We were looking for a place to grab a sweet treat in Victoria and this did not disappoint!…read more When we first got into Victoria, we stopped by for lunch at BeaverTails and got the poutine. When we got back from an adventure at Butchart Gardens, we stopped by for dessert! We got the Hazel Amour and it was enough for us to share. There are so many offers and combinations that I could see us coming back here the next time we're back in BC. If you're staying in Victoria, this place gets a little crazier when the cruise ships are docked. There are only a few tables outside so it's perfect on a sunny day or if you plan to explore the city with a treat in hand.

BeaverTails is a must if you are ever in Canada. This place is a to-go or take out sort of outlet…read more They have a lot of sweets and poutine is one of the few savory things that are offered. They are also recommended as one of the best in Canada for poutine. We did some search and according to other Yelpers, this place has the best of them. We tried it and it is a 10 out of 10. The fries were hot. The gravy was amazing and the fried curds are to die for. It is enough to share, but definitely if you are a poutine lover, this is the right amount. And you do not have to go into a restaurant and get an obnoxious amount of poutine this is just the right amount for your poutine fix

A very popular bakery in downtown Victoria, and it's easy to see why. We stopped by for pastries…read moreand coffee. The shop itself is quite small, with only couple seats along the wall. Everything in the display case looked delicious, but we decided on the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry, the pistachio ganash tart and the pork & fennel sausage roll. The pistachio tart was fresh with a rich nutty flavor, though it took a little finesse to eat because the filling kept wanting to spill out. My favorite was the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry. It was flaky, with a delicate sweetness from the fruits and a subtle floral note from the rosewater. You can really taste the dedication in these pastries. I'd recommend going early in the day as many of their items tend to sell out quick.

We bought a cake here for my mom's 70th birthday and were so impressed! We chose the "Crusty…read moreForest"--their take on a Black Forest cake--and it was absolutely delectable. What we loved most was that it wasn't overly sweet. It had a wonderful, strong fruit component from the cherries that balanced perfectly with the chocolate and a light, thin layer of whipped cream. The cake itself was incredibly moist and executed with such care. It was a total hit for the celebration! I only wish we lived in Victoria so this could become our regular go-to spot for special occasion cakes.

i really wanted to like this café, and honestly, i'd still recommend it for the aesthetics alone…read more the interior is beautiful, with glossy black and white checkered floors, soft white paneling, and a chandelier that adds a touch of elegance above the counter. natural light pours in from the tall front windows, illuminating the pastry case and giving the whole space a serene, gallery like feel. it's a calming spot to step into, and would be an ideal setting for a proper afternoon tea service. i ordered an almond croissant, french bread pudding, and the gateau du jour, green tea and vanilla, along with a yuzu maccha (sourced from jagasilk), all to go. the drink was the biggest disappointment, the yuzu flavour was absent, and the matcha itself was weak. on top of that, there's a small surcharge for ice (.50, which i did not expect) and oat milk (.50). the almond croissant looked promising with its golden shell and slivered almonds, though the nuts themselves weren't fully toasted, which made the topping feel a little underwhelming. the interior leaned more dense than the airy, flaky layers i'd been hoping for. this sometimes happens when the lamination doesn't quite hold or the proofing isn't ideal, not unusual with croissants, but still a letdown in contrast to its appearance. the green tea cake was beautifully presented, with neat layers of sponge and green tinted buttercream, but leaned on the sweeter side, with only a subtle whisper of green tea. the bread pudding, reheated at home, was the highlight, soft, custardy, and lifted by the vanilla cream sauce it came with. seating is limited but cozy, with a handful of small tables inside and a couple more out on the sidewalk. their selection is broad: whole cakes, slices, macarons, crème brûlée, tarts, cookies, all arranged neatly in the front window to tempt passersby. the café's charm lies in its design and atmosphere. it's worth a visit if you're nearby and want a chic spot to sit and relax, and i'd go back to try their other cakes, the display alone makes it hard not to.

An amazing amusement park full of tea!…read more I've never seen so many teas offered, with such an outstanding variety and creativity of tea blends. Even if tea is not your cup of tea you can't help but be amazed with Murchies. There's plenty of coffee varieties as well as very nice accessories and gifts...and that's just the retail area. The tea, coffee, bakery treats, plus breakfast and lunch items are extensive. The specialty tea and coffee drink creations are truly inspired. Deliciousness awaits you at Murchie's.

Whether you're a tea enthusiast or just looking to try something different, it's worth it. A great spot to take a break while exploring downtown Victoria.

We picked up couple of the ube pastries and pandan pastry. The breads are soft and fluffy, just what you'd expect from Asian style pastries.

If you're planning to try out some of their more popular items, come early as they tend to sell out.

I ordered a pack of eight and gobbled down my four right outside the establishment. I chose mango habanero, Nutella, chocolate decadence, and pineapple mango.
