Grindstone Cafe - Victoria, British Columbia

Got an iced chai and was very disappointed. Ordered a 12 oz which didn’t look like 12 at all… maybe 8. Was all milk with ice… And almost $8. Also, I am a student and only later saw a sign outside that student discounts are offered. Would have been ... nice to know before paying. Anyways, they have a nice atmosphere at least and the other food looks good from what I have seen. Read more

Stumbled upon this cute cafe while exploring Victoria. I ordered the avocado tuna wrap (absolutely delicious and a large portion of food), and an oat chai latte. Service was very quick, and staff was friendly. Highly recommend!

Cozy little place. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Offering fresh baked goods, sandwiches, breakfast, coffee, and a variety of other treats. Delicious 😋

Previously, this cafe had great, timely service and value for dollar. I ordered their tuna avocado wrap. It took 15 min to make, which they did while taking on the phone and hair hanging down. If the wrap had been delicious, I wouldn’t be writing bu the cucumber was soggy, ... it was all lettuce and I could find avocado. Also pretty small for the nearly $20 price. Read more

I saw this place on Instagram, specifically "nearme.victoria" and my expectations were so high. But actually going there was such a disappointing experience. I will give it two stars just because the people at the counter are so kind and the mocha coffee I ordered was decent enough. The place is ... like an old cluttered house. I ordered a popular breakfast sandwich but the food leaves a lot to be desired and the presentation is just terrible. I went there trying to work (I am a remote worker) but the places to seat are so uncomfortable. Definitely not going back. Read more
