Habitat Cafe - Victoria

If you have a gluten allergy, be prepared to pay a premium. The restaurant often overcharges for gluten-free options and rarely has pre-prepared options available. Their "coffee mug discount" is only 10 cents, and if you want to take a paper cup without purchasing a beverage, it will cost you 50 cents. The justification for this price difference is unclear.

The Habitat Cafe provides a range of tasty options for students, faculty, and the general public. There is plenty of comfortable seating with great views of the outdoors. Today, I tried the delectable vegetarian miso ramen soup, which was absolutely delicious.

Located inside Royal Roads University, this is a warm ambient cafe for anyone looking to grab a meal or a hot cup of coffee. The staffs are friendly, and always carry a smile. Recommended: Burgers, Coffee of your choice.

Quite a handy little stop with simple but good home cooked food and friendly service. I was skeptical and we searched for decent breakfast options on our drive her from Victoria, but finding none, we arrived at the Habitat Cafe with low expectations and empty bellies which were exceeded and filled, respectively. It is a simple college cafeteria atmosphere, so don’t come here expecting fine dining. The menu was varied, the food fresh and well prepared, and the prices very reasonable. We sat at a corner table with a view over the fields and strait and Olympic mountains, and had the entire place to ourselves. Next time I won’t bother looking for other options on my drive in from Victoria. The nearby gardens are lovely and we spent the better pet of two hours exploring the college grounds after breakfast.

This restaurant is a cut above the typical campus cafeterias and cafes. It was clean, had plenty of seating, a wide selection of options including beer, and the food was delicious. They also offered pitcher pricing, making it a great spot to gather with friends and enjoy the sunny, inviting atmosphere.
