We have enjoyed picking up our bake goods from here for many years, but recently in the past 6 months we have noticed a change. It's not a good change at all, we have found some of the baked goods to be stale, found mold on the fruit buns and witnessed the short blond individual not using tongs while putting donuts out on the window display. That really turned us off, as everyone else used tongs. I can only assume is the related to the owners, plus we have noticed portions are smaller and some items looking not as fresh as before. The ambiance has changed and we miss the previous owners or parents that ran this bakery and enjoyed better goods in the past. It's sad when quality is gone. read more

This bakery was recommended, based on the awesome Nanaimo bars they have. Of course I had to try a few more things like mince tarts and butter tarts and fritter. The mince tart was delicious, and loaded with filling. Possibly the best Nanaimo bars I've had. Saving the butter tart for last later today. The prices are good here too. It was busy around the middle of the day, and apparently sometimes the lineup is down the street. It could be dangerous to live close to this bakery, ha ha. read more

Amazing staff! Everyone was kind and the line moved fast and the prices were great. I highly recommend the pizza pretzel and the cream cheese muffin. We had a variety of treats we ordered and everything was delicious. read more

Wow options the store front is a treat for the eyes and the service quick and efficient. Inside has even more yummy choices.

My oh my! So much to choose from!!! Yum! My husband found this gem and we ended taking delicious baked good for the day, the next day, and some home for later! There was way too much to choose from, but, we forced ourselves... LOL! They even have a wrack od "day old" near the door, now that brings back memories from my childhood. Cookies, donuts, bread, quick breads... My husband's favorite is their blueberry pound cake. I had to take a bag of assorted items to try! read more

I have been going out of my way to purchase the Apple fritters here for the past 2 years. On 3 separate occasions this month, the Apple fritters had a horrible burned and bitter oily taste. Extremely disappointed . Bright side, I will be able to stick to my diet now as I will no longer be wasting my time at the Sidney Bakery. read more

Been going here for years. Great doughnuts and dainishes. Picked up a few items a couple of weeks ago. The cream horn was seriously moldy!! Luckily I had cut it first so I didn't have to experience that. Wrote two emails to the contact person, Mike, no reply. Shameful. So now I am posting a bad review. read more

A community icon. The lineup's outside testify to the wonders inside. Nothing pretentious inside but the friendly staff have always served me very well. We've ordered their delicious pies and cakes for special occasions and our guests have raved about them. Thank you for being here Sidney Bakery! read more

Sidney is a town near water and it would be a town I want to retire in. Every passerby must be in their 70's. This cool bakery reminds me a little bit of Britain. Pasty pies. Very cool place. Salmon Sausage rolls and all kinds of rolls (mushroom, beef, etc), donut as big as your face. Everybody knows everybody. Or they come in for their morning fix. read more

Robust bakery, near the Sidney/Anacortes ferry line. We were there mid-morning, and the selection was starting to dwindle. In-laws ordered boring doughnuts, but I wanted to try more local offerings: Spicy Beef Roll and Ham & Cheese Croissant. They do not gently reheat the savory items, as some places do, so expect to eat everything at room temperature. My vote would be for the croissant. Beef roll was surprisingly mundane, and not spicy at all. Counter folks seemed mostly pleasant, but if you get the baker/owner waiting on you in line, you better know what you want. He got pretty curt with our ladies who were having trouble deciding, and then tried to laugh it off when he saw their eyebrow-raised faces. With baked goods four doors down from your establishment and right across the street, it might be wise to be a little more patient with the el touristos, who are not familiar with your place when they walk in the door... read more

Best long running bakery since I was a kid! Best glazed donuts and pastries, huge variety, friendly service! Must try in Sidney, BC!!

