Such a cute little coffee shop! Has a nice quiet atmosphere. They have the best doughnuts delivered in. Love this place and the coffee is delicious!

Shatterbox's owners know their coffee. They can tell you how the temperature of the machine and how the ambient temperature of the room throughout the day affects how your coffee is brewed and how long they have to pull shot fir your your drink. Think of them as caffeinated craftsmen.
If that sounds too highfalutin' a place for your morning or afternoon cup, they are very low key and down to earth. The drip coffee is also very good.
Great local european blend coffee shop ... Kaylen and Karen are local owners and are very active in the community especially in Art events. Order a "Miami Vice" for a unique cold coffee bevie to enjoy on the sunny patio. A popular locals hangout.
This place is my go to place I feel at ease when I go here. It's my coffee shop treat! I don't go anywhere else in victoria if I can help it! The owner is passionate about what he does and is very friendly.
The owner is passionate. Great customer service. Remembered our names after only our third visit. Also, best chai latte i have ever had! Milk was perfect temperature, perfect mix of sweet and spicy! Definitely reccommend.
Stellar cappuccino start to finish; texture, temperature and creamy espresso deliciousness.
A Toast to the New Cafe. I love this place, the atmosphere is artsy and decorated to bring out the light and alternative side of any coffee bar. The service is friendly and talkative with laughter and courtesy.
The location, I think many would agree, is a double edged sword. They have a great patio and a shopping center (Harris Green) right across the way, but being located in an auto dealership parking lot it is much harder to spot. I hope that with enough advertisement and word of mouth this coffee bar will get the loyalty and love it's worked so hard for.
Good luck Shatterbox, I will definitely be back!
Owner's passion for drink fashion promises success. Their Chai Tea Lattes are to die for! Best one I've tried to date! The owner seems very passionate about what he is doing, which comes across in the taste and appearance of his drinks. Prices are very good (cheaper then Starbucks, even though I would pay more than a Starbucks for this treat!) Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.
Really good coffee. They are all organic and fair trade. Sandwiches are yummy. We also had the tomato bisque soup. They do have a restroom but because it is smack dab in the middle of downtown, they have to be careful about people ruining it so you gotta ask for the key from, and it is kept behind the counter. When you enter this amazing place, the smell of coffee just elevates you. The ambience is really energetic.
lovey place to stop for some breaky and coffee in the morning! bagels where amazing, coffee was great! cute little produce section in the back! ladies at the counter were lovely! would return if we lived in victoria!
Started my day with a great bagel and coffee at Shatterbox today.
Service was great and the bagel was excellent. The bagel had smoked salmon, pickled onions, cream cheese and jalapeños. Sooo good 🤣🙌🏻🥯
Had a really nice matcha latte. Black cold brew was pretty good too. Nice vibe inside, seemed like a nice place to hang out although I got mine to go.
Probably the only place I have been able to find with GREAT ESPRESSO and a truly LARGE size that doesn’t cost over $7-8. Better than Starbucks or Macchiato. Love this place for lunch and coffee runs.
Really great coffee. Yummy desserts, especially the carrot cake. One star off for serving everything in disposable containers, including to people staying in to eat. It’s not as pleasant to have an expensive coffee (with a weighty tip option) out of a paper cup, not to mention the cumulative environmental impact.
Genuinely one of the best coffee shops I've been to in vic in a while and I've lived here for a few years now.
Amazing and kind customer service. I asked if I could put an egg on the brie melt and the owner( I presume ) replied in a bubbly "why not". I asked for a bit of salt and he brought some to the table very politely.
The quality of the coffee and the food was fantastic. It was obvious the ingredients are fresh. And there's also a lot of creativity in the menu items with fabulous presentation.
I can also see it's community oriented because of the little market inside with features of some local artists.
All around great little coffee shop / brunch spot!
I've seen the other location in passing but I didn't know they had a location inside The Hudson. My boyfriend recommended this place when I threw my back out this morning so I'm very thankful he suggested giving this place a try. All of the staff were hospitable and took the time to bring the food to us (we're seated almost halfway in the public market), making sure we have all the condiments needed.
With the food and my pain medication finally kicking in, I feel fresh as a daisy to conquer the day. 🙃
Had to update my review to 5 stars now that I’ve come back for the food. Brandon clearly knows his way around the kitchen. Great coffee, great food, and even better values. Love what you guys are doing!
Pretty good coffee! I got the “Graham Cracker” specialty coffee and it tasted like the pumpkin spice latte from starbucks. Overall, pretty good. The cinnamon is not too overpowering.
