Summer all food, fun and drink marathon - Vote for your favorite cafe · Wednesday July 2, 2008 by colin newell
When you are sitting in one of Victoria B.C.‘s many fine cafes, you cannot help but notice the very hipness of the scene here. We are, arguably, in the middle of a rennaisance in cafe culture and Victoria is a leader in style and overall quality – comparable to Seattle, Vancouver and Portland, Oregon – 3 important intellectual leaders in the coffeehouse happening.
So, there is lots to pick from in this city.
But if you are a fan of the coffee scene in Victoria, which one really appeals to you above all others?
Another good question is: Are your coffee needs being served here? Although we have all kinds of java joints, seemingly something for everyone – it is entirely possible that something is missing. If so, let us know.
In the meantime, pop over here and take our feature poll.
Conversely, you can blip us in the comment fields below.
Thanks!
Short-Take: Portland’s Coffee Central
My favourite coffee joint — Solstice Cafe — is not on the list and nor is there an “other” category. :(

I’m feeling so left out, but how ‘bout Rebecca’s in (South Park) San
Diego. Or Twiggs in (University Heights) San Diego. I know not a real coffee up there in the cool trees city, but both are welcoming, good to great coffee, service, and atmosphere. Oh, shucks, not in Victoria, darn.

I am not counting Esquimalt or Oak Bay or Cowichan or Duncan during this phase of the polling – The next Poll will be Vancouver Island… and then… well, you will have to wait and see!
