By far, the best and hottest coffee on the island. I stop in every time on my way to Canadian Blood Services. Wish the other Serious Coffee locations had the same quality coffee. Love you guys!!

Fantastic breakfast or lunch spot, I spend about 10-15 on food and drink. The sandwiches are delicious and so are the drinks. Staff is incredible, it is a lovely spot to stop in for a quick bite, coffee or even a smoothie.

A little piece of Zen after driving the Malahat. If you're serious about your latte this is the place. 4 shots in a lrg! I like to mix and match three shots decaf and one shot regular! But 4 shots are sure great when you need to complete a mission!

Really friendly and kind staff! They were very generous and threw in an extra pastry on the house. Iced chai and butter chicken wrap we’re both great and complimented each-other well.

Stopped for coffee, a muffin and a sandwich on a road trip heading up to the Cathedral Grove old growth Forest. The coffee was flavorful, the muffin was fresh that morning, and so was the sandwich. There were a few tables in there with locals solving world problems.

This small coffee joint is a hidden gem! It’s rarely busy, so the line is never long. The service is always friendly, and the beverages are well-made. It has a great vibe if you want to relax and enjoy your brew.
