Reviews for Bubby Rose's Bakery & Cafe in Victoria, BC
CELIACS BEWARE I stumbled upon Bubby?s shortly before catching a bus out of town, and was delighted to see they had a great... selection of individually wrapped gluten free baked goods and breakfast options, including a gluten free breakfast sandwich,which I ordered. It?s important to note that the cafe is not a dedicated gluten free facility, and I understand there is alwaysa risk of cross contamination when regular baked goods are present, however I am shocked by the lack of care the employee tookin this case. When my sandwich was served at the front, I was immediately a bit skeptical that perhaps the barista might haveprepared a regular breakfast sandwich, because he didn?t specify it was gluten free when he called my order. Before grabbing theplate, I double checked with him that it was in fact gluten free, and he reassured me that it was, although his body languagesuggested he didn?t care either way. Trusting him, I took my order and ate the sandwich , still uneasy about the situation butallowing my hunger to get the best of me. Before leaving, I went back to the counter and saw that a pile of regular breakfastsandwiches (with a white sticker) were shoved where the gluten free ones should have been, with two only two gluten freesandwiches (with a yellow sticker) remaining at the front of the display case, which looked slightly different than the othersand the one I had been served, and immediately realized my suspicion was correct and they had served me the wrong sandwich.While I recognize I am ultimately at fault for not continuing to follow up, the lack of respect and poor management of glutenfree offerings suggests that the risk of cross contamination is high, and the staff clearly don?t care, either. While I realizethat mistakes happen and I am ultimately at fault for eating the sandwich and not following up further, the negligence Iexperienced not only in my interaction with the staff member who prepared the sandwich, but also seeing how littl Read more

5 stars for the hazelnut oat milk latte and breakfast sandwich but 1 star for the cinnamon bun. The bun unfortunately was dry... and stale? as if it was sitting out there for days before it got sold to me ????. But the latte was heavenly! ??Will be backfor the latte! Read more

Yummy breakfast sandwich with rich, melting cheddar cheese and egg and pesto. Latte was great and kept me awake the whole... day. Just a suggestion? Idk if the barista wasn?t in a good mood in the morning but maybe it would be nicer if they could befriendly to customers, especially when it?s not busy inside! Just seemed a little cold bc there was no conversation other thanmaking my order. Read more
Do not think about it. So far best desserts I've tried in so long! So I've always like dessert but must of the times in happy... with them but there's is something missing. I've ordered new York cheesecake, flourless chocolate tart and apple caramel applecrumble, and let me tell you they were amazingly delicious! My favorite would be the cheesecake. I was looking for the perfectcheesecake in BC and found it here. Totally my favorite place for sure Read more
Had a great latte and Salmon Breakfast Sandwich here (the sandwiches are pre-made, but they heated it up for me). The breakfast... sandwich is made of buttery, savoury biscuits which are delicious. Took some cinnamon buns to-go: very tasty (almost as good asmy mom's... but that's a high bar). Reasonable prices. Solid place - check it out if you're in the area. *Note: Bubby's bun isthe left one in the pic; I did a "cinnabun-off" against the Sally Bun, and I have a slight preference for Bubby's (although bothwere good).
