I had lunch here yesterday and it was excellent in all regards. You can see how nice it was by checking out the pic. Service was excellent. And then I splurged and got a cinnamon roll, which, too, was delicious. Def recommend.
This place was recommended by Yelper C. She said the coffee here is really good. B is a coffee guy and so we did get a regular coffee for him to try and he said it was good. I got the Basted Baker Hash with Salmon added to it. B got the beef roll. B said the beef roll was super tasty and flavorful. I really liked my Based Baker Hash. It was a very big bowl with potato hash, spinach, onion, mushroom, pepper, avocado, salmon and a poach egg. The place makes its own ketchup in house. They also sell their ketchup in a bottle for take home. The restaurant looks small but they do have a patio area in the back. Plenty of free parking on the street or at the back.
Love this family-run spot! The coffee at Basted Baker is amazing, and the food is just as good. I especially appreciate that they have half-portion options available on the menu--it is so rare to find a place that offers that flexibility! The atmosphere is super nice, cozy, and welcoming. Excellent service and great vibes all around. Will definitely be a regular here!
Quick service, yummy carrot cake, great brekkie options in a casual cafe setting. Sweet or savoury, basted baker's got your back. Ordered the pulled pork benny and carrot cake. Benny butter biscuit was delish, but pulled pork and the sauce was a bit too heavy on the sour notes (bbq flavours) for my liking. Poached eggs without sauce had a noticeable hint of vinegar as well, but reasonable enough considering the nice texture of eggs. Carrot cake was a perfect texture mix of carrot shreds and nuttiness. Paired with a generous piping of cream cheese icing was a perfect way to end brunch and fuel my day. I'm a fan!
I stopped by for coffee. Then I got a slice of the carrot cake. I can never resist it especially when it has a generous serving of cream cheese icing on top. Then I got intrigued by their house made spicy ketchup. The staff was so kind to tell me I could try it before buying when I was dithering over it. There is a bottle on every table. So I tried it and then bought two bottles. Great way to sell the products. The flat white was ok. A bit too strong for me. The carrot cake was delicious. It would have been better if I had tea with it. It was not very busy on a Tuesday late morning but I can imagine it to be a popular spot on weekend. The dishes on the menu were very enticing. I'll have to come here next time I'm in the area, just to try the biscuit sandwich or eggs benny. There is also parking at the rear where there is also a patio.
Delicious breakfast with friendly service! Loved the casual relaxed atmosphere too. This cafe offers beautifully baked treats and dishes with generously sized portions. I absolutely loved my Basted Baker Hash. It's like a warm breakfast salad with roasted peppers, mushrooms, pickled purple cabbage, crispy basted potatoes and a poached egg all on a bed of fresh spinach. It was both delicious and beautiful! We also enjoyed an apple pie and a slice of carrot cake to go. I highly recommend this cafe!!
Their biscuits are perfect. Crunchy edges. Soft in the center. Perfectly poached eggs. Friendly service with a smile. Order then seat yourself. They'll bring your order to you. Small patio in the front and in the back. Very cute little place. You should definitely try it.
Great little place to stop off for a quick bite if you're in Sechelt. Their biscuit was my favorite part of this breakfast. It was nice and thin but packed in a lot of flavor and the edges were nice and crispy while the middle was perfectly soft for my liking. The restaurant is a little small but they do have patio seating in the front and covered tables outside at the back of their restaurant.
We came here for bennies at brunch time and it was awesome. Generous portions, great flavours, and that butter biscuit was so so good! Staff is friendly and there a nice patio at the back. I would eat here again next time I visit Sunshine Coast.
Nice light and perfectly cooked scone, pretty chill atmosphere. Great alternative to big chains Small coffee definitely small but good
This place makes everything themselves, when a eggs benny comes with house made biscuits you know it's got something good going. I was completely stuffed after their pulled pork benny. Seriously their portions are near American sizing. Either that or I'm used to shrunk sizes- coming from Vancouver. Anyway items are well laid out on the cute wall menus. The pulled pork was intelligently seasoned -not doused with some pre-made bbq sauce like many places. I arrived as the first customer as I sensed it would get busy quick on a nice summer day especially with limited seating in this cozy venue. Returned a few other times just to grab pastry for mid day snacks and they were all well prepared and fresh. Will be back again.
Wow, food was incredibly good and portions were massive. The two women running the show were really kind and friendly. Because of the plexiglass (Covid measure) and my lack of listening I kissed my Americano order. When I went up to ask where it was, they explained kindly that I missed the announcement, but not a problem, they'll make a new one. So nice. Food was great. Ordered two pulled pork sandwiches, hash browns, bacon and a buttery bun (there are four of us). This was way too much food and we ended up taking half of it home. The bowls on other's plates were as pictured in others reviews, and looked very good.
based on other yelp reviews, i had bookmarked this as a place to potentially stop into while in the vicinity. it turned out i was in sechelt today and decided to get something to go. there are lots of really great sounding options on their menu, from bowls to bennies. i chose the harvest bowl and can say was no disappointed. even though i took it to go, it was quite tasty, was an ample serving size (has essentially left me full for the better part of the afternoon) and really good ingredients. the service was also positive in terms of the cashier telling me approximately how long the wait would be and then announcing my order number when it was ready. while i didn't sample any baked goods the case was pretty stocked mid morning and there were definitely occupied tables both inside and out. a nice find for sure! read more
I ordered the daily special, which was an eggs benedict featuring vodka-infused bacon. I ordered at the counter, and since it was a weekday, the service was quick and the cafe wasn't too busy. The caramelized onions were exceptionally flavorful--so delicious! The biscuit was perfect--buttery, fluffy, and nicely crusty on the outside. The hollandaise was also quite good. However, the eggs were a bit overcooked for my preference; the whites were solid and the yolks were mostly set rather than runny. Overall, it was a very flavorful meal, and I will definitely return when I'm back on the Sunshine Coast read more
First glance at the menu here and you realize it's not unique breakfast/brunch items you haven't seen before, but it's the quality they put out compared to other local places in Sechelt. Opting for the Basted Basic, you can't mess up a solid plate including a nicely sized biscuit, a good portion of bacon, perfectly poached eggs and freshly mashed avocado. Wifey enjoyed her eggs benny, while my son was just happy to receive a squishy pig toy with his Piglet Pack (kids meal). They also have so baked sweet or savory pastries to go as well. There is both limited internal and outdoor seating, so I could imagine how packed it can be at peak hours. Order at the counter, and they'll deliver your items, and bus your own table (one of the workers graciously offered to do it for us). read more

