Solid, iconic place to go in Victoria...wonder why it's not open 24 hours anymore?
Good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices
Very excellent with chocolate and hot and cold beverage
Always a great time here! Fantastic for a late night treat
Great Nanaimo Cheesecake!
Simply awesome!
The best thing I can say about this place is the good atmosphere. The free-use jukebox and homely environment is nice. That being said, the food here is old and dried out, neither myself, nor my friends could finish their orders. It lacks flavor that they try to replace with sugar and icing. The whipped cream on top of my chai cheese cake was so dried out that I could lift it off in one piece, and when tapping it to my plate, I was rewarded with the delicious noise of a solid thunk. Instead of a soft, creamy whipped cream, they have a dried out dollop of old topping. For the most part the staff is friendly, barring one member that, when I asked a simple question regarding portion sizing, she let out a huge sigh, turned her back on me, and when she returned, she began to complain about how people had been asking her questions her entire shift. As though it is'nt her job. All in all, its a nice place to look at, and the drinks are good. But the staff need better training in customer service, and the food definitely needs to be looked at. I will not be returning for some time.
Old jukebox Great games place (bring your own) Yummy desserts (not GF) And meals
Awesome food service and price!
Great spot, open late and free jukebox
Great bakery!!
The QV is such a great place to hangout and eat. The food is great and the staff is amazing!!! I recommend all to head there also it's not exspensive!!
Too sweet and the icing has a strange taste to it, apparently the cheese cake is bomb tho.
Good sandwich & good service!
Great food decent prices friendly staff
Best place in Vic for desserts! Great staff and atmosphere too! Definitely my favourite spot.
Great deal. Sometimes kind of slow. Super great staff. Bathrooms often not in super shape.
Awesome staff!
Always will be one of my top 3 favorites in victoria!!
Always a pleasure to hear!
Great local diner! They have a selection of vegan/vegetarian options as well. Conveniently open in the evening as well. Takeout containers are paper :)
Good food great prices friendly staff!
Breakfast burritos erryday.
Great food
Good food, good prices. This place is a bit different in that a lot of the food is preprepared and then heated to order but that doesn't detract from the good taste. More self-serve style and you may have a bird visit you at your table. Has outdoor patio for nice weather days. Service is friendly and fast.
Best place in town for amazing cheese cake!
We got the Peanut Butter Chocolate cheesecake and the Truffle Turtle cheesecake, along with two large coffees. The cheesecakes were really well made, moist, creamy, and the taste was on point. Albeit, a bit too sweet for us, but finished …
Great atmosphere and food!
Location, location, location!!! Very cool place to hangout with a large patio area and decent price items. You can take pictures of Chinatown from your seat!
Cheap great food
Solid 4.5 stars. This type of place is the best for group eating. Prepared meals means they may not be the freshest ever, but the variety available (and at really reasonable prices) made it easy to order for a crowd. Free jukebox is a fun perk. Food was all really good, but not exceptional.
Great selection of good food!
Great meeting place
Old disgusting stale dated food.
Eggs benny were decent for the price that was advertised. Got a medium coffee but as one can see, it was a rather big in terms of medium. Nice and open space with lots of outdoor patio space. Pay at order is how they operate.
It is what it is. Wish they would turn the quality up a bit. Its a great location.
Good place to go for cake. There is a wide variety of choice and the turtle cheesecake I had was very nice and they offer whipped cream to go with it. Also had a coffee - the roast had like an earthy taste to it which kind of suited the vibe of the cafe and wasn't bad, but have enjoyed more the coffee roast elsewhere
Been a long standing customer and through management changes QV remains our favorite late night sweet spot. The best gem in Victoria
A taste of home any time of day, whether it's a hearty lasagna, classic burger and fries, milkshakes to share or a slice of one of their many daily made pies and cakes, the food is all made in house by the wonderfully talented and friendly QV team. Love visiting to catch up with friends, take a moment from my day or have a quick meal in alternative to fast food options. Did I mention the classic style milkshakes have over 15 flavors? Open late, indoor and patio dining, and lots of vegan/gf options
Delicious food
Amazing local coffee and bakery, with great customer service and very relaxing atmosphere. I HIGHLY recommend this locally owned place!!
Friendly staff and great food at small prices.
Went here once and was very disappointed. All the food was microwaved and looked like it came in frozen from somewhere else. Ordered a breakfast burrito that was 80% chunks of potato with one terrible bite of grizzly bacon. No service, no atmosphere and stinky bathrooms.
We were so pleased to find this place while searching for an evening coffee/tea in the area. The coffee and tea were okay (my London Fog was too sweet and my husband's coffee was a bit watery) but overall it was perfectly fine and the hours were helpful.
Amazing pastrys
Cringe
The siren song of cheesecake slices is hard to resist, especially with such a neat variety.
Come here for breakfast sometimes pretty reasonable prices, they have great desserts.
Best l8 night in Vic
Great prices, great service, excellent coffee and excellent quality food with very reasonable proportions. Reccomend 100%
Only place w decent chocolate cake in town.
I have NEVER seen such an amazing selection of cheesecakes, pies, cookies and other desserts. The food here is wonderful and won't break the bank.
Delicious food
Great for treats
Cool atmosphere. Nice to have somewhere to hangout late that isn't a club or bar! Really kind service and has vegan cookies!
The cakes, chesse cake and shakes are amazing.
good food
Everything here is absolutely delicious! Most things are homemade with a couple exceptions a few things that come from other sources. Lots of Yummy homemade desserts too!
Super delishous foot and a great selectiin of pies, cakes etc.
