Among the best Flat Whites I have tasted in my life. M83 blasting on vinyl for vibes & a combination of Washed Guatemala , Washed Ethiopia & Washed Costa Rica beans for the espresso proprietary blend (mixed together). Marvalous Taste & Concoction of a product. Missed out on Waffles, yet I will need to try again om a future Sunday. This is my favorite coffee shop in Victoria

The best place to get coffee in town. Rotating menu of single origin coffee from a selection of roasters. Super tasty baked goods, and amazing waffles every Sunday. This is easily one of my favourite spots in Victoria, and where I end up buying about 95% of my coffee. Always a warm and welcoming vibe. The owners and staff are all amazing people, and I feel incredibly lucky to have this coffee shop here in Victoria.

I visited this place on a busy Sunday. Lined up 10 minutes before 10 and there were already more than 10 people lined up. The door opened at 10 and tables filled up pretty fast. It was a bit chaotic trying to secure a table and keep our places in the line. There is no menu on the wall, so you have to go to their IG account and check the special, or wait till you get close to the counter where they keep a copy of their menu. Not sure if missing wall menu is intended so it looks cooler but personally I wished they prioritized customer experience over whatever they are trying to achieve. Ordered basic waffle ($10) and coffee. Coffee was really good and waffle was just okay. Conclusion: not sure what the big hype is all about. But if you are in the neighborhood, looking for a cup of coffee (in & out), perfect place. If you want to sit and have a proper brunch, go elsewhere.

This is a lovely little cafe tucked in the heart of Oak Bay Village. The owners and staff are all incredible. The drinks and treats are divine. And the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend coming here!

Yummy "Apple crumble waffles" on Sunday morning with cappuccino with almond milk. Crowded but high turn over. Very friendly staff and quick service. Recommended!

Hide + Seek has such great coffee and such a cool vibe. Not to mention lovely staff and owners alike! The drinks are delicious, as are the snacks/food. I have had some of the best cookies of my life here. Also, there is a great selection of coffee beans available for purchase and gift options for the coffee lovers out there. I would highly recommend checking this local business out!

My fave coffee spot in Victoria! They nail the coffee forward cappuccinos and seasonal drinks. Big fan of the Arnold Palmer too. Cool swag and chill tunes.

By far my favorite cafe in Victoria. They've created such a beautiful community atmosphere at Hide&Seek, and I love seeing all of the regulars whenever I pop in to get their delicious pour over coffee and mom-made sausage rolls.
Don't miss their waffle Sundays! It's a weekly tradition now that I wouldn't trade for the world. Their weekly features are finger-lickin' good!
Edita
Great drip. Tasted like the beans were properly roasted. Not burnt like in most of the cafés 😊will definitely come back

I was in Victoria for a conference but had a final I needed to finish for a class and stumbled upon Hide + Seek in my search for a space with wifi. The atmosphere was very chill and the employees were super kind. I was there for about 4 hours and felt comfortable the whole time. The orange and cardamom cake was so good I wanted to ask for the recipe. I also got green tea and they did two steeps for me during my time there, which was about 4 cups of tea and was really good. I would definitely recommend if you're in town visiting and want a nice (not super expensive) place to chill.

Amazing coffee and first class service. How can you not love a place where the server asks if you'd like a middle slice or the end piece of a coffee cake? The pour over is fantastic and the location lovely.

Let’s get critical…
Google Maps should have an espresso (review) category -five stars as a perfecto beverage. ‘Ready or Not’ in-house blend, is perfect, manual lever pulled shot few baristas can. Baked sweets are good and a prime selection of boutique roasts from Monogram, Thom Bargen, Bows…and more.
Place is a hidden jewel.

I'm updating my review after 4 years to say that this place still amazes me with the fantastic beans. They just HAVE to sprinkle something extra in there...I have no idea. Do angels single carols to your espresso machine at night? What happens in there, guys? Anyways. Love the vibe in here. Grab a window seat and read a book. Sit down and enjoy it.

