The Italian Bakery

Can’t say enough about the genuineness of the baking that Alberto has commandeered over the decades he has worked at the Bakery. The quality of the ingredients is second to none. All ingredients are locally sourced. Many of the berries are hand picked by the owner, Alberto! The taste is fabulous!! This is a dying breed so make sure you treat yourself to all the great tasting baking in this shop!! You won’t be sorry.

A small and busy local bakery store offers nice gelato and freshly made breads, pastry and cakes. A great place to have some grab and go small meals or a cold treat.

Slightly different bakery, (much home made), a tad pricey, good selection of Gelato.
Indoor seating. Pleasant service.

This is a place I used to visit as a child and I was so happy to return to my hometown and see that it's still there, with bread and pastries as delicious as I remembered them. I'm so glad we made a point of stopping in!

The pastries and coffee are great but it's the gelato that's my favourite! So so sooo good, I love the lime and coconut in the summer and the vanilla affogato all year.

Yummy - great assortment of treats pastries as well as loaves. Stopped here and found a mouth watering sausage roll as well as some delicious pizza bread.
Stop in and enjoy

Absolutely amazing food and baked goods with the most helpful and kind staff. Hands down one of if not the best European bakeries in Victoria. It's like walking into a bakery in Italy. From opening the door to the smell of roasted hazelnuts and seeing the case filled with the most delectable desserts a d cookies, to the fine selection of imported tomato sauces, noodles and cheeses.

Also did I mention they make their own pasta and have the most delicious fresh gelato you've ever tasted? An absolute must go. You won't fail to immediately start snacking on a fresh baguette on your way out. They will even make and/or save you bread if you call ahead! Never have to worry about going a day with that delicious daily essential.

Gourmet alert! Everyone who loves European style pastries should come check The Italian Bakery! When I came today and saw the right meringue I lost it. I think it’s the first time I found meringue in Canada. Not the pie, meringue. It smelled right, like fresh eggs. I tried 6 different desserts, and small portion sizes are just perfect. Delicious! Seriously delicious, lots of texture, and in gingersnaps there is real ginger. It’s good I live far away from that place, because when I was leaving I bought 6 extra cookies to go. They also have selection of fresh bread, homemade pasta, and pizza dough. Ah, and coffee was 👌 I wish I could buy smaller cakes or slices, there is not a chance I can eat that size alone.
