A very popular bakery in downtown Victoria, and it's easy to see why. We stopped by for pastries…read moreand coffee. The shop itself is quite small, with only couple seats along the wall. Everything in the display case looked delicious, but we decided on the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry, the pistachio ganash tart and the pork & fennel sausage roll. The pistachio tart was fresh with a rich nutty flavor, though it took a little finesse to eat because the filling kept wanting to spill out. My favorite was the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry. It was flaky, with a delicate sweetness from the fruits and a subtle floral note from the rosewater. You can really taste the dedication in these pastries. I'd recommend going early in the day as many of their items tend to sell out quick.

We bought a cake here for my mom's 70th birthday and were so impressed! We chose the "Crusty…read moreForest"--their take on a Black Forest cake--and it was absolutely delectable. What we loved most was that it wasn't overly sweet. It had a wonderful, strong fruit component from the cherries that balanced perfectly with the chocolate and a light, thin layer of whipped cream. The cake itself was incredibly moist and executed with such care. It was a total hit for the celebration! I only wish we lived in Victoria so this could become our regular go-to spot for special occasion cakes.

I got their brown butter coffee pecan but their selection was so lovely and extensive that I had the worst time deciding. I was told by the cashier that their brown butter coffee pecan was a popular choice and I can see why. It's sugary and the pecans give it a slight crunch. It's a great doughnut. A must if you're in Victoria!

This place is a gem! Cute little bakery shop with delicious sweet and savory items. We tried the…read moretraditional Filipino sweet bread but with grated cheese on top, the ham and cheese pastry, and the Ube roll (looks like a flower). All three were yummy, but my favorite was the Filipino sweet bread with the cheese on top. It was sweet, savory, and buttery all at the same time - so good! They offered to warm it up, too, which is their suggestion before eating. It's run by a husband and wife who are really lovely people. We talked for a bit and their warmth and genuinely reflects what their business signs state: "Together we can 'bake' the world a better place." It's a small place so there are only a few seats, but that's okay for a quick bite and rest. Otherwise everyone gets it to go. We got there right at a good time because after our order, a TON of people came in. One lady even said, "This is the place." It's located in Victoria's Chinatown, right at the end of the literal Fan Tan Alley. Try it!

We picked up couple of the ube pastries and pandan pastry. The breads are soft and fluffy, just what you'd expect from Asian style pastries. While I wish the flavors are stronger, these are still solid snacks, especially considering how affordable they are. If you're planning to try out some of their more popular items, come early as they tend to sell out.

This is right outside the Public Market and has plenty of street parking on and around the block. From the get go, amazing ambiance - bright, colorful infused with wooden interiors makes you take notice. A very innovative menu makes it hard to not try more than you planned on. Service is fast and the staff is friendly. We had the below items and can't wait to be back to try more on their menu. It seems they do refresh their menu quite a bit and the current menu is definitely bomb! 1. Hong Kong style Pork Sandwich - 12/10, amazing favors, very nicely done! 2. Savory Poptart - 10/10, light, flake, buttery, melt in the mouth 3. Mandarin Day Dream from their Signature Drinks - Drink of my dreams. I will dream of it until I can have it again and I hope they do not drop it from the menu until then. Such a innovative and well balanced drink - 20/10, must try!! We need you here in the U.S. Whoever is dishing out these creative menu items (signature drinks & the sandwiches) needs a raise!
