We're big fans of their rye bread!! For those who are hesitant about sourdough or rye, please give it a chance - it will change your mind.Also, we had amazing croissants - both savory and sweet! But you have to be in line by 9:30 am sharp to get them!!!

Absolutely adore this place and rhe gentleman who runs it. Always amazing! I especially live rhe Korean twist. I AM CRAZY for their red bean paste ANYTHINGS! And don't get me started on the kimchi pastries. Yesterday he was so sweet and gave us his coconut mango pudding ro try for free (loved it by the way) hands down amazing. Beautiful

I like the savory croissants. Get there early! They sell out fast.

This is a truly amazing place. The baked goods are on a par with European bakeries, the croissants are amazing and fresh. The coffee is really good too, one of the best in the Cowichan Valley for sure. The ambiance is cozy and warm and Daniel and the lady who makes the coffee are very friendly. This is a great place for coffee and a pastry, but get here early as the pastries sell out quickly!

I would like to give a 0 rating; ordered a birthday cake from here & paid $40 for it. When we tasted the cake, it tasted horrible. Didn't have any sweetness in it. So we thought that maybe the bakery forgot to put sugar in the icing and so we took it back and told them the issue. They became all defensive and said that's how they make the cake with fresh cream and chocolate and no sugar. Apparently, healthy cake!! The icing was bitter and the cake was bland. I asked them if they can fix the cake as I had only cut a piece and when I was placing the order they had never told that the cake will not be sweet. They started arguing and being super rude. They did not give me another cake or refund. I left the cake at the shop and came away. I will never go back there. Don't ever order a cake from this place!! It's horrible!!

The croissants are buttery perfection. Crispy, oily perfection. The breakfast croissant is absolutely everything you want it to be. Cheesy, meaty, juicy, flavourful. The alleyway entrance is shady in the morning which is nice in the Summer and comfortable sitting inside as well. Drip and iced coffee is available. :)

Wow!! Very nice pastries and they taste so good!! Expensive but really worth it!! The picture is after I took a bite!

We dropped into the bakery on the off chance and were pleasant surprised with the two bakery items we bought. Only two because they were already sold out of everything else. The baking was delicious even though the ingredients were an usual combination - red bean with coconut croissant but the memory of the taste has still not left me ( in a good way). The other item was gingerbread cookie, again nothing like I've ever tasted before but delicious.