Everything food wise is tasty, service is very kind, you can sit in or outside too. If you get there early enough you get the food where as in showing up you lose out on the great morning muffins. Sitting inside the sun shines though the window and being there early is relaxing. read more

We popped in early on a Saturday and fortunately we were able to get indoor seating for two! You order at the counter, get your seat and wait for your number to be called. We ordered the salmon Benny, heuvos rancheros, two empanadas to go (for a snack later in the day!) and coffee. The ladies working the front were super friendly and nice. Not sure about prior reviews stating otherwise! As everyone else mentions, the portions are very healthy. Between my husband and I we did a full order Benny and half order huevos. The huevos were awesome- a big portion of guac over beans, some pickles cabbage topped with an egg and salsa. Super flavorful. The Benny was also loaded with smoke salmon, spinach and tomato. I took a star off as the potatoes were a bit dry. We asked for our eggs to be soft but rather they were hard and overcooked. read more
Cute cafe in town. Self service place but lots of room to sit and stay for food! We went on a Sunday but it wasn't very busy at all surprisingly. They have a ton of amazing looking baked goods... we tried the berry scone which was topped with white chocolate-so good! Make sure you ask them to warm it up. The eggs benny was good but not out of this park amazing. if there are two of you, getting a full order is enough to split). It comes on a fresh baked biscuit which looks better than it tasted. The biscuit could use some oomph to it, maybe spices or herbs? However it is very filling, though also very heavy. I would prefer an English muffin but if you're hungry you definitely wont leave like that. The patio is a great spot to people watch and gets lots of sun! I don't know if i would get the eggs benny again but I would go back to try more baking! read more

