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!

Their espresso blend is from Fantastico but is unique to their shop and despite liking bolder espressos, I really liked their blend -- it was pretty even and full flavour-wise. If you're looking for a well-pulled and well-roasted coffee, the latte is a good way of sampling what they have to offer. When it came to atmosphere and service, it totally complemented the coffee. The place is modern and clean, with a very brightly designed space -- lots of white with light wood and brass accents -- and the service, in typical YYJ style, was eager and helpful and generally nice. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. Will totally visit again whenever I'm in town! PS Home made pop tarts are pretty amazing too.

This is a great way to support indigenous businesses as each package features art from different nations across turtle island and each represents a part of the medicine wheel. Part of proceeds also go to support indigenous artists. So not only is it absolutely a delicious luxurious tasting coffee, it is also an ethical company that gives back to the community. I highly Recommend ordering this coffee and I can't wait to try to the other 3 flavors.

We were a group of 6 women and loved sitting outside in the garden. The food was quick and we did order inside but they kindly brought everything out to us.

We got 1 of the front tables in the front window area and it was just soo quaint! Loved it. We ordered Sourdough Tartine-2 poached eggs, Fol Epi sourdough, cashew cheese, broccoli, romesco, served with greens and added homemade sausage. It was really flavorful and delicious!! Great combo!! The sausage was also very juicy and tasted yummy. We also got the honey rooibos vanilla latte and sweet and salty latte. And both drinks were great!! I also had a carrot muffin to go and it was moist and very tasty! Soo charming when you are in the area!

The coffee was good, but if you're visiting Murchie's, get the tea. This is clearly where they shine. The selection is impressive, and the tea is fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or just looking to try something different, it's worth it. A great spot to take a break while exploring downtown Victoria.

I really love the New Zealand theme and honoring their ancestors and culture through this coffee shop. However, the tea here is not very strong or very good. The matcha was super weak and I got a London fog, but it just tasted like milk. I will say I love that they had macadamia milk as an option for a milk alternative so that's really fun and cool. I do wish they served a better version of a Matcha and other tea products. I think their coffee is probably good but again we wanted to go for tea. Overall service of the staff was good and again it's not the best Matcha, but I really loved the vibe in the decor.

I thought I'd return, to use the cards and also give them another chance. Well, it will be my last time. The overall staff "vibe" is too busy doing whatever to help. We ordered some mortadella from the deli, didn't specify the thickness and wasn't asked, we came home to find it cut super thick (think bologna). Our fault for not specifying. $19 for 500g We then asked for a loaf of raisin bread. It was listed for $7.25 yet on the receipt it was $9..... A $8 bag of crouton sticks and we ventured to the cafe. This time knowing better we didn't order hot food. A few cookies and a mocha. This was fine, however the mocha seemed to lack mocha... was very pale in colour, not sure if it was missed or just weak. Not sure this will matter to anyone as the store seems to have a very loyal following and is busy. But we won't be back again.