Incredibly kind people running this place and the food is so fresh and excellent. The best cheesecake I've ever had outside of the east coast of America. I very highly recommended this very affordable casual Eatery
Great food and service
Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤
The have a really good selection of cakes and beverages. The staff is also very nice. The cake slices are very large as you can see in the photo – I could not finish that cake with a friend. I also got a vanilla milkshake and I really do not recommend it. It tasted like just cold iced milk. It was like $5 and I threw it out. The cake was not the best I had but it was good, and it was a very good price for the size. The place is cute, and it is in Chinatown in Victoria so if it’s your first time here go to Fantan alley. It is only like a 5-minute walk, if that. My friend got fries and a carrot cake and both of those were very good. The fries come with a chipotle mayo sauce and ketchup. She also really did not like the milkshake. However, the other flavours might be better. They had chocolate and strawberry. The place was not that well decorated, but it was cozy. I would probably come back again if I lived in Victoria but I doubt I will be back soon. I would give it a try if it’s my first time.
Great staff, cute interior & lots of homemade style food to choose from! Excellent for a quick bite to eat or stay for a full meal :)
Decent food but poor service and there was hardly any seating. I'm not sure if I'd go back.
I legitimately eat here at least three times a week. Prices are really hard to beat, and you have a great view of the gates to Canada's oldest Chinatown. There is something for everyone here, including Vegan + Gluten-Free options. You and your kids will love the variety of cheesecake flavours, and any of the other delicious desserts they have.
Amazing everything
Great coffee
Basic in every way but never the less it’s comfortable, never super busy, food and portions are good and lots of desserts ????
Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert options. Friendly service. Love their sandwiches!
Bottom bagel wasn't toasted and cold
Great service. Always pleasant staff + good homestyle food!
Best eats for cheap in downtown! Get a meal for $7 or eat the largest slice of cake you have ever seen. Great outdoor patio with sunshine and cold draught beer. Everything here was great! Highly recommended
Friendly staff and great food at small prices.
At first I was excited to come, the food and drinks are good and tasty. What I felt worried about is the fact that when the guy was preparing my milk shake, he let the milk bottle open on the counter for a while (what about flies?), Also the water bowl where they "clean" the spoon to serve coffee looked like it contained mix of different coffees instead of water to clean the spoons.
Love, love, love QV Bakery! They're open later than traditional bakeries which is so useful for evening cravings. The food is very high quality for wonderfully reasonable prices - a rarity in Victoria. The jukebox adds a great diner feel, and if you're up for a challenge you should try their Mt. Everest cake, it's a foot tall!
Big space, lots of cheesecake option. Ee got a piece of cheesecake but the outside is very hard
Great sweets, good eats, and the girls Rock!
Great ham and Swiss cheese sandwich with lots of vegetables.
The food had a funny taste to it (as my sister would say "like the refrigerator"). And I didn't like the taste of the London Fog because they used a certain type of tea I have no taste for because its bland. Again the funny taste ruined it for the other food items like the pie. Of course other people may have had a different, maybe even a better experience than I, and my dear sister. So I think I would rather go somewhere else.
Very friendly service, thanks!
Great price, great food!
Good for a quick snack, low quality ingredients tho.
Great selection of good food!
Food is decent in home made style. Grilled chicken burger was average, pickle fries and hot chocolate where good. I felt that prices are bit high. …

Great food, friendly staff and very clean Covid protocols in place and politely enforced
Great service ????????????
Great baked goods!
Shout out to QV for having giant slices of chocolate cake available for delivery because that's how I'm coping with coming up on 3 years of pandemic life. Their veggie lasagna is good too, I guess. ????
Best Vietnamese coffee cheesecake. We’ve tried a few other cakes, but that one consistently hits it out of the park. Our go to spot for reliably good desserts.
Tasty and very reasonable... Worth giving it a try!
Great service! I'm All about the mile high chocolate cake
Great place, great prices!
Staff very nice, some beers to drink and a good variety of desserts. Try Mt. Everest chocolate cake: a monster!
Yummy cheesecake
Homemade comfort food. Quick bites. Great selection.
Great variety of baking and sandwiches etc. Prices great, patio is awesome.
Loved the place ! Reached around their closing time n had the spicy cranberry cheesecake . Was a nice experiment . Loved the set up and the menu . Interestingly they've got a really good breakfast and lunch/dinner menu and at reasonable price . Sad I didn't get to know ab9ut the place earlier but I'm glad I did come across it before I left Victoria ! Definitely recommend for their dessert . As for breakfast - I'll let you'll know tmr ???? . Posting from the next day . Hearty breakfast for $10 ! So went in again and the cheesecakes are to die for . Had the mango lychee cheesecake n it was amazing . The Mexican spicy chicken with rice and salad was pretty good too . All in all highly recommended if you're a dessert person + looking for good quality and quantity food at reasonable prices and a really chill setting cafe
Desserts of great variety, the best Mac & cheese, weekend breakfast or stop by for coffee and muffin to take on your stroll through Victoria Victoria. I love QVs!
QV Cafe is one of my top favourite cafés in Victoria. I definitely reccomend trying their breakfast menu and their iced mochas!
Foods OK, getting a little dated but nicely located for Chinatown and City Hall.
Amazing baked cakes, pies, squares, and other goodies. The selection changes from week to week and is always delicious and well priced with a casual atmosphere. The food is quite good as well.
Why are you looking at my post, this place has been around for years and always fantastic.
Great food, decent prices and casual atmosphere
Went to QV after having a lack luster dinner at the canoe club....i am sitting on my couch with a tall glass of milk crushing one of the best and largest peices of chocolate cake I have ever had. Soooo dam good...I used to work in the night club industry downtown and after shift we would hit QV for lasagna and a dessert. qV always kicked ass great price and killer food. I was not aware that it was new owners but from what i was told it is the same baker same recipe. Not sure if that is correct but let me tell you THIS CHOCOLATE CAKE IS MENTAL. HUGE ,MOIST ,NOT TO SWEET AND VERY RICH. I big time say try the baked goods. Service was normal . closes earlier then I remember but I will most certainly be back for more cake. Thanks QV baker for kickin ass....
