Great place! They have a great selection of brunch foods and juices and the service was very fast. Plenty of vegan and gluten free options as well. If you just want coffee, the americano was just as good as in your specialty cafes.

Cute new café! Surprisingly spacious! Equally massive menu. We were floored by how many items they have on the menu, from breakfast sandwiches on bagels, tartines, French toast, egg dishes, fresh juices, smoothies, coffee, pastries, and more! Had the chicken schnitzel tartine and it was so crispy and not greasy. Serving size is huge. Their fresh squeezed juice, also It was packed on a weekend brunch. But they do stay open late and it was much calmer then. Love the atmosphere. Very pretty. Would come back just to try the other things on the menu! So many interesting bagels sandwiches!

Wonderful cafe. The food here is excellent as well as the coffee, lemonades etc. Lunches come with salads and sides etc. and imo are priced well to match what you get. They’re also cool with people bringing in laptops and they have solid WiFi.

Victorian Cafe is adding salads to their menus, just in time for Spring! This one is an inventive combination. Spinach and arugula for your greens packing nutritional bang, but grilled Halloumi cheese on top is sumptuous salt and protein AND steamed beets wedges throughout are a generous sweet pleasure. Curls of Shiitake mushrooms throughout, oh my! Nicely sliced ripe avocado for your own dispersal. Lightly dressed. I feel so nourished and pleased. Options to select add one. Try their roasted sunflower seeds, is one way to enhance.

I stopped by Victorian Café last week with my coworker for smoothies and pastries, and it was such a delightful experience! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for catching up or unwinding. Ash and Sunny, the owners, were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable during our visit. The smoothies were fresh and delicious, and the pastries were simply amazing. It’s clear they put a lot of care into their food and customer service. Can’t wait to come back, highly recommend!
