Great bakery wish it were open more often
July 25, 2014We always have to stop here when out of town guests come up for a visit. The kids (and adults) love the pastries. Did lunch here a couple of times recently and the vegetarian chili is awesome. Would be nice if they were open on Sundays and Mondays too

Great pastries, Great Coffee
July 22, 2014Stopped in mid afternoon for coffee. Enjoyed homemade chicken sausage roll (local sausage) and a couple of baked goods. All baked on premises and all very good. Highly recommended.

Fantastic
July 17, 2014Once we found this wonderful bakery we went twice a day while in Sooke. The strudel was the best we've ever had, the rye bread delicious and a beautiful texture and the coffee the best we had in Sooke. They quickly understood how to make it the way I wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful and attentive to dietary... more

Wonderful
July 14, 2014We did a 4200km road trip all around the Pacific Northwest and hit over 30 restaurants in the process. At the completion of our journey when we asked our kids what restaurant was their favourite of all the spots we visited they said the "Little Vienna Bakery" and said that their flour less hazelnut crunch bar was their all time... more

Excellent
July 07, 2014
Arrived after they had finished for lunch, but they still accommodated us and we had an excellent lunch. Very clean, friendly and tasty food. The pie was delicious.
A great place to stop in for fresh food.
Ate outside in a nice little garden, staff very friendly and would certainly go back.

Beautiful pastries, but breakfast was a slight disappointment
June 20, 2014The pastries really are the star here. On Saturdays there are creeps with limited range of fillings, but nice. Skip the French toast - very mediocre. The pizza special was okay. You need to have time here as the service is not quick. Coffee is pricey and you will need several cups if you are waiting. The pastries and bread... more

Delightful refreshment
June 12, 2014My friend and I were just out exploring our own backyard (we live in Victoria), and decided to stop for a little refreshment. We were met by a very friendly owner, who helped us decide what we wanted. I had the amazing broccoli salad, and then one of the equally amazing Schnecke with a very good cup of coffee made... more

Fantastic STop for Breakfast
June 09, 2014Gorgeous little cafe right in town. Decorated like a cafe in Europe. The coffee was fantastic, the croissant breakfast sandwich delicious. The service and conversation with the owner was excellent. The outdoor patio was gorgeous with flowers in bloom and hidden from the road. Highly recommend this place!!!

Yummy for my tummy
June 05, 2014Saw it off to the side of the road. Don't pass it by. Excellent home made deliciousness. They know how to make a great cup of java. Wonderful pastries. We ended up ordering extra strudel with whipped cream and we had already had a cinnamon roll. Customer service was friendly and on top of it. Wish I had one back... more

So Delicious & Accommodating
May 27, 2014As a travelling couple we are dietary challenges to a lot of cafes we go to being a vegetarian + vegan couple. The staff at Little Vienna were so accommodating we had one of the most memorable meals of our week long trip here. Highly recommended.

Slow Service
March 03, 2014By slow service I mean that I have walked out of the bakery due to the lengthy wait at the cash till. It's not that there are many in the line, it's that it seems to take forever to process each customer. Bread is very good but the loaves seem to be getting smaller over the years particular since the... more

Best place in Sooke for lunch
October 29, 2013By far the best place in Sooke for a bowl of soup or a sandwich. Choice is limited but to be expected in a small town establishment. What they do is done very well. I always pick up a loaf of their oat bread when it is available.(usually on Tuesdays)

Great Bakery
October 05, 2013The Island has many excellent bakeries but if you are in Sooke, you can't go wrong at the Little Vienna. The strudel is a good as I have ever had anywhere, very light and not too sweet. Excellent with a good coffee. They had everything from Haystacks to really good looking flour dusted, round white loaves. Unfortunately I was stuck... more

August 12, 2013We had lunch twice at Little Vienna during our stay in Sooke. The food is fresh, made to order, and they were happy to make substitutions on request.

Little Vienna Bakery makes it well worth the drive to Sooke
May 31, 2013Having spent the past couple of days in Victoria it was time to venture out. I decided I'd have my lunch in Sooke. While the drive is not terribly straightforward for a tourist it was well worth the trouble when I happened upon the only remaining bakery in Sooke. The staff were friendly and all the baked goods exceedingly tempting.... more

We love the food at Little Vienna Bakery and have gone there many times. The bakery products are superb, especially the bread, but the cookies and muffins are fantastic too. The lattes are excellent.

Contrary to what we might have thought before our visit, he liked it more than she did. That could have been due, in part, to her poor order choice; The Parisienne, which lacked substance overall, making it of questionable value, but she was also disappointed with the soup of the day; mushroom, as it lacked flavor.

Bakery and Cafe -- Yummmm
December 01, 2012Little Vienna has beautiful tortes, desserts and breads to take home. But for me, the lattes and the treats available for consumption on the spot are what bring me back time after time. Flourless chocolate brownies or cake, and the various pastries are so tastey, and the veggie chili is one of my favorite lunchtime treats.
