A hidden gem in Gordon Head. Coffee is great, the chai lattes are especially good too. However, the pineapple coconut muffins are simply outstanding. I get them twice a week! Staff are relaxed and friendly. The owner is a character and enjoys getting to know all his regular customers. This is the only coffeeshop you'll want to relax at in the area. read more

Township Coffee - Chai latte and a pineapple coconut muffin. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This is my new favorite coffee shop in BC! Best matcha and simply the best sandwich I've had in eons maybe forever? Seriously! Eric the owner is funny - a fabulous host and obviously has fun and the other employees were fun too! I can't recommend enough I can't wait to return'. read more

This cafe would be fantastic if it weren't for the owner who pontificates loudly and endlessly, making it impossible to focus on anything.

Came here on our to do a walk nearby and saw it had good reviews. Our experience was quite the opposite and frankly a disorganized disaster. We got in line, it was busy so we waited behind like 3 people before it was our turn to order. Then, these two teenage girls cut us in line and asked if they could buy the earrings. I was expecting the host taking coffee orders to tell them "yes you buy the earrings here at the cashier however there's a line.." but nope, she saw we were waiting and let them cut. Not to mention at this point there were 3 more people behind us. Finally we order, I got a turkey sandwich and she asked if I wanted the spicy or not spicy. I said not spicy and what did I get? The spicy sandwich. We ordered a matcha latte, a vanilla latte and a scone. About 20 ish minutes later the matcha latte came out with an americano... not what we ordered. The baristas got the next 3 orders wrong. After about 30 minutes we finally left with the correct drinks. That was kind of a disaster and I would not come back. read more

Recently moved into the neighbourhood and stopped by for an iced matcha with my roommate. We felt right at home! Friendly service, great drinks and the best sausage roll of my life. read more

Township Coffee - Iced matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

A group of 6 of us finished our morning walk at this coffee shop. One did not order anything and waited outside, 3 of the 6 of us were treated poorly including one who was outright offended. - A 2 year old with their mother were inside upon our arrival. The proprietor commented to us on how cute she was. As they were leaving he mentioned it again and glared at the child as they crossed the road. Creepy. - I ordered a drink that was posted as $5.25 but when it was rung up the staff member said '$6.35 please'. I questioned $1.10 difference - was it for taxes? He said no, it was for oatmilk. I had just specified regular milk. I held up the sign showing $5.25 and he said, 'Sorry, we haven't updated our sheet'. I asked, 'so will you honour the posted price?' The proprietor then stepped in saying the supplier had increased the cost of tea and they hadn't changed the signage, and no, the price stood. It's not even that the customer is always right, which for a business should be paramount for returning clients - I was holding the posted sign! - Finally, after I had moved to wait for my drink, the proprietor made a comment to the 3rd person in our group about 'your generation (we're boomers, not dinosaurs) are too picky, looking at everything, The young ones just pay.' If there was a negative review button it would be at the extreme end minus 5. Won't be back, will spread far and wide. read more

The coffee and Baking are on point every time. Eric loves his business and it shows. The staff and vibe are very welcoming. The returning customers are proof to a great coffee stop as there are so many options but the cream rises. Besides the obvious the staff / music / patio are awesome and encourage all to give it a try as you will appreciate a good coffee. Keep it up and keep brewing. read more

Good service good coffee. Very friendly. Grinded up my coffee beans for me to take :)

Really nice staff working here, they're happy to talk about local events or anything at all, even with non-regulars (that's us!). They also have really great sausage rolls. Stuffed full of lots of sausage, it was very satisfying (and maybe a bit heavier than expected). Be sure to try one if you haven't yet! I don't drink coffee, but my friends who were with me said that the coffee was fantastic. I'm glad that we were staying near by. Wifi password is gordonhead read more

Best coffee in town! If you're looking to be treated royally, this is your place - Erik's team puts down some fantastic java while making you feel like you're at home. Great place for a first date read more

The employees swear a bunch and things are way overpriced. A man with curly brown hair consistently used the f bomb and the word sh*t.

