Politano Cafe is my go-to spot in Brentwood Bay! The atmosphere is so inviting—cozy yet vibrant, with those big windows perfect for soaking in the local vibe. The baristas are super welcoming and clearly know their craft. Their lattes are consistently amazing, with just the right balance of bold coffee and creamy foam. Don’t even get me started on the milkshakes—they’re next-level delicious, with fun flavors that make every sip a treat! I also love their vegan pastries; they’re fresh, flavorful, and perfect with a coffee. It’s the kind of place where you can work, chat with friends, or just relax. A fantastic community hub that never disappoints—definitely check it out!

They have nice milkshakes I like the overall experience but don’t sit outside near the crosswalk because the ringtone doesn’t sound good.

Politano Cafe is a true gem in Brentwood Bay! From the moment you walk in, the cozy, urban vibe and warm atmosphere make you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and make every visit a delight. Their lattes are hands-down some of the best I’ve had—perfectly crafted with rich, smooth flavors. The signature milkshakes are a must-try; they’re indulgent, creative, and absolutely live up to their reputation as the best in Victoria! The vegan pastries are also a standout, always fresh and delicious. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee, catching up with friends, or just people-watching through their big windows, this place has it all. A fantastic community spot that I’ll keep coming back to—highly recommend!

Very charming little café with a wonderful selection of drinks and eats! The staff working during my visit were so genuinely friendly, and the drink I ordered was made quickly and with care. I loved having the choice of tea bag or stone ground tea for my london fog, which was delicious! I will definitely visit again when in the neighborhood!

Tried the stone ground London fog and it was the best! Better flavour and presentation compared to competitors!. Italian soda was also good with many flavours to choose from. Ice cream with espresso was nice. Cookies and cream milkshake was delicious. Highly recommend giving them a try!
