    I hardly consider myself a tea snob but I was really disappointed in my tea experience here. My two cute little Aunties took me here and I ordered the "High Tea". Maybe I'm used to the loose leaf options back in the states, but I was super disappointed when a saucer of individually wrapped tea bags were brought to the table with a hot pot of water. You mean no strainer to use with my tea cup? Sad face. I was feeling more like I bought tea from your local coffe shop then a 'tea garden'. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Q5NgyT2ViG7dbHl7utk10w?select=9EfUbeWFCtwjhsEtnSTZpg#JSiLelc3qZinyxUbIIJsIw My mini-tower came with my high tea options. I was excited to try since I was craving tea foods but I was disappointed. The food was just ok. The best items were the scone, egg salad sandwich, and some chocolate/coconut bar. The other sandwiches weren't all that great or even memorable to write about. I was pretty bummed. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Q5NgyT2ViG7dbHl7utk10w?select=9EfUbeWFCtwjhsEtnSTZpg#Mzt4s07-_4A7_EkPuz2SHQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Q5NgyT2ViG7dbHl7utk10w?select=9EfUbeWFCtwjhsEtnSTZpg#W4PazqCHNIeYuMmjvOjLaA It's a cute place with lots of options if you don't want the 'high tea service' and after looking around, it looked like I was the only one in the joint that ordered the high tea. My aunt's got the seafood crepes (which they loved) and everyone else in the joint got other breakfast non-high-tea items. Blame it on the newbie! It was nice to visit with my Aunties and the service was nice. Best to just stick with regular breakfast items and skip the high tea menu.

    This spot is so nostalgic for me! I grew up coming here as a kid, and it's just as good as an adult. A neighbourhood gem, it's the kind of place you'd bring your nana to after church on Sunday (in the best way). The shrimp wrap was delicious - don't be fooled by the basic plating which does look a bit bland. I subbed in seafood chowder (shrimp and scallop) for $1.50 as a side - highly recommend! My friend said her clubhouse was great too. This spot is a classic, and I'll keep coming back :)

    Very cute cafe/bakery. We stopped in and had the bay breakfast which was delicious. The next day we went back and got breakfast sandwiches and strudel to go. All the food is homemade, pastries are delicious and having tea here is very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this little gem of a cafe to anyone in the Cordova Bay Area.

    The food was mediocre and the coffee bad. The service was lackluster. My girlfriend had the pancakes which were like cardboard.

    Food was bland and under cooked. The coffee was terrible and the servers were rude from start to finish.

    Very bland veggie wrap - could use some raw onion and more flavour. Service was lacking. Maybe short staffed?

    If a home-cooked comfort meal is what you crave John's place is the most go to place…read more Fun environment a great staff lots of smiles and incredible food

    A solid spot with its own distinct vibe and an impressively long menu…read more Great for groups since there's something for everyone, and the portions are generous. Almost too much for one person. One thing that stood out: unlike most diners that only offer one brewed coffee option, this place lets you choose between regular and dark roast. Small detail, but appreciated. I went on a weekday morning, so there was no wait, but the space isn't very large, so I'd recommend making a reservation during peak hours. Staff were friendly overall, and the atmosphere is worth experiencing. That said, while the food was consistently solid, it wasn't particularly memorable. I ordered the Valentino, smoked salmon and poached egg on an English muffin with avocado, but the avocado was completely unripe, which brought down both the texture and the flavor. With a menu this wide, most dishes land in the "good" rather than "great" range, and execution details like that make a difference. If you're going for variety and the overall experience, you'll be satisfied, but if you're hoping for something exceptional, it may feel a bit underwhelming. Bottom line: a reliable brunch option for groups, as long as you're not setting the bar too high on the food itself.

    I was so excited to stay here at Fairholme Manor given the positive reviews but I thought overall…read moreit was just okay. Let me start off by saying breakfast really was five stars. It was delicious and beautiful. A lot of love and effort is put into this. Sylvia's scones are phenomenal. If she opened up a bakery I would buy all her scones and loaves. The bathroom is a nice size with a big tub. So why the three stars? There is a radiator in the room but ours didn't work well and would heat up and did not stay hot. We were cold. If you are on the first floor please note that sound travels. you can really hear any movement above you and you can hear conversations very well outside your room which didn't make me feel particularly comfortable since I'm sure even just is talking normally can be heard by others as well. Didn't feel amazing from a privacy perspective. When you book it says there is daily housekeeping. There's no daily housekeeping. We were asked if anything was missing from our room by the breakfast server but nothing else. If you're expecting your trash to be emptied or bed to be made that did not happen our whole stay. Location: not really walkable to the downtown area or most things in Victoria. A couple other small things that I wouldn't even mention if the above two were no issue: The bed was okay although not super comfortable in my opinion. The outlets are really inconvenient and there aren't many. They mention there is tea, hot chocolate, and coffee. There's no hot chocolate and no creamer in your room if you want some later. I do think this place could be good for others but it was not the right fit for us. For a bed and breakfast the room just wasn't super comfortable for us to want to spend time there.

    What a lovely place! A beautiful home and garden, plenty of spots to sit and sip, comfortable…read morebeds, a good shower, fresh flowers, delicious breakfasts with all the lovely extra touches to make it special. Sylvia is a gracious experienced host with great recommendations for dinner spots. We tried both Pennyfarthing and Pagliacci and were happy with the both choices. Pagliacci had a good live band. And to top it off a small herd of deer have made the neighborhood their home. It all added up to a great stay. We'll book Fairholme again for sure.
