Bean Around the World - Victoria, British Columbia

Update: BATW is an excellent espresso, paying $5(w/ tip)for an espresso?! 😳 🫨🤯. I can see paying more for crafting of an oak milk latte…doppio espresso =

Great atmosphere, but disappointed by the coffee. The atmosphere honestly is awesome, with them roasting their own coffee live in the shop. Breakfast muffin was very good as well. The coffee however disappointed, cappuccino with no latte art (can live without, but with that name and focus would expect more) and boiling ... hot milk (what you can expect if the barista steams milk without a hand on the milk jug for temperature control). Judging from the pictures they do a better job on other days. Read more

We had the iced matcha and hot mocha. The matcha was pretty good, tasted a bit nutty for some reason but good, had to add extra sugar though. The mocha was okay too, have had better. The store is cute.

I had a wonderful experience at this bustling cafe located in the heart of Victoria's Chinatown! Despite always being busy, they have the option to sit outside, which allowed me to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the crowd passing by. The coffee they serve is quite good, providing a satisfying pick-me-up ... during my visit. As for the sweets, they were pleasant but fell somewhere in the middle in terms of excitement. However, the overall experience was elevated by the lively vibe of people coming and going, creating a dynamic and enjoyable environment. The sight of locals and tourists mingling, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the sounds of chatter and laughter all contributed to a sense of warmth and community. It's the perfect spot to people-watch, immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere, and soak in the charm of Victoria's Chinatown. If you're looking for a place to savor a good cup of coffee, relax amidst a vibrant crowd, and experience the charm of this historic neighborhood, I highly recommend this cafe. It's a delightful spot to unwind and feel a part of the city's lively pulse. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!y Read more

It was our first time at Bean Around the World coffee shop in Victoria and we really enjoyed it! It’s a cosy and cute spot. The decor was beautifully done. In my opinion, it is unique. Great coffee and delicious baked goods. You can tell they’re all made with love. ... We got a croissant and a pumpkin muffin. The pumpkin muffin was my favourite; excellent flavours and super tasty! Additionally, I ordered a London fog and it was delightful. The staff is friendly, nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some fantastic coffee and baked goods that’ll start your day right! 💯 We shall return 😊 Thank you! Read more
