A very popular bakery in downtown Victoria, and it's easy to see why. We stopped by for pastries…read moreand coffee. The shop itself is quite small, with only couple seats along the wall. Everything in the display case looked delicious, but we decided on the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry, the pistachio ganash tart and the pork & fennel sausage roll. The pistachio tart was fresh with a rich nutty flavor, though it took a little finesse to eat because the filling kept wanting to spill out. My favorite was the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry. It was flaky, with a delicate sweetness from the fruits and a subtle floral note from the rosewater. You can really taste the dedication in these pastries. I'd recommend going early in the day as many of their items tend to sell out quick.

We ordered a bread loaf at Fol Epi to take home as we've been before and loved it. This time we got the French loaf, it's not full sourdough but still fresh as can be and crusty exterior. I also got an iced vanilla matcha which was delish. We also ordered two danish style cheese pastry wheel things, my only criticism was the cheese was quite cook so it's more of a crunch pastry than a soft one with also a hint of mustard. Service was quick and very nice! Staff was chatty. No pics because we ate everything real fast lol.

The aroma of fresh bakery items is mouth watering. It's not a large shop, but they have a good selection of bakery items. They consistently bring out fresh baked items through the day. The owners here are super friendly and great people. We had a chance to chat with them and it was a pleasure to get to know them. There's a little seating area for two in front of the store, but basically need to eat on the go. One of my go to spots when I visit Victoria. Highly recommend!

This place is a gem! Cute little bakery shop with delicious sweet and savory items. We tried the…read moretraditional Filipino sweet bread but with grated cheese on top, the ham and cheese pastry, and the Ube roll (looks like a flower). All three were yummy, but my favorite was the Filipino sweet bread with the cheese on top. It was sweet, savory, and buttery all at the same time - so good! They offered to warm it up, too, which is their suggestion before eating. It's run by a husband and wife who are really lovely people. We talked for a bit and their warmth and genuinely reflects what their business signs state: "Together we can 'bake' the world a better place." It's a small place so there are only a few seats, but that's okay for a quick bite and rest. Otherwise everyone gets it to go. We got there right at a good time because after our order, a TON of people came in. One lady even said, "This is the place." It's located in Victoria's Chinatown, right at the end of the literal Fan Tan Alley. Try it!

The mutton sausage roll had a strong lamb flavour but that's fine for us because we love the lamb flavour and the pastry was flaky. But it felt a bit dry. The pretzel was dry and not chewy. It was disappointing. The almond croissant was too sweet. The chocolate cookie was a bit chewy but not chewy enough. The ham and cheese croissant had a generous portion of ham in it but it was not flaky enough. I didn't get a chance to try any bread but I think that's probably what they are known for. The items we tried were kind of disappointing.

Then 20 minutes later we get called back by someone else who is now taking us off the list! No baguettes! Rather than extend their invented rule and 'slightly' inconvenience the store, the customer who did everything correct loses out. The store screwed up, but the customer pays for it. Will never return and will tell others of your poor service.

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.

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.
