The glazed is not overly sweet and the yeasty texture is just right. Also went for a bacon maple donut and it is like a meal by itself. Totally a fan. Go a little out of your way because it's worth it.

We also picked up the banana cheesecake, and it was packed with banana flavour. It was definitely a great choice for banana lovers. Everything is ready to go and nicely packed, making it super convenient for a quick dessert stop. Service was fast and friendly. The bakery has a few tables inside, but if they are full, you can enjoy your treats outside or head across the street to the Vancouver Island Regional Library, where there are benches that make a nice little dessert break spot. A simple, convenient, and delicious stop to experience a true Nanaimo classic!

We like really dense moist sourdough and took home a multi grain and a cinnamon raisin. The multi grain was good but the cinnamon reason was outstanding. Toasted with butter. You will thank me later!!

The best part of the pizza here was the dough, light and crisp. Considering it's a bakery that's to…read morebe expected. The place charges and presents itself as a gourmet pizzeria, so I had high expectations. But when I saw the pesto being used coming from a Costco jar and other ingredients out of zip locks, presumably also from Costco I was quite disappointed, offended even considering the price and pretence of gourmet. Aside from the dough and cooking technique, I could put those combinations together myself with my Costco pantry items... The pizzas did come out very cheesey and filled the hole. Oh and 3 out of the 6 listed on tap craft brews were out. The only reason I'm not going with 2 stars is mostly due to the small nature of the business. I'm sure if you're looking for a bakery item or bread specifically, this would be fine. On a holiday with limited meal times I'm disappointed I didn't go next door...

This place is absolutely a tourist trap, and that's okay, because if you are here, and you know…read morethat it is, and yes, there are Goats on the Roof, then you are going to love this place. Firstly, if you come here "late" like after 10am, then it might be a messy bit to find parking, but there is both parking behind and down along the drive into the property, or across the street also. Once you park, I recommend just heading to the Old Country Market itself, find a space a few meters back, and look on the roof, The roof has a rotating set of goats, which live up top. They are the attraction, and that is it. You got a place with Goats... on... the... roof. Once you have accomplished that, time to head inside and check out the offerings. First, if you are just rushing through, it's just going to feel like some random grocery market. Yes, lots of things are mass market, but when you SLOW down, and look around, you may start to find some lesser known, and okay, still Made in China, but local flair nevertheless. I recommend heading to the meat counter (assuming you like meat) and getting some Jerky, or other items.. because those are made locally. Then as you meander through the trinkets, you are going to find a mix between local and imported things. As you wonder back toward the baked products, you are going to see piles of loves of bread. I didn't try them, so can't recommend, however head past that, and you will find delicious case of based goods, including their house made Sausage Rolls, which are darn tasty. Go with their original one, then branch out. Again, meat lovers here. As you slowly, go around the store, being bumped by everyone around you, because there are too many people here, in this little shop, take in the fact that ABOVE YOUR HEAD, on the roof, are up there. So look, it's a trap, to be sure, and don't doubt it's going to be a mass of people, but honestly, you came here because it was a tourist trap, so go early, and take your time. Also, highly recommend the used book store nearby, once you free yourself of the money you are going to spend here in the market.

Rhino Coffee House was the perfect place for us to escape the rain, conveniently located on the…read moremain strip. It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon, but we were able to snag a table right away. Most of the donuts were sold out by that time, so options were pretty limited. I ordered a Matcha and Boston Cream Donut, and my boyfriend got a coffee and Maple Bacon Donut. Service was quick, and the interior had a cozy ambiance. My Matcha was very good, and tasted almost identical to a Starbucks Matcha Latte. The Boston Cream Donut was tasty, but the dough was very thick. It comes down to preference, but I love a lighter/fluffier donut. My boyfriend loved the Maple Bacon Donut though! Overall, a nice place to visit while exploring Tofino.

Tried the cookies and cream, maple bacon, cinnamon sugar, and cinnamon roll. Of them all, cinnamon sugar was the best. But overall would rate the donuts a 2/5. My matcha was a 5, ambiance also 5. Service was pretty quick but not necessarily the friendliest.

Oh my gosh the timbits were like eating candy the glaze must for been double dipped? I had wanted the farmers wrap but they were out of that type of wrap. I really enjoyed the wrap I ordered. It had a egg with grilled or maybe fried hash browns with some kind of 1000 island sauce. Loved it. The tea comes sweeten or unsweetened and if you are looking for a non carbonated drink this will get the job done. The lid is interesting too see photo. A great place for a road trip breakfast.
