This place was great, it was taken over by a new owner so there is lots of great new choices. My wife and I deviated from our usual pick and I’m glad we did. Delicious food, a very kind owner and a Boba Milk tea for the road. We are definitely coming back! Thanks again.

The new owner has operated the cafe for a year. They are Asian so they add Asian food on the menu. Recommended grilled pork belly ribs, wonton soup, Halo Halo ( a Philippines, dessert), Coconut espresso. As I’m on diet , I requested to skip the rice. So they added more grilled pork belly for my plate at the same price. The owner was working in my hometown before so we can communicate by my hometown language. They are very nice people.

We went to visit from Comox Valley and I was craving for rice. I did not see right away that they have Filipino food. Ate Aida, the owner was soo nice and generous with my order. The pork adobo really satisfied my cravings. We will come here everytime we go to Victoria. Good luck Ate Aida.. Salamat po. :)

Came back here after a long few years and was delighted to see it's still open. The new management is amazing and the ladies who work there are so wonderful and sweet it's a pleasure to see their smiles each day and you can see how many customers enjoy going there for lunch. I had the souvlaki wrap and saw the halo halo drink on the menu, couldn't stop thinking about it so I came back and all I can say is wow! Exceptional ladies there who make everything from scratch and the drink was beautiful and delicious! They made sure I knew all the ingredients and how to eat it and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10! Thank you!

The new owner is just lovely! My family and I popped in there yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Our son wanted pizza, so he had two pepperoni pizza slices, boy was it delicious. All freshly made including the dough. Omg heavenly! Definitely going to call and order a full one next time. We actually took the last two slices left (to go) while waiting for our food as our sons was so good. My husband ordered a Donair and I ordered a chicken souvlaki. So flavorful, loaded on the inside and was pure goodness! Atmosphere was great, cozy and the lady (Owner) I think Aida, was super friendly and kind. Highly recommend, we will be back! The Baldwin's
