The variety of plant-based/vegan treats was the main focus which was truly appreciated and unique especially in cook village. The mushroom & leeks scone, mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwich, and carrot cookie were all delicious. The London fog was a personal favorite - so comforting! Additionally, we had a flat white which was good too. The outdoor ambiance is charming, with mirrors adding a whimsical touch to the garden. The service was excellent, making our visit even more memorable. I highly recommend this little hidden gem cafe spot. Additionally, I did notice that they also had a hidden gem Ice cream truck around the corner, which is fun! The ice cream truck was closed when we popped by but we'll try it next time.

There are plenty of small tables inside, perfect for enjoying your coffee and treats, plus the cutest little back patio. The staff here is wonderful--so friendly and welcoming. Their baked goods are truly top-notch, and they also make a fantastic chai latte, honey bee, and other fun, creative drinks, along with great classic lattes and coffee options. They sell cute bagged goodies that are perfect for gifts, special occasions, or just treating yourself. I absolutely love Pure Vanilla--it's the best artisan, homey, earthy café. Located in Estevan Village, it's super easy to get to and great for a walk around the area.

A very popular bakery in downtown Victoria, and it's easy to see why. We stopped by for pastries…read moreand coffee. The shop itself is quite small, with only couple seats along the wall. 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. The cake itself was incredibly moist and executed with such care. It was a total hit for the celebration! I only wish we lived in Victoria so this could become our regular go-to spot for special occasion cakes.

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.

The prices are amazing, the staff is great and while not a trendy bakery the product is amazing. The croissant was perhaps one of the best and I crave it while writing this.
