Excellent croissants, organic breads and sandwiches. I saw muffins, cinnamon buns and tarts as…read morewell but didn't try them. 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.

Great selection and service! Location is easily accessible.read more

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.

What an incredibly petty individual. We had called to get on a list for baguettes for the 24th. The…read moreperson we spoke to checked to make sure that they had enough, and they confirmed that we were good to go. Then 20 minutes later we get called back by someone else who is now taking us off the list! No baguettes! Rather than extend their invented rule and 'slightly' inconvenience the store, the customer who did everything correct loses out. The store screwed up, but the customer pays for it. Will never return and will tell others of your poor service.

This is a charming little cafe on a corner street. Have pastries, pizzas, and plenty more. Their…read morecoffee is decent. Space is somewhat limited but that's why the "little" in charming little cafe. Lol! I always crave for apple crumble is the fall. It's along Cook St so you can stroll along the different stores, restaurants, and markets that line the street. They have internet and parking is available on the street for a limited time like everywhere in Victoria.

TLDR: staff were extremely hostile and discriminatory towards my elderly (70+) parents, shamed…read morethem, and threatened them (Cook Street Village location). If I could give zero or negative stars I would. Myself and my elderly folks went in today for snacks, and my mom got a cookie that tasted really bad. When my dad went up to the counter to inquire about exchanging it, the girl at the counter shamed him, saying she would personally NEVER return a cookie because she didn't like how it tasted and made him feel really bad. She then refused to do anything about it. My dad came back to our table upset, as the girl was very hostile towards him. When he went back up to ask to speak to the owner regarding the situation, he was told that the owner "would not be wasting his time talking to us." It got to the point that I had to ask the counter staff to please stop yelling at my elderly parents. The guy who was working behind the counter came out all puffed up and got in my dad's face and told us to "GET THE F*** OUT!!". They then threatened to call the police on us. As we were leaving, the counter girl said sarcastically "have a GREAT day, you crazy customers" or something derogatory like that. We have never been treated like that by any counter staff ever, and we were in shock and disbelief. And if this is how the owner really feels about his customers...that we are a waste of time...this is likely the root of the problems this place has. NEVER again going back. Just...wow.

Best gluten free bread. Even better than this bakery that I accidentally found in Indianapolis…read more They ferment their dough for 18 hours and you get this sour, chewy flavor. I would also recommend their cinnamon rolls and brownies. Cookies are blah. Highly recommend that you pick up a loaf of the bread, it is worth the trip.

Incredible gluten free bread, breakfast and lunch spot. As a gluten free baker, I am astounded by…read morethe quality of the breads. I had a bacon egg breakfast sandwich on a kaiser roll with vegan cheese, and my daughter had a Reuben with homemade sauerkraut, mustard, and cheese. Both were just incredible! The majority of their breads are sourdough style, and GF sourdough is not easy to make. We had to try the sausage roll, wow, a little spicy, nice texture. Everything is made with care and love. Small space, limited seating. Be patient, it's worth the wait. Like many of their visitors, we had to get something to go. We chose the cinnamon sourdough loaf, and shared it with friends the next day. It toasted up great with breakfast! Please support this family owned, small business. There's something for everyone, whether or not you are gluten free. Just healthy, tasty, wholesome food.

A friend told me about this bakery's bread - saying it's amazing. Dropped by yesterday to get a…read morebaguette which I feel was quite expensive at $6.50. This morning after physio I picked up one of their pain au chocolats- this was DIVINE!! This almost makes up for the expensive baguette - do people realize in France you can get a perfectly delicious baguette for just over a euro! So it seems a bit crazy that in Canada decent bread has to cost so much. But definitely check out the pain au chocolat!!

I really enjoyed our stop here. I've got a food allergy to corn so bakery bread which usually…read moredoesn't have modified food starch or corn starch is a go to for me. The person at the counter kindly looked up the ingredients for the french bread and I bought a day old loaf and some cheese and onion rolls. Both purchases were delicious! I use the bread for toast at my hotel. Absolutely delicious bread. Service was kind and quick and the store is cute. I wish I lived here so I could buy more.

I purchased a sprouted grain loaf that was not fully cooked inside. The interior was gummy and…read moredoughy. When I brought this to the bakery's attention, I was told they had forgotten to put the bread in the riser. Consuming undercooked bread poses a food safety risk, so this was disappointing.

Four stars because the service was pretty good but food was inconsistent. They open at 9 but…read morebecause this is more of an up-and-coming hipster area, they didn't open till 905 so we went around the corner to a different pastry shop while we were waiting for them to open. This is a Vancouver chain. They have another location I believe on the mainland, but we went in because my mom likes to eat vegan for breakfast menu items so we saw a photo of their jackfruit breakfast platter and when we ordered it, it did not look anything like the photo and it tasted very bad. The TLDR here is get a coffee. You can skip their Matcha because it's a little expensive and not that good (way over milked) and definitely get their pretzel because it was a phenomenal. The salad dine in was HUGE bigger than their to go (so that's a hack). The atmosphere is really cute. I really like all their bright colors. It is self service.

I had a shredded chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and a hibiscus iced tea with cane sugar, which were both excellent. Got an Italian cinnamon roll for someone that I was told was also wonderful.- The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Taylor who made perfect recommendations on both the food and drinks. Highly recommend a visit!

There was no line up when we got in but I did notice a queue once we were inside. It's a cool spot! People rave about this place for the gelato and pastries and they're not wrong! It's tasty! Secured some of the goods, we got a croissant, lavender shortbread, cruffin, carrot cake and I also bought some coffee beans. The pistachio gelato was the highlight. They also have a fridge filled with some ravioli and soups etc! Good idea highly recommend this spot! Plus they have tons of parking spots
