Must-Try Bakery on Vancouver Island: Crust Bakery πŸ₯

During my two-day trip to Victoria, I made two pilgrimages to Crust Bakery – and for good reason! This charming little bakery is a hidden gem that deserves all the attention it can get. 🍰 My Pastry Adventure First Visit (The Pistachio Revelation) Arriving in the afternoon, the display case was nearly empty – just a few lonely tarts and crumbs remained. I spotted a pistachio tart and decided to give it a shot, along with a lemon and passion fruit slice (which was so tart it made my eyes water!). But that pistachio tart? Absolute perfection. The combination of nutty pistachio and sweet condensed milk on a flaky, buttery crust was divine. ($5.50 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) Second Visit (The Full Experience) Determined to try more, I returned the next day and bought almost everything: Lychee, Raspberry & Rosewater Pastry – This was even better than the pistachio tart! The floral rosewater paired with tart raspberry and sweet lychee was balanced genius, and the crunchy base with pistachio crumbs took it to another level. ($4.50 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) Lemon & Passionfruit Slice – Still extremely tart (not for the faint-hearted!), but refreshing if you love bold citrus flavors. ($5.25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐) Apple Strudel – Way too sweet for my taste, though the pastry itself was perfectly crisp. ($5.15) Chocolate Tart – Good, but not mind-blowing. ($5.50) Cookies – Sold in glass jars, these were crispy, buttery, and delicious! ✨ Why Crust Bakery Stands Out βœ”οΈ Inventive flavor combinations (lychee + rosewater? Yes please!) βœ”οΈ Perfect textures – flaky, crunchy, creamy in all the right places βœ”οΈ Small-batch freshness – things sell out fast for a reason πŸ“ Location & Tips πŸ“Œ Where: Victoria (exact address not mentioned, but worth tracking down!) ⏰ Pro Tip: Go early for the best selection – they sell out fast! Final Verdict? If you're in Victoria, Crust Bakery is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place that makes you appreciate slow travel – taking time to savor little moments (and pastries) in a small island town. #VictoriaEats #BakeryHeaven #FoodieFinds #VancouverIsland #TravelBC πŸ₯¨βœ¨
