Cottage Bakery & Cafe

We just had lunch at the bakery, delicious sandwiches on the BEST bread. I found the customer service excellent, too. Highly recommended.

One of a few of Winnipeg's BEST Bakeries !   The products, bread, pastries, and specialty, dessert items are fantastic .   I have purchased many of the Cottage's bakery items over the years and they have never, failed me.  Staff are friendly and ready to serve.   The products are worth the trip and good value for your $.  "Fresh" is the word and the taste can't be beat.

Every so often I run across a place, and wonder to myself, how did I miss this place for so long. Cottage Bakery on Pembina Highway is one such place. I lived just off Pembina and McGillivray for the best part of nine years. I was about four blocks from Cottage Bakery and yet somehow never managed to visit. In the end, my first visit came about 15 years after I left the area, because I needed change for the bus. I simply bought a coffee to go. However, that first visit was enough to convince me that I wanted and needed to return.

Amazing sticky buns!. Truly amazing sticky buns. To die for!! :)

Excellent pastry and bread. I tried tasty banana split and lemon mango pastries they were excellent. Bread were tasty and fresh you can see everthing is made from scratch. I wanted to try sandwiche but cafe side was so busy ,i'll come bake again

Yummy chocolate dome. Great little place on Pembina (across from the Safeway near McGillivray and Pembina). There's a little cafe inside that serves up soup sandwiches, coffees, lattes and teas while the other side is the bakery selling fresh baked breads, cookies, muffins, cakes etc. It is a sit down place though not a ton of seating but enough for a place like this.

The mini chocolate dome ($2.99) is an individual size chocolate coated mousse, with a soft chocolate cake bottom and a tiny taste of caramel in the middle of the dome. The dome is very light for something this chocolately. I'd definitely get this gain. I got an apple turnover ($1.75), cherry turnover ($1.99), apple streudel ($2), mini chicken pot pie ($2.50). The turnovers were very flaky and weren't too sweet. The cherry one has some custard inside too which was nice. The apple streudel was a bit sweeter than the apple turnover but was still good. The mini chicken pot pie had a flaky crust but was missing some major seasoning.

Most of the fresh baked breads range from $2.50 for the white bread to about $4.50 for more specialty breads. The baguette ($2.50) is pretty good though not as crusty as others but tastes good when warmed up as it is kinda chewy.

Overall service was nice though the person there didn't have much tasting knowledge of the products but told me which items were most popular. Most of their items like cakes and brownies are sold by the slice but if you want to get a whole cake, you can definitely order with them, there aren't any whole cakes just sitting there for pick up. Lots of fresh baked bread that looked really delicious as well as some packaged cookies, cinnamon buns, tarts etc.