We visited BB pre-covid and it was excellent. We were not disappointed this time either. My daughter had the OG Breakfast Sandwich and an Iced Latte, and I had a half order of the Sausage and Tomato Eggs Bennie and a Latte. It was all excellent again and we will certainly be back the next time we come through Sechelt. Also picked up some pastries to go. A little pricey however they are huge so you definitely get your money's worth. I would highly recommend Basted Baker to anyone. read more

I really, really want to love this place. There were so many rave reviews about their brunch but it just ended up so very average. There are quite a few great things about the place. The space is reasonably sized and beautiful with two patios (one in the back and one in the front). Though we went on a Holiday Monday, there was still enough space despite the rush from the mainland. There was a sample of a peanut butter cookie at the front, which was a nice touch (though not labelled for the peanut allergy people). Also, their coffee beans are from Timbertrain and they roast them well and create great lattes out of them. Then comes the not-as-great aspects of my experience. The service is counter service and then you find a seat, which is perfectly fine. The service was prompt - definitely not warm by any standards but that's okay. Then we had to wait 30 minutes for our breakfast to be ready, which I ordered the Avocado and Tomato Benny (full size) which came with a side of potatoes. Their biscuit is quite good. Though Benny on a Biscuit is definitely heavier than your typical English Muffin affair - so I would have been satisfied with a half size offering. My biggest gripe about the place is that their Hollandaise Sauce is not housemade and it taste very much like mayonnaise. It was also quite drenched in it that really did ruin the Benny Experience. Overall, it was not terrible of an experience. I did enjoy their coffee. But for their breakfast, it definitely is not worth the 30+ minute wait for a very meh Benny. If I return, I will not try another Benny until they sort out their Hollandaise situation. read more

Arrived on the Coast at night and could hardly wait for morning. We had seen the Basted Baker goods on a friend's Instagram feed and wondered if it was worth the hype. OH MY WORD. 6 Stars. Seriously. It's a small establishment located on the main drag. Lot's of street parking available during the week and limited parking on Saturday (in summer) when the Farmer's Market is running. But, Saturday is when there are Eggs Benny Biscuits till 3PM, so it's well worth walking a bit. We ate here the first day and fell head over heels. We were heading to a different restaurant the 2nd morning and turned the car around reasoning that 'it would be a waste of time and money to try other places when we had been dreaming about the previous day's meal'. Went several times. Sat outside in front, inside and hope to try the back patio next time. The inside has a casual atmosphere and the server's are efficient and friendly. I would take a ferry just to have those breakfast sandwiches again. Can't wait to try the sausage and cinnamon rolls. Gluten free biscuits available. read more
It was my last day on vacation so why not go all out on a biscuit sandwich? Basted Baker serves some pretty damn buttery and flakey biscuits. I ordered the Pacific, which had wild smoked salmon, Crème Fraiche, baked egg, tomato slice, braised onions and sauteed kale. It may look small, but that thing is a beast. I thought the smoked salmon would be my favorite part, but I loved the sauteed kale even more. Maybe the part of the salmon I received was a tiny bit chewy. (too much of the vein) Other than that, it was still very enjoyable. I'll have to try their salad next time since the biscuit sandwich was a bit too heavy for me. The cappuccino was strong and delicious. Staff were welcoming and happy. This place gets pretty busy so come early on the weekends. read more

Incredible food. Impeccable service. Passionate crew. Phenomenal attention to detail. The salmon sandwich on a breakfast biscuit bursts with flavor from the sauce. My wife ate a Pho sandwich, beautiful presentation of both, thank you! The menu changes frequently to follow the seasons and the local offerings. The coffee offerings are varied and equally as relish. Plus, there is a neat mural on the wall describing each. @DM and your one star review, seriously, don't come back. Their food is wasted on you. Stick to Swanson TV dinners. read more

Had the Fowl Play biscuit (Chicken, Brie, Pesto.. like this sandwich was made for me.) it was a hearty breakfast! The biscuit itself was super moist and it was a really good sandwich but the 5 stars is really for the carrot cake I got (which I sadly forgot to take a picture) The carrot cake!! It was the best carrot cake I've ever had. Truth be told, the only reason why I would go back to Sechelt. It was so good that I bought another to bring back home to enjoy it again, only to find out that my mom finished the whole thing. If you like carrot cake, this will not let you down. And if you don't like carrot cake, this one will probably change your mind. read more
