The Rebel Garage

A legendary character, great coffee and smooth rustic charm. We didn’t eat but if the rest of the ambience were food, it’s worth the trip. It’s behind Rebel Ink tattoo shop and has the same theme.

Not from Victoria and in need of coffee, found this little slice of caffeine! They are FRIENDLY! (helped put lids on my coffee because, we'll, I never finished a Rubik's cube) Even the customers are FRIENDLY! Really great atmosphere for a small place. The coffee is great! And seriously, I love the lids! #gohere

I'm constantly on the lookout for excellent local coffee and Rebel Garage is highly recommended. I loved the cozy atmosphere and the kind baristas. I didn't love that there weren't any vegan baked goods to purchase, alas. I think the owners have to be true to themselves in their food offerings but given that there are no treats that I would eat, I'll stick to my coffee at home rather than return.

Great option for evening hangs too though! So as long as you enjoy dairy, I would recommend Rebel. Otherwise, go elsewhere!

It's a local gem.

I thought is it a cafe or some event bar or a community meet up spot?
And I asked, apart from being a bar, this place is all of it.
I liked their atmosphere a lot.

I personally won't go for their latte + croissant (my favourite combo at any cafe. I sadly couldn't finish because it wasn't good), but I'd go for its vibe. I'll try drip coffee next time if they have.

Just in case.
[⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I'd travel between continents to come here again]
[⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- I'd make a plan to come here again]
[⭐️⭐️⭐️- I don't mind coming back if it's around me]
[⭐️⭐️-I won't come back]
[⭐️- I tell people not to go]

This cafe fell short of my expectations. The coffee was mediocre, the sweet options were limited, and the small size made the atmosphere feel cramped. Not recommended for a memorable experience.
