Super small and cramped bakery serving high quality items. It's pretty pricey even in a touristy spot but they deliver on the quality and execution. The pistachio and tarts are really well made and tasty. Can see why there's a line all the time. They do sell out of the good stuff early.

We tried several pastries and each one tasted better then the one before, you can't go wrong with anything you get. The passion fruit tart was my families favorite, I honestly couldn't choose a favorite they are all good. The place was very small inside I recommend getting your order to go.

Crust bakery is very popular bakery in victoria. When I visited on weekday afternoon, it was a long-line up. It was so hard to choose with so many options in showcase. what I got: Monkey bread was fluffy dough bread covered in cinnamon sugar glaze. It was very delicious, I thought it tasted like cinnamon bun, but, it was lighter than cinnamon bun and more fluffier. Almond twist pasty was filled with almond paste in the center. pastry was nicely soft with crispy pastry layers. I really like this item, too. Carrot cake muffin was a highlight! Icing cream on the top was nicely sweet and delicious, Muffin itself was less sweet than I thought which I really like and it was buttery and there were generous amount of carrot, raison and nuts! Very good! Overall, It was nice tor revisit this bakery. I will visit here again for next Victoria trip.

Blueberry danish

A must-visit bakery! The window display literally stopped us in our tracks. We couldn't resist ordering an assortment of pastries to share (10 in total), and every single one was delicious enough to repeat. The staff are friendly and happy to share recommendations, which made our experience even better. Their savory items are just as delectable as their sweets, and they also make excellent espresso-based drinks to order. For sweets, my personal favorites were the crème brûlée tart and the blueberry Danish. On the savory side, the pork and fennel sausage roll was incredible: packed full of meat and encased in perfectly flaky pastry. It was hearty and satisfying. Crust Bakery has definitely earned a spot on our itinerary for the rest of our visit. Highly recommended for anyone craving high-quality pastries. Even better if you bring the assortment to Beacon Hill park to enjoy while you picnic!

Oh man. It was overwhelming to come in the morning when they still have all their selections. There were so many to choose from. We came on the recommendation of a friend who lives in Victoria. There might have been a couple people before us, but the staff there is super efficient. There is a counter along the wall with bar stools for inside seating. I got several things, but had th pear pastry there with my latte. The pastry was really yummy. My kids seemed to have enjoy the pain au chocolat that I got them as well. I tried the sausage roll later, and even though it was cold, it was still good. I imagine it would have been better warmed up. My friend gifted me the Crust Bakery cookbook. I can't wait to try it. Definitely going back on my next visit. Probably better in morning when they have more selection. This place is a must try.

passionfruit slice and pistachio tart
Amanda L.

The passionfruit slice was my favorite. It was mind-blowing good. The portion may appear small, but it's enough for 2 people to share since it's quite rich. Unfortunately, the pistachio tart wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be. The filling was quite runny and didn't have a strong pistachio flavor. Their bakery had so many options, I wish I could have tried more. I will definitely get the passionfruit slice every time I go.

Small but amazing little bakery in walking distance of the main pier area.. approx 10-15 min walk one way.. so many lovely treats to choose from.. love the variety of savory pastries - which is often lacking in some places.. faves were the crime brûlée tart, almond croissant and sausage rolls.. wasn't a fan of the rocky road bar - it was more of a Nanaimo bar and fruitcake hybrid than a rocky road bar.. the mushroom tart was really bad - soggy and clearly not made day of .. would advise to have your pastries toasted - we had both toasted and non toasted sausage rolls and it made all the difference.. prices are cheaper than Vancouver which is a big plus

Pastries

The pastries here are delicious!! The service was quick and the people were super nice. I got the ginger snap cookie, strawberry/almond pastry, and the lemon tart - all were fantastic, especially the lemon tart. It's a cute little shop, not much seating room but it's clean. I'd go back!

roast beef sandwich with homemade pickles

excellent friendly service. Incredibly fresh delicious baked goods, including pastries, and sandwiches.

A must do in Victoria! There was a line out the door but it moved fast and the pastries are very good! We bought only the sweet pastries - almond croissant, blueberry pastry, almond twist, vanilla poached apple pastry, and something else that I already forgot even though it was just an hour ago. Everything was delicious but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be the blueberry pastry. Highly recommend!

