Absolutely incredible place! Very nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service, delicious bright and sophisticated menu. Gluten-free dishes.
I recommend to everyone!
Purchased a carrot cake muffin. Hubby says it's delicious work lots of nuts. Cream cheese icing.
Purchased a rectangle piece of gluten-free pizza. About 6" by 5" for about $5. It was very delicious with a little bit of spiciness. The crust was made with rice flour, and was quite heavy with oil.
Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating.
Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet
Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service.
They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges.
Cheers
My favourite place to go when I visit Victoria! I have been eating here for many years. And each brunch or lunch or dessert is a feast for both my senses and belly. Nutritious, beautifully prepared and presented drinks and meals with exceptional flavours. Great service that is always sensitive and accommodating to my dairy and gluten allergies.
A huge hug of gratitude for the incredible people who make this place a beautiful experience in every way!
Paid 16 dollars (as I gave 2 dollar tip) for some good tasting chicken soup. I was disappointed to see there were only like 3 tiny pieces of chicken in the soup. Also for folks who don’t want bread, maybe provide a gluten free option or reduce the overall price of the meal. The servers were very kind and the soup tasted good but for the price point not so much!
NOT great for someone who has Celiac as very limited GF options (no GF burger buns) - they are clear that they cannot guarantee cross contamination, etc. HOWEVER, we did take a chance and ordered the Bacun Crafty Mac N Cheese dish with GF pasta - it was delicious! And so was the London Fog! The staff are friendly and helpful. And the atmosphere was relaxing. Nice to have tasty Vegan food in Victoria!
Best gluten free sandwiches ever! Family run business that doesn’t skimp on fillings. I get my toasted sandwiches here and they have really nice tea as well, loose leaf good quality. I come here weekly and generally don’t eat out places often but the quality is so great that I come here after my physiotherapy upstairs and it’s the perfect boost.
The washroom is very clean and spacious, wheelchair or stroller friendly, and has a changing table.
Lovely, charming locally owned cafe with excellent sandwiches. Not the place if you are in a hurry - the owner makes everything herself, and it’s delicious. I loved my gluten free sandwich - not dry at all like most places - and my spouse loved his. Great place to sit on the patio and enjoy Langford.
Came here for brunch with a Victoria local friend who recommended this restaurant. The inside is nicely decorated with natural light coming in from the windows.
There are plenty of options on the menu and cater to everyone's taste. There are plenty of gluten free and vegetarian items.
They are known for their egg benedicts so we have to give it a try while in Victoria. We ordered the Brisket Benedict on bagel and the Salmon Benedict on croissant (believe there is a $1 surcharge but was told worth the $1 if you like buttery and flaky bread). The bagel was a bit hard to my liking but definitely not soggy even with the eggs and brisket loaded on top. Also, it was quite unique to have a bagel in a benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly with medium runny yolks. The hashbrowns on the side were very crispy and flavourful.
We also ordered drinks to go with the meals. Tropical punch and lavender lemonade are quite popular for non-alcohol options.
Overall, our server was nice and attentive. Food was delicious. This would be my go-to brunch place if I live in Victoria.
The staff was lovely, the space was cute, the food was DELICIOUS!
They have a number of different options for dietary restrictions, which is great. Vegan, dairy free, and gluten free.
They are NOT however wheelchair accessible. A wheelchair user on their own would struggle to get into the slightly uneven seating area and would have to have the staff come outside to take their money as the window is up on a small porch area. Or being there with an able bodied person allows them to pay, which works for my husband and I, thus no knock on the review.
Would definitely go again if in the area!
I have celiac disease and have been here a few times and the food and service was good. However this morning I went and ordered the same thing I had the past few times with no issues I was informed that the kitchen would not be able to accommodate my allergy as I cannot have any cross contamination and that there were only 2 things on the entire menu that I could choose from. Mind you the two things to choose from were minus the hash browns and toast with the only sub being a small fruit bowl and still paying the same price. The waitress was very nice about everything and very apologetic when we decided not to order anything. However I felt like it is very poor of the restaurant to only be able to accommodate allergies when it’s convenient for them.
First time at Cafe Brio ever, you really are never sure what to expect at a new restaurant, what I can share is Wow I went with a friend and we sampled the duck, olives and lamb rib appetizers...all exceptional with lots of flavor and even though the online menu didn't show the full list of drinks they had some great original cocktails. For dinner I had a half order of Mushroom Risotto(texture exceptional lots of mushrooms and a interesting addition purple corn flowers) and a half order of the daily special Rock Fish. Alot of thought goes info the presentation and flavors in each dish. I took me 15 min to decide on what too eat and I cant wait to return. P.S. they have gluten free options and my friend was also extremely happy with his selections. Good job 👍 guys kudos to the chef and great service from the servers.
Absolutely delicious and great service!
I had The California and an iced chai and my partner had The Reuben (on a gluten free bun) and a green tea. Everything was absolutely delicious!
The service staff were super friendly, fast and helpful. I also love the overall ‘farmhouse’ vibe of the atmosphere!
The food tastes good. It's a little expensive for a walk up counter when you add on any protein or avocado.
Most of the additions were gluten free, which is why we chose this place.
They had fun beverage options.
It's accessible, but a tight squeeze inside when it's full in rush hours
Great little cafe with delicious coffee, good gluten free options for muffins and such, and excellent service. I especially love the pumpkin spice latte! Happiness in a cup.

