I thought I'd return, to use the cards and also give them another chance. Well, it will be my last time. The overall staff "vibe" is too busy doing whatever to help. We ordered some mortadella from the deli, didn't specify the thickness and wasn't asked, we came home to find it cut super thick (think bologna). Our fault for not specifying. $19 for 500g We then asked for a loaf of raisin bread. It was listed for $7.25 yet on the receipt it was $9..... A $8 bag of crouton sticks and we ventured to the cafe. This time knowing better we didn't order hot food. A few cookies and a mocha. This was fine, however the mocha seemed to lack mocha... was very pale in colour, not sure if it was missed or just weak. Not sure this will matter to anyone as the store seems to have a very loyal following and is busy. But we won't be back again.

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.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fox & Monocle in the North Saanich/Sidney area, and the…read moreexperience was truly memorable. From start to finish, everything was beautifully prepared and wonderfully served. We began with the truffle gougere -essentially delightful little cream puffs filled with melted parmesan that were absolutely to die for. Each bite was rich and delicious. Next up was the bread served with onion butter, which had a fantastic flavor profile. My only tiny wish was that the bread had been toasted just a bit to help that lovely butter melt right in. For the main course, we shared a mushroom pie that was beautifully presented and had that comforting, home-cooked feel. The standout dish of the night, though, was the rock fish. The fish was tender, flaky, and paired with pillowy soft gnocchi that was just perfect in texture. We ended the meal with a dark chocolate namelaka (a type of soft biscuit) and a sticky toffee pudding, both beautifully presented. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious, though I personally would have loved just a bit more of that rich sauce to soak up the entire cake, Overall, the service was wonderful, and the meal was impeccable. The area is truly lucky to have such a fine dining gem, and I can't wait to go back again!

Every baked good was perfectly semetrical and there were regulars, bicyclists, and families. The only thing missing was the cool color tones of a Wes Anderson movie to capture mood and dialogue. I tried two of the breakfast sandwiches: beef and an egg and sausage. Both were delicious. I also tried their galette with mushroom and cheddar. It was a nice savory bite of crunch from the pastry dough , and texture of the mushrooms and spices. My belly was full for the direction of my 3 hours on the island. Service was very good also.

Although we had to wait for a little bit for the food to arrive. The marinated meat was good, but a bit too pricey for the amount and also some parts of the combination was salty than others. Likewise for many of the other dishes too - a bit too pricey for the amount of food served. However, because we're in Victoria I understand why... The best dish here was definitely the Singapore Rice Noodles. A must order dish if you like rich curry flavor.

The beef horfun was sold out (the chef orders them weekly from a special small-batch place in Vancouver weekly!) so the owner kindly substituted it with the Singapore style noodles instead and it still worked out great. Make sure to eat it with her special extra-spicy housemade chili oil that REALLY kicked it up a notch. Everything else that we tried was great too - the pan fried pork buns, the cucumber and wood ear salad etc. Tea is charged at $2.50/person. The interior decor is very quaint and we like how private/cozy it felt; almost reminded us of those quaint restaurants in Paris that have very limited/intimate seating - for that reason alone, be sure to make a reservation well in advance. Docking one star only because service was very, very slow - the chef means it when she says it's "Not Fast"! We were here for almost 2.5hrs and can see how understaffed it was with just one person in the kitchen and dirty dishes left by previous patrons all piling up. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed the food here and will be back to try the seafood curry fried rice on an evening that we're not in a hurry/have time to kill. And hey, at least Uno cards are provided for your table to play with while you wait!
