A locally owned and operated family of cafes in Victoria's Old Town, and Business districts. Our mission is to provide Victoria with superior coffee and Italian influenced breakfast & lunch fare in an inviting contemporary environment. Our coffees are sourced from one of the regions longest running family roasters, Caffe Umbria.

Old world meets new in classic, authentic flavours and contemporary inspirations. A local favourite. Macchiato has been elected one of Victoria's top ten places for lunch.

The food is good, however not always a huge selection.
The drinks on the other hand are the best in town! I've tried many drinks on their huge drink menu and all of them have been amazing.
The service is always great and fast, especially during the pandemic. The baristas definitely know what their doing!

It's excellent coffee and what I really like is that you can choose to have it made Euro style, just as it would be made in Italy. That means my cappuccino doesn't get diluted with a ridiculous amount of milk. They also serve a wide variety of snacks and nibbles to go with your drinks. My only complaint is that the place gets too crowded. It's too popular!

We enjoyed visiting this coffee shop as they have a little bit of everything. The food was very good, London fog latte was delicious and regular latte was great as well. We were a very happy and well fed family of four that was able to sit and have a quick bite before moving on to our next activity for the day. The staff was very nice too! Highly recommend.

There has been more business done and more friendships supported here than almost any other place in Victoria.
I hesitate to write a positive review as it can be a challenge to get a seat during typical coffee break time, but worth the hat tip to years of good service.
The place is bright, clean, cheery and upbeat. It can be cozy in the winter and in the summer, the patio/sidewalk seating is always good.
The coffee and food is always good and fresh. It isn't overly high priced, but not inexpensive either. The food options are always tasty and slightly more upscale than many similar places.

I came in here for a coffee meeting the other day and it was absolutely lovely! I am notorious for making bad jokes and interacting with staff more than most people wherever I go, so when I get quips and jokes right back? Love it!
I had an iced americano and their pecan tart (mmmm) which were both super good. I had my americano black and I must say, it doesn't need anything else! A strong, bitter taste from the first sip but after that, the little bit of ice that melts throughout makes it plenty smooth and gets rid of the need for milk. The tart? Ohhh boy, was that ever good. I love tarts

Located across from a public parking structure and a block from the Bay Centre, this sophisticated but casual neighborhood cafe serves up some strong espresso and tasty baked snacks. Free password protected wifi, small indoor and outdoor sitting areas, and reasonably-priced drinks relative to the quality. Their premium callebaut mocha was strong and enjoyable, as was their date bar. If there were more places like this, there would be no reason to visit franchised generic coffee shops.

Hands down best Green Tea Matcha Latté I've ever EVER tried. Insanely rich and delicious, enhanced only by the skilled baristas and not by any fake syrups or unnecessary add-ins. Cool, contemporary shop with the only downfall being the sparse seating around the perimeter. Customers were definitely eyeing for any available tables but as soon as you get one, you're golden! Expensive lattés ($4.75 for the matcha, most others ring in at $4.25), but for a great bevy and a good atmosphere, I'm happy to pay! Unfortunately no stevia available (only Splenda as a sugar alternative), but

I love Macchiatto, on my way to work each morning I stop in and get an americano. I am a huge fan of their coffee, it's always fresh and fast service.
I've been there for lunch, grabbing a salad or snack and I've always really enjoyed what I've had. They've got a couple tables which also make it a good place if you need to have a coffee time meeting, which I've done.
All in all, I'm a big fan!

**12/1/10 Update: I found out why I got stares when ordering the regular sized Americano with an extra shot -- it already comes with 4 tall shots (6-8 regular sized shots) in it**
Ran across the street on a dreary (and very wet) mid-November day in Victoria. Ended up getting the small-sized Americano with an extra shot. Flavor of espresso is excellent here. Can you say BA-ZING -- I am wide awake right now.
Co-worker picked up a tea off of their unique tea "menu". Display of sandwiches and cold salads is very appealing as well meriting a future visit for lunch.
