Wonderful bakery in Friday Harbor with great pastries. We had the apple danish, pain au chocolat,…read moreberry cheese danish, and the carrot cake muffin. Each pastry was great but the highlight was the berry cheese danish. We also really liked how the apple danish wasn't extremely sweet and the texture of the carrot cake muffin. The bakery also has coffee and pizza available, but we didn't try any of that. Seating wise, there's both indoor and outdoor seating available for guests and water on tap. The ordering process was smooth but we sat, bussed, and served ourself which was fine.

This is truly one of our go to spots over the many years we've been coming to SJI. Had an…read moreunfortunate experience this weekend. My husband, of course on his first trip to the island, ordered a cinnamon roll. As he was eating he pulled out a massive dark hair fully baked into the cinnamon roll, and as one does, was completely repulsed and threw it away. Sadly it tarnished is experience of the bakery which I had highly praised and was the first stop on our anniversary trip. Aside from this, the bakery has a variety of pastries that usually go quick in the mornings, my favorite is the chocolate croissant. They also have a full sandwich and pizza shop as well as indoor and outdoor seating areas. Service is always fast and they get your food out to you quickly. Again usually this is our go to so hoping it was just a one off experience.

Quiches are said to be quite good. Expect a line (more often than not, out the door) and a healthy wait for service. Do check days and hours when they're open.

Great find in the cute little burg of Sidney. Fairly extensive selection of handmade pastries,…read morecookies and savory sandwiches. They even sell dog biscuits that are baked in-house. Everything looked tempting so we purchased a lot: a fig tapenade Brie sandwich (wonderful flavours, a little heavy on the bread and light on the cheese); a mango danish (delicate, crisp pastry strewn with baked mango chunks); a vegetarian pizza (cheesy and flavourful); and my favourite, an oatmeal fudge bar (like the one Starbucks used to sell, but with higher-quality ingredients and most importantly, more chocolate!). We also got a salad as a nod to nutrition, which was fresh, contained a surprising amount of bocconcini and came with a tasty vinaigrette - a little overpriced for the portion tho. Service was friendly and prompt. No seating inside, but there are a few benches outside where one can enjoy the treats if the weather's fine--and it was. 4.5

The Fickle Fig Express is a cute little bakery serving up some fabulous pastries, along with friendly service with a smile. Located on the central high street core of Sidney, make this bakery one not to miss. I was lucky they had anything left, getting here at 3pm. Cause you know how it is when it comes to bakeries - the early bird gets the worm. The Cinnamon Bun was very good & the Chocolate Almond Brownie - sensational.

I got many things and loved every single thing. I wish their website had a menu but I'll do my best to sum it up! Savoury items: Veg salad (it came with pickled shallots, beets, yam, a ton of cranberries, pumpkin seeds, feta, on a bed of greens with vinaigrette dressing). This salad was huge and had so many flavours and textures. Too many cranberries for my liking but the salad was packed! The pickled shallots were a nice touch! Vegan sausage roll was elite! How it was so buttery and crusty and the vegan sausage was flavored well! What a find! Spanakopita was another gem! Packed full of spinach and cheese and pretty hefty! It melts in your mouth too! Sweet: Caramel nut brownie like bar. It was dense, sweet, and had a nice chew! Good but not my fav! Nanaimo bar was sweet and very soft! Really good bar! Caramel bar was all our favorites! I highly recommend this one! It's not over sweet but has a cooky like texture! My friend also got a sandwich that was packed! I love this place! It's clearly a winner and hit among locals and visitors alike!

Had a quick lunch here on the day i arrived at the island…read more.. Place was buzzing and i was so hungry i forgot to add picts lol. But we have the chicken and bacon sandwich. Beef pot pie, soup, blueberry scone, and ham and cheese croissant and the clam chowder! All i can say is that, food here is great! Very nice island cafe. The sandwich was packed with quality ingredients. Beef pot pit was hearty and held a lot of filling. The scone was also very good. Full of blueberry flavour. The ham and cheese croissant was excellent. Pastry was nicely done and inside was hearty combo ham and swiss cheese. The soup was one of the best clam chowders ive ever had. Even had bacon in them. Wow! Only thing i would change is that they should offer to grill up and warm The sandwiches or the pot pies. All they offered is a small communal microwave. Lol. But nice island vibe and good coffee. Service was quick and efficient. Staff always ready to help and provide whats needed. Cheers! Happy eating!

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 goats are cute and nice. We will definitely come back when visiting the island again.
