Reviews of Dutch Bakery & Diner (Bowling Alley)

Richard K

A Victoria Landmark! Classic diner vibe, you feel like one of the family. The bakery up front is hoping with more Dutch treats than you can keep up with. Yum! Highly recommended!

John Melville

Recommended to go in for pastry. Everything looked good. Black coffee was diner style and soaked up the sugar of the sweet cream filler pastry. We also got the almond bread and an almond croissant. Split decision on which was better. The savory spinach and cheese croissant was the top for me. Fast and efficient service at the counter and we ate on the sidewalk tables while having our crumbs picked up by the local bird. A very enjoyable way to start the day. The sugar high faded after an hour.

Excellent tasting waffles, fresh fruit and real whip cream. Restaurant only has one waffle maker, so you'll wait a bit to taste such deliciousness. Hence, the half waffle. But worth the wait! Also, was free dessert day! GREAT start to the day.

Tony Duke

Super place for real European style baked goods. Proper patisserie and bakery with a pleasant cafe in the back of the store.

Emily L

Lovely cuppa...great chat with the locals and staff...a solid 10 out of 10 for a classic timeless Cafe. Can't wait to go back. ????

David Labrash

The best bakery in town! Everything is so good! Also the little diner in the back is so worth checking out. This place is always busy, but its worth the wait.

Sarah-Anne Lake

Really friendly staff members and extremely delicious pastries. Also they have a really nice old style restaurant there too.

Greg W.

Great baked goods. Nice restaurant too. Feels like an old time diner. Menu is good, prices are good and the staff are friendly. I recommend the soup!

Salim Jiwa

Lovely family owned bakery with seating option. Had a delicious breakfast! Chelsea was on the ball with her very pleasant service. Amazing selection of freshly baked pies and pastries. Taking some back with us to Vancouver for the kids! See you again soon!

Janice Sheldon

Delicious Strawberry Shortcake!!

Gary Burton

A reasonably priced eatery for breakfasts or lunches. Or just a cup of coffee with fresh pastries

Chris Hazeldine

Great diner feel with a bakery attached. Staff are super friendly and many of the patrons feel like regulars in a good way.

Phoebe

Always have a lovely time when I come in here, whether it's for treats or their ridiculously delicious breakfast. The staff treat you so well you'd think you're family, Johanna if you're reading this...you make my day :) So happy to have them so close by

John Gannon

Another visit to one of the oldest, most renowned and creative bakeries in the dear old city. Their creations and service are as Outstanding now, as when they first opened 65 years ago. Every treat pastry cake and pie is magnificent!

David Yelligadu

Lovely little bakery with delicious treats. The spinach and feta croissant was fantastic. Coffee was good. Limited seating available for dine in but there's a few tables available outside.

Mohsen Andayesh

Nice place to sit, yummy to eat, and friendly staff. Would definitely go next time I travel to Victoria.

Nicci “Nocturnal Nicci” Smith

Honestly can't say enough about this place.. Have been coming here since, maybe 1982? Always a favorite, 'meatball soup', 'Swiss burger' and 'croquettes'.. Bring a friend because you don't want to miss out on these favorites!! ????????????

Tyler Ayers

Great food at great price. Staff we're lovely.

Savanah Laplante

Sweet treats and great diner food for a reasonable price. A must!

Tim Adams

We went here for breakfast for 3 days with a bunch of high school kids and teacher/parents, and I can’t say enough good about the place. The food was great, the prices were beyond reasonable ( in the good way) and the service was friendly, efficient, and fast. The server we had in the first day even came in on her regular day off to serve us on day 2.

David Scoates

The best place to buy chocolate treats and fine confection like ribbon cake. Humm good

Joan Ramsay

Fantastic little spot for breakfast or lunch -- fresh baked good, old-fashioned ambience and good service.

Joanne Williams

Tried both the baked goods and the restaurant. I thought the cake was expensive for what you got. The chicken burger was ok, but nothing special. My husband loved his burger and dessert, so maybe it depends on what you select? It certainly was busy and the staff were very nice...lots of people obviously love this place, but alas I did not.

Autumn

Great lunch options and polite staff! Only downside is you can't eat everything on the menu in one sitting!

리안 lian lee

I've seen a lot of flavors, the cookies are really good. But other desserts are of low quality. Sometimes there are very friendly staff and sometimes unfriendly staff. There are so many kinds of desserts that I need time to think about... they are pushing me too. The staff do not give the customer time to choose.