A real calm spot in an otherwise often not very enjoyable downtown Victoria evening. Great food and a very healthy ambience!
Don't just walk by. This is a great place
Good place to grab some grub.
Hidden gem. Nice cafe diner choices and amazing desserts. My son had a calzone which he devoured. Open feel with lots of windows and generally not too busy. We will definitely be adding this to our regular list.
I have been going to QV’s for years and have enjoyed the food up “until” the new owners have taken over. I just endured horrifyingly BAD Service so we just walked out to save our selves a painfully long wait. I’m pretty sure there where just 2 people on staff, 1 cook and 1 server. We must have waited to order at the front counter for over 15 minutes and were not greeted or acknowledged at all and It didn’t seem like it was going to happen anytime soon either and on top of that the the Cafe was not even that busy maybe 4 tables. Absolutely maddening. So we just left. “ Hire more staff “ and up the customer service, At least acknowledge your customers and let us know you’ll be right with us. Thanks for nothing!
Staff was super friendly and the food was delicious
Love the cheese cake
They microwave food here for you and also they have a good selection of sliced cakes and pies.
Great food
I like its location , staff are good, and open airy, price is good, and my son is 1/2 block away
If the only merit of a restaurant was the food, I'd consider five stars.. BUT when the staff say they will bring out your order and you have to remind them not once, but twice that you're waiting on your meal, it's poor service. And let me tell you how embarrassing it is for EVERY customer to ask how the lock works on the washroom; fix your damn lock. Spanish pie was spicy good, lasagna was delicious and apple pie was great. Based on poor performers like this, I'm not inclined to tip at the counter, and reserve my judgement until I finish my meal. Gratuities should be earned, not a de facto assumption!
Always amazing food and prices a good as well
Superb cheesecakes and other delicacies
Great food, friendly staff and amazing prices!
Their forbidden fruit cheesecake is to die for! Very creamy yet not too sweet. The presentation is very simple and beautiful as well. The cafe is very spacious and they have free secured wifi (password is at the back of cash register). Everything else looked so good and very tempting to get. They also have its own parking which is a plus!
Delicious cheesecake and excellent service.
Just on the edge of Victoria's China town. QV has great food, super prices, excellent hours, and to top it off great staff. If you are looking for a fancy restaurant than this may not be for you, but if you are looking for a friendly casual atmosphere this is the place for you. I love that they have a spot where they have jugs of water and cups no cost, help yourself. The sive of their desserts are shocking! They use real cream in their whipped cream, they have a large tower cake I wanted to try a piece but needed a couple more people to share it with me. Their food is worth stopping by if you are in Victoria!
(Translated) It seems to be a cafe made by remodeling a large car garage or something. When going to winter, the breeze is slightly cold, but the powerful cake is quite delicious. It's big enough to make 2 cups of coffee with 1 cake. A cafe that has been around for more than 20 years, with locals often drinking coffee and looking at newspapers. (Original) 大型車の車庫か何かを改造して作ったカフェだそうです。 冬場に行くと隙間風が若干寒いんですが、迫力のあるケーキはなかなかおいしいです。ケーキ1個でコーヒー2杯はいけるくらい大きい。 20年以上前からあるカフェで地元の人がよくコーヒーを飲みながら新聞を眺める雰囲気のカフェ。
The mountain chocolate cake that I ordered was hard.I was craving for sweet, so I don’t regret eating that.
Delicious food
One of my favourite places for lunch when I'm working downtown. Food is excellent, good quality, and one of the least expensive - especially for the quality. Great patio to sit out and enjoy the sun, breeze, and passing tourists. Just wish I could have lunch there every day.
Great place to meet with friends. Good coffee, friendly service.
Vegetarian and vegan options. The food is delicious but prices are high. I liked the food and the staff was very friendly. The no dairy chocolate creme pie was my favorite and the pot pie was pretty delicious.
Key lime cheesecake is perfect! Very nice staff. Thank you.
The QV is always a great place to relax, watch the birds and people fly in and out and have a tasty snack and great coffee ☕ exceptional place ????
Been going to this location liked it more when it was 24hr
This place is awesome! We stopped in because we saw the word “cheesecake” in the window. We had some cheesecake and a drink. Then bought so,e cookies to take with us. It was all good and very reasonably priced. Of course there are more than sweets here. It looked like all were reasonably priced. We’ll be back.
Love the apple pie with ice cream and caramel sauce. Lots of other good treats as well.
Delicious food super friendly staff could not do more to help me and my group. Was very happy to accommodate my group of 10. We will be back
Baked goods are delicious, soup was good, sandwiches are ok.
Always friendly service, always clean, and amazing hours????
Not bad at all there apple pie is almost as good as mine have to give you a 9 plus
Omg, the best muffins ever!!!
Good prices, open late and early. Good food, we'll priced.
I used to come here all the time for lunch. Like, everyday. I moved ans just started coming back here but now they have this young girl that has a really crappy attitude.. personally im not interested in getting my food somewhere when someone consistently is in a bad mood.. they dont take their job serious and i have health issues so i take what I put into my body seriously. Unfortunate to say the least cause I really liked coming here
Very friendly service, the lady wasn't fake-nice at all. Got a massive muffin which they warmed up and served with butter. They're open at 6:30 and right in the heart of the city. Awesome, old school music playing from the CD jukebox and a nice view of the Chinatown arch. Perfect for watching the world go by. Tons of cheesecake flavors to chose from as well!
Good cafe with reasonably priced food in a central area. Plenty of seating, lots of natural light, a jukebox. They have a good variety of meal foods, desserts, and drinks.
In the past I have enjoyed the late night food and desserts. I decided to try the breakfast on this occasion. Poached eggs should never be prepared in the microwave; slimy uncooked parts combined with extremely over cooked yolks. The rest was cold. The service was abrupt, unfriendly, and uncaring. No one asked me if my food was ok and I gave up trying to find salt and pepper. The coffee was also cold. The young woman called me hun. I am a mature woman. Girls should never call an older woman hun! Very inappropriate and comes off as being condescending. Won't eat there again. Next time I will take a few extra minutes to look for a real restaurant.
