Review Sour Pickle Cafe - Victoria

Faith
I had breakfast at the cafe on a recent trip to Victoria and had a very pleasant experience. Would highly recommend for a home cooking experience The location is very central - right at Johnson Bridge Store Street - close to the harbour, shopping, Chinatown. I had the breakfast with scrambled eggs sausages and toast. Everything was made from scratch (just like home cooking!) fresh and delicious. Portions were generous. Just hit the spot. In addition the coffee is bottomless cup. It’s a family run cafe and service was courteous and friendly. The decor is very whimsical and cheerful with special place for pickle decorations 😀. There is a small outdoor seating area for nicer weather days. Very reasonably priced and a much cozier, friendlier start to the day than at bigger restaurants in the area. There were regulars when we dined there which added to the cozy ambience.

We found this place around the corner from our AirBnB. Really friendly/funny staff, and we had an excellent breakfast. Worth supporting local small businesses even when traveling.

The Sour Pickle is quite pleasing to dine at. Do not go there if you have time restraints because everything is made from scratch. We waited 20-25 minutes, but it was worth it. The Denver breakfast item is only on their special item menu posted outside the establishment, and I really enjoyed it! The sandwich is toasted to perfection and filled with so many healthy goodies. It came with a side of potatoe salad which was the best I have ever had... ever. The Tortilla Omelet is a HUGE serving with lightly fried potato in the side. If you like garlic, then this is the breakfast item for you. My brother and dad enjoyed it. The Veggie Omelet is also quite enjoyable here. The cheese ontop the egg is notably flavorful with the basil pesto.

We were heading to Jam but the line was crazy long so we stumbled into the Sour Pickle. Very old school in a good way. Service is amicable but the food was a bit of a let down. Very basic, under seasoned, and just bland overall. Especially for the price, I was expecting higher quality. Coffee was not included at almost $20/plate. So for $60 after tax and tip for two people, we left full but not fulfilled. I would probably wait for Jam next time.

Very chill but quaint environment. The food was very good for a very price. Friendly, personable service. Great to support a local family-run business. I had the classic eggs and bacon. The food came out fast and the home style fries were delicious. My niece had the waffles which came with some apple and orange slices and was also delicious

The waffle serving is smaller than what I thought, generous whipping cream and overall taste great. But I enjoyed the breakfast wrap more. I love the salsa, sour cream and ketchup that was serve on the side. The breakfast wrap portion is huge so it is better if you share it.

Great little hole in the wall spot. Will not that there is not many tables within the restaurant if you’re planning dine in. The decor is what you’d expect of a name like Sour Pickle cafe.. there are pickles everywhere, it makes it interesting. The service was quick from our orders being taken to our meal being served. The food was also good quality for a good price, quite tasty. I highly recommend checking out this spot for a breakfast/brunch area.

This is a very nice small family owned cafe 10 min walk from downtown Victoria. They have great options for breakfast and lunch. Their omelettes are really good! I was surprised by the bubble tea as well. They do not accept credit card. Only cash or debit

The owners of this unique space have been feeding people for 18 years in Victoria. I understand why their regulars keep coming back. The food is great, as is their service. Prices are great as well!

Service was very good. Followed up on food and coffee, not watered down coffee either, friendly service. I had the 2 eggs and Sausage. The eggs were perfectly cooked overeasy's. The bread was bland and I got a little packet of kraft strawberry jam without any offers for other kinds. Potatoes were bland and dry. Like something I make in a rush at home because I'm late for work. Breakfast sausage were a descent breakfast sausauge like something you get at cora's. Overall it's a place I would eat again if joining others but not gonna choose this as a place I love to eat at or that I would return because I want breakfast.

We live in Sask. but spend time in Victoria every winter. We found the Sour Pickle the first time we were in Victoria and were impressed with the friendliness and warmth of the owners, Tom and Michelle. They always remember us and welcome us back to Victoria. A real gem.

Every time I’ve come here, I’ve been blown away. I’ve only been here twice but each time is outstanding

This place is one of Victoria's best kept secrets. Small 'mom & pop' place (husband and wife, VERY nice couple) with excellent breakfast and bottomless coffee cups. If you leave here hungry, it's your own fault. No credit cards, cash or debit card only.

we were looking for something not huge and trendy to have lunch one day. Came across this cute little restaurant. Incredible service, so friendly....and the food delicious and low priced. Have been back again, same thing. It will become a favorite.

Been coming to Victoria on holiday since our Daughter was three. She's now twenty-one, and going to U. Vic. We love this place to eat at.
