Many are surrounded by bench sets and lots of pillows, a nice place to relax and have your breakfast or lunch. They have several baked goods to choose from including gluten free. After an internal struggle on which item to order, I went with the French baked eggs to go. There was a large slice of ham topped with Brie, white truffle sauce, mozzarella, eggs and a slice of tomato. Also comes with toast with choice of sourdough or multigrain. Great meal and got me ready for the rest of the day visiting Victoria!

I also had the fabulous pleasure of eating their delicious lunchtime specials, today was a delicious Halibut burger on a ciabatta bun and the fries were cooked in Beef Talow Also I came home with 3 of the fattest tenderloins I've ever had! The food is amazing but the customer service is even better. Phenomenal is the way to describe the father/son duo operating this store!! A fabulous find in Sidney by the Sea!!

They even remembered my husband on our second visit and helped us order in a way that kept us from overdoing it, super thoughtful and appreciated. The food was fresh and delicious both days, and we loved spotting some local Michigan treats on the shelves (a sweet touch for two Michigan natives now living in Seattle!). Great food, great people, and just the kind of hometown charm you hope to find when visiting a new place. Highly recommend!

Remember what life was like before yelp? We just went places 'cause they looked cool, tried restaurants 'cause they looked nice or someone recommended it... but now, most of us go on Yelp. Why? To read novel length reviews from wannabe journalists? Or are you like me: I just want to look at the menu before hand, check out the prices, & know if I'll get food poisoning or not.

We are hooked on stopping in the morning for fresh-made sandwiches, drinks, chips, snacks, and desserts to take along for our day vacationing on the island. The sandwich counter is amazing with giant wraps being made while customers happily wait in line to get them. The store has a great selection of pre-made and packaged sandwiches, desserts, sweetbreads... to grab if you are in a hurry. You will find all of the items you would at a small grocery store here. Most of the other shoppers seem to be locals who were fun to visit with as well as giving some great ideas of places to visit. :)

I also ordered pick up for just myself another time. Lots of dessert & pre-made meal choices. Even if you're just stopping for something to drink, you'll enjoy browsing through the little shop. They're focused on Italian specialty items but have a mix of other goods there too. Staff are always friendly & are very patient with my packing logistics so I can carry everything myself while using my cane. There's seating inside & on the patio. I'm yet to go early enough in the day to enjoy the patio or on a nicer weather day but I do appreciate the very sturdy ramp up to the restaurant/shop doors & patio. Decent amount of parking too. Quick to drive to from Duncan & I first noticed this place when I took Lake Road for different views. Immediately off the main road but pay close attention to google maps (or whatever you use) when you're driving to the restaurant. As you see the sign & restaurant after you should be slowing down to turn into driveway. By my third visit, I knew what to look for & I didn't have to circle back. Looking forward to stopping here in 2026 & trying more items off the menu.

Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon.

He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.
