Cakey donut that's hard to beat…read more That's the texture of the donuts here. There's not too many places that do this style, and the price is right. Very affordable. Friendly chap running this place. Small amount of seating inside - max maybe 8 peeps. Basically a to go place.

We stopped by here while driving back from the Whistler area to Vancouver…read more A friend had recommended this spot to us as a nice spot to take a driving break and refuel - and clearly a lot of other people had the same idea, as it was pretty packed! A few people had laptops and books out and appeared quite settled in at the few tables inside. There was plenty of additional seating in the outdoor patio though, so we were able to quickly grab two seats. Service was super friendly. FOOD // We got a 12oz latte and a maple walnut donut to share. The donut was delicious - so fluffy! - and the latte was also made well, balanced and a good accompaniment to the donut. If we weren't so full, I would've been tempted to get another donut... Next time!

A must-stop spot for anyone visiting Nanaimo! You can't go to Nanaimo without trying a classic…read moreNanaimo bar, and Red's Bakery is the perfect place to grab this iconic treat. We also picked up the banana cheesecake, and it was packed with banana flavour. It was definitely a great choice for banana lovers. Everything is ready to go and nicely packed, making it super convenient for a quick dessert stop. Service was fast and friendly. The bakery has a few tables inside, but if they are full, you can enjoy your treats outside or head across the street to the Vancouver Island Regional Library, where there are benches that make a nice little dessert break spot. A simple, convenient, and delicious stop to experience a true Nanaimo classic!

I totally loved this place. They were so friendly and the donuts were perfect. I mean, I kept…read moretrying to think of a suggestion for improvement but I just can't. The glazed is not overly sweet and the yeasty texture is just right. Also went for a bacon maple donut and it is like a meal by itself. Totally a fan. Go a little out of your way because it's worth it.

Amazing! Their donuts are top tier and probably among the…read morebest I have ever had - fresh and delicious. lots of interesting flavours - but even their honey dip are next level. their cinnamon buns are also epic. I do not live near Courtney but have considered flying in just to get some of the donuts and cinnamon buns. Anyone who goes to the area I highly recommend stopping in. The only possible negative aspect is the limited hours of operation and that there is always a line up. But the line up is cause they are so good that hordes of people go and not cause of slow service. They also have great beverage selection both hot and cold. Their London Fog is in my top 5 and I consider myself a London Fog addict. I am glad I do not live near by cause I would end up being like 400lbs if I had easy access to it. So good. I would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could.

Was a 3star but added a star for the cool style of the place, the quality coffee and the windows to…read morewatch them make donuts. Good donuts. Not excellent or near the hype. They are prolly better and definitely more interesting than Tim Hortons. I see a bigger jump in the local ice cream shops than with Bigfoot and other donuts. The dough needs to hit this light and fluffy sweet spot for me. Maybe I was spoiled on other spectacular specialty donut shops so I'm a harder sell. Good quick service and long lines everyone else thinks they are the bomb so you should def try it out. And I'll retry them again and update this review depending on how it goes.

Oh my gosh the timbits were like eating candy the glaze must for been double dipped? I had wanted the farmers wrap but they were out of that type of wrap. I really enjoyed the wrap I ordered. It had a egg with grilled or maybe fried hash browns with some kind of 1000 island sauce. Loved it. The tea comes sweeten or unsweetened and if you are looking for a non carbonated drink this will get the job done. The lid is interesting too see photo. A great place for a road trip breakfast.
