Book Store Vlog and Best Coffee Alternative in Victoria B.C. - Vlog 101

About

This week I am going to take you to my favourite bookstore and my favourite cafe in Victoria BC. As a non-coffee drinker I am looking for fabulous coffee alternatives when I go to a cafe as well as a comfortable sit down experience. As for bookstores, I do own a kindle, so I am also looking for an incredible in-store experience as well as books that work better in a hard-copy format than in electric format. I do feel that many yoga books as well as poetry books (which I love) and cookbooks fit that bill.

My favourite bookstore in Victoria BC is Munro’s books. The in store experience is incredible. It is an old heritage building with lots of character. You can hear the wood floor creak when you talk on it. The shelves are made of wood and the ceilings are high. The bookstore was originally owned by Alice Munro, yes the author Alice Munro. Alice Munro is a critically acclaimed Canadian short-story writer who won the Man Booker International Prize in 2009 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. In 2014 the Alice and her husband Jim retired and turned ownership of the store over to 4 longtime staff members.

My favourite place to go for a coffee alternative with friends in Victoria is Nourish. Most people know nourish for it’s seasonal, organic, vegan, dairy free and farm to table delicious food. But did you know they have a cafe too? For those of us locals looking for a place to have a delicious healthy coffee alternative Nourish is my place of choice. I love the lounge upstairs for hanging out with friends over a cup of bone broth, matcha, tumeric latte, chai latte, dandy blend latte, or london fog. There are so many choices. In the summer you can sit on their outdoor patio under umbrellas.