Great little place, especially for breakfast
These folks bake most of thier own goods..fantastic. Great coffee products as well.
Great food at decent prices. I love the open atmosphere. One thing I would like to see is more vegan options
Amazing baked cakes, pies, squares, and other goodies. The selection changes from week to week and is always delicious and well priced with a casual atmosphere. The food is quite good as well.
Very nice spot for baked goods. This was the place I finally found a Nanaimo bar! They have a great selection including many flavors of cheesecake. They also serve beer, which was a nice surprise. Good amount of space inside and a patio for nice weather. Staff was good too.
Main dishes are all very well made with fresh ingredients. The big draw, though is coffee and the deluxe deserts. This is the place to come if you like cake and cheesecake. The restaurant is in a converted garage, so it is very open and airy. Very casual.
Nainimo bar Cheesecake?? Seriously!!
Best burgers!!!!!
A must visit for me in Victoria. Always a different cheesecake available and hits the sweet spot every time
QV is a hidden gem in Victoria! Going here for a dessert and coffee with my daughters is now one of my favorite bonding experiences with them. The cheesecakes are amazing but I recommend ordering for birthday or other celebrations well in advance as the cheesecakes need to set for a few days.
Big Cakes
Incredible good. Great service. As good as my beloved remembered
A real calm spot in an otherwise often not very enjoyable downtown Victoria evening. Great food and a very healthy ambience!
A classic must see
I work nearby the cafe, and tend to order (the same order) at least twice a week, often more. While I usually love the hot dogs, every weekend for the past month my order has arrived incomplete or under cooked. Often, I only receive a half order of fries with my meal and served upon a soggy bun. Today took the cake. I received a half order of undercooked fries, most of them looking like they had only been defrosted in a microwave before being served. I am disappointed and disgusted. Word to the Wise: Don't go to QV's on the weekend. They're always rushed, lazy, and prone to extra poor quality.
This is two part review. For coffee and dessert at a diner I would rate 5 ????. After many dissert visits we went for lunch. Ouch food was terrible... So dissert yes but meals no.
Quick to get saved love the food...taking care during covid
Cheesecake was amazing. Best I've ever had
Huge selection of yummy food, great music, good coffee, good working wifi, free parking, views of china town, and really friendly service. Have gone past this place a bunch of times and really glad I finally went inside!
Great milkshakes
Good quick food and friendly! I usually meet up with friends here
Great food and service. Really good selection of cakes.
Stop in here quote often. Coffee. Muffins. Food. Always pleased. Staff are friendly. Always smiling and making mornings that much better before work.
The easy relaxed place where you can just slow down . Good homemade desserts . Don't be on a diet . Lol....
Delicious I ordered chicken strips and French fries with honey mustard sauce mmmmmm yummy!
Cute little shop put into a remodeled auto shop, friendly staff and great location. Delicious desserts, salads and similar items. I would suggest the 'Everest Cake' or any of their pies and cheesecakes. Their hot food is lack luster; they use frozen premade food items and sell it as "fresh" (ex. their fries are all frozen store bought)
Good desert selection
Service was really fast and good. Food was ok. Location its excelent! Nearby many stores and restaurants.
Good vegi burger/fries,desserts. Very good staff. Good prices. Worth checking out, open late too.
The most wonderful cheesecake in town! So many different flavours to choose from and at a great price. Always a favourite for a quick stop by on weekends for a sweet treat.
The coffee is terrible.
Had the chocolate cream pie. Very good, large portions, but a little too sweet and Rich for my liking. Tho, all in all a good selection.
Bottom bagel wasn't toasted and cold
We came here on a late Saturday night looking for deserts. Overall, we found the cakes plain and not very good quality.
Great little cafe, friendly staff and great food for great prices
Open till 11pm. Good specialty coffees. Very good bakery. Bit scruffy inside but worth staying for the food. Patio area outside (weather permitting). Good service.
I love my soup and sandwich for lunch and this place did not disappoint. Friendly staff. Great selection of foods and treats.
I took a weekend trip to Victoria with my family and decided to show them QV's as it was one of my favorite joints to hang out at when I used to live on the island. I was so excited for them to try some awesome drinks and some tasty baked goods. We were not greeted; after finally receiving poor service, the Barista continuously rolled her eyes at us as we made our order. All of our coffees we delivered lukewarm and the whole experience left a bad taste in our mouths. I was embarrassed to bring my family here and I will never return. My original, warm and sentimental memories to this joint have dissipated after this experience. If you're the owner or manager and you're reading this, I highly suggest you check over your staff, because they are hurting your business.
(Translated) large portions good prices kind service I was not enthusiastic however (Original) porzioni abbondanti prezzi buoni servizio gentile non sono comunque rimasto entusiasta
Best hotdog in Victoria hands down
Great service, awesome prices, amazing cheesecake!
Qv is a favorite spot for sweets , although you need to be choosy because some of their cakes can be on the shelf far too long
Excellent pie and cake. Love the atmosphere and old jukebox. Get the berry crumble. The savoury food doesn't quite match the sweet choices. Poutine was a let down.
Love the cheese cake
I have come here a couple times over the past few weeks and each time was an amazing experience - the staff go out of their way to help you and create a great experience - delicious food at a great price also - awesome place!!! Highly Recommend !!
Weekly board game meetup on Monday's for years. Owners changed recently and had it licensed which was nice; but the French Fry quality fell sharply - used to be some of the best in the city, now they are mediocre at best. Good desserts still.
