Reviews for The Hot and Cold Cafe in Victoria, BC
Umm-mmmmm. Yum. Stumbled across this cool place while looking for lunch in Victoria. Delicious, fresh food - we had the coconut... curry soup, mama Lynda?s baked eggs & the sweet chili smoked chicken sandwich. All were fantastic. Portions were big - nice tohave the half size option - great for a light meal or to have some soup with it (Go full size if you?re pretty hungry). Sorry,no pics. Ate too quickly. Service was super friendly, helpful & welcoming (order at the counter). Read more
Lovely little café. Had the almond veggie sandwich and the sweet chili tofu and both were really good, the almond veggie was my... fav tho. The house made focaccia is soft and flavourful, the veg fresh and crispy and the almond spread is creamy and salty. sogood. The coffee is also very delicious, I tried both the hazelnut and vanilla oat milk latte and was pleased with the sweetdrink. The staff is really nice, Jill took my order every time and she is so kind and hard working. However; each time, there?squite a line up and not nearly enough staff, so everyone is rushing to get orders out. I feel really bad for the staff having tostress like that. Also, there?s never any music playing, so it?s a lil awkward to hear every one whispering to each other.Music would create an ambiance that is much needed. The layout isn?t great, considering you wait in line while others eat, butthat?s most restaurants, unfortunately. Overall, very good experience, but a few things could be improved to make this placetruly special. Read more
We weren?t sure if this is where we wanted to stop for lunch, but we were glad we did! The staff was very helpful and... enthusiastic about our menu choices, and gave us a good timeframe for when we?d get our food. The curried egg sandwich wasfresh and light, made with their house-made bread. The salad was also really nice and very tasty. Glad we stopped in for a bite! Read more
This is one of my favourite spots I?ve discovered in Victoria! Awesome coffee (I always get iced), awesome vegetarian sandwiches... (it?s so rare to find a place that has so many amazing veggie options) and legitimately the BEST cookies ever! I adore thisplace! Read more
It took me way too long to try some of the sandwiches here, but now I cannot be stopped. The Creamy Almond Veggie and Sweet... Chili Chicken sandwiches are so fresh and delicious, it's everything you can ask for in a sandwich. The soup and salads lookvery yummy as well, so can't wait to try them. You will find me on the outside street patio with my dog on too many days of theweek. Watch out around this time of year, the beautiful tree out front, will pelt you in the head with it's little spiky greenacorn thingys. Read more
This is the best cappuccino I've ever had! Very friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere. The foccacia bread can only be... described as "magical". The sandwich is bursting with flavour. I would give this breakfast 6 stars if I could. Pictured here, isthe half devoured cappuccino, Mama Linda's Baked Eggs, and a jalapeno foccacia to go. Read more
Wholesome and delicious! An excellent place to stop by for a healthy lunch. I enjoyed every bite of the chicken sandwich. Small... warning though, there isn't much seating available at the moment (about 4 tables in total). Read more
