Quaint little Cafe that specializes in biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were nicely done. Though the gravy seemed to be underseasoned. Sadly my eggs were way way overcooked. Still, I'd like to try out other items eventually next visit.

I love the location of this little breakfast joint. They are located in old China Town and there is a lot of history in this building. There are photographs and write-ups behind plexiglass in the covered walk paths from one side of the courtyard to the next explaining the history of this area.The architecture is fascinating as well.This eatery is walk to the counter, order and pay first...then sit and they bring your food to you. We ordered the gluten free biscuits and gravy and requested extra care, as this food choice is allergy induced, not a lifestyle for us.They were great about asking clarifying questions and I felt confident they understood our needs.We both had waters and I appreciated that they left a bottle with us to refill ourselves, as I drink a lot of water. My husband had chai and I had a london fog. My London Fog was delicious and probably in the top two or three I've ever had.The biscuits and gravy were on the small side, but filling. If you have a big appetite, I suggest a double order or get a side or oatmeal or something to go with it. The gravy was a vegan, mushroom gravy and was a touch too salty for me, but otherwise good. The biscuits are typical gluten free...sandy more than soft like a biscuit could be. I can make them at home that way, but home was a long ways away while we were here, so I'm happy to have the choice. Unfortunately, for someone allergic to gluten and eggs, there is little else to be had on the island that I found.The cafe interior is cute, with multiple small seating areas. The washroom is tiny, but efficient and ungendered.

I absolutely loved this place! It has become one of my favourite brunch spots in Victoria. The food is simply delicious, especially their specialty biscuits and homemade sausage - definitely worth trying! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, which adds to the relaxed and cozy atmosphere of the place. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an amazing brunch experience.

We have been going since it opened and it's still one of our favorites. The biscuits are just heavenly and rivals the best of down south. The place was busy, but we did not have to wait long for a table.This time we arrived at lunchtime so I tried something different. Clam chowder soup which came with a biscuit. The soup had a lovely flavour and was neither too creamy or too runny. There were also plenty of clams and again well recommended. My partner had the breakfast sandwich which was also packed full of flavour from the bacon, cheese and egg.We tried the lemon biscuit with cream and found it an amazing dessert. We will try making that ourselves although it may not be as good.Our dessert order was ordered wrong but the owner fixed it quickly. He also was very friendly and helpful as usual.The drumroaster coffee is probably my favorite and did not disappoint this time either.Well recommended.

Unequivocally the BEST breakfast/lunch spot in the city. If its your first time in Victoria, or have never been here as a Victorian, you HAVE to eat here.The very fact people willingly choose to dine elsewhere has lowered the respect I had for my fellow man.Seriously.

Very comfortable and homey with friendly servers. My wife thinks of herself as an expert on biscuits and gravy and said these were the best she’s ever had. My omelette and hash browns were excellent and well prepared.

Love this place!! Definitely one of my favourite places to have brunch. Food is always delicious! They specialize in making the best biscuits. Worth trying!!It looks like a family run business as I see the same people working there. And they are the nicest people!Overall, whenever I come to Shanzee’s I have this feeling of being at home.

Yesterday morning I stopped by here to pick up a couple orders for door dash but upon walking in the door my nose was filled by all the delicious smells. I couldn’t help myself but to stare at all the baked good they had and settled on the carrot cake. It was absolutely perfect! Taste, consistency, ingredients and the icing! I will certainly be back to try more from their menu soon!
