Love everything. Especially the OLIVE bread, and multi grains. After eating these breads, can no longer eat groceries bought breads anymore. Also cheese and bacon breakfast rolls are to die for.
I felt like I had stepped into Europe, the buns I bought were light, fresh rosemary flavoured. Amazing place,
Best bakery in town. I love this bakery. I like all of their products but the croissants are the best I have ever had and the focaccia is soft and very tasty - perfect for grilled sandwiches or garlic bread. The staff are friendly and helpful. I just keep going back for more!

The croissants are outstanding. Flakey, buttery French goodness! I also love the bread and the brioches. Best bakery in Victoria.
Butterific. I've had a butterscotch brioce and a pain de chocolate and both were pretty awesome.
Few weeks ago my friend and I visited Victoria. In the evening our sweet tooth was torturing us. So we went to “The French Oven Bakery” in the Victoria Public Market. Although the selection was not so large anymore (it was shortly before closing time) we could buy some items. The price was ok and the service friendly. And the taste of all of them was pretty delicious. If someone want to have fresh, tasty baked thing, one should go there. It is certainly recommended.

Very delicious little bakery, with incredibly friendly staff. The bread is fantastic, and especially the breakfast croissants. I would highly recommend this little spot, located in the Public Market.
This Bakery could be considered a hidden gem do to it's less visible location at the back of the Hudson. I highly recommend seeking it out while you're in the area as the breads and pastries here are fantastic. Personal favourites include the garlic stuffed baguettes, brioches, and their buns. Prices are a bit higher than getting regular baked good, but, the quality is more than worth it.
Love the excellent treats and breads from here! Everything I have tried is delicious! The frozen chocolate croissants come with detailed instructions to make the best fresh-baked pain au chocolat right at home. Warm from the oven heaven.
The staff are all lovely as well. When I'm in this part of downtown I choose parking so I can include a stop at French oven bakery! Cannot think of a better way to conclude an event in centennial square than a short jaunt over to French oven bakery!
I love this Bakery!! I am slowly making my way through everything they sell and I have not had a bad experience yet! My go to favourite treat is the Monkey Bread! A cross between a croissant and a cinnamon bun these are so flaky and mouth wateringly delicious! Or the almond croissants... hard to choose!! I like the Dark Rye bread and the quiche too! Oh yummy, yum, yum French Oven Bakery!! p.s. the staff is wonderfully friendly too!!
Love the market offerings at the Sidney and Saanich Fair. I recommend the chocolate almond croissant and the French loaf. Pleasant service, fresh tasty and well made products - this bakery has it all and it shows up consistently . They are the main reason I attend these markets.
Hands down best bakery in Victoria! We've tried so many others and nothing can compare to the French Oven's stuffed garlic loaves....seriously amazing. Also, the raspberry turnovers are a slice of heaven.
This bakery has a wide range of goods that aren't just confined to French classics such as various flavours of croissants, pains au chocolat, choux pastries and heaps of meringue. Among this wide assortment, however, there was one, no two things that were just calling out to me: poppy seed buns. My favourite baked good in the most unlikely of places, and there were two types at that: the poppy seed brioche and the poppy seed roll (I forgot the name of the second one). It's so beautiful! ;-; -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"
I love that everything is baked fresh the night before and the bacon and cheddar croissant is a nice treat in the morning! They also have fabulous staff that create a friendly and fun bakery experience.
Good coffee. Solid choice of pastries. The people that work there are french speaking and deliver an authentic French taste on their products. The sitting area could be more charming.