Best coffee in Victoria by far. Food is okey ish but still gets 5 stars because of the coffee.

Great place to enjoy your coffee- best environment. Everything is great at this place
Sean Gordon
Great atmosphere, great staff/owners, delicious drinks made with care and attention, and a fantastic selection of specialty coffee beans from Victoria and around the world. An absolute must-visit cafe for any coffee enthusiast!
Nick
My go-to local place for beans. They always have a good variety of roasters to choose from, even some ones from Europe, which I haven't found anywhere else locally. Good range of prices as well, which means there is something for every budget. Haven't tried the food, but it looks pretty good!
Joanne Thomson
Warm and inviting atmosphere with beautiful art to delight the eyes while the gorgeous beverages delight the tastebuds.
Laura Renée
Favourite coffee shop in Oak Bay... maybe even all of Victoria!! Greatest atmosphere, best staff, amazing coffee/tea/food... I could go on!
Sondrea Power
Hands down, our favourite coffee shop in Victoria (& there is some good competition!). The owners, staff, coffee selection, atmosphere, music, kid-friendliness & of course the pop tarts ���.
Keep it up guys!
Colin Owens
You just feel better walking in the door. Bright, cheery atmosphere staffed by people who clearly love people and coffee. Fantastic variety of coffees and styles plus home baked goodies. Grab a cup to go or sit and chill to the music and enjoy the artwork and magazines.... and don't ever miss Waffle Sundays !!
Leah Edgley
Great owners, lovely staff, amazing coffee and delicious treats. What more could you want from a coffee shop?!
Hugh Aitken
5 stars alone for turning me onto First Aid Kit! Kate Bush's Running Up the Hill!
Best java in the Village.
Amber Jordan
Hide and Seek is where I go for a bite to eat on my lunch break and sometimes a morning. I am always greeted with friendly faces and personal service. Avocado toast is delicious, coffee is always fresh and magazine collection is the best in town! Highly recommended.
Braden Wheatcroft
Love this place. Great coffee and awesome staff. Make sure you try the homemade pop tarts... seriously. And grab one for me too! Delicious �
Samantha Hoffman
The barista made a fantastic coffee selection for me. The music was from a record and was a complimentary background "noise". Even thou she was closing only minutes after my arrival, she allowed me to sit and enjoy my coffee while she tidied up. I didn't even notice she was cleaning up until I returned my dishes! It was awesome!
Barbara Todd Hager
Love the coffee, hemp option, orange cardamon cake and especially the friendly always smiling baristas who remember your favourites.
Selena Styan
They have a wonderful atmosphere and the most delicious coffee! <3 Great presentation of the drinks too!
John Garside
Wonderful all around. Cozy shop, fabulous people, coffee, and house made treats :-)
Jessica Bender
Awesome place. And owners who walk the walk, rather than talk the talk, when it comes to community!
Ashley Cornwell
Love this place from day one but now too many people know about it!
Ivan Meade
Great coffee, exceptional service and a cool environment to chill while sipping a great cup of coffee.
Roger Stephen
Back for a second round at what I personally consider Oak Bay's only note-worthy specialty coffee establishment! Had a perfect latte this morning complemented with refreshing sparkling water. Well done guys, Oak Bay has long needed a decent place to enjoy a coffee!
Jennifer Bee
Great people, great vibe. They often have music playing from their record player which always sounds inviting; and the space is open, clean and welcoming with lovely big windows at the front where my little ones cannot resist sitting.
The coffee is always REALLY good, and of course they carry Empire Doughnuts which really no one should say no to - ever - because they are delicious. They also have really tasty home-made pop tarts that are a huge hit with my daughters.
This is a family friendly place with accessible blocks, books and magazines only further enhance your stay.
Enjoy Hide + Seek!

Just came in for the first time, had a wonderful experience!!
