Beautiful coffee shop! Delicious nitro mocha for a seasonal offering. The espresso was tasty brewed with a Slayer. The space was airy and clean, blending historic vibes with modernity. The service was helpful and cheery as well. The branding was on point. Every detail was considered! I’m excited to brew the two bags of beans I picked up. Well worth a visit!

They have two locations, and while both are great, this one wins for the view. On a sunny day, the cafe overlooks Elgin, and the sunlight pours through the large windows, filling the space with a warm glow. The high ceilings and thoughtfully designed interior add to the charm, and the drinks are consistently solid. I tried the iced Americano and matcha latte, both were great but I really recommend the espresso tonic. It gets pretty busy when the weather’s nice, but it’s absolutely worth it.

I’ve been to this cafe twice and spent quality time with friends, enjoying our coffees and the view. However, it gets really crowded! You might even need to wait to find a seat, even if it’s not at a table.

Little Victories "only" being rated a 4.5/5 does not do this place justice - it's a strong 5/5. Gia, Ellie, and Anna were working when I went in, with Gia making me a pour over while having a great conversation about coffee, their practices, favorite beans, and other local spots. She was a great ambassador for both Ottawa and coffee. The strong focus on high-quality coffee and consistent practices turned into one of the best pour overs I've ever had. I travel for coffee and have had some of the best in the world - Little Victories stands up in this respect. They're also extremely hospitable and engaging. Based on our conversations about coffee, styles, beans, etc. Gia asked Ellie to pull a shot of their espresso for me - an unexpected but welcome gesture. They use either a 2 or 3-group Slayer machine, one of the best machines available, and with Ellie at the helm, it churned out a fantastic shot of espresso, served appropriately with sparkling water. Anna searched up-and-down for shirts and specific mugs for me to purchase, making great conversation and suggestions along the way. Just as knowledgeable as everyone else behind the counter. All the while, these three were taking care of a ton of other guests, churning out both espresso-based drinks and pour overs, taking care of each guest and each drink like they were the only ones in the shop. If you find yourself in Ottawa, go see the folks at Little Victories Coffee. And if you're lucky enough to get Gia, Ellie, or Anna - even better. Amazing, amazing experience. Thanks!
