This is my favorite breakfast place. I usually have the benny. The Italian imported coffee they service is the best in Victoria, by the way. Go Cherry.
Wish I could rate them higher- showed up around 12 after the big new years brunch rush and the kitchen was still killing it, going above and beyond. The food was amazing and on top of that, they brought us extra eggs we didn't even ask for because they thought they *might* have overcooked them; the original eggs were fine, but the ones they sent us were the most perfectly medium eggs I have ever had in a restaurant. Perfectly runny yolks but absolutely no snotty-ness! Every aspect of our meals were amazing; perfectly spicy corned beef hash, beautifully seasoned sausage, the amazing eggs, and perfectly balanced pancakes. On top of all that, the portions were huge! Amazing place, couldn't recommend more!
Excellent breakfasts, the duck sausage & sweet potato hash is especially good. The option of sitting outside is nice. Coffee is good but not outstanding. The service model, as others have mentioned, is a bit confusing; I have a bit of trouble deciding upon a tip % until after the meal!
Overall a solid breakfast, a true sit-down restaurant experience would have led to a 4 rating.
We had breakfast here last Saturday and were pleasantly surprised. A short walk from our home and we hadn't tried it despite living in the neighbourhood for a few years now. It was awesome. I had eggs Benedict to which I added bacon and caramelised onions. It was delicious. The English muffin was so crispy and the eggs were perfectly poached with beautiful orange yolks. The potatoes were nice pan fries seasoned with rosemary. My husband had the corned beef hash which he really enjoyed. We'll be returning
Our first visit to Cherries was a very enjoyable experience. Attentive staff, nice atmosphere, and most importantly delicious food! We've been in search of a replacement breakfast place for Cabin 12, I think we've found it.
Food is good but service model is weird and confusing. Either make it full service or self service, but not a hybrid where you bring me my food but I get my own napkins and am expected to somehow intuitively know that the coffee I ordered comes up not at the counter where I ordered it but at the other one around the corner. If they would only change that I'd give it a 5. As it is, 3.5.
Love this place! It's a weekly affair.
Great food, reasonable prices.
If you ask my daughter when she wants to go, it's always Cherries!
Wow - What a surprise!. This place is an incredible surprise. It's a little funky and little retro but the food is amazing and the portion size will make your eyes widen in astonishment! I had their turkey and spinach sandwich. OMG it was so good and flavourful, I've never had anything that has come even close to this one. I would encourage everyone to give this place a try. I'll definitely be back for more.
Awesome!!. Stopped in for some brunch today and just loved it. I love the atmosphere and had the Shrimp, avocado and bacon benny. It was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend Cherries. You can tell that the owner really cares.
Best Brunch Bistro We've Eaten In. The four of us all agreed that this was the best brunch bistro any of us have ever been to in Victoria. The portions are huge, the prices reasonable, the atmosphere quirky, and the whole experience just the best. Cherries Breakfast Bistro is a bit out-of-the-way, but definitely worth a visit.
I ordered Eggs Benny with ham but received bacon by mistake. When I mentioned this to our server she offered to go get me a replacement with ham. I declined, she persisted, I again declined and thought that was the end of it. I was only a few bites into my meal when our server returned with a full 'new' Eggs Benny with ham!! What a surprise! She apologised profusely, smiling the whole time, and said "Our customers are important to us and we want to make sure they are always happy with the service and their meal". What a refreshing attitude.
We'll definitely return and bring others with us.
I absolutely love this place. Server are very kind and helpful. Food is consistently delicious.
The coffee is great as well, better than most coffee shops in Victoria.
Every time I visit this place I end up with a huge smile on my face and a happy tummy.
Been meaning to try this place but hours are usually detrimental to my work shift. Service was fine except receiving a pitcher of ice cold water would have been more sufficient than receiving mason jars of lukewarm water. The perogies dish was good and clearly their best dish but the Boston clam chowder was very lackluster as it seemed very soupy with very little clams (very disappointing value for $11). The duck hash is okay but not memorable enough to reorder in subsequent visits.
I came to try their savory breakfast menu. If I come again, I'll test their sweet breakfast menu. Decor is a weird mishmash of eclectic and tacky. The faux flowers in the vases look like decades old dollar store flowers that could at least be updated with modern dollar store flowers that look a smidge more realistic? Either way, the establishment has its own funny charm so I will return.
I used to live in the neighborhood and this was my go to, now i live 25 minutes away and it is still my go to. The servers are always kind, friendly and efficient. The food is incredible, can’t go wrong with the menno sausage (benny, bowl, anything) as well as the duck hash. Phenomenal
Awesome Lunch!! We often pop in, easy lication for lunch. We waited a OK length of time. We enjoyed the online ordering right at the till, no cashier. Friendly staff, great food.
Absolutely amazing breakfast and lunch spot, I love they version of all the classics. I love there breakfast poutine so much. Your choice of pulled beef or pork and believe me they don't let you down. An absolute must visit.
Amazing breakfast and lunch spot! My first go around I had the Clubhouse Chicken Sandwich and the Mennonite Sausage with Eggs Benedict the second. Both times were a treat and an experience on their own. Definitely coming back here when I am in town again.
Thanks Cherry!
I haven’t been to Cherries in several years and decided to try it again.
I don’t normally eat dairy but decided to have the Chocolate & Raspberry Infused German Pancakes because they were also gluten free. They were outstanding! I ate both out of pure gluttony! The menu has quite a few gluten free items and care was taken to prepare my meal.
My visit was made even better by my server, Isabella, who gave me excellent service and recommendations. Per her suggestion, I tried the matcha chai latte. I think it’s my new favorite.
I’ll definitely be back.
A lot of other breakfast places either have good drinks or good food, Cherries has both. The chai latte I got with my meal was the best I've had. The food was phenomenal, with so many amazing choices that I already have my meals planned for my next 3 visits. The pulled pork was phenomenal, the Mennonite sausage was outstanding, the rollkuchen were scrumptious. So many things here you can't get anywhere else. The staff are all super friendly and make you feel like a good friend.
There are a LOT of breakfast spots in Victoria, and I've been to a very good number of them. If you only go to one of them, this is it. This is the best breakfast in Victoria.
Breakfast for two: $40ish
Positive: large breakfast selection, good quantity amount of food (compared to the village), while maintaining deliciousness. Interior was homestead like, spacious and not cramp. Service was excellent.
Negative: none
Food for thought: come early to get better seats. Place get busy quick, so be patient because of limited number of staff. I highly recommend their breakfast pierogies.
Cherries Bistro is a wonderful restaurant. The food was delicious. It was a little bit colder than I would have liked personally, but the restaurant was busy, so I do understand. I enjoyed the atmosphere and they were playing great oldies music, but the music was a bit too loud. We ordered the Buffalo chicken Benny and the mushroom, spinach, and goatcheese with bacon added Benny. The hollandaise was homemade, creamy, and tasty. The eggs were poached perfectly. The only reason I am docking points for the service is because we had to wait a while to get water refills, and they served the water in tiny jars. My partner wasn't too impressed with this, but he's a big water drinker. The coffee was delicious.
We enjoyed our visit. I want to mention that the parking isn't the greatest at this location. Especially when there was a mustang parked across 2 stalls right in front of the entrance to the restaurant. If I were the owner, I would have asked the patron to park properly. Anyways, you will like this place, they have an amazing selection of food.
