They have an actual wood fired oven here which lends a certain extra special something to the breads in particular. The croissants are good but not the best. Is still out then in my top 10 though, which is pretty good. I was a little disappointed in my London Fog, which I thought was made with more fog than tea, but this is a bakery and not a coffee shop so I don't fault them too much for that. All in all, a worth while visit. I will return.

We ordered a bread loaf at Fol Epi to take home as we've been before and loved it. This time we got the French loaf, it's not full sourdough but still fresh as can be and crusty exterior. I also got an iced vanilla matcha which was delish. We also ordered two danish style cheese pastry wheel things, my only criticism was the cheese was quite cook so it's more of a crunch pastry than a soft one with also a hint of mustard. Service was quick and very nice! Staff was chatty. No pics because we ate everything real fast lol.

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.

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.

I only wish we lived in Victoria so this could become our regular go-to spot for special occasion cakes.

If I could give zero or negative stars I would. Myself and my elderly folks went in today for snacks, and my mom got a cookie that tasted really bad. When my dad went up to the counter to inquire about exchanging it, the girl at the counter shamed him, saying she would personally NEVER return a cookie because she didn't like how it tasted and made him feel really bad. She then refused to do anything about it. My dad came back to our table upset, as the girl was very hostile towards him. When he went back up to ask to speak to the owner regarding the situation, he was told that the owner "would not be wasting his time talking to us." It got to the point that I had to ask the counter staff to please stop yelling at my elderly parents. The guy who was working behind the counter came out all puffed up and got in my dad's face and told us to "GET THE F*** OUT!!". They then threatened to call the police on us. As we were leaving, the counter girl said sarcastically "have a GREAT day, you crazy customers" or something derogatory like that. We have never been treated like that by any counter staff ever, and we were in shock and disbelief. And if this is how the owner really feels about his customers...that we are a waste of time...this is likely the root of the problems this place has. NEVER again going back. Just...wow.

The ham and cheese croissant had a generous portion of ham in it but it was not flaky enough. I didn't get a chance to try any bread but I think that's probably what they are known for. The items we tried were kind of disappointing.