A lovely little café in Gordonhead. I enjoy drinking coffee here and the business owner is a gregarious and kind gentleman. There is plenty of room to dine inside but there is also enough room to sit outside. On rainy days, there is a small amount of space available for indoor dining and it can accommodate a small but sure group of customers. read more

Township is a hidden gem in Gordon head, Victoria. With a relaxed atmosphere, this locally owned and operated coffee shop is manned by the owner Eric.

Simply, the best!! Love this little spot! Fantastic drinks, wonderful food, and a great location, with lots of street parking available.

I made here over the holiday days finally, and had a mocha - for which I was offered like, 5 different non-dairy nut milk options, which I thought was very fancy. The person who I think is the owner, was doing paperwork at a table and shouted over to the staff that there were also dairy free mint chocolate shavings they could sprinkle on top - "at no charge," he said jokingly. Anyway, importantly, the coffee (complete with nut milk and shavings), was delicious. The place seemed hopping, even in the weird purgatory time between Christmas & New Year's, so be mindful that if you're looking for somewhere to sit at a table, you might not find sieve here. read more

Awesome spot in the middle of a coffee shop desert. Staff is fabulous and so are the snacks to get with the coffee. Huge plus to the neighborhood! read more

An all around great coffee shop. they're super passionate about the coffee they serve and their baked goods are out of this world. You cannot make a bad decision when it comes to their muffins, as they're all amazing. To top it off, the owners are super lovely and friendly. it's just your quintessential, lovely neighbourhood coffee shop. read more

One of the best decaf Americanos I've ever had. The coffee was so smooth with no bitterness. The two employees there were friendly and chatty. read more

Coffee was good. More depth and not as bright as that at Hide and Seek. We enjoyed the coffee more here and will be back.

Best coffee place I think I have ever been to. Their baked goods are very delicious and baked fresh daily. The staff is friendly and do a great job of engaging with the customers. Would highly recommend their hot chocolate and their scones. read more

Thank goodness there is a spot for amazing coffee in Gordon Head. Erik, the owner, has learned the craft of espresso from Fantastico and keeps the passion alive with the most amazing and beautiful drinks. Not only that, they have Byron Fry's Bread for sale, fresh handmade sandwiches, baked goods and a selection of gluten free items. I'd totally recommend a visit to this new cafe (and maybe a hike on Mount Doug too!) read more

Township Coffee - Jaga silk tea in a beautiful little cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Amazed yet again! Ordered an Iced Matcha Green Tea Latté and Erik the owner told me the matcha was the one Jagasilk Teabar in Nootka Court uses. He elaborated and told me Township imports their matcha from Japan and it is very freshly made. I then noticed they were using an almond milk I'd never seen before (Pacific Natural Food's Barista's Series), which Erik then mentioned they get shipped in from Oregon! The latté was very good!! Highly recommend you try it. I was only going to order a coffee with a bit of milk and sweetener, but was told very nicely that Township doesn't carry sweetener crap due to its aspartame! Although I am a sweetener fan, I can definitely appreciate that Township holds their clients health as a top priority! High quality ingredients with spectacular and personable service at this awesome coffee shop! read more

Township Coffee - Iced Green Tea Matcha Latté! Extremely delicious! Matcha comes from Japan, Almond Milk from Oregon! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Fantastic coffee, fantastic snacks, fantastic people. No-BS, run by real people who have fun and love what they do.

Just went in there today right before closing (like 5.45pm). Great service and great coffee as well. The barista obviously knows what he's doing and puts a lot of passion into his work. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Always have a great coffee or tea at this place, people are equally amazing. Try the sausage rolls and you're life will never be the same. I would probably drive from Calgary just for one sausage roll. read more

A very welcoming atmosphere and excellent coffee. I highly recommend this business... it's one of my favorite cafes in Victoria!

