Night service and a great variety of delicious gluten-free things!

This place is unreal! One of the best breakfasts of my life. Begging for y’all to open a location in LA. Objectively delicious breakfast. Plus perfect for my gluten and dairy free needs. I’m still thinking about that hollandaise. Kind staff. Good vibes. Went back the next day it was so good. If I lived in Victoria I would eat here once a week at least. Wish I could give more stars. NEVER CLOSE I BEG.

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.

My Gypsy Tale

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

Charlie Price

Great Brunch. Excellent for allergies and dietary restrictions as well (Celiac).

Justine Brennick

Incredible breakfast, especially for a gluten free meal

Karena Holtz

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.

Gluten free biscuits are to die for if you have the itch of a place you should go. Also their specials when ever I have been have always just hit the spot

Karen Ethier

Delicious sandwiches and gluten free options as well! Highly recommend!

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.

Such a cute cozy spot, very fitting of the name. I got a chocolate ice cream sandwich. Seems like most if not all of their items are dairy free unless otherwise stated, which is amazing. The ice cream sandwich was dairy and gluten free but it did not taste that way at all, it was so smooth, creamy, and the cookie was like a smooth brownie.

Abby Loach

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.

Emme Abbs

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!

Irina Kunic

AMAZING gluten free options. the blueberry scone is so good. would recommend if you’re looking for a quick GF breakfast, service was great too! :)

Shawn O'Hara

Excellent food and snacks. Gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. Recommend the All Day Bowl.

Jenny Lee

Delicious breakfast- sandwich, gluten free! Will definitely be back!

Janet Delgatty

Best gluten free eggs Benedict that I've had in decades.

Dibs !

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

Quill Cooper

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.

Noreen Light

Gluten-free delights! Peanut butter chutzpahs are delicious. GF pizza, by the slice. GF brownies. Coffee was so-so.

Tara Matei

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.

Glen Pinder

Thank you for having gluten free options.

Linda Marie

Great coffee! I appreciate that their gluten free items are clearly marked.

Raven Rei

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.

Zana L'Huge

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.

Connor Bates

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

Clive Dawson

Lovely coffee shop / restaurant in a very quiet neighborhood. Great gluten-free options!

Shawn O'Hara

Pleasant staff, good location, indoor and outdoor seating. Accessible. Gluten free options.

Roy Bradfield

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!

Brent Vermette

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+ Recommend

Jineane Koester

Very fast and accommodating. Wonderful surprise of a gluten-free donut, didn't know that existed! Was a very nice compliment to a perfect coconut milk latte.

Paul Ness

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.

Karen Solomon

Love the gluten free crullers at Discovery! Thank you! The music too!

Roscoe McLean

Really outstanding food. Their gluten-free options were a nice surprise for my dining partner.

Ishita Rai

Best chocolate chip cookies in town! They have gluten free options and their paninis are to die for!

Cayla Naumann

The food here is exceptional. A great variety of dietary options (including vegan, dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian and good ol' carnivores). Nice variety of desserts, sides and daily menu updates. The service is fast and friendly too. Highly recommend if you're in the area looking for a high quality, family run business who cares about quality at affordable prices. They put effort into zero waste and environmentally friendly options like 'bring your own container'.

Holly Conklin

Super friendly and accommodating, with good food. Plenty of gluten-free meal options.
