![This very unassuming little spot hidden just a few blocks east of downtown was one of the best finds of my day. The service was warm and welcoming and fast and the food, at least the breakfast I had, was absolutely phenomenal. I had the Baked Eggs with organic swiss chard, caramelized onions, brie, potatoes, greens and toast. Done to perfection. I only hoped people sitting near me couldn't hear me muttering under my breath about how good it was. I highly recommend giving it try while visiting beautiful Victoria BC.
