Pre-pandemic this used to be my favorite coffee and pastry shop downtown. After it reopened their menu has changed. Quality of baked goods, cakes and coffee has tanked. It still is better than most places downtown but it's nothing in comparison to what it used to be. Service is always great.

Amazing selection, quiet and comfortable restaurant area, love the open kitchen. Chef and staff appear happy and generally putting out good vibes. My breakfast sandwich was delivered by the chef directly. Fresh baking smelled amazing, I’ll be back for sure!

I would like to ask how can you justify asking $8.50!for a pain au chocolate, and $8.00 por a plain croissant?. I know you put a note saying you pay your employees over the minimum wage, however, is not up to us customers to pay for it. How can you justify a couple blocks from you on Blanshard and Broughton Bond's Bakery something, I can buy a delicious almond croissant for $3.75 + taxes (by the way your croissants are not that good, sorry).I know rent is expensive, but is flour and butter, are you using organic flour, organic ingredients? I’m sorry but this is just crazy. A block from you I can get an empanada with ground beef, egg for $6.00 and the owner makes it from scratch.I used to visit your bakery at least 3 times a week couple years ago, same my coworkers, but now none of us goes unless we have no time to go a little further. There is another bakery on Douglas street “Culture” something, I got a loaf of olive lime bread, 1 cheese pretzel, 1 regular pretzel and a medium size latte for $ 24 and some change. At your bakery, one plain croissant and a small latte for $14????Come on. I know you might say if you don’t like it don’t come here, I agreed. I m just saying what many don’t dare to say it.I grew up in Europe where tipping is not something you do, we don’t make customers pay our staff by ridiculously raising prices.The sad thing is that no one regulates or keeps an eye on businesses abusing the so call “inflation”. Sorry.I forgot to mention, I used to get the raspberry mousse all the time when they were $8.50 each, now $14!!!! you must grow them on your backyard with classic music!

Fancy bakery with breakfast - the breakfast was good but underwhelming for the price. Over 20$ for the traditional eggs toast sausage etc., and it seemed fairly normal in quality. A simple butter croissant even is 6.50 for one, they're good but not that good.

Delicious pastries and lovely atmosphere! Bread was freshly baked and the sandwich my daughter got was filling and flavourful. Yum!

Great bakery/deli! Good place for a quick sweet indulgence with coffee. Good selection of take home delights including some deli meats. Best place for breads and buns.

Great bake goods. Croissants, rolls, bread. Baked right there. Always fresh. Eat there or on patio. The folks that run the place are so nice and cheerful. Always helpful. I been there twice and will go back again.

This place is deluxe. I love visiting this spot. Whether you are a local or visiting. Fol Epi is awesome for breakfast, a brunchy snack or turning it up at night when it turns into Agrius. Get there and enjoy the amazing food and awesome crew!

Amazing place. The staff is kind. There is super tasty drinks, and a lovely atmosphere, both inside and outside. The food is delicious. I especially recommend the breakfast sandwich, and hazelnut pain au chocolate.I will definitely be coming here again.

Baguette is delicious! Ordered Iced Americanos and Lattes as well as croissants and they’re always delicious.
I love this place, great food and a great service, but I bought some ciabatta today and the plastic must have been flimsy or ripped because the bread fell out of the ripped bottom of the bag after walking 1 block. Please inspect your bags and see if this problem can be addressed. It's an expensive problem to have from the customer's perspective.

It's not easy to find great baguette and croissant while traveling. This bakery delivered! They also have a good selection of charcuterie. We were not familiar with their offerings, but the staff was very patient and helpful while we made our selections. They also arranged some mayo and butter for us. Back at the hotel, we had the perfect lunch!

Delicious breads and patisseries! I always go here when I visit Victoria.

The best coffee and pastries in town. Great pizzas and brunch at the weekend too . I was staying down the road on Yates and stopped by here every day.

They are great but price could definitely do better. 8 dollars for a butter croissant is just way outrageous. Same goes to their sandwiches.Overall, quality is good but not to an extend I would visit regularly.
