Visiting from out of town and came in to pick out a birthday cake. Lovely older European ladies behind the counter who clearly know what they're doing in the kitchen. Beautiful selection of delicious cakes and treats in addition to some European grocery/specialty items. Also extremely well priced- only 15$ for a cake!!! Wish I had somewhere like this at home!
A wonderful bakery with high standards and affordable prices. We love stopping in at this bakery when we visit Nanaimo. The owners run an excellent business, where good freshly baked products, good service, and very reasonable prices are the rule of the day. Cleanliness, hard work, and high standards of consistent value always prevail, and the large open room gives a feeling of comfort and relaxation. We particularly like the pasties, pies, salads, and fruit tarts.
Stopped here for a light snack. Feasted on some delicious mousse like ham and cheese quiche, with a flaky crust. Also sampled some in house chocolates. They are no Papa Chocolat, but definitely satisfy this chocolate snob's craving.
I love coming home and visiting this bakery! Even better- it's close to home. With each visit I am never let down! Couldn't list all my favorites, I've been going there since it first opened--the kind of neighbourhood bakery only seen in movies :)
Excellent rye bread & croissants at very good prices!!
Looks great!. Had a hankering for some croissants last Saturday and stopped by Nanaimo Bakery for my first time (ever!) and was pleasantly surprised!
There was everything from napoleons to marzipan fruits to European breads to tarts! What a great selection... I had a hard time sticking to two croissants. Definitely will be back :)
Nanaimo Baker & Confectionary. Just amazing to find such a place in a city of this size. The pastry: "Torten" German style, cakes, danish pastry, cookies, etc. are simply excellent and much cheaper than any place else and they offer a good selection. They also make their own chocolates, truffles or soups which I have not tried. The seating is quite comfortable and stylish. Neither Vancouver nor Seattle have anything comparable to offer. You can also buy home-made bread. Enjoy your lunch repast, but revel in your afternoon coffee and cake.
Took my Mum here for a belated mothers day treat. Was planning on just having coffee and snacks but ended up getting breakfast and it was fantastic! $35 dollars for 3 full plate breakfasts plus coffee, tea, and a glass of the house made Strawberry Long Island Iced Tea. You can't beat that price! The new owners and staff are amazing and this is definitely a new go-to spot for myself and my family! Pic is of the breakfast- eggs, rosemary potatoes, bacon and fresh french bread toast!!
Also love the open space! It's very accessible which is awesome since quite a few of my friends and family have mobility issues and the assortment of locally made gifts and crafts for sale was cool too. Great to see small/local businesses supporting each other and our community!
What a nice discovery on the way from the ferry to Tofino. We got really hungry on our way and since it’s morning everything is close but Nanaimo Bakery.
We got delicious carrot cream and some pastries.
Very cute, granny place. I love it! Super nice service too.
This place is very clean and well organized. Washrooms are perfectly clean.
Extremely tasty food (the best Nanaimo bars I've tried so far and as they're a family favourite I've tried them at almost every place we've gone to!) The new atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. A great place to sit and relax while enjoying tasty food. The price point is also excellent! 100% recommend (so far we've tried their incredible cinnamon buns, Nanaimo bars and quiche! Can't wait to try more)
Beautiful renovations and updated features! Loved my salad, and enjoyed a delicious cinnamon bun… because I had a healthy salad 😉and a wonderful cup of coffee! Staff were so friendly, kind and inviting. I will definitely be going back!
One of the best Nanaimo Bars I have ever had!
The ‘everything bagel’ loaf of bread was delicious as well.
Prices were decent and the quality was great!
Will definitely come back when in town again!
Authentic Berliner doughnuts, select excellent German bread and buns, and good selection of desserts. Could offer higher quality tea, and coffee was good. Great place to take your Grandma for a date!