Personally, I think I am somewhat a coffee connoisseur! I always go out of my way for a good cup of coffee. And when I found this place, I was in my happy place! Victoria is a small town, I was super surprised when I found a coffee this good here! This place is small, off your usual touristy places right in the middle of a residential area. But the coffee they made here is world class! It is better than many places in Seattle, Boston, or NYC. I love it! Since finding this place, I have been back here everyday! I wish I can bring this place back to Boston with me! read more

Honestly, this is one of the best coffee shops ever. Strong, delicious drinks and amazing staff keep me coming back even though I live downtown. Affogato in the summer is delicious! I'm usually served by the same man (possibly the owner?) everytime I come, and he never fails to put a smile on my face. I have yet to learn his name, but you can see his passion plain as day. Thank you for making every visit amazing! read more

Township Coffee - Macchiato, recommended by lovely barista - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

I love Township. Not only does it fill a need in the Gordon Head community but it also feels like an integral part of the community. Friendly knowledgable staff and Erik the owner is amiable and a great barista. I love that they carry Jaga Silk maccha and personally recommend the masala macchai a Japanese green tea and chai combo. Delish!! The outdoor seating is lovely and the interior open and warm with nice wood features. The food is fresh and homemade by local vendors. Often gluten free and /or caters to other dietary special needs. Love this gem in Gordon Head just across from the soccer centre. read more

Of the many very fine coffee shops in greater Victoria this is my personal favourite. Excellent Coffee, excellent Tea, the best cold sandwich (meat and veg options available) in town and some of the most delicious baking you can find anywhere in the city (which is saying a lot), however the reason it's my favourite is simply because nowhere else will you find a more fun and welcoming atmosphere. This place is the heart of the surrounding community and it's all down to the way it's run and Eric who runs the place. read more

I visited yesterday and the first thing I noticed was that this place is more than a coffee shop, it is a community centre. People were constantly coming in greeting one another and engaging with the owner who seemed genuinely thrilled to see each and every person who walked through the doors. As for the coffee, it is exceptional. And I am a coffee snob. Erik, the owner lovingly and expertly crafted my Africano so that it was smooth and creamy and I could taste the notes of the beans without any acid bitterness. It was perfect. I also had a chocolate yogurt muffin and it was moist and flavourful. I will definitely stop by when I am in the area again. read more

This is such a quaint neighbourhood cafe close to home, every time I go in there, the atmosphere is so charming and sweet, everyone seems to enjoy working there with each other, there's always good indie music on, they serve a lot of locally-sourced things, it's a gem of a spot read more

What a lovely place. Nice people good atmosphere and delicious beverage. Coffee does not have that gross citrusy taste and the food is tasty

This may sound extreme, but this is the best coffee shop I've been to. The basics: - Drip coffee is really good, on par with other good coffee shops. I didn't try any espresso drinks. - Sandwiches are astonishingly good: moist hearty whole wheat, super thick, good value, delicious and fresh. Way better than your average coffee shop sammy. - I also had a chocolate muffin and this too was fresh wholesome and delicious. The food tastes honest rather than just flashy and indulgent. Ie: you taste the cocoa not just sugar. Here's the big thing though: The owner was there both times I came here and he clearly cares deeply about what he's doing. Him and his staff are extremely welcoming, conversing with many regulars and strangers (such as I), and the overall atmosphere is very positive and fun. The owner's care is apparent in the coffee, food, and atmosphere which makes this a fantastic coffee shop. The staff too are great. Highly highly recommend. read more

I went in for coffee. But the coffee taste burnt. I wasn't impressed. I didn't get any food. It looks good tho. My friend got a dirty chai latte which was also awful. I don't suggest going here for the coffee read more

Great coffee and tea and fabulous service. The vegan cupcakes they serve are amazing - but are very addictive!!

Great coffee and baked goods from this little place in Gordon Head. Why were you not here when I lived on the other side of the soccer pitch 10 years ago?? They're worth a visit if you find yourself in the area. read more
