This German bakery is always packed at lunchtime. They offer many breads, pretzels, sandwiches, desserts and two daily soups. You can phone in an order and have the bread waiting for you when you arrive. They're only open until about 5 pm at the St. Mary's location on weekdays and are closed on Sundays.
The German breakfast (coffee, two crusty buns with jam and butter, cheese and ham) is my mother's favourite and I get the crusty or seed bun sandwich. They will make a vegetarian version and I'm happy that they've been offered to add an extra piece of cheese to replace the meat since they're the same price. The sandwich is a bit light but you can also add the soup to it. The pretzels are quite tasty as well. I've tried a few of the desserts but none really stood out to me.
One of the best place to enjoy fresh bake breads and goodies. I love their hazelnut twirls and the witch pretzels. They also serve coffee with ample seats at this location. Quite busy but service was fast and friendly. Be back.
Crusty Bun is amazing, they use spelt flower and no preservatives in their Bread. Just like a good European bakery. Love the pumpkin seed buns and the Crusty bun. The desserts their are fantastic, all homemade products. Homemade soups are excellent! The BEST bakery in Winnipeg
Crusty Bun is an European bakery located 5 mins from the St Vital Mall. They have a wide selection of pastries. I absolutely love that there is a seating area in the bakery so customers can have their order fresh there!
Below are a few items I've had and my thoughts to them:
- Bee-sting Cake: This is a German dessert that is made of a sweet yeast dough topped with caramelized almonds. It is filled with a vanilla custard and buttercream. It was good but it was too sweet IMO.
- Ham & Cheese Pretzel: Excellent! This is my favourite pretzel ever!!!! Make sure you get there early if you plan to get one because they are sold out quick! Highly recommended!
- Chocolate Croissant: Really good! This is my significant other's go-to order! Highly recommended!
- Danube Waves: This is a German vanilla cake that is topped with chocolate cake, cherries, butter cream and chocolate ganache. The one that I had from Crusty Bun had too much buttercream....if they had cut down the buttercream, it would have been perfect.
- Witch Pretzel: this caramel twisted pretzel is topped with sugar glaze. I probably wouldn't get this again. It was way too sweet IMO.
In summary, if you have never been to The Crusty Bun, I would highly recommend it! It is definitely worth the try! Just keep in mind that the dessert pastries are generally pretty sweet but they do a great job with all their other pastries.
Yummy vegetable soup. Usually hit timmies for quick lunch but decided for something more homemade. Sandwich and soup was very good. My husband had fruit cheese cake but he didn't like it. Bit pricey and with counter service debit asked for tip. Oh well good thing the food was
So good
This is a great German deli, the pretzels are legit like mama used to make and everything is oh so fresh. Deserts are very flavourful and not too sweet.
I've been searching for sour dough bread that has been fermented 24 hours to give rich flavour and health benefits. Crusty Bun definitely delivered! All their bread is apparently sour dough, but the one I got was Farmers sourdough and omgosh soooo good. And less than 7 bucks for half a loaf! Half a loaf was actually bigger than a regular loaf you would get at a grocery store. Also had 2 of their little pie things, also very flavorful and priced fairly. Exceeded my expectations and I think I will be getting all my bread from here from now on!! :)
Yum yum! Delicious! Decor is fresh and cute. I felt like I was in a cafe in London. Lots of variety in baked goods. It was hard to pick out something to try. I can't wait to go back and try more items. This is a great place to get unique fresh baked bread and sweet treats!
This is a local Winnipeg gem that you must visit. Buns are made fresh daily and you can enjoy a hand made sandwich using fresh ingredients. There are tables and chairs to enjoy your sandwich with a coffee and also their hand made desserts. Better get there early or order in advance to make sure you get your selection guaranteed. Check out their daily soup as well.
There is something for everyone to try and enjoy. My favorite is a salami sandwich.
Love love Crusty Bun!
Everything here is so yummy!
Just treat yourself to something nice from here.
Nice selection of baked good. Croissants are great here! Come earlier in the day to make sure they still have some. Lots of breads to choose from, they will slice it for you if you all.
My go to bakery for bread. The breads and crusty buns have such a nice outer crunch to them. The prices are very reasonable. The pastries are delicous and have some nice classics. Probably about 10-15 different kinds of pastries to choose from. A little coffee shop is a added bonus. I usually meet a friend for coffee and a pastery, and then buy my bread to go home.
Excellent first experience. 5 stars for the food and it's variety. 5 stars for friendly and helpful staff. 5 stars for the restaurant itself - great layout, spacious and easy parking.
Will be back soon!
It's my childhood bakery. I've been coming here since I was a child. The bread and pastries are always baked fresh and the service is always fast and attentive. I especially recommend the classic crusty buns, the pig ears and the crazy sticks.
Great little bakery. Awesome crusty buns and a variety of breads. Raisen buns are always so fresh and tasty. Excellent staff as well.
Today was my first visit here - I came here for lunch with two colleagues and we had a great experience! Excellent professional service, they had vegetarian options as well as meat, soup if you don’t eat bread, and delicious pastries. There’s not a huge selection but if you’re looking for simple, fresh ingredients and excellent quality bread, it’s the place for you! I didn’t have the coffee here but maybe next time will try it. But I bought some pastries to take home and they were a hit - super fresh, European-style, flavourful. Also, the place was bustling-busy and I bumped into two other people I knew!
