Superb selection of cakes and breakfast sandwiches. Better than average croissants and fruit Danishes. Full range of coffees.

This place has the worst product!

No taste and no flavour at all!

They are so overpriced for the cheap product.

Go to Fol Epi for real food.

Was here on the weekend and the pastries are wonderful. This is the first place I've found on the island that taste like pastries in Montreal.

Lovely little pastry and sandwich shop on Beacon. Selection of coffees, and hot beverages as well. All items are made from scratch.
We bought 3 cookies and a carrot cupcake, and my friend got a blueberry Danish. Everything was really delicious.
Service was slow but on a Sunday we weren't in a rush and it's what you expect for a small shop with quality food. Would definitely return to try more items. The pulled pork sandwich looked amazing, if I was ever in the market for one.

We went for an ice cream at another location which was surprisingly closed on a Tuesday afternoon! Luckily we found this store open and the ice cream was absolutely delicious! We will return!

I asked for a great Cappucino and that is exactly what I got. The baked good are also delicious. I do not like to drink cappucino in a paper cup, that is the only way the experience could have been better. Also there is unfortunately no bathroom and no sitting area.

Wonderful spot for coffee and goodies

Their breakfast sandwiches were way overpriced and NOT GOOD. The biscuit was stale and hard.

Excellent bakery in the heart of Sidney.

I came in here to get the sourdough baguette and also ended up buying some peanut butter cookies.

So much on offer here. Sandwiches. Coffee. All sorts of breads. Croissants. Pastries. I wish my husband and I had stayed in Sidney longer. We would have come by more often.

Love the ice cream flavour 😁

The raspberry honey cake was super nice. A bit pricey but would still order again. I found the passionfruit lemonade though was too sweet and I generally like sweet things. After I diluted it down by half, it made a refreshing summery drink.

It was a good experience for myself. First off, I had a craving for coffee at 5:00 o'clock. It was already hard to find a coffee shop opened past that time, so I chose to go to this one and I drove all the way from Central Saanich, to Sidney. When I arrived, there was a nice lady that welcomed me, and got my capuchino, which was great. One thing that got me from this coffee shop, is that whenever I go to a coffee shop and I'm going to treat myself for nice coffee, I make sure to get a nice dessert as well. And place did deliver my expectations. I loved their lemon tart. It was delicious. I think it's the best one I have had so far, but bear in mind it's just my opinion. This is my overall experience with this nice coffee place. Thank you to the nice, young lady that was there that day and was very helpful.

It is pricey but it is SO worth it. The tarts are absolutely to die for (especially the lemon). They also have a good selection of local goods (art, jams, hot sauce...) which is great for such a small space. The folks who work here are lovely and I always stop in when in Sidney!
