Parsonage Cafe

Parsonage Cafe and Fernwood Coffee Company are quite similar and synonymous and honestly I have had great experiences here. I enjoy the variety of drinks that they serve here and the food is great, too! I am thankful that this cafe exists!!

Great food, atmosphere, coffee, and people. I recommend the lox bagel and breakfast bagel with all the toppings cut in half.

Every month or so I meet up with my fabulous friend for a catch up and some nice lunch. We always go to the Parsonage Cafe. Sometimes I get their breakfast bagel (how can a bagel with cheese and bacon with egg and tomato be so delicious?!), but I always get a flat white coffee. Today I went nuts and had their BLT sandwich with an egg and a cappuccino with skim milk. Their coffee is from the Fernwood Coffee Company). Both were delicious. There was a big line up - right out the door - and that is normal for this spot. It's extremely popular. So, we decided to order online and wait for a text to pick up our lunches around the back. It took me a while - kind of embarrassing tbh - I just couldn't get the site to accept my credit card. But it finally worked and then we were able to get on with the excitement of the sandwich (and my friend's blueberry muffin). My sandwich was absolutely delicious - I ordered it with no butter, and the bacon was from local butcher, Slater's. It came with arugula and the whole wheat bread was nicely toasted. I love that they serve these sandwiches with some chips - just enough to keep it interesting. Well done yet again, Parsonage. We'll be back next month!

Went on a Sunday morning around 9am. Very busy so you can tell it's good! Coffee was really quality. I had the Africano and if you like coffee, you don't need any flavors, the coffee and a little cream is all you need. We ordered food to go and had to wait a bit since the kitchen was slammed as it's a popular brunch place but would definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

I find the Lox on Bagel very tasty but the casual furniture awkward. If you wish to eat, take a booth.

A relaxing stop with excellent food and drinks anytime we need to unwind for an hour. The breakfast sandwiches are wonderful.

They gave me a free macchiato, and hella Ya I love a macchiato!!!! The bagels are psycho. They need to be in the hospital rn, you feel me?

The BEST bagel sandwiches I have ever had. Just perfect with egg&melted cheese. Nice place to chat with friends or just talk to people around. If in a hurry I just order ahead. Also, this is wonderful place with small kids Sinc the staff are great.

This is a great little cafe just slightly off the beaten path. Home of their own roastery and kitchen and literally steps away from Mount Royal Bagel, you are guaranteed a fresh, delicious, made to order (for the most part) experience. I'm a huge fan of the breakfast bagel with bacon though I saw a girl eating a grilled sticky bun that makes me think I have many more delicious foods to try here in my future. The staff is friendly, no elitist coffee snobbery here, thank god! You can also pick up on-site roasted beans to take home if you'd like. So, all in all, good real food paired with great service and a damn fine americano is why I come back:)

This here is a solid, true-blue, neighbourhood cafe. Bustling energy, cozy vibe, & most importantly, a decent espresso. Dig it.

My wife "dragged" me here a few times and it quickly became a place I requested. Excellent coffee, perhaps even better breakfast bagels and today I discovered that their sandwiches (a veggie in my case but they all look great) are exceptional. Great ingredients combined into deliciousness. Oh, and the staff are super - friendly. :D

This is a place for people who liked good coffee. The coffee is fresh and the service is excellent. I ordered two pour over coffees and told the barista what types of coffee I like. Despite not having a Kenyan coffee (which is what I requested) available at the counter, he went to the back (where they roast the coffee) and found what I had asked for. He then prepared two fresh cups for me. The coffee was good. Not the absolute best I have ever had, but it is much better than you could ever get at a large coffee chain. Give it a shot - you won't be disappointed.

Best breakfast bagel! We'd been meaning to visit for AGES and are so sad that we waited so long. The perfect Mount Royal Bagels plus perfect combo of egg, cheese, spinach, and bacon made the best best best breakfast sandwich. Bustling, comfortable, and home to Fernwood coffee, this spot is on my 'must visit' list for Victoria.

This is easily my favourite place to be when out in Victoria. Very cool atmosphere, awesome staff that remember your name, best coffee in town, and amazing food (their breakfast sandwich is tops!). If I could find a fault with it, it might be that it's very "cozy", especially on weekend mornings. But I like to consider that as part of its charm.

Really like the coffee here. Food is so good but since going off gluten I can't enjoy their amazing breakfast bagel :(

Nicely crafted food and bevs. A little high on the trendometer tho.

I'm so so so glad I work and live right by here. The Americanos just make me happy and I really enjoy having a croissant sandwich when I'm feeling peckish. And the people that work here are rad. And the blueberry muffins are great. Thanks for making my neighbourhood more awesome.

I love this place! It is small, funky and cool. All the things I like in a cafe. The food and coffee are great. The staff are awesome: hip and friendly. I have been coming to this cafe for over 20 years and have seen it go through several incarnations. Right now it is the best it has ever been. If anything it is suffering from its success. There is huge demand for the limited seating. Fortunately, this is such a friendly place people often share a booth. Great food, awesome coffee, funky atmosphere and you just might meet someone new as you share a table. Who could ask for more?
