Victoria has excellent cafes, and everyone has their favourites for good reason. But if you’re looking to try something new next time you grab your coffee from somewhere local, check one of these five under-the-radar cafes.

Routine Coffee & Supply

Routine is a fresh addition to downtown Victoria’s coffee scene, bringing a stylish grab-and-go experience. Since opening in January, it has quickly gained a following for its expertly crafted specialty coffees, teas, and light bites. While there’s no seating, the space itself is a visual treat—think beautiful plants, vintage TVs, and a bold yellow-and-white colour scheme that perfectly reflects the brand’s playful vibe. Whether you need a quick caffeine fix or simply want to check out one of the city’s coolest new coffee spots, Routine is well worth a visit.
