Try their hot chocolate! !

Matteus Clement

Awesome place, right on the highway, to grab a great coffee and some good baked goods. Try the Lumber Jack breakfast!

I always have the dark roast and it is consistantly good every time! Breakfast choices are great and the baked goods are still warm from the oven if you are early enough on your way to work ( 6:00 ish)

Steve Cracco

Very pleasant service

Christina Cook

Has that small community feel. Comfortable and imposing.

We regularly stop there when traveling from Victoria up Island. Good coffee and light foods. It's worth the stop.

Very good.

Pam B

It's good.

Michelle Thurlow

I love to pull in here on my way up-island. The coffee is just great. Better than the big guys. I'm not a huge fan of the baked goods, but some people love them. Try the dark roast, it's very rich and full bodied.

amit ganguly

Enjoyed a hot chocolate here. The mugs are huge and the furniture is quite homey. Staff were friendly and quick with the drinks.

Chuck Thompson

What lovely staff! And they really care about giving you the best drink. I ordered something a little unusual and they took time to make sure it was done well. Thanks!

Nathan Lapointe

I’ve stopped in her a few times on my way to Victoria to grab a coffee and a bite. The coffee is wonderful and the food is tasty but most off all the service is fantastic. A young man has served me most times and he is so lovely and personable. I really enjoy this shop!

Lou

Friendly staff and good coffee

Ted Muir

If you want to experience great atmosphere with friendly staff and a well maintained professional establishment. Don't ever just drive by if you're Serious for coffee. You won't be disappointed. Cheers

Melissa Vasey

This is the "flagship" Serious Coffee shop. Unlike most of their other stores, this one is just south of Mill Bay, of the highway, unremarkable to look at and rather plain inside. But, like the other stores, a warm welcome unique and delicious food offerings and excellent coffee are served by friendly staff.... Coffee with an all around island flavour to it.

Steve Z

Excellent owners, great service. Working in Victoria and pass by on the way from Nanaimo.. Look forward to the stop.

Neil Bettger

Very helpful.

Kira Van Bergen

Slow service..messy inside and the coffee in not in the same category as Starbuck

J Patterson

Best London Fogs!

Amelie Gerinroze

Over priced! Coffee is terrible and hot chocolate is watered down. Good place to stop for a bathroom break if traveling up or down the Island.

Gregory Longere

Another good place I stop at.

Reliably good coffee and excellent sandwiches. The Brioche is very tasty.

Friendly staff and delicious Americano, Mocha and Thai soup

Sylvia Oertel

Great coffee. Clean nice staff

SJ M

A more tired location than most others. Same good coffee, needs a refresh though

Adam Klassen

Cappuccino was good but brioche wasn't. If it wasn't for the cinnamon, there would be no flavour at all. The owners must have changed suppliers because the brioche used to be delicious.

Dan Grimes

The scon was dry the coffee expensive. But a good place for 8 guys to haul off the road headed for the Hand of Man Museum

Richard Greenhorn

Always excellent

Vern Keast

Great service, great owners

Good coffee on the go. Large clean bathroom. Great for meeting people halfway!

Wade MacDonald

Mediocre coffee and food for okay prices.

Christopher Russell

Great coffee but you will want to bring your own travel mug. The lids on the takeout cups are terrible so you'll wear your coffee before getting into your car to continue your journey.

Bethany D

Take out

noel vickers

Great coffee and great service

Kimberly Sargent

Our stop in on the way to Victoria, great coffee's and pastries

Chelsey Blanc

Great coffee

Johnny Munn

The latte tasted like burnt coffee. Ugh. I tossed it at the gas station in mill bay The young barista girl was pleasant!

Ralph Rebain

Handy place to get a cup before going over the Malahat Drive into Victoria. Coffee was, unfortunately, stale. Perhaps not enough volume of customers to use the volume of coffee they brewed this day. But ordinarily, it's worth a stop.

Kyle Glover

Last place to grab a coffee and snack on the way from Mill Bay to Supertown

René Cusson

Excellent owners and drink choices. A favourite stop in Mill Bay.

Richard Hay

I was happy to find organic coffee while traveling but wasn't really impressed with the food items offered. Thought they'd be a more healthy homemade better quality...

Lesley Head

Stopped for coffee and a snack. Their lemon bread is awesome.

Aron MC

Brunch

John Siggers

Well well why do I like this place. Being blind my taste buds are very sensitive it is hard to find decent tasting food that I can touch up a little bit if I need to or the way they serve it. Are you can give suggestions a slight changes and with Glee they tried and it turns out great a family that can cook respectful still honour you know protect you with good food they never let me down they're always there to make sure things taste right is served right and I'm sure they have a big smile you can hear it in their voice Lakeville places like that a lot thank you

Matt Evans

Friendliest staff! They really go the extra mile =)

Island Group

The owners and staff are always friendly. Coffee is fresh & hot.

Chrystal Green

Great coffee! WiFi. Had a 'shot in the dark'. Which I have found enjoyable. Friendly staff which was nice as I have read other Comments about lack if friendly & courteous staff at some local serious coffee shops. Will stop by next trip.

Yum!

Trevor DeMaere

Meal type

Bruce McAllister

Take away cups in cafe, too strong, little chocolate in mocha.

Dale Kroppmanns

Nice place to have coffee

Steve Kehler

4 stars because the cranberry spice muffin was delish and the coffee just right. 4 stars because a muffin and coffee cost $6.60. I know - inflation. But it's a little much. I think $5 or less for a coffee and muffin from thia local coffee shop and it would have been 5 stars. Again, my taste buds were delighted and satisfied. Easy access of highway and staff was very friendly. Recommend stopping in if you need a quick bite or a change from the usual drive thru coffee.

Gord Butler

Good local coffee shop

Andrew Boylan

Quaint little coffee shop that fits into the Mill Bay vibe quite well. It’s the best coffee shop in the area and well worth a short detour off the highway.

Justin Vandorp

Excellent service here and the espresso is unreal!

Alan Sutherland

Great decaf americano- too often decaf can be stale but this was well made.

Serious Coffee is a great coffee shop. Their coffee is excellent and they have high quality baked goods. The rewards system isn't as generous as some competitors and they have limited locations compared to other companies. We enjoy coming here and recommend this establishment.
