solstice café came about as the fulfillment of a dream and as such embodies the spirit of its creator, david cardinal. david chooses to sell only organic, fair-trade coffee and tea, made with organic sugar, chocolate, dairy and soy milk and light lunches and snacks made with organic and/or locally grown and produced foods; in making these choices david strives to help protect the environment and stimulate growth on the island.
the cafe is also being used to showcase local musical talent, improv theatre, poetry readings and as a space for philosophy cafe. the walls of the cafe are used as a gallery to display the works of local photographers both amateur and professional.
come in, relax and help us change the world for the better, one coffee at a time!

Solstice Festival for the Folk is a community based music festival nestled in the heart of downtown Victoria's historic Market Square. It was conceived for a twofold purpose in the spring of 2007: to fill the void left behind by Victoria FolkFest's demise, and to help build and nurture community through music and art. With a variety of acts, both young and experienced alike, encompassing a variety of musical styles, Solstice Festival for the Folk aims to bring some of the best Victoria has to offer, as well as a few of our neighboring communities. Now heading towards it's 3rd year, this festival will continue to grow and improve watch for details later in the winter. The entire festival takes place @ solstice cafe in June, and is something all Victorians can look forward to.
