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.

Not a bad little place to stop at if you happen to be in downtown Duncan. I had a turkey spinach…read moresandwich and a cup of their medium roast coffee. The service was great, both girls were quite friendly and attentive. They heated up the sandwich for me on a panini press and it was tasty, it also came with tortilla chips on the side. The coffee they use is organic and fair trade and the brand is called, Spirit Bear. I believe that it is a local coffee roaster. The coffee was good but definitely nothing to write home about. Would I go back? Sure, if I happened to be in the area again killing time. At a friends house later on they brewed me a cup of coffee using beans from Drumroaster Coffee (another local coffee shop/roaster) and that was some of the best coffee I've ever had in my life. So maybe if you're in the area hit up Drumroaster instead.

Excellent cuppa! Smooth and organic medium roast with cozy community vibe. Don't hesitate to stop…read morehere if you're in the region.

The coffee here is very very good, consistently rich, hot, and served with a friendly attitude…read more There is a bakery attached to the coffee shop but I have yet to sample the baking. I haven't tried the chocolate either so can't comment on that! But did I mention that the coffee is excellent?! Oh, and the decor is really comfy and fun.

Here at 6:15 in the morning and there's donuts in the glass. Fortunately they can't sell them…read morebecause they're all too old. Little girls in front of me mobile ordered the glazed donuts and couldn't have it. I ordered a dozen donuts and a dozen muffins through mobile order and a box of coffee. Not sure what the point was. No donuts to buy, had four muffins available, and I had to wait 9 minutes for coffee. A lot of people walked out while I was waiting.

Love this place! Absolutely amazing lattes and beautiful…read morebutter croissants that were fresh and decadent. The plain butter ones are truly magical while the ham & cheese ones go a little soggy once they warm it up. Lovely hospitality and lots of searing inside and out. Will definitely be back when we're on the island next!

What is up with this place. The owners are the worst! Honestly, to anyone looking for a job,…read moreplease do not waste your time working for Drumroaster. The owners have zero, I mean NO, dedication to their staff. I heard another employee who dedicated years to this place, was simply just let go. These people are cheap and literally gain their wealth off the backs of the people that dedicate their time to this establishment. Employees are treated like trash, that can be disposed of. There are better places, with honest, friendly owners who will appreciate you. The owners of Drumroaster are cheap, they will cut anyone if you can be replaced by someone who will start at a lower wage. It's been proven over and over again. Zero stars because the owners are a joke!

Not even any salt and pepper added, let alone some mayo and garnish or anything that could justify that price and taste good. I could have bought a whole loaf of bread and an avocado for cheaper. Yikes. the girls at the counter are sullen every time I interact with them and looked annoyed that I asked for S&P. Teach your staff some customer service skills and review your menu. You lost my business.

We stopped by Ed's Coffeehouse on the way to Port Renfrew for a caffeine fix and quick breakfast…read more It wasn't busy at all on a Sunday afternoon and the interior felt warm and cozy. I loved the different rugs on the floor and the colorful wall art. We both ordered the Marsala Chai Latte and Breakfast Burrito (which could be made with or without bacon). There were only two menu items for food - the burrito and a yogurt parfait - so choices were limited. Service was friendly and quick, and our drinks only took about 5 minutes to make. The Marsala Chai Latte was so delicious - perfect for a fall day. The Breakfast Burrito was decent and filling, but I definitely enjoyed my drink more. Overall, cute place - worth a visit!
