Amazing breakfast, friendly and fast service. I had been wanting to visit Mosi for a while as I used to work at La Collina in the bakery. I will be back again, and again, and again!!
Always great for bread, sweets or a Savory meal. Breakfast is excellent. Pizza dough wonderful to take home. Most of all I love their fresh fruit gelato.
Great atmosphere, excellent pastries and service. Drum roaster coffee, Hoyne beer and Tod Creek Cider - what more could a west coaster ask for? Priced on the higher side, but hard not to want to support this family business. Can be very busy and very space constraints so be prepared. Coffee to go can also take much longer than anticipated.
Cozy, small patio. Friendly service, reasonably priced. Excellent pastries, bread rolls, etc. Stopped in for breakfast. Crisp bacon, Cordon Blu style scrambled eggs (very nice), shredded hash browns. Arrived quickly, not greasy, all hot on the plate. Coffee's fine too. Definitely will stop by when I'm in the area.
What a delightful café/bakery. We went for brunch on Sunday two weekends ago & we had a lovely meal. The faro pudding was delicious, as was the Eggs Firenze. The poached eggs were soft, as I had requested & sitting on a roasted portobello mushroom & spinach with a romescue sauce. It was a delicious meal. We took a few baked goods home & they were all delicious, particularly the orange water & pistachio meringue. It was crunchy on the exterior & slightly chewy on the interior. Heavenly. There was some confusion about paying the bill, which took the team a bit of time to figure out. But, generally, the service was fine.

Hungry runners pleasantly surprised!. After running the TC half marathon yesterday, my husband and I with our daughter and her husband, looked for somewhere to have brunch. After leaving several restaurants in the Royal Oak area because of the lineups and obvious chaos (every runner in town was hungry!) my husband recalled reading an article about a new bakery/restaurant near Prospect Lake on West Saanich Road, that was owned by the founders of La Colina. We decided to give it a try. It was busy there too, with a line up inside the door that we thought would take forever to seat. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated fairly quickly with a friendly smile and welcome by the staff. The menu is really interesting and varied and we all thought everything sounded delicious. We ordered mimosas to celebrate the run, and our meals came in good time. No long waits, even though the place was super busy and the lineups were continuing. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The coffee was also very good. The staff were obviously surprised by the onslaught of customers but they worked hard to please and serve everyone in good time and they were organized and professional. I'm sure our server and the chef both felt that they too had run a half marathon by the end of the day! Well done - we will be back and tell all our friends!
Buonissimo. We visited on a Sunday, so they are open from 9am despite the open hours listed here. Nicely refurbished, light and airy, super friendly staff and great food. Plus it's walking distance for us, which is a rare treat. Delicious pastries and decent coffee. Homemade hollandaise was excellent with the egg brunch dishes. We took home a couple of loaves for sandwiches. We will definitely be back to sample the gelato!.
This was our first time visiting today. We stopped by for gelato on the way home from the fair. This was by far my best ice cream experience in Victoria. It is on par with the best ice creams that I have had in the world. I was absolutely floored by the flavour and quality of the gelato. I had vanilla and chocolate and it was fantastic. My husband had two different sorbets and they were delicious. Also, the quality of the waffle cones was excellent. The service was friendly and quick. There are picnic tables and tables to sit outside and eat. I would absolutely return here. Now I can see why so many people have recommended this place. Absolutely excellent. We didn't get a chance to try any of the baked goods but they look amazing. Definitely something to come back for.
It was my first time visiting. We had breakfast pizza and almond croissants.
Everything was good . Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere are additional.

Little hole-in-the-wall Italian bakery. Everything is off the hook delicious. I briefly lived in the area and now I go out of my way to come here on a regular basis. The coffee is amazing, the baking is amazing, the breakfast is amazing. Just go you won't regret it.
I really enjoy this location as it is away from the hustle and bustle. The food and coffee are great. There are many other food items for sale. Pasta and frozen meals.
My son goes here every week for a special treat like the sausage bun.
I usually get the Brie croissant and it is so fresh and tasty.
Fantastic bakery and boutique store. Very busy on the weekend. Bought a gift (strawberry and fig balsamic reduction) for a freind while I was waiting on line to order. They have a small collection of cook books, olive oils, vinegars and other fun gifts and authentic good. I ordered their ham and cheese croissant and their pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. I ordered the pecan brownie as well I was a tad disappointed that the crusty part against the pan wasn't cut off however people may like this portion of the brownie. A service was reasonably quick despite the long lineup to order. Kudos to the staff for the fantastic baked goods.
Surprised by the wide selection of baked goods and warm cafe foods. Be sure for dessert try their compost cookie! This lil cafe also serves as a grocery store carrying wide selection of dry goods, frozen, to go meals, food cans and jars.
This is the absolute best place to get a pastry (or twelve). The Brie cheese croissants and the marscapone berry and cream croissants are worth the stop any day.
If you want high quality food and desert, this is definitely the place!!! Personally I go there for their croissants since they are as good as the typical French croissants you would find in Paris. Another favorite item is their Raspberry almond muffins 😋. My tummy loves them. I had to give 4 stars because it's always super busy with long lines, not enough parking space and my favorite muffins always get sold out by 1 pm. So I basically have to run there at 11 am to get them 🙃
First time there, so I got the first sandwich on the menu. Nice fresh focaccia is hard to go wrong. Thick meat, could have used a bit more aioli in my opinion. If I were to make this sandwich at home, I would dress the arugula with a bit of oil and vinegar, just to maximize flavour town for all ingredients and give the beautiful bread a little something to soak up… Was quite busy, so we were there for about 20 mins before our sammies came out, but it was nice waiting in on the sunny patio despite the busy road. I will try another sandwich next time.
