It’s about time to ditch the iced coffees and ice cream and sit down with something sweet and cinnamon-y.

Now, we’re not saying you can’t have ice cream during autumn (I mean, we usually do). But that said, fall is a great season to start hunkering down and getting cozy with some very particular treats.

The best part is, Victoria bakeries and coffee shops are home to some of the best tasting treats in the Pacific Northwest. Check them out.

Crust Bakery

Almost nobody can beat Crust Bakery at the pastry game. Its “apple crack” and salted almond pastry and its cinnamon and raisin pastry scroll are quintessential fall treats.
