Stopped here recently on a beautiful, sunny day with my wife and toddler. We enjoyed our drinks and eats in the patio. What a perfect location for a cafe. The staff were so very generous and made us feel like we were longtime customers. Nice branding and general aesthetic. Intriguing menu items. Looking forward to returning and trying more! Go on and try this place out!

Not a dessert guy, but the frozen ice cream with blended-in peach, grapes, dried rose petals, and a few other things was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. They make it with an interesting-looking machine from New Zealand. Worth a destination trip on its own. Cool spot out in Esquimalt by the marina.

Super cute little place that I just found scrolling through Google maps and decided to check out! Got the sea turtle latte which tasted amazing and a salted banana chocolate muffin. Personally I found the salt on top of the muffin a bit too much and it took away from the other flavours for me, so I’d probably default to getting something without salt next time, but the texture and flavour of the muffin were still delicious and I very much enjoyed it! It’s got a lovely seating area outside that we sat on and it was nice to enjoy the sunshine and sip on some coffee. Looking forward to coming back to try some of their more unique drinks and some of their food options!

I absolutely love the Marina Bay Toast, the Salted Rose Mocha and the Pistachio Silvana— They are incredibly delicious! The owners are so kind and welcoming, which makes every visit a joy. I also love that they have outdoor seating and are pet-friendly, making it a perfect spot to relax with friends (two- or four-legged!). Definitely a gem worth visiting!

Marina Bay Café has opened a beautiful new location with stunning sea views and a touch of nature all around. Here's what I experienced . I ordered their signature toast - a perfectly crisp slice of artisan bread topped with smoked salmon, arugula, thinly sliced ​​red onion, cucumber, and creamy avocado spread. Finished with everything bagel seasoning and what looked like dried rose petals or edible flowers… it was as delicious as it was beautiful. Yum! The coffee? Smooth, rich, and comforting — I’ll definitely be coming back just for that. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the people working there are genuinely kind-hearted. Thank you for such a warm experience.

I was so excited to find Espresso Orange on the menu here! I used to drink it back home and hadn’t seen it anywhere in Victoria until now. It brought back such great memories — the combination of citrus and espresso is just perfect. I highly recommend everyone give it a try! The service was amazing — the staff were so kind and attentive. And the interior is absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully themed. Such a cozy and inspiring space to enjoy your coffee. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Such a hidden gem cafe in a quiet neighbourhood :) Loved their Marina Bay Latte and Classic Avocado Toast! The owner and the staff are super sweet. Kid/pet friendly with a patio outside - highly recommended to everyone!

This delightful cafe is my weekend go to. I've had several breakfasts, brunches, snacks and coffees there. There is a good selection of GF options. While indoors has limited there are quite a few dog friendly spots on the patio. The staff are very friendly. I have even learned to sign thank you.
