We bought a cake here for my mom's 70th birthday and were so impressed! We chose the "Crusty…read moreForest"--their take on a Black Forest cake--and it was absolutely delectable. 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.

Crust Bakery is a hidden gem! I love the atmosphere and the smell of freshly baked goods…read more Everything looks (and tastes) incredible. The pastries are perfectly baked, not overly sweet. My favourite is the pistachio tart. The staff are friendly, helpful, and make the whole experience even better. Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or picking up something special, Crust Bakery never disappoints. Highly recommend!

One of those places I just stumbled upon that was close to my hotel. I walked in the first time,…read moreand saw some pretty nice baked things...... I then went the second day to get coffee and I couldn't decide on if I wanted sweet or savory. I chose sweet..... and while I was leaving Victoria with my raspberry danish sitting in a nice little bag, I bit into it, and have to say it was one of the best danish pastries I have ever had, it was bakery buttery good, and they do not skimp on the raspberry jelly topping, where some places it looks like they just add enough to call it a danish.... well this was so good and if I had more time I would have drove back down to this place to buy up the rest of what they have. They sell baked loaves of bread, and individual baked pastries, and also coffee.... oh that is really good here too. Fol Epi... you are now on my to go list anytime I am in Victoria, and now looking back at my pictures, there are cookies, croissants, palmiers, kouign amanns...... and more.... I need to try. As another Yelper wrote... I wish I lived around the corner.... cause really I do, but that just makes this one special for a return visit.

Beautiful place, I love that there's three in one in this building, you have your cafe style…read moreserving coffees, the bread and party spot and then a meat and cheese and grocer restaurant style spot. 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.

The mutton sausage roll had a strong lamb flavour but that's fine for us because we love the lamb flavour and the pastry was flaky. But it felt a bit dry. The pretzel was dry and not chewy. It was disappointing. The almond croissant was too sweet. The chocolate cookie was a bit chewy but not chewy enough. 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.

What an incredibly petty individual. We had called to get on a list for baguettes for the 24th. The…read moreperson we spoke to checked to make sure that they had enough, and they confirmed that we were good to go. Then 20 minutes later we get called back by someone else who is now taking us off the list! No baguettes! Rather than extend their invented rule and 'slightly' inconvenience the store, the customer who did everything correct loses out. The store screwed up, but the customer pays for it. Will never return and will tell others of your poor service.

i really wanted to like this café, and honestly, i'd still recommend it for the aesthetics alone…read more the interior is beautiful, with glossy black and white checkered floors, soft white paneling, and a chandelier that adds a touch of elegance above the counter. natural light pours in from the tall front windows, illuminating the pastry case and giving the whole space a serene, gallery like feel. it's a calming spot to step into, and would be an ideal setting for a proper afternoon tea service. i ordered an almond croissant, french bread pudding, and the gateau du jour, green tea and vanilla, along with a yuzu maccha (sourced from jagasilk), all to go. the drink was the biggest disappointment, the yuzu flavour was absent, and the matcha itself was weak. on top of that, there's a small surcharge for ice (.50, which i did not expect) and oat milk (.50). the almond croissant looked promising with its golden shell and slivered almonds, though the nuts themselves weren't fully toasted, which made the topping feel a little underwhelming. the interior leaned more dense than the airy, flaky layers i'd been hoping for. this sometimes happens when the lamination doesn't quite hold or the proofing isn't ideal, not unusual with croissants, but still a letdown in contrast to its appearance. the green tea cake was beautifully presented, with neat layers of sponge and green tinted buttercream, but leaned on the sweeter side, with only a subtle whisper of green tea. the bread pudding, reheated at home, was the highlight, soft, custardy, and lifted by the vanilla cream sauce it came with. seating is limited but cozy, with a handful of small tables inside and a couple more out on the sidewalk. their selection is broad: whole cakes, slices, macarons, crème brûlée, tarts, cookies, all arranged neatly in the front window to tempt passersby. the café's charm lies in its design and atmosphere. it's worth a visit if you're nearby and want a chic spot to sit and relax, and i'd go back to try their other cakes, the display alone makes it hard not to.