Gluten-free delights!
Peanut butter chutzpahs are delicious.
GF pizza, by the slice. GF brownies.
Coffee was so-so.
Everything looks so yummy it's hard to chose! Prices can seem a tad high for some sweet baked goods but when you know they used good ingredients and things are so fresh it's worth the little extra! Definately recommend the cinnamon buns and any of the dessert bars. Only downside I would say is no gluten-free options.
We were looking for a bakery with gluten-free options, and found this place. There were a couple of cookies and muffins that were gluten-free. If you’re not gluten-free, the bread looked amazing and they had many pastries. There are just a couple of tables in the inside area and a few outside. The workers were very friendly and we had a nice experience.
I love this place, friendly staff, loads of gluten free, vegan options, delicious coffee!! And central downtown ! Great little patio with lots of sun. Business oriented people. Classy establishment for sure.
A bright, wide, beautiful scene with delicious early morning breakfast. Decorative, there's always something new to look at when you turn your head. The latte is tasty and the service is kindly. They carry vegan and gluten-free items. Teas and matcha are locally supplied.
Ordered a smoked ham and Swiss croissant, a gluten free chocolate ship cookie and a London fog and all were fantastic. I went in and bought a second cookie, I can't remember when I had a gluten free cookie that tasted so good. Fantastic atmosphere inside, very calm and quiet. Definitely recommend this place for hot drinks and a bite to eat

Lovely coffee shop / restaurant in a very quiet neighborhood. Great gluten-free options!
A neat little local operation. Great plant variety in the Spring and Summer. Food options change from time to time. The baked goods are excellent. They have a chocolate gluten free and dairy free cookie which is amazing!
Went here today for the first time with my wife, it’s an unconventional location. It’s kind of a strange area near a high school we went in and sat down at the table. We were served immediately, and the food was served promptly. Everything was very delicious very fresh. Everything is made from scratch. We went at lunchtime and there was a lot of kids from the high school that were stopping by and the owner knew every kid by name. It was impressive to see the kids were all very respectful towards the owner and he was respectful towards them. They have a lot of delicious homemade items available. I think there might be gluten-free options as well, everything was fresh and excellent. The prices are very fair and I would love to go back. A+

Cool suburban Cafe. Best coffee we have had outside of Melbourne. Great breakfast sandwich and bonus that they had good gluten free bread to go with it.
