It appears to be a favorite with locals, this might partially be because it is not near the prime touristy spots. Oh, the coffee is GOOD. A good vibe all around.

I had a shredded chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and a hibiscus iced tea with cane sugar, which were both excellent. Got an Italian cinnamon roll for someone that I was told was also wonderful.- The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Taylor who made perfect recommendations on both the food and drinks. Highly recommend a visit!

There was no line up when we got in but I did notice a queue once we were inside. It's a cool spot! People rave about this place for the gelato and pastries and they're not wrong! It's tasty! Secured some of the goods, we got a croissant, lavender shortbread, cruffin, carrot cake and I also bought some coffee beans. The pistachio gelato was the highlight. They also have a fridge filled with some ravioli and soups etc! Good idea highly recommend this spot! Plus they have tons of parking spots

Wandering, looking for breakfast. As we walked toward what we thought we were going to have for…read morebreakfast, we passed the Sour Pickle. The smell of breakfast wafting from the restaurant grabbed my sniffer and led us to the front of the store to look at the menu. A Quick Look and we decided to give the pickle a go. Me and the boss decided on the Mexican omelet and a coffee. What a meal. Toast and crisp, delicious hash browns shared the plate with the main attraction, an enormous three egg omelet stuffed with peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon and onions topped with cheese and salsa sauce. The boss had me finish her omelet but by God I finished all mine too.... Thankfully we had a walk back to the hotel to work some of that big breakfast off. Prices are in line with every other place here in Victoria, however this is a local, husband and wife team that make awesome food and seem genuinely happy to be serving their brand of home cooking to the people. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in again when we return and try another menu item, wish we had found you sooner!

Cute diner that is 60s reminiscent. It was clean and had plenty of space. I came on a Monday at…read morearound noon and it wasn't busy. I like that there were trivia cards on the table for you to entertain yourself while you wait for your food. The staff was very nice and attentive. I got the What the Cluck fried chicken and stuffed fries pancakes. I did see the reviews saying the portions were huge but this could've definitely fed 2. For $23, I think this was a steal. I only was able to finish one layer of waffles, the piece of chicken, and some potatoes in my sitting and had to pack them for later. The pancakes had herbs (green onions I think?) stuffed in between which was interesting and I didn't expect it. My two complaints about the meal are that the outer coating of the fried chicken was overfried, resulting in a darker coat and the chicken to be slightly tougher, and that there was only one small piece of chicken. It definitely is a potato-centric portion, with loads of fries and side potatoes. I think if I was to come back, I wouldn't get this again but it settled my curiosity. My partner enjoyed her eggs benedict.

Although I didn't take any pictures, I felt this place was worth the review. We went here on a whim…read morebecause the cafe we planned to go to had a line out the door. Someone we passed on the street recommended Avalon, so we gave it a try. The place is small and cozy and we did not have a wait on a Saturday morning. The place had a very homey, family style that I adored. Our server was very busy (she had all the tables to herself) but she was really nice and good at her job. The food was very reasonably priced and super yummy. I got the breakfast sandwich and my husband got the omelet. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

You walk up to order and then snag your food once they call your name. We ordered 2 harvest burgers, a Central Sandwich and a kids hot dog. The hamburgers and all the ingredients are very fresh, but not super flavorful. The sandwich though, is totally worth the trip. The double smoked ham is almost bacon like and the jam gives the right amount of sweetness. It was absolutely delicious. If we come back to the area I would totally come back to order another.

We also tried the breakfast burrito and grilled cheese, and both were really tasty. Definitely a spot worth visiting! Tons of parking spots too!

Our group had a little bit of everything and all was good. I definitely recommend here for breakfast! It is a small place but they are very efficient. Probably the best thing I had were the potatoes. I do love how they smash and fry them so there are crispy bits. The bacon was really good too! The only real negative is everything needed salt and I am not usually a salt person but dang! Try it if you are in the area and able to wait.

We ordered Deluxe Beef Burger ($18.50), Clubhouse Sandwich ($16), Chicken Strips ($15.50) and a can of Coke ($3). All the food had a heart portion. They were freshly made and fries were perfectly done. We had our food with fries which also can be substituted for salad or soup. Everything was delicious. Portion was bigger than I thought it would be. Chicken strips were crispy and tender. Deluxe Burger was amazing it was loaded with different toppings including mushrooms. Clubhouse was pretty good as well. There were so much fries. We could eat fries endlessly while tummies feeling full. This restaurant really IS a hidden gem in Sidney. I'll remember to stop by again on my future visits to Victoria.
