Reviews of Bond Bond's Bakery (Bakery)

Mimi W

Bond Bond's website claims their the best bakery in Victoria, and while I can't and never like to provide a definite #1, I will agree: this bakery was on my list of the best and highest-ranked in the city. -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"

This is the best bread i ever had, better than Fol Epi, better than Portafino.....its just better, seriously the best I ever had. Bond Bonds is a literal gem.

Employees are never in a good mood, the "sticky bun" is just a dry gross bun basically with very little stickiness. Over priced. Better places in town with better staff.

The toughest pain au chocolat I've ever eaten. Good coffee though.

Victoria, BC is blessed with wonderful bakeries. I’ve been a Bond Bond’s client for many years. Even though I don’t go there as often as I used to when I was working downtown, I am surprised by the consistency of their products over the years. I think their blueberry bran muffins are wonderful and I appreciate the seasonal goods, like the ones baked at Christmas. I have tried all their breads, knowing that they use the best ingredients and no preservatives. The slow fermentation process used in BB made their breads easier to digest. Recently I found a new product – the “wild” sourdough bread. It is not only very tasty, but I realized I can eat a lot without any problems. Thank you Bond Bond’s for all the honest dedicated work you do to keep your products healthy and very enjoyable.

The bread is decent, but points off because of the employees (or perhaps it was one of the owners, I couldn't tell). The attitude here leaves MUCH to be desired, Not only are they unfriendly with the typical Victoria "Take it or Leave it" approach, but they don't appear overly knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with better breads. Today I bought a loaf there that I thought might make good French toast for tomorrow morning, and the woman who served me asked if I wanted it sliced. I replied "Sure, if you can cut thick slices." She looked at me as though I'd grown three heads, so I just told her I'd do it myself. Once I had paid she gave me the bread in a plastic bag, and said they didn't use paper bags for bread. What kind of a self-respecting better bakery provides bread in plastic bags to their customers? Plastic bags destroy the crust of the bread. It's a good thing they aren't the only quality bakery in town, and that I can bake my own bread, because I'm not sure I'll be going back. EDIT A late addendum to my "quality bakery" comment. Now, the *only* place I buy bread is Fol Epi on Yates. I did try going back to Bond Bond's a few times after the aforementioned incident, with similar results. Then Fol Epi opened their new location and I've never looked back: Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere and amazing breads that are priced *very* competitively. If you haven't already check them out.

Amazing desserts

I showed up at 7am and purchased the fresh sourdough baguette, blueberry scones and blueberry danishes. The flavor and quality was outstanding. It was worth the early walk in the rain, we broke fast like Kings and Queens.

I often go here to buy the day Olds that they bag up for 2.50. Always a great value.

I am adjusting my rating to 4 stars, the rude employee seems to not be there anymore. Good sandwiches. The baking is delicious. The one employee who's always serving me is SO rude. Friends say the same thing.

I have been going here for many years and it is some of the best bread in the city. ???????????????????? Very impressive and consistant.

Seedy loaf, brioche buns, cookies - all really great.

David Bouchard

THE best bakery Victoria...no make that Canada...has to offer!

simply the best

With some flashy options around the corner I think Bonds is a little overlooked. The sweet options are great and there are solid bread options. Love the Onion Board is my favorite to go with some balsamic and oil when I get home. Lemon squares, pecan squares, and peanut butter bars are our go-tos in the sweet categories. And I always seem to get more for a few less dollars than the other folks in the neighborhood. Make sure you check out the deals on the day old rack too.

Everything is delicious, I die for the croissants.

Andrea Bollen

My favorite bakery in Victoria???? sprouted grain bread & pb chocolate cookies are my go to. So delicious. Staff are friendly and the day old section is a serious bargain! Often they have free bread as well!

Best bread in Victoria !

Extremely rude staff. I will never order anything from this bakery ever again. I was very confused when I went in, the staff member told me I had to pay on a order that was suppose to be pre paid. After I paid I asked for a receipt so I could get reimbursed. She got even more of an attitude towards me, ripped off the receipt and as I left she said to me oh my god. She never even gave back the piece of paper with the credit card number, it was suppose to have been charged too .She kept the piece of paper it was written on, it was on a yellow piece of paper attached to our order. She was holding it in her right hand while I was paying with my debit card. They called an hour earlier to tell us our order was ready for pick up and not once during that conversation did she let us know that they didn't charge the credit card. Such poor customer service. We want the credit card number back...

Bought muffins today. When I got them home I realzed they were all burnt. This should have been picked up by them. Not happy.

Bradley Johnstone

Very great, quality bakery goods

Ally Johnston

Really miserable staff and the place has a real issue with flies. Shame as could have been a decent bakery but now I go to Crust. They have great bread and cakes and I don't have to deal with bad service.