I came to this place for a quick breakfast to grab and go. There was a line but it went by fairly quick. There were lots of sweet and savory choices to select from. What caught my eye was the cream brûlée tart but I completely forgot about it when I was ordering due to so many other options inside. I needed up getting the bacon quiche, sausage roll, the pistachio tart, the brûlée donut, and the almond croissant. The pistachio was a tad bit sweet for my liking but the pistachio flavor was good for those whom love pistachios. The almond croissant was the best! It wasn't too sweet, light and airy. The sausage roll was sooooo delicious! 10/10 recommend. Ramsey would not be disappointed by the one sold here! The donut was alright, it was not as delicious as how my eyes perceived it.

Laura L.

Oh my goodness, this place is tasty and reasonably priced! We shared a lemon tart, which was the perfect balance of tart filling on a lovely sugar cookie-like crust, a molasses cookie, which was spiced to perfection and delightfully chewy, and a strawberry turnover with almond frangipane, which was flaky and had a generous amount of filling. The shop is bright, cheerful and welcoming, and the folks behind the counter were efficient and pleasant. If you're looking to treat yourself, Crust is definitely the place to do it!

Lychee raspberry rosewater pastry

Yummy pastries! I was particularly drawn in by the lychee raspberry rosewater pastry but the cookie and croissant were also good.

Latte and iced mocha.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Good service and good offerings at…read morereasonable make this worth the visit! === 2. FOOD Almond Croissant: sure it's more than $5, but it's decently-sized and loaded to the gills with almonds and powdered sugar while still being flaky-fresh - yum! The real value is the day-old section: three pastries randomly placed in a bag - these pickups worked for us: - Chocolate Roll: yum! - Apple-carrot Muffin: yum yum, and still soft! - Spinach Feta Danish: a great savoury treat! Note: for those of you with kids: they have giant Smarties-based cookies for $2.75! === 3. SERVICE It's great and patient, and full of recommendations. What more could you ask for! === 4. ENVIRONMENT A dim, aged interior awaits you - but it's really just enough space for you to walk in and admire the offerings in a couple of display cases while watching the staff behind the counter whip up more bakery delights. You could bring wheelchairs and baby strollers in here, but there would not be much room for anyone else during your visit. Parking is best found on one of the nearby streets - be careful not to park in the lot in the back, which is reserved for the cafe and other businesses next door.

Patisserie Daniel, is a bakery worth checking out…read more The temptations are numerous. When you walk in, the smell of bread & pastries will have you immediately pull out your wallet, or should I say cell!? There's plenty of baked goodies here - bread, pastries, pies, cakes, with gluten & vegetarian options available. Great service & comfort in this cozy bakery. Come prepared to grab & go. I got the a Peach & a Berry Tart. Both were on point top notch. For Victoria, I'm going to rank this a close second to Crust Bakery - see my review. Now there may be more out there in greater Victoria as I continue to explore, so do stay tuned.

Absolutely loved this place! Working Culture Bread was one of the highlights of my trip to…read moreVictoria. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and everything we ordered was so well done. The orange latte was incredible...bright, slightly citrusy, and perfectly balanced with the espresso. It's one of those drinks you think about long after it's gone. I also had the breakfast sandwich, and it was everything I wanted: fresh bread (obviously), high-quality ingredients, and really satisfying without being heavy. You can tell this place is run by people who care deeply about their craft. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Highly recommend!

Went here around 11 AM and there was already a long line out the door. I ordered the breakfast…read moresandwich, which is only served from 9 AM to 12 PM. They have three options: vegetarian, vegan, and one with meat. I went with the one that has meat, and my friend got the vegan one. I also grabbed one of the savory danishes and an oatmeal cookie latte (yes, that's a thing, and yes, it sounded too good to skip). My order took a little while, but that made sense given how long the line was. I got my drink first, then the sandwich came out a few minutes later. The first bite was amazing. Super flavorful. The bread was soft and tasted fresh. I tried a few bites of my friend's vegan sandwich too, and honestly, it might've been even better than mine. How is vegan food this good?? I had the danish later at home and it was really good too. Can't wait to go back. I want to try the vegetarian sandwich next time and maybe pick up some of their cool merch.

They have an actual wood fired oven here which lends a certain extra special something to the breads in particular. The croissants are good but not the best. Is still out then in my top 10 though, which is pretty good. I was a little disappointed in my London Fog, which I thought was made with more fog than tea, but this is a bakery and not a coffee shop so I don't fault them too much for that. All in all, a worth while visit. I will return.
