Stephanie M.

We came on a Sunday at around 12:30pm and saw the sign outside that said almost sold out. We ran in and unfortunately they didn't have many products left. Later on, we checked their Instagram and realized that they start selling out early in the day. If you want their goods, be sure to get there bright and early (before they even open) to guarantee you get all the goods that you want. We ended up getting 2 regular croissants, 2 pain au Chocolat and 2 of the hazelnut chocolate cookies. Both types of croissants were super buttery and flaky. The butter flavour was really strong which is exactly how I love my croissants. The outside was crispy and the lamination inside was perfect. The hazelnut chocolate cookies were my favorite. When we got them they were nice and hot but I wouldn't recommend eating they when they are hot as you lose the chewiness. Once cooled, omg, they are so chewy and addictive. Good amount of sweetness. Loved the additional crunch from the hazelnut. The cookie itself was also crunchy on the outside. Would definitely recommend Overall if you plan on coming to Goodside pastry. Come early and come ready to open your wallet because your going to want 1 of EVERYTHING. Definitely try there cookies and croissants

The line up is worth the wait! Get there early before they run out!! Best pastries in Victoria, especially the savory options.

Chocolats Favoris - Mini smores

Amazing ice cream! There are many flavors to choose from and different sizes as well. They have…read morediagrams and display cones for how big each size is so it's easy to see. The larger sizes (which pricey) are huge!! Each ice cream (ex. chocolate, vanilla) can be put in a cup, cone, or waffle cone. You can then choose the flavor it gets dipped into. Finally, you can choose if you want the extra toppings for a fee. I personally love the cookies and cream one with vanilla ice cream. Service is fast and everything is visible. It's so fun to see each ice cream get made! There are also other desserts available if you want something to go, or a souvenir. There is free water. Just grab a clean cup and pour it yourself.

In downtown Victoria's dessert corridor, Chocolats Favoris had a steady crowd for its signature ice…read morecream dipped in real chocolate whenever we walked past. Visited on a weekend night and ordered the small dipped cone with dark chocolate, raspberry sauce, and bits. I loved the contrast between the cool, creamy vanilla‑style soft serve coated in a glossy layer of intense dark chocolate that cracked with a satisfying snap. The raspberry sauce added a bright, tangy edge, cutting through sweetness rather than just echoing it. Texture‑wise, the firm shell and small toppings lent some welcome chew against the soft ice cream's smooth melt. The portion was modest (a true small), which made the roughly mid‑to‑high single‑digit price feel slightly steep but still justifiable for a treat. Service was friendly and quick at the counter. The shop's vibe leans casual and family‑friendly. Seating is limited, so this plays best as a grab‑and‑stroll dessert.

Great customer service, Delicious desserts [Victoria BC]…read more I really wanted to try their Crepe Cake but was told that they sold out and won't get them again the following week. Not sure what ingredients they were waiting shipment for. So I chose a Japanese Soufflé Cheesecake next... same thing! Bummer. So hopefully they have the Egg Bubble Waffle and they did! Third time's a charm. We actually came here twice for dessert. The first time we had the Tiramisu Egg Bubble Waffle and then we came back again the next day and had the Chocolate Egg Bubble Waffle. They both look similar. The owners, young couple, were always hard at work and friendly too, especially the husband. They have their small children in the restaurant with them. The desserts were delicious. Hubby and I shared one both times... it was massive. They also have a separate menu for soup, salad, apps... and sushi! They are in the historic Dominion Hotel in Victoria's Old Town (an impressive, 4-story brick building located at the southwest corner of Blanshard and Yates Streets). Interior is pretty too with the fancy chandelier lighting. We found metered street parking. Located across the Cineplex Odeon Victoria Cinemas in Downtown Victoria BC. UPDATE: After completing my review Yelpers have reported that this business has closed. We were just there last week ¯\_('~')_/¯ Review #3159

We got the mango yogurt smoothie, matcha brown sugar pearl milk, and soya cream boba milk tea. I feel like this is the worst tasting boba that I've had. It definitely didn't help that I was just in Vancouver the day before and probably had the best boba drink ever. The matcha was low quality, the mango smoothie was powdery, and the soya drink was bland

TOP NOTCH SERVICE. Beaver Tails are the ultimate Canadian experience. A fried flat dough topped…read morewith a sugary mixture. This is located on a main strip in Victoria - and I was happy to see it. I'd only had it in Ottawa. They have others in BC just not in Vancouver. It's a small stand so it's tight but it opens to the street so it feels bigger. On your birthday, you get a free beaver tail which retails probably closer to $10. You get to have the original but my favorite favorite flavor is the original with a lemon on it so they gave that to us for free for my mom's birthday. You must visit the spot if you're in Victoria yes it is a little touristy, but it is a very good product and the staff is super friendly.