I ordered chocolate cupcake and nanimo cake but with both disappointed !! They were as hard as rock and were hard to eat rather to cut. Also in chocolate cup cake there white things which from my perspective as a former baker, it was yeast!!! God knows how long they were there. I am not local to Victoria but if i come back I won’t go there and don’t recommend this place to anyone.
Average but priced right. Good value.
First time at QV. I liked it. Service was great, and my bacon and cheese burger was excellent. Great food at very low prices.
These folks bake most of thier own goods..fantastic. Great coffee products as well.
Huge selection of sweets and meals. Great price for a quick lunch. Nice location.
Huge servings, you definately get your monies worth. Great spot in Victoria.
Great service, super good food. Selection of cheesecake is the best in the city. No complaints what so ever.
Try the fries their amazing I tell ya chipotle mayo :3
Excellent baked goods for reasonable prices. The muffins really stood out to me, as they were probably the best I had in my life! The staff was always friendly.
Great place, homemade food at a fantastic price! However the only problem is they don't have a power oven so all foods are heated up via microwave completely altering the taste and texture and being unnaturally hot. Invest in a power oven it's worth the money, and the wait for the consumer, will then appreciate the food quality a lot more thanks
Friendly people, excellent service, amazing food, great prices! Free parking.
Never been disappointed by this place. Great staff. Good coffee. Great food.
Great service ????????????
Mostly preped ahead of time ..dinners microwaved..fresh pasteries hot coffee..deep fried from kitchen..like cafteria style.service is good..Asian cooks in kitchen...wide variety.not gourmet..Fast fix.
This place is a great study spot since its open so late. The drinks are reasonable, some of the food looks great. The muffins are pretty mediocre.
Best eats for cheap in downtown! Get a meal for $7 or eat the largest slice of cake you have ever seen. Great outdoor patio with sunshine and cold draught beer. Everything here was great! Highly recommended
Awesome food! Great selection.
Prices have gone up a bit. But I enjoy the soup/half sandwich combo for $7.20.fast service. A great place to eat.can sit outside in the summer
Always a favourite at nighttime during the summer. The carrot cake has a good review, can't wait to try it
Friendly service
staff here are super amazing people, they have fantastic customer service and always make the orders in good time and at amazing quality! i would definitely recommend stopping by if you like deserts, milkshakes, burgers, really anything. its such a cute place to go for a date too! every time me and my girlfriend go down we have an amazing time!
Great food and great staff!
Food was cold ..coffee warm
been coming here for years....great little spot
Love this little cafe. I’ve been going here since I was little and it still has the best mochas and cake!
(Translated) Good breakfast at reasonable prices, actually there are the typical dishes but also a large selection of cakes. The jukebox is very cool. We would love to come back. (Original) Gutes Frühstück zu vernünftigen Preisen, eigentlich gibt es die typischen Gerichte aber auch eine große Auswahl an Kuchen. Die Jukebox ist sehr cool. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Good prices and excellent service and food is good. I also find the portion more than enough.
Awesome cheesecake!
I had the most HORRIBLE experience at this cafe this weekend. I walked in to order an eggs benny on Sunday morning. They had no problem taking my money after ordering. However, when asked if it was "to-stay or to-go", I kindly responded that I will sit outside and eat. I was then asked for my vaccination proof, which I do not have. Long story short, I took my meal to-go. When my meal was finally ready (30 minutes later), a staff member who appeared to be from a minority group came and gave me my order, except instead of bringing it to me, he put the meal 2 tables away from me and rudely shouted "heres your order" then walked away in a huff. He seemed to not want to go near me because I didn't have proof of vaccination, as if I was carrying some horrible disease. This server was a cross-dressing or transgendered male. I was appalled to see someone who has been marginalized and shunned by society, and has likely experienced systemic discrimination themselves, to be treating me the same way. I felt very disgusted with him if I'm being quite honest. I am a human being, and should be treated like one. I am also a healthcare worker, and I treat all my patients with the same amount of compassion, no matter their colour, political stance, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Oh, and the eggs benny sucked, it came out cold, and the bread had become soggy by the time I got it.
Comfortable place to sit with family. Tried chicken pot pie. Tasted good but small portion for the price. The Burritos and veg lasagna were quite bland . The dips need more flavour too. Found the place just okay for a casual bite....
Great food great staff wonderful prices. One of the hidden jewels in Victoria eateries.
Huge selection of foods. All freshly cooked. Reasonable prices and friendly staff.
My go to place for fresh tasty food. Cozy spot with reasonable pricing.
Open really early and quite late, awesome variety and delicious cheesecake
They have pretty nice customer service!!! But don’t EVER ORDER the chai latte!!! It was not freshly made!!! It was store bought chai latte!! And they just added some milk in there!!! For that amount of money I paid I could of just bought myself that Nd make it at home!!!
I am always amazed this place isn't busy. It is in a great location with warm staff and home made good food but never busy. Best place for cheese cake and desserts downtown. Perfect for an after dinner treat with a date. My only complaint is that they use a microwave to heat up food.
Wow! We came here for birthday dessert and were blown away! They have giant portions and home made yumminess. We had chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, a very large piece of cake brownie like chocolate cake that was amazing, coffee whipped cream pie and a cupcake the size of a softball! All of it was delish. They also had food in the case next door that made me think of mom. Mac and cheese huge Sammy’s and also some perfect looking calzone. Lunch anyone?
Good service
The chicken burger was awesome Mac n cheese was great cheese cake is also great here
love pickle fries
It is great place to eat so good but its really cold inside since its z old gas station
Great place if you are looking for a lot of dessert selection! Also a very good patio for people (and bird) watching as it is in the heart of china town. Not super fancy though if you are looking for that.
We stopped in for an evening treat. Our party of six had mixed feelings about our mix of brownies, cheesecakes and carrot cake. It was ok. I guess I was expecting better from an actual bakery.
Yum! The desserts are awesome here. The servers are all really nice the prices are fair. What else do you need?!
