About

Charming French-style bakery and café on Commercial Street known for house-made croissants, baguettes, and creative brunch dishes. The eggs Benedict served on a butter-fried croissant is a local legend. Their Nanaimo Bar version is one of the best on the Nanaimo Bar Trail. Housed in the restored 1900s Gusola Block heritage building.