L8dyoftheL8ke

Fantastic bakery...love their stuff...and the staff is awesome at helping you find the appropriate items to suit your tastes.

THE CABBIE IN THE #YYJ (MAKE IT VIRAL)

Great service and atmosphere love the 50s style.

Kitty Black

Dollar roll marzipan pastry is da bomb! The pastries here are so pretty. I come here for a treat. The price for these is steep but then they really are beautifully done and so delicious! I got a bunch of pastries here instead of a bday cake which was an awesome decision. Cherry tart and Deer leg... lol was also scrumptious. Service was fast and friendly so always love visiting here.

Michael Moores

Excellent atmosphere 10/10 I felt like I was in my very own sitcom. The food was good and reasonably priced (recommendation the Ruben) and coffee in adorable mugs. Really couldn’t complain.

Natasha Marie Niering

Great service and delicious cakes!

Jennifer Thomas

My family and I ordered a cake for our Mom’s 60th birthday. We’re in Ontario & given COVID we wanted to do something extra special since we can’t be there to celebrate with her. The staff at Dutch Bakery were so great in helping us organize her special surprise. Just the friendliest bunch, especially Michelle! We’re so grateful. Plus it doesn’t hurt that everything they make is delicious! Thank you.

Ola Hashem

The atmosphere, service and food are excellent. I loved their coffee as well

James Munro

Nice friendly kids working, gross pastries made with lard or veg shortening, leaves your mouth coated and gross

Custom Charger

Amazing baked goods. We drive from the comox valley just to enjoy the Dutch bakery

amber Zzzi

The cake tasted good, I like it

Zelda

Just visited this bakery! Nice old time feel to it. Stopped in for a pastry and coffee, chose a raspberry Danish with Lemon icing, delicious???? Will return!

Regina Akhankina

We enjoyed our time today! Vanilla slides and strudel were superb! I’m a big fan of pastries with reasonable amount of sugar because I need to feel the taste! And these were great! For people like me who doesn’t like oversweeted desserts and prefer more European style bakery it is a must! Staff was awesome! I’m going to come back!

Null Pointer

Good place for breakfast. Menu with a good variety of products. I had a mini-breakfast, delicious and a reasonable price. Recommend this place. All covid19 measures were taken by the owners

janis bates

This is my dad's go to place. This is where him and my mom use to go to when they were first dating (in the 60') And growing up my grandma always brought home Dutch Bakery goodies. I absolutely love this place. Always good and fresh food and service is absolutely amazing.

Ben Barrett-Forrest

A nostalgic and delicious place to eat. The first ingredient in everything is butter – yum! I love their burgers, which have a sausage-like flavour and are so tender and juicy. This place isn’t gourmet, but it is tasty, affordable, and friendly.

Jennifer Lynn

Awesome little breakfast spot or a little coffe & bakery treat. We opted for the coffee and treat option - dutch shortbread and spinach feta pastry. Decaf coffee tastes like a medium roast (so not super bitter) and shortbread was an awesome treat to dip in! (was very sweet so if that's not your thing, try another one of their fancy cookies) Spinch feta pastry was light, flakey and flavourful. There is a restaurant inside to sit down, bistro chairs outside, and some wooden seat structure beside the bike lane (might just be a summer thing)

Garry Mchady

This is a little piece of heaven you can find on Fort Street. From an amazing and delicious diner menu to succulent treats and baked goods found in the bakery, they have you covered. I highly recommend a visit as you will always find yourself coming back one you do.

Mandeep Kaur

The worst black forest cake i have ever tasted from here. They don’t know what exactly the Black Forest cake is... such a shame

Marc Gagnon

After walking from Bear Mountain Resort to downtown Victoria, one is left feeling a little hungry. I stumbled upon this gem of a spot and dropped in. I wasn’t disappointed. While the all day breakfast was appealing, I opted for the lunch special - a bacon, cheddar cheeseburger, with fries and a drink. It hit the spot and did it’s job! The service was friendly, attentive and clearly took their Covid responsibilities to heart. Well done!

Haritha Krish

5 stars for excellent service! Our server was the sweetest, jolliest person and she truly made our morning breakfast a memorable one! Loved their almond danish and sourdough bread lathered in butter yum! Veggie Omelette was good too! If you’re looking to try a local no frills cafe with good, affordable food - try this!

