Hi! I was the Filipino guy that ordered a dozen donuts and a beef roll from you today! Thank you so much! The donuts are fantastic and you were such a lovely person to both me and my partner! Highly recommend this place; the donuts are great!

The doughnuts are the I've ever had, with the wide range of choices I can get a different doughnut every time and they are all AMAZING.

Best donuts in Victoria. They are fluffy, soft, HUGE, and not too sweet. The Boston Cream especially is amazing, it is stuffed full of delicious custard.

Wow! These donuts are incredible! I ordered a variety of them to be picked up for my son’s birthday this past Thursday. They were ready for me, everything I had ordered was there & the service was very friendly. I noticed some apple danish’s in the display and I had to get one & I am so glad I did! The pastry was so flakey and the filling was pure perfection. I’ll be going back for more!
On to the donuts! They are tender, the flavours are delicious and they reminded me of ones I would get in Montreal as a child. I haven’t tasted anything like these here in Victoria. Oh, I think I forgot to mention the size of them! They’re big! One bite and you know you’ll be going back!

Esquimalt Bake Shop made several dozen assorted donuts for our May 2023 wedding. We picked them up the morning of and didn’t take any special precautions, and they were still fresh and tasty in the evening. They were the cheapest thing on our dessert table but the most popular by far! We did cut the donuts in half for guests as they are quite large portions. Would highly recommend as a reasonably priced dessert option for events!

We got a assortment of doughnuts, all of which were fantastic. The blueberry and lemon filling was out of this world!

I had my wedding on August 6 and ordered different types of donut and the sausage rolls. Everything was amazing. Our guests gave a lot complements. Thank you the owner so much, you are so kind and sweet.

Great service! Wide range of delicious donut options.
Ordered in the evening and order was ready by 9am as requested. Family gathering for a birthday party, and everyone enjoyed the donuts DELICIOUS! The reaction from damily members was eye popping and draw dropping when they saw the donut size and the variety, WELL DONE to the staff at ESq Bakery! We had extra and ate them the next day and still, very tasty and fluffy.
Prior to party I gathered my grandchildren to do a blind taste test with donuts I purchased from 2 other donuts stores that were highly recommended, and all of them voted for #3 which was Esquimalt Bake Shop! We created a mini donut wall instead of serving birthday cake.
Service was exceptional when she asked what our occasion was for she happily smiled and gave the birthday boy a triple chocolate chip cookie, the cookies are large too.

I've never been big on donuts as a dessert but I definitely an now! Lol

If you're a deep fried donut lover like myself, you've found the right place! These donuts are the best in Victoria in my opinion and they're huge! Honestly I've been looking for some great donuts and have been a bit underwhelmed by a lot of the ones I've tried (all yummy but usually baked which isn't my favourite way to eat them). Lemon blueberry donut is easily my favourite there but so many other amazing flavours as well!

These donuts don’t disappoint! We often order them for the office, the flavours are always really good. There’s an option to pre order by emailing them which I like to opt for.

Absolutely delicious. The dough is so soft and airy, and the different flavours & icings are scrumptious. Go here if you want a tantalizing tastebud experience!

Huge, delicious, fluffy donuts. We order ahead when we are planning a visit to Victoria and the friendly owners have our order waiting for us. Might be the best donuts on Vancouver Island.

These are the best donuts I've ever tasted! We bought some raspberry jellies and they taste just like the ones we bought years ago. Absolutely will be back! Thanks!

It isn't everyday you discover such a charming local family business that proudly serves a variety of onsite baked goods. This fine bakery shop is becoming very FAMOUS for their BEST HAND DIPPED DONUTS, amazing sourdough bread, tasty savory pies, sausage rolls, oat, date squares, cookies & tarts. Debit or CASH better shop early or order ahead so you will not be disappointed! Excellent shop & friendly customer service! XOXO

I went there my first time today but they just sold out of Donuts! Someone had ordered the maple Bacon but never picked up. Thank you to the the person that did not come to get them. Amazing Donuts and service that made our day when we had a rough week.
We will be back!

Such a great bakery! We had a donut wall at our wedding last month and everyone loved it! All the guests were raving about the donuts. It was also super easy and smooth working with the family that owns it. They're amazing!

Love this bakery, huge doughnuts that are generously filled. From lemon curd to custard fillings, they're all so tasty. Also reasonably priced! The lady that runs the place is very nice!
