The glazed is not overly sweet and the yeasty texture is just right. Also went for a bacon maple donut and it is like a meal by itself. Totally a fan. Go a little out of your way because it's worth it.

Amazing! Their donuts are top tier and probably among the…read morebest I have ever had - fresh and delicious. lots of interesting flavours - but even their honey dip are next level. their cinnamon buns are also epic. I do not live near Courtney but have considered flying in just to get some of the donuts and cinnamon buns. Anyone who goes to the area I highly recommend stopping in. The only possible negative aspect is the limited hours of operation and that there is always a line up. But the line up is cause they are so good that hordes of people go and not cause of slow service. They also have great beverage selection both hot and cold. Their London Fog is in my top 5 and I consider myself a London Fog addict. I am glad I do not live near by cause I would end up being like 400lbs if I had easy access to it. So good. I would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could.

They are prolly better and definitely more interesting than Tim Hortons. I see a bigger jump in the local ice cream shops than with Bigfoot and other donuts. The dough needs to hit this light and fluffy sweet spot for me. Maybe I was spoiled on other spectacular specialty donut shops so I'm a harder sell. Good quick service and long lines everyone else thinks they are the bomb so you should def try it out. And I'll retry them again and update this review depending on how it goes.

Recommended. Two…read morethings I didn't get a pic of. Shepherd San Francisco Style White (a sour dough) and a slice of focaccia. The other two, you can see in my pics. I really wasn't too sure what to make of this place, but I'm almost always willing to try. I'm glad I did. The mocca cruffin and the twice baked pistachio white chocolate croissant were delicious. The loaf of sourdough that I also got is one of the tops in my books. Flourist and Bread Culture in Vancouver are my other two faves. If you come through Courtnay, pay a visit. Smallish store, friendly staff. Prices are reasonable, and parking in the adjacent lot is available.

The Most Charming Breakfast Place in Courtenay…read more I believe whoever was in charge of this location's look and feel was at least partially inspired by Hobbit architecture. It was delightful dining here and the food was pretty good too! My wife ordered the Two Poached Eggs with Whole Wheat Toast & Jelly breakfast, while I created my own sandwich (Montreal Smoked Meat on an Onion Roll with lettuce, tomato, and avocado). I also got a cup of their soup of the day (Cream of Butternut Squash). Everything was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. And we got to experience what eating breakfast for Frodo & Bilbo Baggins must've been like. Highly recommend if you're in Courtenay and want to get away from the typical run-of-the-mill diner or cafe experience for breakfast.

Even though I live in Arizona, the delivery was local so ordering online was super easy. Sent a follow up email question after I paid and they responded right away yay!

Thank you for putting a huge chocolate eating grin on my friends face...she said the truffles were the best ever and the little frogs were just irresistible! The customer service is the best! The chocolates were packaged with care and delivered by courier the very same day, plus I got a call and email to make sure everything was received in good order....fantastic! You've got a customer for life... can't wait to stop by some day to taste them for myself!
