JAM CAFE REVIEWS

Jam Cafe was a delightful brunch experience. They have a diverse menu. We ordered the Fried Chicken Benedict , it combines the richness of perfectly poached eggs with the crispiness of fried chicken and the Banana & Walnut Waffle was exceptional, it provides a sweet and nutty indulgence, with each bite offering a delightful combination of textures. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely brunch with friends or family. Overall, Victoria Jam Cafe impresses with its delicious dishes and charming atmosphere, making it a must-visit for brunch enthusiasts in the area.

Very large portions so be ready for that. One item can feed 2 no problem. Super good quality food in a quaint little diner. Service was outstanding and when in Victoria again we will make this a "go to" for breakfast. Get there early, line can get long.

Went to this place twice during our stay in Victoria. It’s worth the wait if there is a line . It actually moves fast too. Very nice service and very delicious food AMAZING.

NOURISH KITCHEN & CAFE REVIEWS

Utterly charming! Food was delicious and inventive, and the atmosphere perfectly warm and relaxed. Our waitress was attentive and witty but unimposing. Our table shared a lot of starters and mains and were pleased with everything. As someone sensitive to dairy, it was amazing not to have to compromise either, they’ve got fantastic non-dairy/vegan/vegetarian options.

10’s across the board. Had a fantastic honey salted latte, would get this daily if I could. The golden benny was incredible, just enough of everything. My wife had the bone broth and loved it, said it was perfect. Kids had the pancake and couldn’t eat it fast enough. The service was spectacular as well. The atmosphere here is great, would love to see it at dinner or in autumn. We will be back one day, no doubt.

Great brunch. We were in town for the weekend and came here twice. The staff was super friendly, the venue is a vibe, and the food was phenomenal. Everything we had was good.

HEY HAPPY REVIEWS

Such friendly staff, super respectful and kind. She recommended the first date latte which was super nice, and unique, not overly sweet either! I recommend it! Their cups and glasses are also really nice and different and correctly sized! The ambiance is great and there's lots of plugs and laptop friendly. Pretty busy on a weekday at 2. Also a very queer friendly place :))

Beautiful coffee shop located in downtown Victoria! Fantastic atmosphere, with great selection of music, lots of nice seating with outlets for laptops and fantastic coffee selection. The WIFI is fast and works well too! Highly recommend the iced turmeric vanilla latte with oat milk.

Ordered a pour over coffee from Guatemala and it was beyond my expectation, taste was rich and delicious, its citrus flavor was great and bitter gave me woodie flavor totally recommended!
