Wow what a Cake! My…read moresister arranged for a wonderful lemon cake from Naked Cake for my Mom's 90th Birthday. The cake was spectacular and the hit of the party. My Mom was quite particular in wanting a lemon cake, not too heavy but just perfectly sweet. It was as ordered. In addition to the cake were these wonderful tarts that allowed for the guests to choose. =The cake when on the plate looked like you would never be able to get through a piece because it was so rich but that was not the case. I also loved the lemon taste, as lemon can so many times be too tart or too bland - it was just right! Highly recommended!

This is a great place for a quick lunch or takeout of Italian ready to eat food. The hot table has…read morelots of options like fresh to order sandwiches, 3 kinds of lasagna, pasta and meatballs. I went for the chicken sandwich. It was really good, but I wish it had a bit more meat/toppings for the price. Don't get me wrong it was delicious and I will be back. Just next time I would see the cost of adding another layer of meat. The service was quick and the dining room had lots of tables. All in all a great spot for Italian fast food and groceries.

Very small but cozy place. Bought a strudel as well as a Bienenstich (Bee Sting), fresh and tasty…read more Bienenstich had a distinct sweet flavour but very light, strudel was more on the sour type thanks to the fruits as is supposed to be and I love that. If you enjoy baked good I definitely recommend this place, it will not look like your typical high end bakery but it will definitely delight your taste buds.

This is a small patisserie and bistro in a resort. It is well-decorated, like a cafe in Paris,…read moreincluding outdoor seating. They sell French bakery items, subs, and coffees. They also serve different types of Afternoon Tea. They also sell breads like Sour Dough ($12.00) and French Baguette ($4.50) for takeout. We ordered the following: 1. Nutella Croissant ($6.95). 2. Flat White (small $4.95). They charge the normal 13% HST, but there is an extra 3% resort fee! Both the croissant and coffee were good. The service was good. Some people make reservations for their favourite tables. They certainly make sure every is clean and chairs aligned. Four of us were sitting around a very small round table, so I put my camera case and bag on top of a neighbouring table (they were only 20% full). My wife told me they were staring at me. After I took it off and put them on the floor under my seat, they cleaned the table; must clean off any dirt I might have on my stuff! They have been open for 3 years. They allow photos using a phone but not a DSLR. They said they would charge $250 for me to take photos. One staff member recommended I speak to the owner. The owner was concerned that I take photos of his prices: this makes not sense since I can also do it with my phone! He finally allowed me to take photos of just the food, and he asked the staff to take it out for me onto a table! I was thankful! There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is free WiFi. The patisserie is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. There is free parking in the resort. There are two high chairs for little children. Review 2024-203

Road trip for an afternoon tea experience at Parisienne Patisserie & Bistro up in the beautiful…read moreFriday Harbour It is a cute French patisserie and bistro with freshly made loaf bread, croissants, mini cakes and all sorts of baked goods. Full Tea for 2 ($65) includes: Tea, savory mini sandwiches, assorted sweets, whipped cream, assorted fruits. ** They didn't have mini sandwiches, but we got to choose a hot pressed sandwich from the bakery display, and they sliced it for us ^^ I'd also recommend: * Lychee Green Tea (teapot) * Roast Beef Mushroom Melt * Brie, Arugula, Prosciutto Be sure to make a reservation via phone for afternoon tea experience. Good for small groups of 2-3 people :) Limited indoor seating, outdoor patio also available. I personally think the afternoon tea experience is still very new, still need to work out some kinks. Overall, food was delicious, and my family had a lovely time together :)

OH! WOW!! is all I can say after tasting Chef Dimu's Macarons, Chocolates and Donuts!!…read more I had never had a Macaron before. After seeing a review and it showed pictures of Macarons, I had to stop in and try one, especially a Raspberry Macaroon. I'm so glad that I did. I was totally surprised when Chef Dimu was so very kind enough to give me samples of his baking. It was out of this world. I was given a Lemon Donut (with a hole) and when I bit into it I was totally surprised to find that it had been filled with a Lemon Curd!! Blew my mind!! Highly recommend!!

If only I could give a negative star rating. I've supported Homestead Bakery for a long time, but…read moretoday's experience was deeply disappointing and showed a complete disregard for fairness and customer integrity. I called ahead to ask if they could hold a sourdough loaf. I was told they had six left, it was "fairly slow," but no holds--first come, first serve. Fair enough. I made the trip over and stood in line, only to watch the customer in front of me get the last loaf. She mentioned she was also told the same thing over the phone. Again, I accepted that--she was ahead of me. Then the real issue: behind the counter was a bag clearly labeled "Alex" with loaves being held--despite their "no holds" policy. When questioned, the staff admitted they were reserving them for a "long-time customer." So the rules apparently only apply to some people. That's not just bad business--that's unethical.
