11 Best Bakeries near Shawnigan Lake

“Popped into Omas for the first time yesterday and was very happy with the goods I took home, peanut butter cheesecake was amazing. The staff were lovely and it had a great vibe, I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend checking out this cute little local bakery.“

“Just an amazing family owned business. It’s a quaint and welcoming store. Perfect for a the neighbourhood. Has everything you need for a concise rant store. I remember going Masons when I was two years old and would rent VHS tapes. It’s nostalgic moving back up island as an adult and having those memories. It’s great to see the family run business still running successfully!“

“Outstanding quality pastries, sells out very early. Try the morning bun!! Great selection of coffee and tea, beverages“

“Hank's Bakery, just off the busy highway on Duncan’s outskirts, is a local favorite that’s well worth the extra drive. This bakery-café hybrid focuses on fresh-made food and seasonal specials, drawing in a steady stream of customers who don’t mind the bustling atmosphere for a taste of Hank’s quality.

The bakery is often packed, and space inside is tight. Seating is limited, with a few small tables and a bar area that suits solo diners or those just grabbing a quick bite. It’s more of a grab-and-go spot than a sit-and-stay café, but the food keeps people coming back.

Hank's stands out for its focus on fresh ingredients, which sets it apart from typical cafés that prioritize drinks. Their menu is always changing, with seasonal specials adding variety and keeping things exciting. Whether it’s fall-inspired pastries or summer-fresh salads, Hank’s makes the most of each season’s flavors.

Overall, I’d rate Hank’s a 7.2/10. The quality of the food and seasonal offerings are huge pluses, though the busy, cramped space makes it a better fit for quick stops than extended visits. If you're in the area, it’s a must-try for fresh, flavorful fare!“

“BEST LATTE!“

“Dale’s is the best gluten-free baking you’re ever going to get. 100% Coeliac safe.“

“This is my second time eating at the new version of Island Bagel, now called Island Bagel and Bannock. Had salmon and cream cheese on a bagel this time. Best smoked salmon in my life. All around delicious, fresh, and the service was friendly. Had bannock last time and it was also amazing. Highly recommended.“

“I had the best oat milk latte and chilli. the service was wonderful, and they were accommodative to my celiac allergy and replaced the complimentary bread with a gluten free brownie at no extra charge. i was so pleased i went back within the week. definitely a hidden gem and i wish i discovered this place sooner! i want to come by every time i’m in the valley if i can.“

“The food, drinks and atmosphere here are always beautiful. The garage classic shake, sour dough pizza and sunshine breakfast are my go to's.“

“Ayden is the most patient and authentic employee I saw at this tim. Great job man , respect your patience for working with such a staff. This guy listened to the instructions very properly and helped the customer in time.

All the other staff was rude and non communicative ( everyone else did not even care about the line up inside the store, seemed like they only worked for the drive thru)....“