Hassan Deen

The good was very good and affordable. Our server was very polite and friendly to us. Food came in 10 minutes after ordering. We will definitely be coming back!

Maria Ontiveros

Friendly staff and good coffee for breakfast. Pastries were also authentically delicious. Locals place and friendly to tourists.

A Jiwa

Delicious pies, pastries and selection of baked goodies. Went back for breakfast and we weren't disappointed. Thank you Shayna for your great service and care of all the other guests in the diner this morning. Pretty impressive ????

Jay Schappert

What an extraordinary place to have lunch! Great food and a pastry counter to temp, tantalize and treat your tastebuds!

Anne

Best and least expensive breakfast there is, we enjoyed breakfast here twice in just 4 days.

Roy Mosure

Used to come here when I was a child. It was great to come back and see it hasn't changed much. All the food was delicious

M. G.

No surprise this place is a classic staple. Baked goods are delicious coffee and tea were great service was wonderful. Though we only had sweets the full breakfast menu was very tempting. Such a nostalgic diner feel.

LeeLee Marashi

Best bakery in Victoria.. all desserts are amazing.. cake is perfect and all test delicious ????

Tony Kwon

Always loved dropping in to grab a pastry... but in the last four years we've been enjoying their restaurant portion of the shop. A great casual place for breakfast or lunch. The feeling I get when I go there is like I am visiting my friend's family who runs a diner. everyone seems really chill and happy. Food quality is totally homemade goodness, and comforting. No exotic creations, just really good food.

AJ Rocklin

Probably the best breakfast in town especially at that price point. Love the old times feeling of the place. Wish they did not place the salt licorice bags by the cashier as one can't resist buying them.

Jacqueline Smit

Good food and service. Delicious pastries and chocolates. Have been going here since childhood and have never been disappointed

Megan Johns

I can not say enough wonderful things about The Dutch Bakery. I have been going here since I was a baby. It is a HUGE part of my childhood, and entire upbringing. Every single birthday since my 1st birthday has been celebrated with their beautiful cakes <3. And both sides of my family have been coming here for generations. The staff are warm, kind and wonderful. The food and treats are sooooo yummy, and so reasonably priced. My faves are the sausage rolls, meat pies, vanilla slices and lemon pies. Thank you Dutch Bakery for being such a huge part of my family's life. We love you all! <3

Patrick D

Swung by this bakery recently and their pastries were great! They do special orders for cakes and other products too. Their food’s priced decent as well!

Maria Eliana Maiben

Nice place,good pastries, the and much more.Friendly staff

Angie Martin

Friendly Staff, Great value, and Delicious. My daughter loved the sourdough toast so much she asked for a side order. Mmm

amanda d

Had the most amazing chocolate cake with vanilla custard from this bakery! Their cakes aren’t too sweet, they are just flavourful and delicious! Their vanilla squares are also amazing! A must try if you are in Victoria.

Carrie Metcalf

Go for a hot simple breakfast be be sure to get the raisin bread as your toast. Absolutely delicious! I grabbed a whole loaf to take home with me.

Kyle B.R. Joseph

Very delicious baked goods. A true staple of Victoria. Didn't have a chance to try the diner part.

Carmen Thompson

Always yummy cakes, I've been going here for years, thank you Dutch Bakery Staff <3

Erin Clair

Amazing diner with decent prices! They forgot my cheese but the sandwich was so good I didn't notice until the end. Can't wait to go back:)

Ron Battiston

This is one of the best coffee shops in the world. The food and staff are Wonderful.

Dune Boon

A classic looking dinner with simple food at a great price. Fast service, friendly staff, and there desserts are the best. I will be back soon.

Randall Bailey

I have breakfast at the Dutch Bakery often..food is always good,service has been excellent..baking is to die for!!

Eric Wallace

Tasty food and excellent service! Thank you for a great experience. The deserts are amazing as well.

Marin Relatic

Good prices, quality decent but not outstanding If in a need for sugar rush, great place :)

WildernessIsle Photos

My entire extended family has been coming here for about 60 years, basically since they opened. Pick anything and it will be delicious. Personal favorites are the dollar rolls and the vanilla slices.

Gerry Bates

Attentive staff. Eggs were undercooked. Not like the original Dutch uitsmijter, so disappointing. Great assortment of cakes, pastries, and chocolates.

Kier Robins

Really nice diner style breakfast, and a great place to grab a vanilla slice or a meat pie on the go.

