Cool new things are always popping up in Victoria. Here’s another little place I like for coffee (or tea, etc) – Hey Happy Coffee, 560 Johnson Street, Victoria BC.

We tried a new coffee bar yesterday called Shatterbox. I had read a great review of them on page 14 of the Spring issue of EAT Magazine. I thoroughly enjoyed their Dark and Spicy Hot Chocolate which was really sublime; the smell of cinnamon and then the rich creamy chocolate followed by the warm sensation of chili, all perfectly paired. And it was really hot (temperature); I’m less fond of lukewarm hot chocolate. GJ says his Americano was delicious, nice and strong, just as he ordered it. Shatterbox Coffee Bar is at 950 Yates Street, Victoria BC – right across from Harris Green Village.
950 Yates Street, between Vancouver and Quadra.
A small, but bright and airy space. Not much seating inside, but a nice patio.
All the shiny tools of the trade.
My gorgeous Dark and Spicy Hot Chocolate, so satisfying.
A nice strong Americano and a beautiful Mocha.
One of my favourite Victoria coffee establishments is Habit. Their newer location in the Atrium Building is nice and always busy, but I still love their original shop, just a couple blocks from us, on Pandora Avenue: great coffee and snacks, beautiful art on the walls, awesome selection of magazines to read and purchase, cozy windows seats from which to watch the city. Both locations offer an authentic local experience and dedication to their craft.

The hot chocolates and triple chocolate cookie are obvious in their deliciousness, but don’t be fooled by the plain look of that muffin: lemon, lavender and wild blueberry – just divine!
