Definitely good for study, hangout, play games together and more! Gelato and sorbetto are one of the best we tried so far in Vancouver Island, not overly sweet, and flavours are on point. I am so glad to have stumbled this shop while driving around in the island.

Fun flavors! My favorite are the fruit sorbettos! Limone and raspberry are so refreshingread more

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! Off to a great start so I had high expectations that the goodies would be as delicious as advertised... and they did not disappoint! 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!

Plenty of hot drink varieties, candy, chocolate, and pastries at reasonable prices unlike Freya…read moreacross the street.

I love bread in all forms. So long as you are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside (somewhat…read morelike a baked armadillo - for ex-pat British reviewers, this may make some semblance of sense) - I am all yours. Apparently, Cakebread do a mean garlic loaf - with a whole bulb baked into the center. What is there not to love about that? Anyway, I didn't get to try it, so I can't review it - I just will dream about that instead. Rather, I tried out a chocolate brownie. I've been a little disappointed with brownies since I moved to the states, so I thought I would try out a Canadian version, to see if it could compare to the wonder of the brownies sold in London's Borough Market. Well, it didn't - but it was incredibly luscious. Chocolate icing on top and a surprise of biscuit (cookie) threaded through the brownie itself. I do like a bit of texture when I am chowing down. One brownie was probably a bit too rich for one person - but, I was alone - and I do hate seeing food go to waste. It's called taking one for the team, ok?

I really enjoyed the ready to eat sandwiches from here. We were heading out to visit Strathcona…read morePark for a day hike and looking for some tasty sandwiches to eat mid hike for lunch. Cakebread had just what we were looking for. I wish we had more opportunities to come back as they also had a delicious looking selection of baked goods. Highly recommend the turkey croissant sandwich or the prosciutto sandwich on baguette. Both came with a delicious roasted pepper tapenade and carmelozed onion spread.

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.

Was a 3star but added a star for the cool style of the place, the quality coffee and the windows to…read morewatch them make donuts. Good donuts. Not excellent or near the hype. 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.

The salted caramel chocolate dipped pretzel sticks were a bit spendy, and the caramel was a bit crystalline, so I'd pass on those next time. All the chocolate truffles we tried were good but our favorite was the bourbon caramel. We grabbed an ice cream sandwich, but accidentally selected a gluten-free one. Too bad because I'm not a fan of most gluten-free cookies. Service was good. We never felt rushed, even when we were sitting on the patio while they were closing for the day.
