Serious Coffee Esquimalt

This is my new favourite coffee spot! Hidden gem. Great for studying. Quiet, free wi-fi, some plug-ins, and a great selection of coffee & syrups! Really lovely staff, parking available, and super cute, vibey environment! I'll definitely be coming again.:)

Always a friendly experience with drinks that beat out any of the larger chains. Large selection of syrups to suit any taste. Plenty of in-store seating.

We visited this place twice while visiting Victoria. The quality is exceptional and the tea lattes are some of the best we’ve had. I came here thinking it was a one-location type place but I see why it’s so popular with multiple locations. Can’t wait to come back when in town!

I try not to come here unless I really need coffee. The new owners never have enough people working in the morning. The poor girl was by herself serving the long line of customers making each individual drink before helping the next customer. I think they should bring back the mixing station. I don't order food here it takes to long with one person working.

Barista didn’t know what a latte frappe was, even though it was on the menu. After several minutes of explaining, got served a cup of bitter sludge full of coffee grounds. When I asked for it to be sweetened, I got told “syrup costs extra”. Please train your baristas…

Saw me sitting outside waiting for a Meetup. They told me to come inside and gave me a complimentary small hot chocolate. Very sweet of them!

Coffee is very pricey. Husband asked for decaf and they forgot.so he was sick the rest of the day.

Quick service but the lattes are hit and miss. The coconut milk is watery. Atmosphere is casual and warm but not where you'd want to take your next Instagram.

A quiet and relaxing coffee shop to study or to meet up a couple of friends. They also have a cozy upstairs with tables and chairs where you can focus on your reading or stuff. Have a various choice of coffee, tea and bakeries with friendly customer service.

My latte was ok.asked for extra foam but they poured the milk too soon.they didn't let the milk and foam separate.

Love this place! Staff are lovely. Excellent espresso. Perfect lattes. Consistent quality for years. I always feel better for visiting this little gem!

Service could be faster, there's no tap option on their payment gateway making it even slower to grab a drink from them and leave. If you wanna sit inside, it's a chill environment to be in. Their smoothies keep bringing me back.

Great coffee, outstanding service and fair prices. They also have an amazing selection of snacks.

It's surprisingly spacious. It was very lively on a Saturday but that was good and bad as it was also very noisy. The decaf Americano was really flavorful for a decaf.

Best coffee and best people serving it. The atmosphere is cosy and the people are really friendly and helpful. I have found all Serious Coffees to be this way. I order the latte every time. Well worth the price and service to die for.

Brioche central! The cinnamon brioche at this Serious Coffee are some of the best around. I have enjoyed a few as I sat in the comfy surroundings of this centrally located Serious Coffee. The staff are kind and helpful, the location is clean, the bathrooms are accessible, and the wifi is free! Plus, this location participates in a sustainable project, where they offer up their spent coffee grounds for people to take and add to their gardens.
I have loved my times spent at this Serious Coffee.

It's official! This is the slowest coffee shop in Canada! There were 4 people in front of me and two staff members behind the counter. I figured I'd have a coffee in five minutes. Nope! That took 20 minutes. On the upside the staff is having a great time!
