An amazing amusement park full of tea!…read more I've never seen so many teas offered, with such an outstanding variety and creativity of tea blends. Even if tea is not your cup of tea you can't help but be amazed with Murchies. There's plenty of coffee varieties as well as very nice accessories and gifts...and that's just the retail area. The tea, coffee, bakery treats, plus breakfast and lunch items are extensive. The specialty tea and coffee drink creations are truly inspired. Deliciousness awaits you at Murchie's.

Have always loved visiting Murchies on every visit to Victoria. However, this time my visit was not…read moreso pleasant. We were there on a not so busy Thursday afternoon for a quick afternoon snack and tea. I ordered a bruschetta and mom ordered a blueberry tart and we both ordered earl Grey tea. As soon as we set our trays and was about to eat, we noticed a mouse running through the seating area (fairly without fear, probably in search of food). I immediately lost my appetite. However because I was starving I took a bite of my bruschetta. It tasted hard as a rock. The blueberry tart though was pretty good, mildly sweet and perfect. However couldn't really spend a lot of time here since the mouse was running around even with all the tables being filled with humans.

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!

I came here cuz I wanted to try something different today than Starbucks. The place is cozy. Plenty of tables on the sidewalk. Plenty of tables inside as well. I didn't think it was going to be conducive to someone reading or working but once you enter there's plenty of seats and table just for that to your left. Seats are comfortable enough that you can focus but not fall asleep. There's plenty of people working. There's a long line when I came in. They serve sandwiches, patties, some pastries. Pastries are mostly vegan or veggie, of that variety. I wish they had more choices of pastries as I was craving one. I ended up just ordering coffee. Im not sure how fresh those wrapped pastries are. Coffee is just about right, medium roast. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. Tried the Moka Ball which is basically peanut butter in a ball. It's hard and bit cold. Am not sure if it's supposed to be that way. It's ok. Wanted to get a sugar boost as I am feeling a little sluggish. Ambient music is also just right. Not blasting as some of the Starbucks stores do. You dont know if you're in a club or coffeeshop. This place has potential if they just have more fresh choices. A little friendliness from the staff would make wonders and convey warmth. Hope to comeback and try something different.
