My husband and I were visiting from Vancouver and spent the afternoon working at this coffee shop. The service was efficient as... we noticed that the tables were cleaned right after patrons left and the coffee was well-made. We had flat whites! The browniesand lemon squish were so good! The atmosphere and seating was also very comfortable! Good job! We will visit again. Greatcoffee! Read more
Last weekend i was in Oak Bay Area visiting a friend of mine , I ordered myself a cup of coffee and some dessert , and a cup of... tea for my friend. The coffee was ok but the cake was not so good at all. This was my second time here in three years . Kind of?? disappointed. I don?t think the staffs who works here knew everything they had here . If you don?t believe me try this :asking anyone who work there if they sell lemon tarts! Read more
Great food and great coffee. I'd highly recommend it for that alone but as always, service plays a big part in my reviews. The... service is cool and calm and not overly friendly. I'd say it lacks the charm of a place that calls itself a locally owned coffeeshop. To me, local means friendly and the service here is distant and minimal. But the latte's are great. :) Read more
This is a great little coffee shop, that also serves light snacks (soups and sammies), along with beer, wine, and other... beverages. The decor is tasteful, live music on Wednesdays, and helpful staff. Don't be put off by the negative reviews you maysee here from selfish students. When we went tonight, several students were sitting alone at tables for 4 or 6, nicely spreadout with all their books and laptops, where they sat for 3+ hours, ordering one coffee... They could easily have at a smallertable, to show consideration for others. I can hardly blame the owner for asking people to move, so paying customers can enjoysitting together for a nice coffee. I too would be frustrated if students occupied 70% of my sitting area, using my cafe astheir personal office/bedroom for hours at a time. In fact, many cafes have started "laptop-free" zones or times to help makecafes enjoyable for everyone, not just students. Don't blame the hard working owner for trying to make his business availableand inviting to a wider range of customers. Read more
How to waste $5 in 10 minutes: One of the employees forgot my order today and was passive aggressive towards the mistake he... made. As I had only come to the cafe to have a cold drink, I was aware of what I had ordered. I would never in my life lie aboutsomething as small as a coffee order and if he had handled it in a professional matter I wouldn't be wasting my time writing areview. As a mature adult, I am aware of the importance of admitting when one makes a mistake and while it is possible that noteveryone else has reached this point, then those individual should not be working in the service industry. After 10 minutes ofsitting down, I was asked to move tables as there was a bigger group coming, which I was expecting. Unfortunately, the way thatI was asked was rather rude. The group who were sitting down at our table had 10 times the manners that the employee had. I wishthey were the ones serving me today instead of the staff member. I was disappointed by how uncomfortable I felt at thislocation. I have liked all of the other staff members but they do not make up for my experience. By reading the other comments,I know the owner (possibly the boy who served me today) will defensively reply to this review using excuses, instead of changingthe reasons why this store has gotten so many bad reviews.

I stopped by on a whim this afternoon while on a walk and was greeted to a friendly atmosphere, polite service, and when I got... my food home I was fairly impressed by the quality of the chicken pot pie. The coffee isn't the best I've ever had, but itsatisfied my caffeine cravings very well. Would recommend for sure. Read more
Great local coffee shop rejuvenated!
