    I'd say this is a fancy place to fancy any of your oral watering delights. The interior looks quite Parisian. Brightly lit and visually very appealing. The interior designer did an excellent job. The baked goods are, well, good. I'd visit again. Next trip.

    French bread pudding with dipping sauce

    The ambience is great for enjoying a snack and chatting. The French bread pudding was very soft and slightly sweet. The staff offered to warm it up so we can enjoy it, and it tasted even bette

    A French patisserie in Chinatown- who would think!? Stopped by for a sweet treat after dinner in Chinatown. La Roux is right off Fisgard in Chinatown. Cute little shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Counter service was good. Unfortunately, they were sold out of a lot of the choices. We tried a few macrons and the chocolate profiterole. The profiterole was delicious- light, airy chocolate mousse with a raspberry curd. Highly recommend for a sweet treat- come early to have more choices!

    What a great place. Everything was delicious and not overly sweet. Perfect place to have a pit stop. Bright and airy inside.

    One of my vacation's best highlights is my morning coffee and fresh Croissants. I Googled and found this little upscale French Bakery. La Roux Patisserie. My wife and I arrived around 8:50 AM, ten minutes before they opened their doors. We noticed we would not be the first patrons, and a few other customers and one of the employees were outside waiting. The owner and chef opened the door for the employee and announced that they would be opening for business shortly. Anyways, after we got in, the same employee, with a very positive attitude and a big smile, served our coffee and Croissants. We got three Croissants and two coffees. The croissants were fresh, warm, and tasty, and the coffee was fresh, hot, dark, and perfect. We enjoyed everything from the patio sitting to our choice of coffee and pastries in La Roux, and most importantly, I recommend you go to this little upscale French Bakery, particularly if you are visiting Victoria. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    Paris Brest & Chocolate Cookie
    Yojna J.

    This is where you should go if you're craving some French pastries! La roux gives off a clean, airy feel. Our eyes caught sight of those delectable French pastries and baked goodies while we were walking, so we decided to stop! You're going to love this! This location is charming. I adore the design. It almost convinces you to visit Paris for pastries! A chocolate cookie and the Paris Brest were ordered! Omg! Hands down to the best Paris Brest in Victoria! It brought back fantastic memories of my vacations around Paris. The Paris brest consists of the greatest praline crème in and is served with pate a choux. The chocolate cookie was decadent and chewy. It's a perfect cookie. It was a pleasure to converse with the host/owner, and she gave outstanding service. There are seating tables inside for you to enjoy some Patisseries! We shall return. Highly recommend!!!

    They sell Silk Road's tea. Tried angel water and liked it. Quaint little French cafe. Seems to have a lot of deserts. Service was timely.

    We loved eating here for breakfast on our last day visiting Victoria! Very nice staff and amazing selection of patisserie goods and hot drinks, loved the atmosphere and outdoor seating lovely. Highly recommend for a sweet treat and lovely place to sit!

    Flaky and buttery croissant along with rich cinnamon rolls for dessert, I mean breakfast :) is a wonderful way to start a Saturday morning before lots of dancing!

    Raspberry pistachio cake, apricot bomb
    Kay F.

    A very delicious place for desserts in downtown Vancouver! We sat in and got two desserts - the apricot bomb and the raspberry strawberry cake. The apricot bomb is one of their unique fall offerings and I loved the look of it. The outer chocolate layer was quite thick and made it hard to eat although once we were able to crack it open, it was quite delicious. The raspberry pistachio cake was absolutely divine - soft and airy - would highly recommend!

    Totally amazing pastries, that's all I got! You will not be disappointed and I'll be coming back for more

    Carrot cake, Latte, & London Fog.
    Xert D.

    Cute experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, hasty service. Decor felt open, airy, fresh. Carrot cake was moist, sinfully decadent. Latte balanced with just enough sweetness, creaminess.

    La Roux... I am through...going to other places! This place brings me to my happy place - and here are the reasons why: -their pastry; I'm not sure which to call my favourite because they are all unreal. My 'special' shout-out goes to the almond croissants; every time I have one it's a good day! -their beverages; personally, I love the their lattes! But anything you get will be made with quality (like everything else in their store)! -their people; the staff are very friendly, and offer excellent suggestions on what to get... it's one of the ways I discovered their 'game-changing' Paris-Brest! Mamma Mia! -their location; grab a coffee + a pastry and have a nice walk in China town... then head to the water and feel #blessed to be here! La Roux for the win!

    One of those places I just stumbled upon that was close to my hotel. I walked in the first time,…read moreand saw some pretty nice baked things...... I then went the second day to get coffee and I couldn't decide on if I wanted sweet or savory. I chose sweet..... and while I was leaving Victoria with my raspberry danish sitting in a nice little bag, I bit into it, and have to say it was one of the best danish pastries I have ever had, it was bakery buttery good, and they do not skimp on the raspberry jelly topping, where some places it looks like they just add enough to call it a danish.... well this was so good and if I had more time I would have drove back down to this place to buy up the rest of what they have. They sell baked loaves of bread, and individual baked pastries, and also coffee.... oh that is really good here too. Fol Epi... you are now on my to go list anytime I am in Victoria, and now looking back at my pictures, there are cookies, croissants, palmiers, kouign amanns...... and more.... I need to try. As another Yelper wrote... I wish I lived around the corner.... cause really I do, but that just makes this one special for a return visit.

    I wish I lived around the corner from this place! We picked up a variety of their pastries this…read moremorning and not one item disappointed. The interior is so adorable and reminds me of the homely cafes in Europe. As soon as you walk in you're immediately hit with the smell of baked goodness and their glass case and walls are full of freshly baked breads Highlight eats were the savory Danish, curry puff pastry and chocolate muffin. We bought a box of items for our Grandfather's nursing home staff and it was a hit! They all are keen to stop by soon to get their own fill of these delicious delights.

The tea selection is compelling and my choice, the rose congou emperor, was stellar. The sandwhiches and pastries were all quite high quality. However, where the tea really raises the bar is in the service itself. Our server was friendly, welcoming, and informative. It really lent an extra level of special to the whole experience.

It can be a bit spendy as it starts at CA$109 per person before tax and tip - at least for me I allocated the entire $100 USD dining credit with the Amex fine hotels and resorts benefit on this. Reservations are almost mandatory for weekend and I'm glad I made one just in case, although it was rather risky due to the 48 hour cancellation policy if I fly in the morning of, but it worked out. They're strict on time - I made a 12pm reservation and they refused to seat me even though it was not busy at all at 11am opening and made me wait until exactly 12pm. A bit harsh when I contacted the hotel and made a note to the restaurant for my arrival details. I got the traditional afternoon tea for 1 so just tea and 3 tiers of scones, small bites, and desserts. It was quite nice of them to refill the entire tier of savory small bites even though I only requested 3, so that was a nice touch that somewhat made up the poor first impression. You can request more of certain items for free, just don't abuse the system basically The food with the 1 tier refill was more than enough food for me - the service was decent as they checked up on me during the meal. I nicely asked for the tea gift box that is only reserved for anniversaries and they accommodated, but this will almost unlikely happen in many situations so your mileage may vary. I did wait 20 minutes for the gift box as it wasn't a priority for them, so do what you will to see if it is worth the time (I at least was not in a rush)
