Reviews for Origin Gluten-Free Bakery & Cafe in Victoria, BC

Wonderful little cafe. Amazing selection of sandwiches, cupcakes, pie, cookies, bread and more! I feel safe eating the food... here. One of my favourite spots to sit and write. The staff here were much kinder compared to the one in downtown Victoria. Myonly suggestion would be to add iced coffee, for us iced coffee lovers! Read more

I have celiac disease so this is a great place to get GF treats, snacks, desserts! We also got out wedding cake from here and it... was so yummy, some guests that tried it said you couldn't even tell it was GF, tasted just like any other cake. I recommend thisspot! Read more

Why is nothing priced on the shelves? How annoying is that? Secondly, I can't comment on the quality of the products, ended up... walking out because my partner and I were completely ignored while we stood at the counter waiting for 'our turn'. We weren'teven acknowledged! When it came our turn, the staff helped not one but two people who entered the establishment after us! Customer service is key to my experiences and this is the 2nd time I've been virtually ignored here. Won't need to make a 3rdmistake. Nope. Read more

Their prices aren't consistent. I have been going to this place for 4 weeks with my partner for GF sugar cookies and coffee.... Their prices for coffee are atrocious and charging over ~$1.30 for a refill is luxurious for me but I have paid those pricesbecause of the GF cookies. Over the last 3 weeks I have bought approximately 30 sugar cookies and unbeknownst to me I had beenpaying a 50% premium on the sugar cookies. I usually went in the morning and dealt with the morning staff. I am beyond lividthat their staff isn't trained properly on pricing. I was charged $15 for 6 sugar cookies and thats when I was alarmed first, Ieven mentioned to the cashier that they charge nearly $2.50 for a cookie. They dont have a way for cutomers to see prices otherthan looking over the counter to see the small ipad screen. I had noticed the price becuase I found $21 for 2 coffees and 6cookies to be quite expensive. Today I was charged $5 for 3 of the same cookies. Their prices arent consistent and to me thisplace has crookish practices. Either make the register visible so people can see what they are being charged, hand out receiptsby default or label your products clearly. I am out of money due to your failure to label prices on your products, to train yourstaff, your failure to have any screen of the register visible to the customer. Read more

We loved the variety and taste. Highly recommend the carrot cupcakes and the almond cake. Would definitely go there when in the... area. Read more

Bought the Dark Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake, Lemon Tart, and Almond Cake as a treat to share with my family. All were... delicious. The lemon filling was tart and fresh, we all couldn?t even tell the products were gluten free. The Almond cake wasalso moist, and the cheesecake was fantastic, strawberry filling was perfectly sweet to balance out the chocolate. I highlyrecommend you visit this bakery if you?re in town!

Pretty good local bakery with quality gluten free and vegan options. The green macha tea was somewhat inconsistent depending on... who prepared it but the coffee was a great pick me up for a weary traveler on holiday! Read more

It is so lovely to be in a place where we can eat EVERYTHING on the menu!! We enjoyed a breakfast bacon quiche, a brioche with... Parmesan and spinach (great flavour), a breakfast panini and a berry muffin. The bread used for the panini had amazing flavourand texture so we grabbed a loaf to take home. We are sorry not to live here but will definitely put it on our ?must visit? listfor when we return! We were also DELIGHTED to be asked to show our vaccine passports so we could sit and eat. Keep up the greatwork! Read more