Incredible good. Great service. As good as my beloved remembered
Had the white clam chowder, as good as any I've had in the world! Sandra the baker, and her staff are all wonderful. Highly recommend this spot for breakfast, lunch, cakes and pastries.
Great collection of cakes and snacks! A must visit place when you are walking around downtown
This was the worst food ever. The salad was brown and should have thrown out days ago and the tuna sandwich tasted and smelt funny. Needless to say it was a total waste of money as none of it was edible.
Great food!! Everything is made in house and is delicious. Love the local vibe it has and is really popular. Has the best chocolate cake! Also the best Pumpkin Spice Latte I've had in town so far. Very reasonable prices too.
Very accommodating to my gluten-free requirements.
Service
Not impressed by the quality of the food and drink here. Everything tastes microwaved. And the latte tasted like drip coffee with steamed milk. But for $11.00 it was alright I guess.
Great afternoon pitstop, had a great affordable brunch here with the wife. Perfect location for walking around Victoria and seeing the sights.
Service was fast, burger was ok, fries were excellent. Chocolate cake slice was massive and tasty.
Good late night cafe. Love the cheesecakes
Excellent assortment of beverages, pies, and pastries! Also, good, affordable breakfast plates. Good customer service too.
Why are you looking at my post, this place has been around for years and always fantastic.
Mocha was sweet, decent overall. Egg sandwiches mostly bread. Hash browns ok.
My wifes favourite place in town for cheese cake, very fun and clean atmosphere.
Very casual atmosphere. The desserts are great and the food is okay. Prices are really good.
Best place in town for amazing cheese cake!
Cheesecake had good options was ok for taste. Overall experience wasn't very friendly to us won't be back
Good desserts and good coffee.
Awesome little cafe.
This is a decent place to study, sit at a patio and meet people. They are actually open reasonable hours. The staff are mostly students seemingly. The cake menu is pretty deep and they have a full menu of deli/diner sandwiches. There is a …
Great place for deserts: their cakes, cookies, and crumbles are delicious. They also have some meal options like sandwiches, sheppard's pie, mac and cheese, etc. Good if you want something quick for a modest price!
We really like the vegetables lasagna and hot chocolate... food was delicious.
What can I say..I absolutely love the food here. The staff is very friendly and are more than patient with me. It seemed I could not decide what to eat from all the great selections. I went with the carrot cake and also enjoyed a nice not so healthy milk shake. The prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place.
Great cheesecake and they serve beer as well
Too sweet and the icing has a strange taste to it, apparently the cheese cake is bomb tho.
One of my go to places in Victoria BC. Yummy food. Casual atmosphere.
Friendly environment, good hours (open late), and great cookies!
We were looking for a late dinner and found this place. Food was very good, staff very friendly. Hard to pick a dessert because everything looked so good. Here's the funny thing, the lady that waited on us asked if we like pastries and said there was an excellent pastry bakery nearby. QV's specialty seems to be cheesecake. They had so many varieties. We settle for cookies and carrot cake. Both very good.
Cringe
Was really good
The siren song of cheesecake slices is hard to resist, especially with such a neat variety.
Been frequenting this downtown gem for years. Great spot near Chinatown for a quick bite.
The treats look amazing, but flavor and freshness is lacking ????
Great local place. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and a wide variety of food and drinks. We had an Oreo cheesecake and an Americano, and it was great. One of the few places open late on a Sunday night.
It's a very cozy, but roomy little bakery, but it almost has a more deli-like feel to it. They have other types of foods, salads, pastas etc. as well as cakes and pastries. Their cakes are AMAZING and some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend their cakes, no matter which flavor (peanut butter was great though). I've never been disappointed. There's even a jukebox in the corner (that works!) to give a fun feel to the place. I've been there several times with my friends and it always makes me happy when I'm able to stop in.
Great home style food. Update: I came in the restaurant today to order lunch. I waited about 5 minutes in the line, right next to the sign that displays 'order here'. A few people came in after me, and stood beside me. The staff ignored me and helped the other customers that had walked in about 5 minutes after I have been waiting in line...
Lovely staff. I tried a baked good and enjoyed it, would describe my coffee as average. The store was very hot inside, and it made it hard for me to relax and enjoy myself.
We love this place! Great variety of food at a reasonable price!
Very Affordable for everyone, large menu, perfect for board game nights or a late night snack or dinner. Cheese Cake is amazing, best in the city without spending 30+ at 5.75$ for a decent size too. They have GF menu without extra cost. This is my favorite place to go on my Lunch breaks when I am in the Area. Its not a Fancy place, but the people are nice and food affordable for low income & working class people.
Always friendly service, always clean, and amazing hours????
Got to say this is some of the best food for such a good price, if you want to eat good and feel full *BAM* QV Cafe and Bakery is the place to go, Us at Camo totally love it!! highly recommend
Ok nothing spectacular. Comfortable ambience & atmosphere good corner location. Variety of food in the menu cuisine. Friendly staff. Never over crowded just perfect.
Inexpensive, good food, friendly service.
Everything is made in house. Good food and baked goods
Very small cafe have variety of tea and coffee collection cookies and snacks are also good
$5 sandwich/soup. Good for a quick bite. Sandwich was good, soup was okay.
Amazing desserts
Perfect te eat and if you love a dessert this is the place to be! I've been there as a traveller with a low budget and I completely loved it! Staff is friendly and will help you with all your questions.
Dessert and coffee are great. The regular food is not good. You don't microwave sausage rolls, spanokapita, or a calzone. Please reheat these items in an oven or toaster oven. The salad and half sandwich was not even edible, the lettuce was rusty, tomatoes were soggy and the tuna in the sandwich smelled bad. We brought guests from out of town here, so we're disappointed.
Great atmosphere and staff. Nice assortment of treats. I've been there a half a dozen times, and I've never been disappointed.
