About This Place

Located in the heart of Victoria, BC, Discovery Coffee is more than just a coffee shop – it's a haven for coffee aficionados and sweet treat lovers alike. Nestled at 664 Discovery St, this charming café elevates the everyday coffee experience by offering an expertly crafted menu alongside a cozy, inviting atmosphere that pulls you in from the moment you step through the door.

What sets Discovery Coffee apart is their exceptional focus on quality and variety. Their Nitro Cold Brew, a standout on the menu, delivers a smooth yet robust nitrogen-infused coffee experience that one customer described as unlike anything they'd tasted before—even compared to large city roasters. Whether you're a fan of classic espresso-based drinks like the velvety Cortado, the aromatic London Fog, or a rich Mocha with deep chocolate flavor, Discovery Coffee masterfully balances strength and finesse in every cup.

Don’t miss their delightful selection of doughnuts, featuring unique and crowd-pleasing varieties such as the airy and soft Honey Cruller, reminiscent of the nostalgic Tim Hortons originals, and the flourless Chocolate Cruller ideal for those with dietary preferences. Their creative lineup also includes the Coffee Glazed Donut, Pride Donut, Earl Grey Doughnut, and the Raspberry Jam Filled delight – perfect companions to your coffee.

The ambiance here deserves special mention. Customers often note the warm, welcoming vibe combined with comfortable seating that invites you to linger—whether for a quiet morning read or a casual chat with friends. The additional cozy space next door enhances this sense of community, making Discovery Coffee an ideal retreat within the vibrant cityscape. The little touches, such as elevated latte art and the option to enjoy a scone alongside your cappuccino, create moments that feel thoughtfully crafted and authentically local.

Families also appreciate the convenience of a little park and playground just across the street, making it easier for parents to relax while little ones play. This connection to community and attention to detail in all aspects – from the rich, aromatic coffee to the tender, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts – truly elevates Discovery Coffee from a simple stop for caffeine to a cherished destination.

Whether you're a dedicated coffee connoisseur, a lover of artisanal doughnuts, or simply seeking a cozy nook with great vibes and exceptional drinks, Discovery Coffee in Victoria delivers an experience that lingers warmly in your memory, beckoning you to return again and again.

    I think I just had the perfect nitro cold brew for the first time. The nitrogen in their coffee was strong and smooth in a way I had never felt before, in spite of countless coffee roasters/shops I have visited in megacities. Also, the affecting ambience reminded me of the one I expected Stumptown Coffee to be before visiting Stumptown. This place is a truly wonderful place to go to have coffee whether you are a visitor or a resident.

    Lovely atmosphere and interior, great coffee. Donuts and muffins available for nibbles, and a lovely little park and playground across the road for little ones.

    We're lucky in Victoria to have so many options for really great coffee. Discovery is one of the best. The Discovery street location has an additional cozy space next door to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in a comfy chair. Don't miss out on the Yonnie's doughnuts. They are not cake donuts and man they're tasty.

    The mocha here is very good. It has a good espresso taste and aroma but most of all a reach chocolate flavor instead of the ratio stuff that Starbucks uses. However the star of the shop is the Yonni Donuts Honey Cruller. It’s so airy and big and soft as the original Tim Hortons, when they used to make them in the stores. Not the American bought save money by making them in a factory and sending them not fresh to the store. This place rocks with its atmosphere and vibe.

    This is a cozy coffee shop! It’s an excellent place to grab some coffee or tea with some of their unique doughnuts We ordered a flat white and a London Fog and they were both delicious. We were so delighted. We got the coffee-glazed and the wheat-free Chocolate Cruller. OMG! They were both so good and satisfied our sweet tooth! Love the vibes! High-five to the barista for his elevated latte art. The staff provided tip-top service! Highly recommend