Adam Blais

The wife and I absolutely loved this place and it’s old school charm. Food and service were exceptional. Will definitely be back next time we visit Victoria.

David K A L Y N

Went into Dutch Bakery today to pick up some cakes to try. The location is almost an institute in the Victoria landscape as it’s been here for years and I remembered it from my childhood. The Baked goods: They were okay. We weren’t wowed by them and for the price think they should be a lot better. $5 and change for a dry cake with a good cream icing wasn’t what I was hoping for. The cream was good but the cake was very dry. The Staff: Just had the feeling they had much better things to do than be there. Was an okay experience but can’t see myself returning to the old haunt unless I heard things had greatly improved.

Brittany Benjamin

Great diner food and yummy treats! A favourite spot!

Kent Verge

Best old-school breakfast spot in town. Good coffee, great eggs and proper counter service.

George Sranko

I wasn't impressed. I ordered a Turkey meat pie off the lunch menu for $9.15. What arrived was closer to the size of a tart. No where near the size of a frozen meat pie. We just about laughed out loud! An insult really for that price. It shouldn't be on the lunch menu. Maybe as an appetizer, but not for that price. My colleagues had good size meals for roughly the same price. Whatever you do, avoid the meat pie. Unless you order it for someone as a joke!

TsimshianHoroscope

So, my company wanted to get an awesome locally made cake for a coworkers bday. I picked up a 7x7 chocolate cake and 6 gluten and dairy free treats for one workers allergies for $35. The cake was delish and got eaten up asap!

Alina Tarnauceanu

Good baked desserts but lunch food is nothing special.

Natasha Jessa

An absolute gem! This diner is straight out of the 50’s, complete with the diner bar and pies on display. Food is incredible - homemade and what you have always wanted from an old school diner - simple, unpretentious and tastes like home. Prices are absolutely unmatched too being $7-$10 for a very filling and delicious meal. Service is equally great with attentive and friendly staff. To top it off, they also have a bakery which serves the most incredible cakes and desserts. Highly, highly recommend!

Zeke News

Love the atmosphere in the Dutch Bakery! Recommend you park in parking garage one block over. Great, delicious lunch specials!

Heather

Service with a smile. Staff very friendly. Inexpensive but tasty meals. A nostalgic trip back in time. Whether you're sitting at a table or up at the counter. Great place. Highly recommended.

Robin U

Pretty good diner had a nice lunch! Love the ribbon cake also. If only the dollar rolls' ends would be dipped in chocolate instead of the almond shavings, you'd earn a fifth star from me ????

CiDYYJ

A nice reminder of diners of old. It made me nostalgic. Located at the back of the bakery, it has table service, comfortable atmosphere, and classic menu and bakery items. I ordered the Cheeseburger Special with fries and tea. The burger patties are bulk but otherwise OK. I came in at 2:30p, close to closing time, and they had run out of buns so I had my cheeseburger on bread - just like at home! I liked that option. The service was fast and friendly. I noticed "regulars" that servers and staff knew which I think is a good sign. I will visit again, want to to try their Chicken Pot Pie made in-house. The bakery has amazing items!

Rod

It’s not even close. Best bakery and diner ever. I’ve going to the Dutch Bakery for almost 50 years and it’s still as good as it ever was. Thanks for all your great work and staying true to tradition. You’ll ALWAYS be my favourite restaurant in the world.

Zoe Regenbogen

The Dutch Bakery and café in Victoria has been my goto place for lunches, pastries, and a great cup of coffee for more than 30 years. I've been coming here since before I was born even, it has spanned 3 generations of my family coming here for breakfast, or lunch, or a cup of coffee and a piece of sacher torte or lemon meringue pie, or. My grandfather who came here for a dollar roll and tea. As long as it is here, I will continue to come for the coffee, a sandwich and pastry, and the great staff. Did I mention the staff? They are great, friendly, and sometimes a little sassy which is a welcome change from other café's in and around the Victoria area.

少陌

A nice warm cozy place. Went with a friend. Price is okay for students, Apple.pie with ice cream is delicious!

Christian Flanagan

All their baked goods and treats and everything are top notch. They have a medium size diner in the back with very reasonably priced food. I've gone there many times for breakfast and lunch and never been disappointed.

Kristin Ringstad

Yum! That is all I have to say. The baked goods and food here are so yummy!!

Marie W

Awesome! It's been a family favorite for years. And the vanilla Slices? Let's just say they can't be beat!

