First time visiting Victoria, BC and looking for good local breakfast when we stump upon this cafe. We did not want to wait 1 hour to experience good local food. Artisan Cafe look modern and clean. My husband and I shared the a full butter chicken Benny, which was so good and new to our palate. Then, we completed our breakfast with some sweet berries crepes which was good. Our children shared the Traditional breakfast. The potatoes were done perfectly, tasted like fries. We would definitely come back here on our next visit to reorder their butter chicken egg benedicts.
We came in here cuz the blue fox beside was super long lined up. The tomato sauce is sweet and spicy. Very unique. The amount looks tiny at first glance. But we were both so full after a few bites. Good quality food and service. Worth a try here.
Speedy service to the point my order came to the table first even though my order came after those who were seated before me. I had the Artisan Benny and every ingredient was fresh and generous portion. The meal left my palate with a delicious buttery aftertaste that made me felt complete but not too full I couldn't crash into bed. A wonderous stop after my graveyard shift.
Why line up waiting for competition that has poor seating and standard service when you can eat at a place that brings exemplary entrees in no time flat and get you going for the rest of the day? I was in and out of the joint in less than 15 minutes but left with a feeling I will definitely come back for more.

Had their Habanero Chicken burger and the food was normal. It wasn’t as spicy as I expected, I guess that’s why they gave us a bottle of Habanero sauce. The staff was attentive. The place wasn’t too crowded. It was conducive for conversations without being loud.
In town for one day visiting so decided to try this new cafe for a typical Canadian breakfast. The food was delicious and above expectations! Service was excellent but very slow due to being understaffed. The menu has a variety of unique dishes which was good to see but the drinks menu was standard with nothing that screamed out at me. I would easily come back. Lost one star on the understaffing and drinks menu :)
Best french toast ever!!! I ordered apple caramel cheesecake french toast and wowwwww so yummy!
And the duck was amazing!
What a hidden gem! I didn’t want to queue for my brunch so popped into this cafe. Only open 4 weeks and I bet shortly I’ll have to be queuing here! Can’t rate the service highly enough, from delivering my eggs just as I like them to taking the time to sit and give me some directions and local recommendations. Yummy breakfast and the coffee really tasted artisan too! ;-) Good job guys
The wait to get food was pretty long but the food was worth it. The portions are a bit smaller than other brunch places which I personally prefer because it was just the right amount. Their specialty drinks are more reasonably priced than other places but I didn't have any so I can't speak for sizes and taste. Overall this will probably be my new go to until people realize it's there and the lineups start.
If you are on your way to the blue fox for brunch....don't pass by this place!!! Stop on your way there and you wont be disappointed!! Long line up where we were headed so we thought we'd come back and try this place. From the farm fresh eggs to the candied bacon and the duck breakfast dish to the homemade jam and ketchup, this place earns a 10 star!! Food was awesome....service was great. This place is a hidden gem and we're so glad we stopped by!!
The veggie hash is so very good! The asparagus was some of the best I’ve ever tasted! Being from Ontario, our asparagus season was over months ago. Super good service, reasonable prices and decent coffee. Love this spot for a quick and yummy breakfast!