We got the BrWOWnie and Strawberry Cheesecake and they were amazing! Though I definitely preferred…read morethe brownie one more. Definitely wanted to try their pistachio one too though but didn't get the chance. The fried dough base was delicious! Crisps on the edges, and soft in the middle. The brownie consist of chocolate hazelnut spread, then topped with warm brownie chunks, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. The strawberry cheesecake one is layered with cream cheese frosting, a drizzle of strawberry sauce, and generous chunks of graham cracker crumble. Service was neutral, and ambiance was great!

i really wanted to like this café, and honestly, i'd still recommend it for the aesthetics alone…read more the interior is beautiful, with glossy black and white checkered floors, soft white paneling, and a chandelier that adds a touch of elegance above the counter. natural light pours in from the tall front windows, illuminating the pastry case and giving the whole space a serene, gallery like feel. it's a calming spot to step into, and would be an ideal setting for a proper afternoon tea service. i ordered an almond croissant, french bread pudding, and the gateau du jour, green tea and vanilla, along with a yuzu maccha (sourced from jagasilk), all to go. the drink was the biggest disappointment, the yuzu flavour was absent, and the matcha itself was weak. on top of that, there's a small surcharge for ice (.50, which i did not expect) and oat milk (.50). the almond croissant looked promising with its golden shell and slivered almonds, though the nuts themselves weren't fully toasted, which made the topping feel a little underwhelming. the interior leaned more dense than the airy, flaky layers i'd been hoping for. this sometimes happens when the lamination doesn't quite hold or the proofing isn't ideal, not unusual with croissants, but still a letdown in contrast to its appearance. the green tea cake was beautifully presented, with neat layers of sponge and green tinted buttercream, but leaned on the sweeter side, with only a subtle whisper of green tea. the bread pudding, reheated at home, was the highlight, soft, custardy, and lifted by the vanilla cream sauce it came with. seating is limited but cozy, with a handful of small tables inside and a couple more out on the sidewalk. their selection is broad: whole cakes, slices, macarons, crème brûlée, tarts, cookies, all arranged neatly in the front window to tempt passersby. the café's charm lies in its design and atmosphere. it's worth a visit if you're nearby and want a chic spot to sit and relax, and i'd go back to try their other cakes, the display alone makes it hard not to.

Friends & Family Bake - Ube Custard Ball

We stopped by this small Filipino bakery on our recent trip to Victoria to pick up some baked goods…read morefor dessert. Even though it was the middle of winter and it was near closing, there was still a good number of people inside buying buns and not all of them seemed to be tourists like us. We ended up getting a number of different items: Custard Ball ($2.99) - We warmed this up in a toaster oven, giving a bit of the crust on the exterior edges of the donut, especially on the top where the powdered sugar turns into an almost crème brulee-like topping. The crumb is very fluffy fried and is filled with a sweetened vanilla custard. (4/5) Ube Custard Ball ($2.99) - This has the same donut dough base as the normal custard ball, but is filled with a dark purple ube cream. It's sweet and earthy, albeit not necessarily the most heavily ube flavored. (4/5) Original Ube Ensaymada ($2.99) - This bun, extremely fluffy and nice to eat, has an interesting spiral pattern construction at least when viewed from the bottom, but it's not apparent inside the bun. The bun is sweet and again there's not too much ube flavor. If it wasn't purple I'm not sure I could identify it as ube in flavor. (4/5) Classic Pandesal ($0.99) - Lightly sweet, great soft texture. It's pandesal, not too much else to say. (4/5) Overall the baked goods Friends & Family Bake sells are pretty good. Most of the items are soft, fluffy and sweet, perfect for breakfast or a dessert.

Amazing little Filipino bakery in Chinatown. So many sweet treats, and everything is well prepared…read moreand tastes great! Pricing is fair and service is great! You can take your baking to go or eat them on the spot, you should definitely have something on the spot where they can warm it up for you also.
