Salad was great and Pizzas were both delicious- we had the Margherita and Pepperoni. Dough was light and fluffy and wonderfully crispy with a little char from the wood fired oven. Loved them both. Local white wines were both really nice on a warm day, as was the Cider. Chocolate Cake and Berry pie with homemade crust were both as if grandma had made them. If we're ever on Vancouver Island again we'd come back no question.

As my wife said, A great find. No recent reviews here so I figured I'd better let folks know they…read moreare still around, and still great! Amazing scone, got us thinking we gotta try baking some ourselves, and the curry meat pie was very flavorful. We are also taking leftover mango chutney home it's that good. Oh yes lattes also great in fun big cups, and friendly staff. We sat in the couch by the big window so we could watch parents and kiddos walking to school. A great hip cafe in Duncan, who knew :)

El Centro was a (warm) breath of fresh air when it opened at Christmas Kick Off last winter and…read morecontinues to breathe new life into the gently-building Downtown Duncan cafe scene. Though I tried one of their local/organic gourmet paninis on opening night, I have since limited my tastings to wine and dessert (what can you do?). My take on the one-time panini - a bit pricey for the portion, but absolutely fresh and well-presented on a thick wooden serving board. I also had a hot apple cider that night that melted the winter wind right out of me and perfectly captured the quality, spice, and cozy atmosphere they were going for - it even had a creme on top! Things you must know about El Centro: it's an urban getaway in a cup (turn your eyes away from the quiet street and you could be in Tokyo, Barcelona, or XXX *fill in with name of favourite chic minimalist cosmopolitan cafe city); they have a growing wine list (I shared a memorable bottle of Avrill Creek Somenoes Red with some old friends not long ago ... looking forward to the next one); and their cheesecake is served in a jar. Cheesecake. In a jar. How cute does it get - no, wait - it gets BETTER ... because they warm it up for you, too. They also do live music quite often and host other fun things, but I'll leave this simple for those who wander in during the day. Go. Try the cheesecake.

We LOVE Hanks!!!…read more When we arrived just a little before 9am on a Saturday morning, there were about 10 people ahead of us and about another 5 waiting for their order. The place is truly a bakery haven! They have so much stuff, from croissants, quiches, pies, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cookies, breads, danishes, scones, cakes, etc! We found it so difficult to choose but went with their sausage rolls, quiche and latte. The staff were so friendly and wearing their beautiful warm smiles. We drove out to Mill Bay and had our breakfast by the water, it was magical with the sunshine. LOVED the sausage roll; so moist and flavourful. The pastry was so flaky and I'm not even kidding when I say I wanna go back again tomorrow!!! The quiche was also delicious. It had lots of potatoes and was very filling. Again, the pastry was delicious. The latte was also nutty and velvety! Such a beautiful experience! Parking was tight but we found one shortly after we arrived. Hanks have parking stalls reserved for its customers, so be sure to check and park at the right spot. It is free.