Haodong Huang

Great place, you can choose to get your sweets to-go or eat right there in the restaurant. Came for great Nanaimo bars, wasn't disappointed. Too many pastries to try them all, there is only so much room in one stomach.

watai gallery

The Food was a little bland. Service was slow but it was clean. A little costly for what you get. Wouldn't go again.

Andrea Williams

Love this old school diner and bakery!

Benjamin Solberg

Amazing Strawberry shortcake, which came with a well deserved recommendation from the staff.

Jon Kilimnik

Real, old school diner/café/bakery. Homemade goodness and tons of atmosphere. Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. Come alone and you can slip right in and take a stool at the counter. The real deal.

Maria B.

Every time I am in the area I have to stop and grab a pastry or some other delectable goody. I am from a Dutch family, and I am sure that makes me love this store even more!

Alisha Ritter

Extremely friendly staff and a strong loyal local following. You can have just about any kind of diner sandwich you can think of here. Wifi works just OK. Simple coffee and pastries or fancy baked goods up front. Diner in back with ample cheap options for everyone.

Jeff Wooden

Saw this on google maps and had to give it a try. My wife and I both ordered the special breakfast. For $7 (CAD) you get 2 eggs, toast, hashbrowns, and choice of meat. A great value and eggs were perfectly cooked to order. We didn't try any pastries, but they looked good.

Dan Allison

Love the Dutch Bakery! Old school but sooo good. Great breakfast and lunch. Tons of pastries. Run by the same family for 4 generations.

Michelle

Great place to have lunch or a quick dessert and tea. It's been around for 50+ years.

Bruce McKay

good breakfast menu at reasonable prices. Slow checkout on a busy day.

Theresa Cownden

Always a delight to stop in, pick up a cake, and feast on a cheeseburger!

Mark Carter

Had a great Black Forest cake and tea on the afternoon special rate. We'll worth a yummy visit!

Penny York

This place is a must visit. Such a lovely staff and quality food for a more than reasonable price.

Michael Prins

Very fast service, friendly, was amazed at how reasonable the price. Front end is retail bakery and chocolates. Back end is old school diner. My vanilla slice was heel lekker.

Catherine Rogers

Still a warm friendly shop. They are known for their European baked goods but also have a classic coffee shop and luncheon counter. Servings are reasonably sized and very good prices. Well worth a visit. If you are trying to avoid bakeries, eat the house made chocolates.

Laura Collins

Fantastic service and the food was SO GOOD! I went for the classic bacon and eggs situation, the eggs were fresh and everything was delicious. If you are looking to support one of the last old style diners in Victoria this is it.

Sydney Vanderham

We were so pleased with the service and food. It’s a nice little restaurant with comfy seating. Our food was out in 5 minutes, and was absolutely delicious. And the prices are great- 2 meals for $20. I strongly recommend giving this place I try. We love it and can’t wait to return!

Jan Brens

A wonderful place that has been here for as long as I can remember. My family has enjoyed this restaurant and bakery for years. Every time I come to Victoria we always have to go. Weather it is for a lunch or dinner dessert or maybe buying a cake for a special event. It's always nice.

Jerry Joseph

Very friendly staff and yummy treats

Drots Tun

Just plain yes. Was that review not enough for you? Well that's how I feel when we have finished the last of the pasties or pastries we took home from this place. I know that hollow feeling isn't great but it is life so get used to it, enjoy your baked goods while you can because ultimately someone else will eat that last one you were saving and then Covid will strike so you can't get another for ages. :(

Mark Savana

Great food and great prices. Highly recommend this place.

Shannon Jones

Nice staff and a cute location, however we ordered a Black Forest Cake for my birthday, and despite reading reviews saying it was phenomenal, it was the worst Black Forest Cake I've ever had. Instead of a traditional whipped cream icing, it was a dense chocolate Buttercream, and the center was the same but vanilla. Unfortunately it was rich, dense and not what we were expecting. When I looked at the website to see what we did wrong, it says it will cost you an extra %35 to have whipped cream and fruit substituted. Our mistake I suppose?

burock

A huge disappointment. We were expecting "a chocolate cake" but it's literally a cake made of cheapest margarine and brown food color without any taste of chocolate nor cocoa! It was so embarrassing moment to see my wife, (was her birthday) and my 5-year-old daughter normally who loves chocolate cake so much but could not eat. Unfortunately, it went to garbage directly... Our experience was very similar to eating a cheap raw margarine :(

Julia V

Great bakery! Delicious deserts, good Dutch food. Reasonably priced

Alana Merritt

Super yummy and nice. Even if it gets crowded you still feel attended to.

