparison. Overall, it's a lovely space with plenty of seating, friendly staff, and quick service. I'd definitely come back! read more

Conveniently located near Cooper's Park. I came on Thanksgiving morning and it was packed, but the line moved quickly. There was plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. I got the avocado toast without cheese. It was a bit underwhelming. I was expecting slices of avocado, but it came out mashed and there wasn't much of it. I wouldn't get this again. I feel like I just ordered the wrong thing. I would be back again to try their delicious looking pastries and sweet treats! read more

Of the popular Small Victory chain this is the weak link. Great location for sure, but bad seating options unless you are outside on a sunny day. We had hoped for a creative redesign of the space when they took over. It is rare at a SV you get questionable service but we had that today, possibly a bad hire. Food and coffee itself standard for SV (decent). read more

Super packed but it's right across the street from the aqua bus dock. They have a decent variety of food and drinks. We only ordered drinks and they were tasty but definitely be ready to wait. Would not recommend if you're in a rush. read more

I am SO happy this bakery/coffee shop opened up in the 'hood! It just opened yesterday, April 7. I got to visit today and it is GREAT! If you are familiar with Small Victory, you know how wonderful their breads and pastries are. I'm pleased to report that this new site has all thier expected bells and whistles - and then some! This new site is huge (compared to thier other locations and the old Yaletown site, anyhow). There is a long counter and display case for their food items, and a separate beverage counter (which I think is smart). Don't expect a vibrant interior; rather, the palette is muted and calming. They say they took inspiration from the nearby water and marinas, but to me it seemed rather monochromatic, with watery blues and aquamarine, and no artwork on the walls. I liked the layout, with lots of seating areas (and more to come, when their spacious outdoor patio opens up). And the place is immaculate. Even the huge bathroom was immaculate. Like, hospital-clean. (I hope it all stays that way!). Now for the food... oh, where to begin! (NOTE TO SELF: If you're on a diet, do NOT even walk through these doors! DANGER!). Everything looks bloody AMAZING. I shared with my kid an almond croissant and a pear danish. I also got a sample of a cinnamon croissant "bite" (like donut holes, but made from croissants). OMG. I'm from Montreal so I'm used to high quality croissants and I'm usually disappointed in pastries not from France or QC, but wow, these were wonderful. And all their tarts and cakes looked equally wonderful. They have a huge selection of desserts, but I was most surprised by thier lunch and brunch offerings: so many sandwiches and "power bowls" and soups and, wow, their chicken pot pies looked fabulous, as did thier quiches. Just...wow. Tons of options. And then there are the beverages. You who know me know I love me my Starbucks, but I've been trying to only patronize Canadian places lately and only buy Canadian, so I got me a dirty chai here and, yes, it was different than my usual Starbucks but it was equally good. Just different. I plan on getting used to this drink here and only come here now (sorry Starbucks. It's not personal!). Thier loaves of bread for sale looked amazing, too. I was just a bit disappointed that, with all thier bread options, they don't offer challah. Sad! Lastly, I gotta say, the folks behind the counter here could NOT have been nicer or more knowledgable about the cafe and all its offerings. (David, I'm talking about YOU!). (Natalia, you were great too, as was my drink's barista). Everyone was super friendly and made my whole experience here top-notch. I already know that I'm going to be a regular. Welcome to Yaletown, Small Victory! We are so glad you're here! read more

Butter croissant was good. Tiny bathroom on the left hand side! Squeezing in was uncomfortable and I'm not a big person. Especially gross when there wasn't another available and it was unflushed. read more

Quaint cafe to get some work done. Ordered the croissandwich along with a scone and it was the perfect light bite after a weekend work session. Everything tasted fresh and the croissant was nice and flaky read more

sad to see small victory move out of their homer street location, it used to be one of my go-to spots and felt like a tucked away gem. the new marinaside café, open for about four months now, is bright, spacious, and beautifully situated with a panoramic view of false creek. inside, a long glass counter showcases an inviting selection of croissants, cream puffs, tarts, and scones. they also offer a brunch and lunch menu daily from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. i had originally come for their oat vanilla coffee slush, but it had already sold out by 2:00 pm. instead, i went with the strawberry cloud matcha ($7.75 + $1.25 for oat milk). the barista hand whisked the matcha and whipped the strawberry foam until it looked like a soft pink cloud. the flavours were subtle, almost too much so, and i suspect my drink may not have been made with oat milk, i'm lactose intolerant, so i usually notice a few hours later. despite the hiccup, i'm glad small victory has found such a lovely new home, and i'll be back to see what else they're serving up. read more

Small Victory was a huge victory in my book. The pastries and sandwiches and drinks it all was phenomenal. The pastries weren't too sweet and the perfect combination with a matcha latte. The service was kind and quick and we were able to go twice during our trip. I would highly recommend this bakery, breakfast spot to anyone visiting Yaletown. read more

We came here for the second time for morning coffees and pastries today. My cortado was rich, strong and creamy and my croissant was as buttery as it could be. I could see and taste the golden goodness at the bottom of the puffy pastry. The best part was the baguette we bought to take home. We knew it was going to be good when the cashier handed the bag to us. It was warm and the crust yielded to touch. We consumed our coffees and pastries on a bench by the Seawall just outside the café but headed home sooner than planned because we could wait to dig in to the baguette with our recently purchased French butter. The baguette went quickly with slabs of butter. read more

first time visiting this location since they relocated in yaletown. Much brighter and spacious location for sure. Tried their espresso macchiato and avocado mascarpone toast. i personally like sliced avocado on avocado toast and the balsamic was a good addition to the avocado toast. read more

We had some time to kill and stopped in for a warm drink on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It was busy, but we found seats in the covered outdoor area. We ordered a London Fog and a latte--both were great. Friendly staff and surprisingly clean given how much foot traffic they had. read more

Super excited that this has finally opened up. I use to frequent the og location and now it's even in a better spot alongside the marinaside. Beautiful open space, with more seating. Love the interior and also the flow of grabbing food and coffee. The service was great! And the food as usual hits the spot. My go to is the Spanish Latte, Chicken Caesar Salad foccacia, lemon Tart, and cookie! Nom nom nom! read more

Overprice , mediocre service and cold coffee. I would give a big zero if they would have it.

The service was fantastic, a bit pricey for though. The food and coffee were not hot enough.