The most wonderful, fresh donuts and pastries. Always a huge assortment of fresh items and great deals on day old items. Stop in early and try something new (jelly donut today) or pick up an old favorite, like a maple bar or apple fritter, before they sell out for the day! read more

Was passing through this quaint little town and discovered Sidney Bakery. One of the things that caught my eye through the window was their jelly donuts! (0.75) They were very airy and not too greasy surprisingly and had some super tasty raspberry filling! Also tried some of their cheese buns (0.55). These were, unlike the Superstore or Safeway variety, very airy as well and super crispy with strong cheese flavourings. Also tried their apple over (2.00) but found it to be more pastry than filling. The manager is very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Was also kind of cool that they had an autograph from THE David Tennant! read more

I was drawn in by the number of people here and the sweets in the displays at the front - donuts, cookies and breads galore! We bought things here every day during our stay in Sidney and the prices are very reasonable (3.50 and under for loaves of bread, 0.60-1.50 for cookies and whoopie pies, and similar prices for the donuts depending on type and size). Great selection of in house baked sweets - there'll be something to suit most tastes! I found the breads a touch dry, but I was a fan of their sweets. The apple pie was delicious and I have to admit that I got their red velvet cookie more than once! read more

So I'm obsessed. This whole lot was $20 the most expensive were the pizza bagels at $3 rounded up each. The mini lemon squares are so good, cream puffs are a+ and generally everything from here is great. Only downside it's a small place definitely to go and not dine in. The racks in the middle make it hard to get to the tills and get out. Overall great experience though. read more

This place is jam packed with baked goods. It's a walk in, decide, and take your stuff and go as there is no place to sit. We bought a couple products and we didn't find them to be overly magnificent, nor overly fresh. With the amount of stuff they make the result is that their products are just ok, It's a volume bakery, not a boutique bakery, so if you want a treat that's similar quality to grocery store bakeries, this is a place you will be satisfied with. Counter personnel were friendly and answered allergy questions well. read more

Highly recommend to anyone visiting the island. Just a short drive from Swartz Bay terminal and definitely worth a stop. The donuts, scones, croissants, and cheese bread were all delicious. Great prices, great service, and great food! read more

The glazed doughnuts are second to none, this place is so consistent its not funny, rush to go there they are deserving

My favorite Sidney business. I'd buy there every day but then I'd look like a donut.

Your typical small town bakery. Busy with locals and visitors. At times, feels a tad unorganized. Baked goods are showcased behind a glass window enticing passerbys to come in for a sweet treat peek. There's a lot of options. Not sure quality of everything when there's so much, but prices are so reasonable you can taste test a few goodies. Not quite sure why this place is so crazy popular. It's your average no-fancy fuss bakery in seaside Sidney with not a whole lot of competition. I think for nostalgic purposes it's a walk down memory lane for many a local folk. Yes it does remind me of the humble ma + pa local bakery around the corner from my childhood home. Sidney Bakery is simple old school. Their signature fritter donuts were big, moist and chewy with mouthfuls of apples not overly sweet but tad greasy. Overall I find it's good but nothing spectacular. 3.5/5 read more

I've been to this bakery several times and am disappointed every time. They are always curt - I get that it's busy, but you still have to provide friendly customer service. Also, I'm not sure why people rave about their baked goods as they're very mediocre - I'm guessing it's because they're the only bakery in Sidney. I would very much rather go the small extra distance to Fickle Fig, Tonolli's or MOSI. read more

This is a friendly, cheap, expansive bakery located in the heart of Sidney. They have everything from cookies to cakes to breads to meat pies. For a cheap, yummy snack in Sidney, head here! read more

Oh my goodness!!!! This is a bakery loving girls dream come true. This bakery has so many sweet options as well as fresh breads. I got a few of a bunch of sweets and absolutely loved them all. The sweet and salty caramel cookie is so delish. You have to visit this place if your in the area and have a sweet-tooth, I highly recommend it!! read more

Loved this place before I even picked out anything. Lady greeted me and showed me all the greats, went through breads and goodies explaining each. Ended up with some amazing sourdough bread made this morning. Came back later for chocolate treats, tart, and chocolate coconut mound. Oh so good! Loved everything and thank you for hospitality and info. read more

Hands down the best bakery I've ever been to. There's nothing fancy about its appearance, but that shouldn't deter you. It's exactly what a bakery should be: clean, bustling, and stuffed with excellent baked goods. I bought an Empress cookie, having no clue what exactly that entailed, but the lady behind the counter explained it to me without complaint. Essentially, it's two soft shortbread cookies with raspberry jam in the middle and icing on top. From this experience, I can say that it's my new favorite cookie. The shortbread cookies are perfectly buttery and flaky, the raspberry jam is fresh and sweet and tastes homemade, and the icing adds a sugary sweet that in now way overpowers the rest of the cookie. I promptly turned around and bought four more, as well as a vanilla French macaron, which was also a first experience for me, and was also amazing - crisp exterior, airy interior, and a soft, sweet filling. Go here. Maybe the US just has generally poor bakeries, but in my opinion, this place is amazing. read more

