IN VICTORIA BRITISH COLUMBIA A FLOATING DESSERT SHOPPE MAKES FOR A SWEET AFTERNOON


Known for its colourful floating homes, delicious fish and chips, and perhaps even for its resident seal, Victoria's Fisherman’s Wharf is a must-see.

Now there is one more reason to venture down to this neighbourhood, The Wonderful, Wild, Whimsical Floating Dessert Shoppe. Open Monday to Sunday from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, this new shop offers its guests traditional, organic, and vegan desserts, made from local ingredients.

Found in a yellow houseboat alongside the docks, the shoppe houses local artwork, sells a variety of hot and cold beverages, delectable pies, vegan cakes, sumptuous tarts, wheat, dairy and egg-free cookies, along with their signature treats, the wonderful and wild, traditional and whimsical cupcakes available in regular and mini-size.
