Eight Ounce Coffee

Good coffee takes time to brew, which is what a lot of people fail to take into consideration when reviewing coffee shops. This isn’t Tim Hortons, you’re not going to have some coffee slung at you on the fly.

That being said, that was the best damn mocha I’ve ever had.

I remember Wes and his team building up this place 10+ years ago and worked with them in a business capacity. Amazing passion and dedication to everything. Even though I moved to Victoria 8 years ago….. Anytime I need anything coffee, my first look is always to 8 oz coffee. They’ve got a fantastic selection of top-notch products, and I know that I would be well looked after if I had any questions or comments or concerns. Whether you’re looking for brewing equipment, serveware, or an amazing selection of beans from renowned roasters from across North America or Europe…this is your place!!

I’ve shopped in store on a weekend before Christmas and a weekday in January. Different energy levels and time spent each time, but still a great experience. I was assisted by Felipe, who seemed more concerned than we were that we would get the most value out of our purchases.

The experience with our in-store purchases gave me the confidence to follow up with two large online purchases—one for our professional group and one for my extended family members. We’ve made excellent decisions, finding what would really improve our coffee experience and avoided purchases that seemed fun, but didn’t suit our needs or style. Knowledge is power.

I’ve never visited the storefront, but have ordered from their online shop before. The variety and quality of products and coffee beans they carry is great. Even better is the shipping is FAST. I don’t know how they did it, but my product shipped from Canada 1700 miles away from me and was delivered to my door in 27 hours. The price was no more expensive than if I had bought directly from the manufacturer either so for the shipping alone I will likely purchase from them again.

EDIT: Unfortunately, I have to bump this down to a 1-star review ): I had emailed the service team (after being asked to give more clarification) and they still haven’t gotten back to me after a week of reaching out. Would love to support Eight Ounce because they carry interesting coffee, but I think I’ll support the roasters directly instead!

Definitely have a mixed review. Loved interacting with David – he was so friendly and knowledgeable, super excited for his future plans! Thanks for the amazing coffee!

Service team was okay – definitely spent 15-20-ish minutes waiting to pick up some gear, and the coffee I picked up is 6 weeks past the roast date, which isn’t super great. Would love it if you had one additional person on the show room floor and gave coffee within the 3 weeks past roast date!