Stumbled across this place while intending to check out another breakfast place and we are so glad we did. The patio is gorgeous. The food was unbelievable and so cheap. 6.95 for a full breakfast plate; pancakes, eggs, bacon/sausage, and hashbrowns. They also had a huge case of desserts; cheesecakes, pastries, cookies, etc. Lunch options looked great too. Their coffee was delicious. Highly recommend this lovely little cafe.
Inexpensive, good food, friendly service.
Lots of easy foods to choose from
Just love the cheesecakes here.
Okay
This is best enjoyed when you want a piece of pie and a cup of coffee! Great patio, too
Their cheese cakes are unreal!

Good desserts. Table and chairs only so no place to get real comfy for a chat. Washrooms need a key.
If you want to meet with someone on a Sunday night and do not want to have yet another meetup on Cook Street Village, then this place comes to your rescue. If you don't mind the "we are still in the 50s, everything is old but at least it's kinda clean" theme, then this is a good place. I would give it a lower rating but that this is one of the few coffee places downtown that doesn't close around sunset so we need to keep this one alive
Excellent variety of foods available, service was great, prices are very good and serving sizes are large.
Nice friendly staff
Breakfast cheesecake
Been a long standing customer and through management changes QV remains our favorite late night sweet spot. The best gem in Victoria
Service wasn't very quick, even though it wasn't that busy.
Omg, the best muffins ever!!!
V Good. Good price
Hostess was rude and uncaring, couldn't get my order right, found hair in my food and they tried to say it's a cheese string .... I do know the difference and when I complained the waitress became rather rude. I've been eating here for years now but I will never come back here again
Had BF there, patotoes werent even cooked, it was like they didn't even try. Staff was very friendly
Best bakery around, hands down. Delicious cheesecakes and different bakery items with a low cost. However, the warm food area and the customer service portions of this establishment are horrendous.
Delisious home style cooking & amazing desserts. A Victoria classic!
My favorite coffeeshop. Great WiFi, great staff. (I don't know why I put the Wifi first) ?!
Great spot! People must underestimate this place. Line ups down the block for other brunch places. Lots of room at the QV. Awesome food!
One of the few coffee shops in the downtown core opens past 9pm.
Coffee is gross, and the food is of pour quality.
They have great food, their cheesecake is some of the best, and it's still reasonably priced - which is rare in Victoria these days.
We had a pleasant experience in a warm summer afternoon. They guys at the front counter are friendly and well service oriented. My kids had chocolate milkshakes, they were tasty and creamy; I enjoyed a frozen mocha which had a strong flavour. The only item we did not like much was the Irish cream frozen. We also recommend peanut butter cookies and cinnamon buns.
Good food, great prices and friendly service
Great place for a late night run for dessert
Nice place to hangout
We had really good eggs benedict, french toast, and lattes there today. The prices are very reasonable and service was businesslike and friendly. Would definitely return.
Chill place, huge cakes
Excellent deserts, coffee, etc... a great meeting place.
Average but priced right. Good value.
Great place for a coffee, a treat or lunch. The igloo domes outside are clean, well kept and decorated with cheery lights.
Absolutely beautiful and delicious food!!! I'm amazed how amazing it came to my home!!! Definitely my new favorite breakfast place
Great place for coffee break
Excellent variety of foods available, service was great, prices are very good and serving sizes are large.
Great place to meet with friends. Good coffee, friendly service.
Nice place for a drink or a snack.
Absolutely unreal cheesecake. Really top shelf.
Great friendly service. Delicious muffins.
The coffee is terrible.
Wonderful community cafe/bakery with a big caring heart! Excellent food and super delicious goodies. Try their fresh baked Strawberry Short Cake or many of their other outstanding desserts.
A great place for a quick meal. I just had their chicken and bacon Calzone and it was fantastic and filled me right up. The reason for 3 stars only is the smoothy machine that is so loud. Perhaps it should be moved into the kitchen so it does not rattle the customers brains and interfere with their ability to carry on a conversation. The other issue I had is the locked bathrooms. You have to ask the severs for the key that is attached to a bucket lid....this really grossed me out and they lost my return business. Makes me wonder if this is a direct violation of the CRD health code to have servers touching this....maybe there is a better way to keep the doors locked with an electric button the staff can push? On top if this the bathroom was dirty with black mold around the base of the toilet and graffiti etched into the mirror.
Love this place, somewhere that has great food good drinks and is open late in Victoria! The perfect place to come and sit awhile. I've walked by a million times but finally came in and was not disappointed in fact i was beyond happily surprised!
Great food at a good price
cute place. really nice staff. good place to hangout. cheesecake is very delicious.
Delicious cheesecake and excellent service.
Great
Take out…
Great simple breakfast spot. No frills service. Order at the till and pick a table. Great menu for breakfast and great patio.
A surprisingly decent burger, but a meh latte. Virtually no Covid protocols in place (plastic shielding at the tills, but that's it - no noticable labels identifying which tables weren't to be sat at to keep physical distancing). Just because the government is instituting vaccine passports doesn't mean you should allow yourselves to get sloppy.
Good
Nice atmosphere and never busy. It was once a gas station and the old roll up doors are still there giving you a nice view of the gate into Chinatown across the street. There's a jukebox that plays random songs all morning. Patsy Cline seems appropriate here. I've been there at different times of day and the best meal is breakfast. Best value for eggs, toast, bacon, and potatoes anywhere near downtown.
Great food that is served very fast and a great selection of desserts. The prices were also very affordable
One of the few coffee shops in the downtown core opens past 9pm.
Awesome service and great freshly baked and cooked food. I would recommend to anyone.
Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake was pretty good. Actual Nanaimo Bars were okay, but I've had better. Service was okay.
