Honestly what a great brunch spot! It was definitely top three during my time in Victoria. No line, the most friendly service and delicious, healthy food! We ordered the Avocado Toast and Breakfast Salad. Both were absolutely delicious and just the right amount of food.
I typically come out to Victoria once or twice a year. Brunch is always a highlight of Victoria eating. I stopped by Picnic Too after a long line up at the place we intended to go to. I am so so so glad that we ended up here instead. I was feeling extra sleepy and their incredibly smooth cacao cold brew perked me up. The real star here is the breakfast. I ordered their beautiful chorizo hash. Hot baby potatoes, avocados, crispy but tender chorizo, runny eggs , veggies, bread with a savoury house made pesto. My fiance got their breakfast sandwich, made with soft fresh bread, havarti, golden egg, vegetables. This was the last meal of our trip, and it was only rivaled by the gourmet wedding dinner we had the evening before as the best food of the entire trip. Support this local gem, I will be back one day for sure!
Was looking for caffeine and soup and ended up with an iced Americano and congee? Never expected to see congee but given my dental procedure just prior, I decided to give it a try. Congee was amazing! Not what you’d expect from a Chinese congee and in the best way. Americano was super smooth without the over-roasted bitterness of some better known coffee brands. I was on the island for a visit and will be back at my next opportunity.
Chorizo hash is a flavorful and hearty dish that combines smoky chorizo, crispy potatoes, and vibrant veggies. The balance of spices and textures makes it a satisfying meal, perfect for breakfast or brunch. It's versatile and pairs well with eggs. A delicious comfort food that’s sure to please! FYI: Payment issues made upfront when you place the order.
One of the best brunch spots in town! I’ve been here twice now and every menu item I’ve tried has absolutely delivered! Both quality and taste shine through. Dishes are prepared with detailed attention to plating and the eggs are always poached perfectly! Great coffee too and a wonderful ambience indoors for a casual brunch. Definitely recommend this spot to both visitors and locals!
Easily becoming my go-to spot. Salad and bowl specials are very good, love the variety of ingredients used. Protein is extra. Good selection of caffeine-free cold drinks too
Lovely cafe with attentive staff. Delicious breakfast choices, made to order. So good that we will be going back again tomorrow
