Little Vienna Bakery, Cafe & Marketplace — Restaurant in Sooke

Came in for breakfast. Was asked if I wanted potatoes on the side for everything I ordered- wasn't told they were an extra and cost $3.00 more. The eggs Benedict had such a vinegar taste that it was sour, and the breading it was in was so tough that even the steak knife provided had to work to get through it. Our other meal we ordered had eggs and sausage which were quite tasty, but the toast... looked just like bread, no "toasted" look to it at all, however was hard and crusty and difficult to chew. It was almost more dehydrated rather than toasted. For two breakfasts and two coffees, the cost was around $33 and we did not enjoy it enough to consider coming back to try the breakfast menu again. That being said, the last time I was there we ordered panini lunches and they were absolutely delicious. The lemon pound cake was horribly dry, but their strawberry tartlet was tasty. It does inspire me to want to try again though. I will be going back to try other cakes and their Saturday crepe special. Most reviews are so good I must have just picked the wrong stuff on the...

Little Vienna Bakery is a family-owned business located just west of the town centre. With a focus on fresh, European-style bakery items from treats and cakes to every kind of bread imaginable, the current owners took this already-popular establishment and created something truly next-level.

I'll often visit in the morning (it's right across the highway from Sooke's premier real estate office!) for an espresso and breakfast - they have tremendous eggs Benedict among many other items. At lunch, you can't beat their freshly-made sandwiches and they're the only place that has managed to make vegetarian chili so good I don't miss the meat.

Their focaccia bread is out of this world, and their staff is very friendly and helpful - true ambassadors for the west coast hospitality our town is famous for.

When you go, just order a schnecke, you'll be...

Did you know that Little Vienna Bakery will do deliveries. Typical of any of their services they always 'deliver' with heart. (pardon the pun). Today I was too sick to drive anywhere, and didn't want to share my germs. I phoned to see if I could arrange a take out order that someone could pick up for me. When they offered delivery that was even better. Their delicious Tuscany Tomato soup arrived piping hot and full to the brim. I was feeling like tomato soup, but their Tuscany Tomato Soup was way better! Rich in flavor and still smooth like tomato soup. This is the first time I have had a delivery from there, sands it was excellent. But if possible to eat at the Little Vienna Bakery instead, it really has a nice nostalgic atmosphere like a small European village. And the service is excellent. Thank you so much to the staff at Little...