E Chan

The consistence of this place is incrediable. I am not a regular but I do come here once in awhile and for the duration of 20+ years, the quality of the service and food items remain high.

Laurie Beauchamp

old institution with good original recipes the yams are delicious if you go for a meal // should have more vegetarian options :D

Kris Thompson

Best bakery ever! Been going there for my whole life.

David

Just got a cake for gf's birthday and it was good. They also have other dessert such as macaron, not to mention cakes

Sarah Dixon

Delicious Ollie Bolen, friendly service, and great reuben sandwiches. Traditional Dutch bakery/ breakfast or lunch spot.

Dale Jeppesen

The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food is amazing

Karen Newman

Disappointed with Black Forest cake for my moms birthday Dont think it was very fresh as it was on the dry side Like another review on here didn't know you could order with fresh whipping cream Option should have been offered Next time will get a Sacher torte

Melanie Baird

Loved this place! Had breakfast, and of course got treats to go!! The vanilla slices were the best.

Eric Jantzen

Great food... Great service and prices are even better

Bähar Jelovica

Unfortunately my experience was unpleasent for the breakfast. The gentle woman who attended us, was not nice at all, the washroom was occupied by a non-client all the time I was there. There was nothing especial about the food and the price was high for the quality. This review is only for the breakfast, not the pastry section as I didn't try any. Overall not worth it.

Paul Onderwater

Wow! My dad is Dutch, and we went here to enjoy some nostalgia of our trips to Holland. They delivered! The food here is wonderful and we had a wonderful time trying some of the great Dutch favorites. It will be a fond memory of our time here, as the food is very good, the service excellent and the prices fair.

Judy Easton

Our favorite place for all cookies...fruit cake and chocolates.

Bob Hanson

Great little hidden gem. Great food and nice pastries.

Cameron Neumann

Good food and amazing desserts in an old school restaurant that hasn't changed much since the 60s. Very reasonably priced.

Kristina Shirai

Tried hazelnut tart, red velvet cupcake, strawberry shortcake, mocha log, nanaimo - very sweet, a lot of butter, no reason to return to this bakery.

kevinpyi munn

All the staff are welcoming and friendly. The food and baked are always good, and brings back memories of past home baked deserts and treats. Reminders of my youth sitting at the counter in the restaurant.

Michael Heemskerk

Awesome little coffee shop in back and always gotta pick something up from the bakery... One of the family favorites..

Aleksandr Raiska

The Moca Cake has been my favorite since childhood. Since moving back to Victoria I have come in at least once a week. Super friendly staff and the food is so fresh!

Mike Pancel

Super friendly staff, food is awesome and it's one of the only place in town that gives you the old school feeling. You really need to experience it!!

Gordon Firth

Old fashioned small town bakery and Cafe great staff and food

Kim Ghilarducci

Order the home made raisin bread. It's to die for. Tastes as good as it smells. Everything was good, but the raisin bread toast is like the best memories of childhood . You will feel warm and fuzzy after. Get here early or you will wait

Roland van Kaauwen

As a Dutchman, I must say this place was as close to Mom's baked goods as possible and my Mom was from a bakers family ! Don't miss breakfast at this little jewel of Victoria, the "Dutch in you" will thank you !!

joan bennett

In recent times I have had very nice service in this bakery and coffee shop but in the past this has not always been the case. I find many places here in Victoria seem to have an attitude which does not seem to be the case in other places where I have been visiting. Too bad. We are not doing ourselves, nor our businesses, any favours in this way. There are many wonderful new bakeries and shops with great products and friendly service in certain areas and shops here and in other locals.

dee tak

went their as a child, 50 yrs later finally get back to Victoria, nothing changed! food delish best vanilla slice ever!!????

Ken B

Loved it there, good breakfast with tasty raisin bread, nice option. Picked up bakery tarts on way out, nostalgic feel with its pictures and history. Server was sweet! Took our 2 sons age 9 and 11, loved the food

Ken Wright

Favourite Bakery in B.C. In the past 40 years my wife and I have lived all over the province. Whenever I had business in Victoria I would bring back Dutch Bakery dollar roles.

