“ We often walk to the Nest for coffee as it is perfect distance from our house. The location next to the Galloping Goose makes it perfect for us. The staff is always friendly even when we come with a larger group for our Camino walking group. No problem recommending this cafe. ”
“ Nest Cafe - Coffee Shop. I was just at the soft opening of The Nest Cafe Coffee Shop on Monday. It's FANTASIC! Coffee is great, staff is bubbling with enthusiasm, and the food and treats are simply AMAZING! If you are a cyclist, you'll be able to safely pull off the Galloping Goose for a Pit Stop and lock up your bike on the many bike racks available. I've included pics of the Delicious Menu items. Enjoy!!! PS: I was there on Monday, Tuesday, and will be back today again! ”

“ Good food and coffee in an excellent location of the Galloping Goose trail. Lots of seating outdoors on two levels, scattered around the property. Lots of space for securing bikes on both levels, including plenty of bike parking in the parking lot off Burnside Road. On the upper level outdoor patio, and inside at some tables, there is electricity for laptops.and recharging devices, though bring your USB plug adapter. ”
“ Attention coffee lovers: I stopped by this place today for an Americano, but decided to treat myself to a double espresso shot just to see what their coffee tastes like in its purest form—and wow. As someone who loves coffee, has pulled countless espresso shots at home, and tried espresso all over Victoria (and the world), I can honestly say this was one of the best I’ve ever had. Smooth. Tasty. No bitterness, just pure espresso bliss. If you're serious about coffee or just want to taste the difference, this spot is a must. The staff were awesome, the vibe is great, and yeah, you might spend a buck or two more than you would at Tim Hortons—but trust me, it’s worth every penny. ”
