    Great find in the cute little burg of Sidney. Fairly extensive selection of handmade pastries,…read morecookies and savory sandwiches. They even sell dog biscuits that are baked in-house. Everything looked tempting so we purchased a lot: a fig tapenade Brie sandwich (wonderful flavours, a little heavy on the bread and light on the cheese); a mango danish (delicate, crisp pastry strewn with baked mango chunks); a vegetarian pizza (cheesy and flavourful); and my favourite, an oatmeal fudge bar (like the one Starbucks used to sell, but with higher-quality ingredients and most importantly, more chocolate!). We also got a salad as a nod to nutrition, which was fresh, contained a surprising amount of bocconcini and came with a tasty vinaigrette - a little overpriced for the portion tho. Service was friendly and prompt. No seating inside, but there are a few benches outside where one can enjoy the treats if the weather's fine--and it was. 4.5

    Whenever you're using Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal (10mins away from here) to catch a ferry back to…read morethe mainland, make sure you pop in. The Fickle Fig Express is a cute little bakery serving up some fabulous pastries, along with friendly service with a smile. Located on the central high street core of Sidney, make this bakery one not to miss. I was lucky they had anything left, getting here at 3pm. Cause you know how it is when it comes to bakeries - the early bird gets the worm. The Cinnamon Bun was very good & the Chocolate Almond Brownie - sensational.

    Fickle Fig Farm to Flight - Breakfast Sandwich with Meat ($10.50): avoid this bun/English Muffin if you can - rock hard and strange meat flavour!

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE I love supporting local and the…read moreservice has always been great here...but the breakfast options keep disappointing - so the value isn't really there, especially with Tim Hortons literally across the hall. === 2. FOOD Breakfast Sandwich with Meat ($10.50) Tried it twice now (see pictures) and both times were disappointing: - Croissant with scrambled eggs and pepperoni (?) was OK, but the meat was a little unusual taste-wise, and the croissant was neither fresh (French-style, crispy outside) nor Costco-style (soft). - English muffin (?) with a fried egg and pepperoni (?) was regrettable unfortunately. There was an interesting spice/sauce this time which made the egg less appealing, the meat was different, and the bun/muffin was so hard I had to throw it out after the first bite. It's other day-old baked goods perhaps, reheated, or perhaps there needs to be a change in how the items are heated? I'm sure it could be improved somehow... Cinnamon Bun ($4.95) Perhaps the best thing I've tried it's alright and I like the addition of the blueberries; it just comes at airport pricing. === 3. SERVICE It's always been polite, professional, and fast. So I want to support them with more purchases, but the food offerings are lacking... === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a food court-style counter, so you walk up, order, and go - the good news is that the limited communal seating is just behind this counter. Wheelchairs and baby strollers fit just fine. Not sure you'd drive here for the food, but if you did, the airport parking lot os spacious.
