Reviews

Two suites located above Willie's Bakery provide affordable, fun, and surprisingly stylish accommodations in the heart of the city. The front suite is a large, elegantly fumished studio with a bed/sitting room that opens into a dining room and full kitchen. Bright colors and cheerful accents, upscale furniture, high ceilings, large windows, and plenty of space make this a great home base for exploring Victoria. The second unit, a one-bedroom suite, overlooks the alley and patio of the II Terrazzo restaurant. The living room is painted red, which goes surprisingly well with the wood floors and funky furniture; the bedroom (with a king-size bed) is done in softer tones. The bathroom has a lovely claw-foot tub, breakfast is included and served at the bakery, parking is free, and you have your own front door.

Housed in a handsome Victorian building near Market Square, this bakery-cafe serves wholesome breakfasts, rich soups, delicious sandwiches made with house-baked bread, tasty baked treats, and house-made gelato. The brick patio with an outdoor fireplace and fountain is a great place to watch the world go by.

Testimonials

Loved it! 
 
I went to Willie's on a Thursday morning and found that there was no wait to be seated and was eating breakfast 10 minutes later. The staff was very friendly and available. I ordered pancakes and home fries along with oj and coffee. The extra large pancakes were smothered in mixed berries and served with real maple syrup. The home fries were baked and then fried. I was very pleased with Willie's. It was very enjoyable and the food delicious. The best coffee in Victoria!