Lots of different food
My boyfriend and I found this place after leaving a disappointing restaurant. Awesome prices! Awesome food! And they even serve beer. The most expensive thing was around 10 bucks. I was awesomely surprised by this little cafe. Definitely a great find
I LOVE THIS STORE!!! The food is unbeatable and the deserts are out of this world
Nice people and ok for a quick breakfast but can't cook eggs.
Love the iced lattes and friendly service!
Amazing food. Very chill vibe. Great coffee. Employees are all very nice
Great desserts. Friendly staff but the place is a bit run down over the years
Great little spot to check out if you are in the area
Got the spring roll and when I got home I found out the lettuce was slimy. Then also brown on the inside. Not a place I will ever go to again.
Cheesecake was amazing. Best I've ever had
The coconut cream pie is the reason I exist
Horrible service really slow the excuse was she/he didn't have enough staff and didn't apologize but was snappy and rude and they didn't remember my full order when I came back and asked if had everything cus it was light she /he didn't …
THE FOOD MAKES MY BELLY HURT..
ThIS has historically been a good restaurant for VALUE , FOOD QUALITY AND GREAT PATIO ( WHICH HAS BEEN IMPROVED SINCE LAST SUMMER). So what is the problem.? On July 3, I ordered a turkey breast on multi grain with a bowl of clam chowder. Excellent weather and an OK price at $ 12. However, the soup was atrocious with cubed ,half cooked potato and not a vestige of clam to be found!! It was a cane product and tasteless besides being only tepid. Someone screwed up ( the chef??), the owner / manager ( who condoned this offering??). Not sure but someone needs to practice some quality control asap. I feel blasting what has been a good Chinatown mainstay but that damn soup was awful. DO SOMETHING PLEASE? Gregor Campbell Chinatown resident for 17 years
Great place for quick lunch or evening desert.
Fantastic place with the world's best peanut butter cookie sandwiches that they NEVER have in stock anymore. Either way, everything else is awesome!
Good home style comfort foods, the best milkshakes, and carrot cake or Everest cake slices that can feed a family of four! There's lots of folks who spend the night playing board games so it might be difficult getting a table. But you can have your meal packed up to go.
Love their selection of desserts. Especially their cheesecakes ☺
Tried and true
Have to recommend the peanut butter cheesecake!
Nice people and awesome customer service!
Highly recommend if you want cheap, really good, home style cooked food
Haven't been in for a while but we popped in yesterday for a coffee and a cheese cake and it was just as good as we remembered. Also, they must have painted or something because the place looks great! Keep up the good work!
Great cup of tea!
We stopped in on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Had the Eggs Benny and Classic breakfast. Large portions and food was hot. Display cases have lots of to go bakery options that look very tasty. The plastic knives and forks - very very flimsy - were our only disappointment. Americano coffee and Assam tea were enjoyable. Friendly staff wearing masks and tables spaced for COVID.
Everything is inexpensive and delicious! Great for quick lunches and deserts!
Cheap and fast. Food isn't the gold standard but worth the price.
Great comfort food and drinks
Messy.
love pickle fries
Good food, amazing cheese cakes. Good selection of baked good.
Great food, great desserts, great downtown location. Highly recommend this place.
Good quick food and friendly! I usually meet up with friends here
A grand nod to old time dining in great detail of good service and food quality
You are able to get dinner entrees after 9pm (kitchen closed) Home cooked meals ata a great price
Amazing cheesecake
Great food...pastries...burgers...lots of choices. Great patio with birds.
Great little diner, open early and late!
Best food in side of an old gas station Bay great portions
Casual, basic, quality, good service.
Food is really good, atmosphere is Victoria-eclectic, but that was to be expected! Haven't eaten here since my last visit 6 years ago, food was still excellent and dependable...got my fix in and had the vegetarian lasagna. Still the best veggie lasagna out there!
Great place if you are looking for a lot of dessert selection! Also a very good patio for people (and bird) watching as it is in the heart of china town. Not super fancy though if you are looking for that.
Very fair prices and the food is delicious
Food is tasty, coffee is good. Employees are lovely. Recommend.
This place is great for breakfast, best value in Victoria hands down. Can't remember the lady's name, will always remember how nice she was to us.
Very slow service but good eats
Quantity not quality. The breakfast was a really good price for the amount that I received. It wasn't very good though... Not terrible, just undercooked potatoes and overcooked sausages with no seasoning at all. None of the tables were wiped down and it wasn't busy enough for that to make sense. If you're in a tight budget this is an okay option and it is nice to have a patio meal during the summer.
Pie! For breakfast! Great pie too!
Great place for coffee break
Chicken burrito was good. The chocolate peanut butter cream pie wasn't as good as it looked or sounded. I should've got the cheese cake lol
Great selection
Great selection of cheesecakes
Great cheesecakes and huge mountain Everest cake. We loved seeing the little sparrows come and pick out crumbs from the floor.
Amazing benny's and choices of coffee. Would definitely eat here again.
Great selection of food and drink and great specials. Lots of seating both inside and out.
Food was cold ..coffee warm
Very good food and a will definitely fill you up for a decent price
Great little cozy place. Great prices and best of all warm service! The friendly service with a smile was better than the coffee but u stay for the good food
Great food, friendly staff and amazing prices!
Great prices, lots of food options, super chill, free jukebox, great patio. Best you can do for location.
A great place to pop-in on the way by.....or to as a destination. Either way the Choc Cake is 5 LAYERS HIGH! Plus at least 7+; types of CHEESECAKE! . My favorite is the APPLE PIE / ICE CREAM & WHIPPED CREAM.
I have given this place so many chances and have been disappointed almost every time. About a year ago I went there and asked for the veggie burrito... got it home to take a bite into it to find out it had chicken in it. The next time I …
Wonderful, tasty wares that are vegan-friendly. However, they are not bashful about charging for it.
Mt. Everest choc cake for afternoon snack was.wonderful... we stop here often when in Victoria. Best ever cheesecakes as well!
Nice and clean place, food is delicious, and staff are cool.