Really disappointed, was looking forward to trying the goodies here. It is closed from Dec 25 until Jan 2. I tried to contact them before I got here but no response to my email. The yelp account and website were not updated either. read more

I wanted 3 Christmas treat trays for my doctor, dentist and accountant. Went in on a Saturday, gave them a budget and ordered them for Monday afternoon. What an awesome job they did. If I had bought the individual pieces, I'm guessing it would have been double the cost. This little local shop is always busy for a reason. Very happy with the order and service. read more

I cruised by this little small town bakery when taking a trip through Sidney going up north from Victoria. Something sweet to go with my coffee sounded like a great idea and Yelp brought this place up. From the good reviews I thought how could I go wrong. This is a very small hole in the wall place that has that small town family business vibe to it. As soon as you walk in the place, the aroma of fresh pastries hits you. Going from some of the other reviewers, I decided to try the big huge red velvet (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sidney-bakery-sidney?select=X9Gc5oEBTNK5t-KeMCbiRw) cookie, which was priced really cheap. One thing to note is that the staff here have no clue whats in any of the pastries. I tried to ask them what kind of nuts or ingredients they use for certain items and they were unable to tell me. This is a bad idea for anyone who has extreme allergies. Unfortunately after walking out and taking a bite, it wasn't very good. The cookie was very dry and brittle almost falling apart in the bag. It did not taste fresh really and lacked sweetness. It was like eating a bland pastry because there wasn't really any taste of red velvet to it. Maybe they baked a bad batch of cookies that day, but I ended up tossing it out before even eating half of it. Usually I'm a fan of Canadian stuff because they don't go overboard on the sugar, but this cookie just wasn't really good at all. read more

I was brought up in this store! The best melt in your mouth donuts ever! This bakery is the cornerstone of Sidney. Fresh Daily, great prices and friendly local owners. read more

We love the Sidney Bakery! We would come in by our boat to Port Sidney Marina or by Ferry and we absolutely love this place. The people are super friendly, the Sausage rolls are very very good. The favorite part for my kid's is the huge, Big Foot Maple Bars that are bigger than the size of your face! What a fun spot to stop in and try some delicious baked goods. I' am considering a road trip from Seattle to go back to this bakery, about 3-4 hours including drive time and ferry. What a great place. read more

Great little bakery! Coming from someone who knows her breads and buns. Fruit bars, cheese sticks, cinnamon buns, fruity bready buns, muffins - all num nummm! It's worth the $72 ferry ride from Vancouver to Victoria... =P read more

Must have something sweet while in Sidney after having a delicious meal at Bistro Suisse. Bought a coconut macaroon and a red velvet cookie. The coconut macaroon was super fresh and delicious. I could eat a lot of those! Sadly the red velvet cookie was sweet but not chocolatey or any other discernible flavour other than sweet. Lots of other delicious goodies worth trying! read more

Went here on the recommendation of a co-worker. Most amazing donuts! Just had a long john and it's everything a donut should be - slightly crisp from perfect frying, a nice long size (9" or so) with luscious chocolate frosting. The best donut I've had in a long time. Worth the drive from Victoria! Might have to make coming here a tradition. read more

The stuff is very fresh and good, I spent $7 and got a bunch of baked doughnuts and treats!

The chocolate covered doughnuts are to die for, so fudgy and delicious. The only probem is they often run out early. Screw baking the other crap. Just make the doughnuts! read more

Charming old-fashioned bakery. Reasonable prices. My kids had a hard time deciding between the many, many options.

Their sweet treats are awesome and very well priced. However - and this is odd for a bakery - their bread is mediocre. I have tried almost all their bread types and found them to be bland. read more

Tried an apple pie, which should be standard fare for any small hometown bakery. The pie crust was fine but the filling was bland, a bit gooey and lacked the usual spices (cinnamon and/or nutmeg). Even the factory-made pies at the Save-on-Foods supermarket at the other end of Beacon Avenue are better! read more
