Fantastico bar-deli - Victoria, British Columbia

Sheri L.

We stopped in on our bikes yesterday at 3:55 pm and the staff behind the counter (female) had no interest in helping us to figure out if there was cashews in some of the products.

She did mention they were made in-house at “the other location” but that was as far as she wanted to go.

The ingredients for food should be made available for those inquiring instead of “blowing us off”

The cold brew was good and the area clean. The gentleman who brought us our coffee was very pleasant.

I come almost every morning to enjoy the tea and gluten free baking. It’s so difficult to find good gluten free baking and the muffins are 10/10!

Some of the best coffee in town. Beautiful interior and great outdoor seating, especially on a nice sunny day. Definitely a top recommendation to anyone in town!

Situated near downtown, adjacent to a shipyard, the location and view might not be the most appealing. However, the quality of the food more than compensates for this. The pizza was very tasty, and the snapper fish I had was delicious. They serve simple dishes, but each is packed with flavor. I also recommend trying their prosciutto.

The establishment is divided into two sections: a deli/restaurant and a café. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the entire place is spotless.

I have only had pizzas and beer in tap. The first time I had meatball pizza and it was phenomenal. The second time I went they only had one that was pepperoni and olives. It was dried out and overheated. Pepperoni was tough as anything. I saw others had the meatball sandwich and it looked pretty yummy. The cheeseboards looked amazing too. Fair selection of craft beer on tap. Happy hour was from 4-5pm. Very short.
Staff are super friendly which helps since when it gets busy it can get extremely noisy as the place is all hard surfaces and cavernous. I suspect when summer comes and they flip up the wall to wall garage doors open to the view of the harbour this would change.

Our family visits a lot of coffee shops and cafes in Victoria, and we were really disappointed with the level of friendliness and helpfulness the two baristas showed our entire group (of 5). They didn't smile, they were rude when we asked if they warmed up sausage rolls, and repeated back a question we had asked in loud and over enunciated tones. One of our group members has also experienced less friendly service at the Kings road location too. Beautiful location, but unfortunately we will be visiting many of the other lovely cafes in Victoria next time.

I miss that large vegetable pizza they used to have. The first one I got was large and it was on a cutting board. It was great quality. The last time I had one was much smaller, not as rich ingredients, mostly bread.

I ordered a 7$ chai latte, it was okay.
Nice patio and kind staff. Cute little store inside. I love the attached art museum
