What's best is you can eat them in almost any way - savory or sweet, as the "bread" of a sandwich or as a side unto themselves - pretty much however you like! My wife got their breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, and bacon w mayo) in a touton, and it's now tied for my favorite way to have a breakfast sandwich; the touton makes the sandwich so much richer, crispier, and chewier, it's unbelievable! Whatever you order, make sure it includes a touton. You won't regret it! Also, their home-made jam is much better than anything you'll find in the nearby supermarkets. Lastly, make sure you bring cash or have a debit card, because they don't do credit cards!

A lot of people like it here but it's not my type of food. On the expensive side for what you get.read more

I waited while they made a fresh urn, and they must have done something wrong because the 'coffee' that we were served was coffee-scented hot water. I've never dumped a coffee before this one.

Several nights a week this operates as a restaurant called Fork with a different menu. Smells like bacon at lunch. Clean, bright, spotless and incredible view. Across the bay from ecological reserve for puffins - hoping to see some fly by! :) Friendly service, helpful with allergies. Perhaps a bit absentminded. Everything seems to be scratch made including the desserts. Naturally given the aroma there was a lot of bacon ordered at our table. Tasty BLT on fresh bread. Tangy lemon coconut square. Edit: washrooms - must deposit used toilet paper into a garbage can. Foot pedal on the garbage can does not work so you must use your hands to open it.

We swung by in the early afternoon, just after the lunch crowd at most places would be easing off, but Bannerman was impressively going strong from when we arrived through to our departure! We were seated at one of their picnic-esque tables near the back of the room, taking in the high ceilings and the lovely work done to reuse this historic fire hall. I snagged a half pint of one of their light and refreshing lagers, while my wife partook in their caffeinated offerings. It's nice to be able to get both, and the warm, communal feeling of the space was a nice contrast to the cold and clinical vibe that can sometimes come with Third Wave places. Wanting to refuel after a dizzying hike on the North Head Trail, we ordered the mushroom flatbread, steamed buns, and pierogis. My wife's mushroom flatbread arrived first, with the not-pizza leaning heavily into savoury, earthy flavours with sauteed, locally harvested mushrooms, shaved truffles, and smoked gouda. While I fundamentally disagree with arugula being on pizzas and their brethren, its peppery bite helped cut through the otherwise rich flatbread. While I certainly shared my two apps, I was glad to have them mostly to myself! The food in general isn't inexpensive at Bannerman and $17 for two steamed buns was a bit of a pill to swallow, but the quality was thankfully there to back its price tag. Succulent, shredded pork was jam-packed into the pleasantly-chewy, folded buns, and topped with the contrasting tastes and textures of slices of white onion, crispy onions, and micro greens. The pierogi of the day had a lentil filling, and the savoury legumes lent themselves well to these deep-fried dumplings. The ultra-crispy exterior easily gave way to the doughy interior and the lentils within. Almost stealing the show was the onion confit sour cream, whose velvety smooth airiness had the perfect amount of caramelized onion flavour. Bannerman could/should sell this stuff on its own! Even after just one visit, it's easy to see how Bannerman's combination of craft beer,top-notch coffee, creative bites, and a beautiful space in an award-winning adaptive reuse has made for a place that's more than the sum of its parts, and has become a destination for locals and tourists alike.