Terri Turbide

Great place for bite to eat or to grab a snack to go while picking up your dessert!

David Clark

Best breakfast in Downtown Victoria. Incredibly friendly staff. And last but not least they have delicious baked goods. Love this spot.

Sports J

friendly good place

Eats Fats

It's a diner. Nothing fancy here, you get your basic breakfast. It's quite amusing because they seem to have many breakfast items but they are all variations on the same thing. Toast, eggs & ham, just arranged different ways. But, what they do, they do well and at pretty decent prices. If you just want a basic breakfast, do come here. This one is recommended. (Just don't be expecting anything different or unusual here)

Jennifer

Not the friendliest service (no smiles of genuine acknowledgement the times I've gone) but the pastries are ok !

Daniel McGee

Can't say enough good things about this place. Great diner, delicious cinnamon buns definitely worth it if you are looking for a decent breakfast.

Jeff D

Great bakery with amazing products. Although I am not a sweet fan, I regularly visit here. Their breakfast is nothing that will win food awards, but is the best priced high quality breakfast in the city.

Camylle Fay

Shop keeper is more like ,my uncle, know this place for years and years. All their food are made with love and care. Food heaven, do not miss this little heaven.

Renee George

Wonderful staff, amazing baked good and a great place for breakfast!

Nelida Luck

l purchased a cake for a birthday. great selection! staff super helpful and gave me plenty of options, l didnt feel rushed and l actually ended up purchasing some sweets too. l loved the elephant ears! l am not very fond of sweets but l actually enjoyed them, will definetly come back again!

troy moore

The family's favorite place for there cakes ????. Great prices to.

ANUSARA TASEE

Food and bakeries were ok but the staff was so horrible rude. I will never go there again.

Daniel Strangelove

Yeah baby! Breakfast and a coffee for under $10! Soup like grandma used to make. All about them croquettes.

Anne Jarvis

I,ve been coming to this clean, well organized Bakery and Cafe since I was a wee child with my mother. We always enjoyed a Vanilla slice but as the years carried on my mother enjoyed her own Vanilla slice and I succeeded in trying the Black Forest Cake. The bakers are so friendly along with all the waitresses and front end staff in the bakery dept. Their meatball soup is to die for. !!!!!!!

Sandra Diede

Food was great but some things on the menu r outrageously priced!

Tina S.

Must try items from the Dutch Bakery: vanilla slices, almond danishes, lemon loaf, Goldstreams, half-ways, dollar rolls (only if you love marzipan), chocolate dipped shortbread cookies, sausage rolls (best!), cheese swirl crackers and meat pies. The cakes can be dry and I can’t speak to the chocolates as I have not tried them. I have not tried everything yet but really want to try the raisin bread. The diner is ho-hum and mostly seniors which is great if that’s the vibe you’re looking for. I would recommend taking the above listed treats to go. Their website needs more descriptions and not list all products are listed.

Gerry Peters

Wonderful old school restaurant that still makes a great breakfast at a fair price.

Deborah Dorosz

I have enjoyed going here for many years. Great place for a sandwich or breakfast and save room for a dessert or pastry. I love the lemon cream pie and my husband loves the mocha point cake. We even got our wedding cake here and all the petit fours for our celebration. Also the service is friendly even though they are busy.

Ed Stirling

A long time favorite. Good quality cakes and pastries. Very affordable prices. Highly recommended.

Rebecca Simms

The staff here are unimaginably sweet and efficient. The food is great everytime, and it's not hard to see why this little shoppe has survived through all the adversity thrown at it, standing strong since 1956. A true Vancouver Island gem that I always miss when I'm away. Try the almond Danish early enough in the morning and it's still warm (and always mouthwatering)!!

Valerie Mcleod

Very busy place awesome service. The wrap I had was very very good. Complimentary pastry today. Made my day!

Shakil Khoja

We enjoyed warm, fresh and delicious breakfast in cozy environment. Service was great, if u r in Victoria, must try out.

Ralph Sagun

Enjoyed a nice lunch out on the patio! Food was quite scrumptious and the pink haired waitress was absolutely stunning ye. Service was fabulous and I would come back every single day and order choccy milk.

Lucy

Very happy experience with this bakery. My place is far from downtown Victoria, however they kindly delivered my order. Most importantly, the cake and cupcake are the best in my life. Thank you again

Wonderful memories of dining in the restaurant. The meat pies and beef croquettes! Totally divine. The pastries are all excellent too!
