Their breakfast sandwich is fresh and delicious and they also have a tons of island food goods. They are known for their coffee and they also sells the coffee beans there. They do have sitting both inside and outdoor and if you have a dog, you could sit with your dog in their patio. They also have a small goat farm there that you can go see. The goats are cute and nice. We will definitely come back when visiting the island again.

The spinach and whipped feta egg sandwich was mind-blowing. I scarfed it down before I got a photo. Went back a few days later and they had a different selection. Got the egg sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, and sun-dried tomato spread and it did not disappoint. Cute little shop to order to-go and friendly service- it's Canada, everyone is friendly eh.

We have enjoyed picking up our bake goods from here for many years, but recently in the past 6…read moremonths we have noticed a change. It's not a good change at all, we have found some of the baked goods to be stale, found mold on the fruit buns and witnessed the short blond individual not using tongs while putting donuts out on the window display. That really turned us off, as everyone else used tongs. I can only assume is the related to the owners, plus we have noticed portions are smaller and some items looking not as fresh as before. The ambiance has changed and we miss the previous owners or parents that ran this bakery and enjoyed better goods in the past. It's sad when quality is gone.

This is the second time we stopped here for breakfast on our way from Victoria Island to Vancouver…read more We ordered breakfast then picked up some bakery items for the ferry ride and trip to Vancouver. It's a cute little restaurant/bakery/store before catching the ferry to or from Vancouver. The smashed baked potatoes are crispy and nicely seasoned. They had gf bread to accompany my eggs and bacon. At the bakery we purchased a couple gf cookies and a couple of regular ones. The lemon gf cookie was delicious ~ soft and lemony.

At least you can pick which wines you want to try. Wine bottles are $16.00 to $30.00. - Tasting ($5.00) - big red rooster, petillant naturel, highland bramble and sweet ginger. Best of the four was the pet-nat. Ginger port was decent. Did not like the big red rooster or the highland bramble (unrefined, rough, needed to be airated). Seems the older folk come here for the bistro's sandwiches. Wouldn't go out of the way to visit.

A hidden gem on the scenic road to Butchart Gardens and the city's observatory…read more Unique and delicious treats and drinks. 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!

I was not expecting…read morevery much as I was visiting the winery for wine and spirits so I was looking for some quick food to hit the spot. I stumbled on these chocolate chip cookies which were a bit pricey at the winery. $7/bag but the ingredients were what made me purchase them. They are made with all organic ingredients and cane sugar/minimal ingredients. I'm so happy with my purchase as they tasted home made/fresh. I can't wait to share them with my family but hope to be able to purchase them on the mainland (Vancouver)!
