Shatterbox is quite new to the Victoria Public Market but came in hot, friendly and ready to go! They mixed into the community and vibes of the market so perfectly, I couldn't imagine not having them there. They got my hooked on their mocha... it is AMAZING and I've found myself getting this tasty beverage 5 days of the week. Maybe I am starting my coffee drinking career... who knew? They also support a local bakery: Blue Monday Bakery and quite often I mix my order up a bit and add a vegan doughnut from our friends at Blue Monday. All in all, it's a great local coffee shop. Check them out! ps. Vegan doughnuts served Wed-Fri.

I couldn't try their coffee as like every montrealers i drink coffee after 6 pm lik 2-3 times a week ( seems like easterners are thougher than westerners Lol). But as we were there waiting an hr begore going to the dentist( for my fiancee) we tried serious coffee café and we were happily surprised. Their americano are very good, enough to say that when we'll want to drink a coffee 5 min from home it will be the place.

If I'm being completely honest with you, I've never really been the biggest Starbucks fan. I've…read morealways enjoyed their drinks but as a student, I just couldn't get behind their prices... But then I started visiting more of them. I began realizing that the atmosphere alone warrants a visit to Starbucks and the employees hired typically always have a wonderful attitude and are very attentive to detail. I mean, think about it, the baristas have SO many different variables that can go into a single drink and somehow they nail it every time! I've really enjoyed all of the drinks that I've gotten here (let's be real, holiday drinks are the BOMB) and next time, I'm looking forward to trying some of their food as well. Although this location might be small, it has a wonderful, homey feel and is located right in the corner of the Quadra Plaza (although it's a bit tucked away so keep your eyes peeled!). I'll definitely be coming back, whether that be to get a specialty drink or to hang out in some big comfy chairs and get work done. And as a reminder, thank your baristas! They spend all day on their feet, keep a smile on their face, and get everything right... I mean, everything but the name on the cup ;)

While most Starbucks are relatively good but occasionally slip on quality, the Mackenzie and Quadra…read morelocation holds to a consistently high standard. The staff are very friendly, the drinks they serve are always properly made and, unlike most Starbucks that I have been to, the blenders don't require the special attention of the baristas to shake out ice chunks (I no longer have to request that my frappucinnos be double-blended now that I frequent this location). The shop it self is nice and large with plenty of seating including a table shaped to accommodate wheelchair customers. The location of the shop, in a corner nook of the strip mall, also gives it a large patio with seating for many more patrons. One thing to keep in mind, if you are driving, is to try to avoid the upper lot. It has a limited amount of room and traffic flows in a one-way loop which makes it awkward. Instead park on the lower parkade level where there is always lots of parking and your car will stay cool and/or dry depending on the season.

The egg bun is so good and filling I had it more than once, and I think my hubby did the same with the cranberry muffin! The staff is friendly and the service is very good.

This is a tough one for me to review. My wife likes extra strong coffee. I don't. The coffee at…read morethis cafe was strong...far too strong for me, but fine for my wife. It's a nice place, if a little bucolic. There is a variety of baked goodies to choose from, most wrapped in cling wrap which makes one wonder about their provenance. But the cinnamon brioche was good, the almond and blueberry thing was a little dry and sort of ordinary. If my visit here today was typical, I would advise those who don't want teeth curlingly strong coffee to pass by and look for something different. Anyway the place is nice, the staff are friendly, and it's a good place to spend a lazy hour.

Really bad coffee. Ordered Cappuccino. It was badly made. It was boiling hot, not as it should be.read more

We stopped by Serious Coffee on a Sunday morning before catching the ferry, and it was the perfect…read moreway to start a long travel day back to the States. We were greeted with warm smiles, and the muffins had just come out of the oven--they hadn't even had a chance to put them on display yet! Everything tasted incredibly fresh. We picked up a couple of smoothies, a banana chocolate muffin, a protein ball, and a chai, and every single item was delicious. The shop has such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made us want to linger a little longer before hitting the road. If you're looking for a friendly local coffee shop with fresh food and great drinks, I highly recommend Serious Coffee. We'll definitely stop in again the next time we're in town!
