Review Imagine Studio Cafe - Victoria

The imagine cafe was an absolute delight from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly and super patient… it was our fist time and we asked a lot of questions 😊… the baker at the cafe was a straight-up awesome guy! I’m The coffee was the best we had in Victoria! We ordered a Portobello mushroom pizza 🍕 … it was absolutely delicious! We ended off our visit with brownies. You gotta try the brownies!

Stumbled across this place while looking for coffee at fisherman’s wharf (where many places weren’t open at breakfast time). The food was great, coffee was lovely and the ethos of the place to support people of all abilities is fantastic. We’re going back another day to try the cakes and pastries.

Wow! I'm so glad my local friend brought me here. The service was FANTASTIC, all the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. And the food is divine, I had THE best sausage roll I've ever eaten, the chicken soup my friend ordered was delicious too my only regret is I didn't have enough room for more of their offerings. Can't wait to go back! Great location too

Such a cute and wonderful café right near Fisherman's Wharf! Had an absolutely delicious breakfast with a brownie for dessert because I couldn't resist, and glad I did because it was rich and amazing. The staff were all great welcoming, and I loved it there!

Really awesome barista, super friendly and makes cute designs on drinks. Very nice atmosphere and the food is really fresh and great.

This was a fantastic cafe! We were staying at the World Mark around the corner and walked up here to meet a friend. There is tonnes of out door seating (covered and not covered) and some seating inside. The staff were all so friendly and engaging. They had a lot of baked good selection and the fresh pot of chilli on the stove smelled so good! I believe they do all of their own baking and cooking but even if they don’t it sure looked amazing! It was hard for me not to try everything especially their MASSIVE cookies! We ordered drinks and sat inside. The barista is quite skilled in latte art and made everyone smile when it was dropped off at the table. We love the concept of “inclusivity” of this cafe and the learning environment they create - very impressive! I recommend making this a top on your walk or scenic drive! Even if it is a bit out of the way it is worth it!

If you are visiting Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria and would like a lovely place to have breakfast or a light lunch, just walk across the park above the wharf and you will come to Imagine Café on Erie Street. The café serves organic food and offers ' an experiential & transformative learning space designed as an internship business program for young adults, all cultures & all abilities.', which we thought was wonderful. We went there for breakfast and had their French Toast with whipped cream (hey we were on vacation!), which was delicious but had a tough time making that selection because we were so tempted by their selection of pastries (croissants, danishes, etc.). Finally we decided that in addition to our breakfast we would buy scones for breakfast the next day (and they were wonderful too!). We visited just as it opened at 10:00 and there was a steady stream of patrons the whole time we were there so it was terrific to see this initiative get such support from locals as well as tourists. Some people were just coming in for lattes, cappuccinos, coffee and tea, but the tables also filled up with other breakfast eaters. They were just starting to fill their display case with salads, quiche, etc. for their lunch offerings when we left. At one end of the eating area is a pizza oven and eating bar. In addition to the inside tables, there are some patio tables out front and along the side of the building from which you can see the park and the city skyline. This place is well worth the four minute walk from the wharf.

Imagine Cafe is such a unique and lovely cafe that plays such an important part in our community. They provide training, employment and a place for young adults who face certain challenges to thrive. Truly commendable. The cafe is warm and welcoming. They have a big selection of baked goods that are absolutely delicious. It is the perfect place to grab a coffee and a bite.

I happened to run into this coffee shop while exploring Victoria and loved it-I will definitely be visiting again! The coffee was great and the pizza was delicious. The staff were very friendly and quick. Overall we had a great experience.

My husband and I received some breakfast coupons from our bed and breakfast at Fisherman’s wharf to come to this cafe, and we were so glad we did! The servers were so kind, the food was beautiful, and they even gave us a delicious, complimentary salad.

A cute coffee shop close to downtown and geared towards artists and writers. Fantastic baked goods made in house and a great selection of hot and cold beverages. The inspirational quotes really enhance the ambience of this place.

A 17 minute walk from the Fairmont Empress Hotel. Good coffee, pizza, salads & pastries. I went back for their blueberry juice/soda. So yummy! Indoor and outdoor seating. Cute little place.

Loved the beautiful outdoor seating area and had a delicious carrot cake. Would highly recommend this cafe as a great place to take a break around Fisherman’s Wharf!

This cafe is a hidden gem and as a designer I find the space inspirational, with the unique decor and beautiful art & craft instillations. The staff are all lovely and the coffee and teas are great. I love the little hand made mugs! I have tried some of there sweet treats too! - delicious!! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cosy and relaxed experience.

A great little cafe and pizza shop. Wonderful atmosphere. A ‘must visit’! And check out their website about’Imagine U Training’.

Spectacular food, warm cozy atmosphere, feel good cafe! Happy people and impeccable quality and service. My new Vic fave spot!
