Never be without good coffee again. Pair that with a doughnut, and the start of your day is...well...what more can be said. Their doughnuts are made from scratch every morning at this local hangout - Discovery Bakery, in James Bay. Yum.

One of my favourite restaurants :) A full-service, modern dining experience serving organic, local, plant-based cuisine that is as delicious as it is nourishing and energizing. The food is complimented by an all-organic and natural wine list, superfood cocktails, fresh juices, smoothies, and elixirs. The food is wheat, dairy, gluten, and processed sugar-free, and the ingredients are almost completely organic .

Victoria BC’s oldest grocery store, updated! The corner grocery is alive and well in James Bay. This is a place where you can buy local produce, daily bread, artisan cheese & sausage, and pick up a house-roasted coffee to go. Be an early bird if you are looking for a magnificent, unique Empire doughnut with your coffee.
