I found out about this bakery from my guide book, which described the cinnamon buns. So I ordered one and my boyfriend ordered a carrot muffin. They were both served cold and didn't seem fresh at all. Granted it was mid-afternoon, but if they're stale, they should probably not go out the door. The muffin was very dense and dry.... More

Beautiful chocolate croissants and Americano,...the perfect snack after driving in from Victoria. Looking forward to sampling more goodies next trip.

We needed food before a kayak outing and didn't fancy the high end restaurant at our hotel. If you want a quick breakfast and good coffee, go here. We went back again the next day.

Fabulous breakfasts, along with freshly baked goodies and well-made coffee, everything you need to start the day off with before exploring Tofino.

We stopped in here for some bread and croissants one morning. Really good. The baguette was still warm our of the oven and the croissants were great.

Always a plus to stop in the bakery and grab a freshly baked good after a long days hike or first thing in the morning before starting your day with a cup of coffee

Ate here two mornings in a row - the scrambled eggs and toast. The bread was a fabulous artisan loaf bread. My friend camped out to work while I took her two labs on a great hike to the lighthouse beach.

I have been going to Common Loaf Bakery for many years - first as a tourist, now as a resident - and it has always offered customers good food for reasonable prices. If you want to visit one place in Tofino that captures the less commercial, more community-spirited ambiance that characterized Tofino in the past, spend an hour or two... More

We went to go and get sandwiches to go out for a day trip but the selection didn't appear to be appetizing...so we settled on 2 cinnamon buns. They were excellent, we loved them. Many people came in buying their loaves of bread for the day, it was a hot spot for sure.

This is a good place to interact with the locals while sipping a coffee or enjoying lunch. Don't forget their delicious breads, muffins and other baked goods. There is gluten free offers as well.
