Honey Grove Bakery — Restaurant in Courtenay

Update: Thanks for the correction! I didn't know it was not suppose to be cinnamon, so I updated my score 5/5 ⭐

Come if you want pastries that doesn't cut any corners. I ordered a apple pecan pastry $5, croissant $3.50, and cinnamon knot $3.

The apple pecan packed a lot of flavor and has great texture. You can tell they put extra attention in crafting this wonderful masterpiece. The croissant was flaky, light and buttery. It tasted like the ones I had in France. The cinnamon knot was my least favorite but it was okay. I believe it was cinnamon but honestly I didn't really look at the sign.

The service was friendly and professional. The location is in a industrial area tucked around the side. I drove by the first time but spotted their lawn signage. It's not much to look at from the outside or inside. I do wish they had a little more choices. I don't mind paying more for better quality food but it's still a tad pricier than I would like to pay. That's why it prevented me from giving it 5 stars. My recommendation is grab a coffee or tea, pick up a few pastries and head over to a park...

I love love love this bakery. The sourdough breads, croissants, and other items are so we'll made. Yes you may pay a bit more than commercial breads at the grocery store but wouldn't you for quality, and "real" sourdough? The croissants are wonderful light, flaky, and not greasy. There is real love and care baked into this bread. I can't say enough about this place and the staff. Superb. If you're in town you must try it. If you've had sourdough in the past and didn't like it. Try it again here. I will guarantee you it's not anything like you've had before. I used to not like sourdough till I came here. And it's great if you have digestive issues with regular bread. I just wish I could take this bakery with me when we leave the island...

High end French bakery hidden between a car rental and an indoor skate park. Once you find it, the interior is welcoming with beautifully displayed goods and knowledgeable staff to help direct you as the selection is wide and varied. The morning bun was perfection - not overly sweet, perfectly frosted, with a croissant base. The ham and cheese bun is an upgrade on the savory bun with a second bake of ham and Swiss layered over top. Sesame seeds dot the interior of the bun which is light and flavorful. There is a single table on the outdoor porch facing a busy road and a kids’ water park, but you won’t care about anything other than what you’re eating while...
