This is a great little chocolate shop! I loved the big…read moreselection of individual chocolates, and it looked like they had packaged varieties as well. I opted for a dark chocolate peanut butter and a chocolate orange truffle. Both were pretty tasty. Not mind blowing, but definitely good and for a fair price. The building is beautiful and very historic so I loved the vibe. They were also kind enough to offer me a sample. I returned later after learning from a tour group that Queen Elizabeth adores the vanilla chocolates here, so I went back in and asked to try her favorite. It was just like a cream egg! I guess Rogers sends her a box of those goodies twice a year. That's so cool! Thumbs up!

Staff can be very rude!! My 9 year old went in on her own and the lady made her feel like crap. She…read moretold her that she didn't have enough money for an item and then just said "sorry bye". Customer service should extend beyond taking money. Perhaps pointing things out that she did have enough for would be better for a young potentially future customer.

I love the idea of having good bubble tea and food all in the same place! The cute mascot is also a…read morebig plus for me. We stopped by because someone had a massive bubble tea craving. They have a lot of different drinks to choose from and while they have a symbol on the menu to represent drinks that can be made hot, a symbol to let people know which drinks are or can be made caffeine free would be nice. We did get good recommendations on what to get by the nice person at the counter though for non-caffeinated beverages. You can order a la carte or get the special which includes a bubble tea and a choice of hot dog. We opted for the combo and I tried out the house milk tea with boba/tapioca. I requested it at 25% sweetness which was just right for me when combined with the syrupy boba. I loved that they use more sustainable packaging such as paper cups and straws. The heat sealed lids on top of the cups make for a better drinking experience since it's harder for you to spill your drink. The hot dogs were equally tasty. The toppings on our dogs were plentiful, very pleasing to the eye, and I loved the Asian flavors such as kimchi and furikake on ours. The hot dogs themselves were cooked to perfection and perfectly plump with a nice bite to them. Service was super friendly from the employees. The only minor inconvenience is that there are no public restrooms available but luckily we were able to find a restroom at our next destination in the area.

Cute branding but the drink was just ok, maybe their hotdogs will be better? Tried multiple drinks…read moreand I still have the same opinion about this store

I'm overjoyed to learn that there is a Caffe Artigiano in the Greater Victoria area! After our…read moregrocery haul, we decided to go and check it out! Caffe Artigiano has been a favourite of mine since my visits to Vancouver, and the coffee/tea and specialty beverages are all delicious. This location has an enormous open and airy vibe to it. It is located inside of Westshore Town Centre. They also have an outside patio where you can sit and relax with an iced latte or an iced London fog to cool off! I like the place and the pieces of art on the wall. They also sell merchandise and coffee beans to go. The service is fantastic! The baristas were quite warm and helpful, and they also provided excellent recommendations. I appreciate their explaining some of their new menu items. I had the iced London fog, and it was exactly as good as I remembered! It was cool and refreshing, just what I needed on a hot summer day! I love Caffe Artigiano, and would recommend their Langford location. We'll be back!

My husband opted for the sea salt and coffee double scoop and I got the matcha lemon and roasted strawberry.

The service was fast and friendly. We would definitely go back to this lil neighbourhood spot!

Came in here on a whim while visiting from Vancouver. I really like it, great selection, very nice…read moreand helpful staff very attentive and willing to answer questions. Nice selections of all kind of spirits, wine from various regions, and craft beers (cold and on shelf). Pricing is in line with other stores, that I could tell - perhaps slightly more expensive than BC liquor, but not something that would prevent me from coming back.

When I approached this store I noticed multiple homeless people that were camped outside asking…read moreeveryone for change. I had been asked three times before I got into the store. As my hand reached for the door handle and went to open it, a gross sticky feeling, as I wrapped my fingers around the nasty bar. I open the door to a cloud of air smelling like decaying fish. The first few steps were awkward and disturbing, the whole staff was staring at me like I was someone who was going to steal. They followed me around the whole store. I said hello and they didn't say anything back they just glared and stared me down like I was a criminal. I decided to get a box of beer to get the hell out of hell. I dodged around the staff members in the tiny, skinny isles. To make it to the front desk. I say "hello" she snarls back with spiteful spit projectiles with a crude voice thundering behind it " ID" . I pass her my credentials. At the time I got my picture taken I had a beard but at this moment I was clean shavin. She looks up at me and said "do you think I'm dumb?" "With all do respect I just want my beer and to go." She twists her head in a jerking motion ninety degrees, silently conversing with the staff in the isles. She whips her head back at me, and we make fierce eye contact once more. I was sweating. She says with a voice that is almost a yell"No". "Pardon me" I retort. She says "you're an idiot to think that I'm going to sell you booze with a fake ID, get out of here before I call the police!" So like an sane person I grabbed my licence and got the hell out of hell.
