Great cafe, well-set up for working or studying. Not too busy, lots of tables, and most tables have outlets. Centrally located. Friendly staff. Chocolate chunk cookie with sea salt is phenomenal.

Lovely cafe in James Bay. Lots of seating, quiet, not too busy. Friendly staff. They have a large "community table" for working/longer stays.

Surprisingly great place to work from in downtown Victoria. There are lots of tables, and it's not too busy. Prices are very reasonable, about 30% lower than most other coffee and tea places around. It is quiet and not too busy. Usually at least a couple people working on laptops.

Coffee shop with good coffee and free Wifi. Quiet in the morning, can get busy later in the day. Not a lot of seating - a few smaller and larger tables. Staff are very friendly.

Cool, large cafe in Cook St Village. Decent amount of indoor seating with tables as well as a large patio there are usually at least a couple people working on laptops. Friendly environment but can get busy at certain hours of the day.

Large public library with two floors. Many large desks with outlets available on the second floor, as well as dozens of smaller desks with ergonomic chairs. Lots of natural lighting from large windows. Very quiet.

Coffee shop/seating area in a large Whole Foods Market. Surprisingly a good place to get a couple hours of work done. Lots of tables, mostly empty, very quiet especially in the morning and evening. Usually a few people working and studying. Almost all tables and benches have electrical outlets. Staff are friendly and don't care how long you stay. Also, coffee and pastries are at least $2-3 cheaper than nearby coffee shops (Starbucks etc).

Quiet cafe with a cute cat theme. Large tables as well as bar-style seating. Usually not busy.

Public space in a larger building. Stunning architecture. NO PUBLIC WIFI. Coffee available in nearby cafés. Quiet space, free to enter.

This is a normal Starbucks, but with a huge seating area. It is attached to the lobby of the Hilton Doubletree hotel. Not busy at all on the three weekdays I worked there, at different times of day. A good mix of seating options: large tables with chairs, smaller tables, bar-style seating, and leatherback chairs. Also has an outdoor patio area with many tables. Lots of power sockets. Huge glass windows on all sides. The staff don't seem to mind people staying for many hours and working.

Small busy cafe with minimal seating available. A few people working on laptops but too small and busy to realistically work from. They have pastries etc. but not other food. Coffee is good.

Cafe at the end of the harbour walkway with lots of seating and a wide variety of food items. Usually quiet and not busy. Staff are friendly.

Stylish centrally located cafe popular with remote workers and students. Fantastic coffee.

Great coffee, so I wanted to like this place. Unfortunately the Wifi was spotty at best and stopped working altogether several times. They do hand out little pieces of paper with the Wifi password asking people to limit laptop time to 60 minutes. Also was quite busy, had loud music playing and had many families with small children, teenagers socializing, etc. Not an ideal workspace, but still a good coffee.
