Church Street Woodfired Bakery — Restaurant in Comox

We ordered two pizzas (Margharita and Garlic Twist) and a couple of treats and coffee, over $65 total in price.The danish I had was amazing, but the chocolate donut was meh. The layer of chocolate on top was caked on and fell off in one piece when my partner bit into it. Flavour of the yeast donut itself was ok. I've definitely had better.

The pizzas were just kind of average. The Margharita was below average: the crust had little flavour compared with what you would expect a wood fired pizza to have. Margharitas benefit from a flavourful long fermentation crust, light basil infused sauce and real fior di latte for richness. This Margharita had a heavily salted overly spicy (hot even) sauce, just bucketed on the pizza, (it was really thick) and tiny pieces of bocconcini (1 per slice), zero basil flavour, and a thick flavourless crust. It really shouldn't be called a Margharita. It was bread with gunky sauce. The Garlic Twist was better in balance of flavours but had the same spicy salty sauce on it, and obviously the same bland crust. They were too expensive of what they were. I would come back for the danishes and try some other treats, but that would be about it.

Customer service: friendly but scattered, bordering on unprofessional, or maybe they are just young. The person behind the counter had to be reminded multiple times of the details of the order, forgot as soon as you told them, and forgot to make the coffee after we paid. It took an inordinate amount of time to get the order together and the covid line-up was forming outside. In the bakery itself, there were young employees looking like they didn't quite belong. One dressed in a blouse hacking away at some brittle, or something that seemed to be stuck to a tray, or trying to figure out how to cut it (?), another trying to help, and a third just standing about. It was a bit of a weird scene. I'm not sure they actually worked there or were hanging out with their buddies. When we returned to pick up the pizzas, we grabbed them off the counter, and another person passing by behind the counter abruptly and loudly asked "Did you pay for that??". "Umm yes", and response of "just checking" was received. Then just check your order receipts.

I'm sure this place has a loyal following, but I'd get pizza...

Please don't share this information with anyone, I'd advise current customer's to keep it hush-hush. Because this place is destined to become more popular then it already is.

It is easy to be convinced that the food here comes directly from the heaven's above .

The atmosphere is cute, cozy, comfortable. There is ample, though somewhat crowded seating, indoors. There is also outdoor seating, weather permitting. People behind the counter are friendly, helpful & extremely enthusiastic about the food (who can blame them). Solid...

I’m officially disgusted by the markup they charge on items that honestly are just average. Over the years I have repeatedly tried to give them opportunities to impress me but I continue walking out of there with a sense of bewilderment. It’s insulting, and all this mention around the till about tipping? My guilt over the wonderful server is my only reason to even consider it in the first place but my sense of reason takes over and I realize this is all a ruze. They get her to make you feel like you are doing them a service by ridiculously overpaying. I’m done falling for it. Now I only go there out of need, which is only a few times a year and I only get coffee. Charge what you like Church st but you’re not a welcome sight in my community and you won’t be getting my...
