Beautiful place, I love that there's three in one in this building, you have your cafe style…read moreserving coffees, the bread and party spot and then a meat and cheese and grocer restaurant style spot. We ordered a bread loaf at Fol Epi to take home as we've been before and loved it. This time we got the French loaf, it's not full sourdough but still fresh as can be and crusty exterior. I also got an iced vanilla matcha which was delish. We also ordered two danish style cheese pastry wheel things, my only criticism was the cheese was quite cook so it's more of a crunch pastry than a soft one with also a hint of mustard. Service was quick and very nice! Staff was chatty. No pics because we ate everything real fast lol.

The fruit tastes like it's just picked up off the trees. everything there I tried looked fancy but taste simple,not complicated. and you know simple is usually the best!!!! I also got to have their yummy sandwich,I was pretty surprised with how soft the bread is and it's not dry and doughy !!! I am never a big fan of sandwiches,but this one totally win my heart!!!! I cannot find that kind of bread in Vancouver so far. Guess I will have to go back again soon!!! Wild fire ...here I come!!!

They have an actual wood fired oven here which lends a certain extra special something to the breads in particular. The croissants are good but not the best. Is still out then in my top 10 though, which is pretty good. I was a little disappointed in my London Fog, which I thought was made with more fog than tea, but this is a bakery and not a coffee shop so I don't fault them too much for that. All in all, a worth while visit. I will return.

Mamma Mia, Vic west is blessed!…read more I had the pleasure of attending a physically distant gathering with a friend who did us a solid and picked up some Fry's pastry. Well, let me tell you... they got an extra 50 points in my good books! The pastry I super appreciated and thought was high quality 'caliber-ness' was the pain au chocolate - just the right amount of flakiness and chocolate-ness! Oh my, we made their patio rain with crusty confetti!!! Also, the staff their are super friendly, they are, like a rockstar dream team! I can't wait to go beck and try more of their pastry - for I believe I shall be a better person when such opportunity shall arrive!

We got the mutton sausage roll, pretzel, almond croissant, chocolate cookie and a ham and cheese…read morecroissant. Everything was slightly disappointing. The mutton sausage roll had a strong lamb flavour but that's fine for us because we love the lamb flavour and the pastry was flaky. But it felt a bit dry. The pretzel was dry and not chewy. It was disappointing. The almond croissant was too sweet. The chocolate cookie was a bit chewy but not chewy enough. The ham and cheese croissant had a generous portion of ham in it but it was not flaky enough. I didn't get a chance to try any bread but I think that's probably what they are known for. The items we tried were kind of disappointing.

The Italian Bakery at Quadra and Tolmie is a cute little neighbourhood bakery/café. It's closed…read moreSundays and Mondays, and parking is limited to 2 spots on the street, The coffee beans they use are good quality, although the cappuccinos lacks any foam designs one might expect from a dedicated barista café. Unfortunately, there seems to be constant staff turnover, and the quality of the baking has steadily declined. The cinnamon buns were once a favourite, but lately they've been overly gooey, underbaked, and lacking cinnamon flavour. The cannoli is uninspiring, and the biscotti is so hard it's difficult to eat. As the bakery in our hood it's disappointing to see it going downhill. I hope they invest in better training and quality control because it has the potential to returning to the lively little neighbourhood cafe.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Good service and good offerings at…read morereasonable make this worth the visit! === 2. FOOD Almond Croissant: sure it's more than $5, but it's decently-sized and loaded to the gills with almonds and powdered sugar while still being flaky-fresh - yum! The real value is the day-old section: three pastries randomly placed in a bag - these pickups worked for us: - Chocolate Roll: yum! - Apple-carrot Muffin: yum yum, and still soft! - Spinach Feta Danish: a great savoury treat! Note: for those of you with kids: they have giant Smarties-based cookies for $2.75! === 3. SERVICE It's great and patient, and full of recommendations. What more could you ask for! === 4. ENVIRONMENT A dim, aged interior awaits you - but it's really just enough space for you to walk in and admire the offerings in a couple of display cases while watching the staff behind the counter whip up more bakery delights. You could bring wheelchairs and baby strollers in here, but there would not be much room for anyone else during your visit. Parking is best found on one of the nearby streets - be careful not to park in the lot in the back, which is reserved for the cafe and other businesses next door.

Patisserie Daniel, is a bakery worth checking out…read more The temptations are numerous. When you walk in, the smell of bread & pastries will have you immediately pull out your wallet, or should I say cell!? There's plenty of baked goodies here - bread, pastries, pies, cakes, with gluten & vegetarian options available. Great service & comfort in this cozy bakery. Come prepared to grab & go. I got the a Peach & a Berry Tart. Both were on point top notch. For Victoria, I'm going to rank this a close second to Crust Bakery - see my review. Now there may be more out there in greater Victoria as I continue to explore, so do stay tuned.

Absolutely loved this place! Working Culture Bread was one of the highlights of my trip to…read moreVictoria. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and everything we ordered was so well done. The orange latte was incredible...bright, slightly citrusy, and perfectly balanced with the espresso. It's one of those drinks you think about long after it's gone. I also had the breakfast sandwich, and it was everything I wanted: fresh bread (obviously), high-quality ingredients, and really satisfying without being heavy. You can tell this place is run by people who care deeply about their craft. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Highly recommend!

Went here around 11 AM and there was already a long line out the door. I ordered the breakfast…read moresandwich, which is only served from 9 AM to 12 PM. They have three options: vegetarian, vegan, and one with meat. I went with the one that has meat, and my friend got the vegan one. I also grabbed one of the savory danishes and an oatmeal cookie latte (yes, that's a thing, and yes, it sounded too good to skip). My order took a little while, but that made sense given how long the line was. I got my drink first, then the sandwich came out a few minutes later. The first bite was amazing. Super flavorful. The bread was soft and tasted fresh. I tried a few bites of my friend's vegan sandwich too, and honestly, it might've been even better than mine. How is vegan food this good?? I had the danish later at home and it was really good too. Can't wait to go back. I want to try the vegetarian sandwich next time and maybe pick up some of their cool merch.

Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5…read moreFood: 5/5 Overall: 5/5 Love this spot! My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick bite in the morning and decided that a bagel is what we were craving. We got here around 10 on a Tuesday morning and only had to wait for a minute or so as one person in the store grabbed their items (only one person is allowed inside at a time because of social distancing protocols) The bagels were all in bins behind the counter and they had a bunch of cream cheese options in a fridge as well. We decided to go with three bagels: an everything bagel, cheese bagel, and cinnamon bagel. For cream cheese we did the basil & garlic for a savoury kick and honey vanilla to go with our sugary bagel. Everything was delicious! You could tell the bagels were made fresh today and the cream cheese was super good as well! As for service, the lady at the counter was really nice (even as we stood there debating bagel options for a bit) and recommended cream cheese options for us to go with the bagels. Overall, an awesome lil spot to grab bagels - we will definitely be back!
