Do not go here for anything but coffee. They have a pretty cute souvenir collection and I was very…read moretempted to get their tumbler. However, we just got an iced matcha latte and latte instead. I think this place had the worst matcha I've ever tasted. Usually cafes will serve smth that tastes like sweet milk but this just tasted like water..so I feel like their milk was also not good. That being said the latte was very delicious. Their coffee is very aromatic and the latte was somehow very rich, smooth and creamy. I just don't know how the milk in the latte was so good and the milk in the matcha was terrible. I got a house blend bag as well and it's more on the fruity/acidic side if you like coffee like that.

Excellent service!! Yummy baking and lunches, it's our favourite coffee shop in town!!read more

Amazing scone, got us thinking we gotta try baking some ourselves, and the curry meat pie was very flavorful. We are also taking leftover mango chutney home it's that good. Oh yes lattes also great in fun big cups, and friendly staff. We sat in the couch by the big window so we could watch parents and kiddos walking to school. A great hip cafe in Duncan, who knew :)

We LOVE Hanks!!!…read more When we arrived just a little before 9am on a Saturday morning, there were about 10 people ahead of us and about another 5 waiting for their order. The place is truly a bakery haven! They have so much stuff, from croissants, quiches, pies, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cookies, breads, danishes, scones, cakes, etc! We found it so difficult to choose but went with their sausage rolls, quiche and latte. The staff were so friendly and wearing their beautiful warm smiles. We drove out to Mill Bay and had our breakfast by the water, it was magical with the sunshine. LOVED the sausage roll; so moist and flavourful. The pastry was so flaky and I'm not even kidding when I say I wanna go back again tomorrow!!! The quiche was also delicious. It had lots of potatoes and was very filling. Again, the pastry was delicious. The latte was also nutty and velvety! Such a beautiful experience! Parking was tight but we found one shortly after we arrived. Hanks have parking stalls reserved for its customers, so be sure to check and park at the right spot. It is free.

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!
