Advice: Open Monday – Saturday.

A true neighborhood bakeshop that’s community oriented shines bright in the heart of the East Village. Owned by Dana and Mark Blundell, who have been baking up a wonderful array of treats since they began. You will find all sorts of baked goods, cakes, pastries, pies, quiches and more. On the beverage side of things they support the local roasters by featuring both Salt Spring Coffee as well as Agro Roasters and you will find a full line-up of espresso beverages along with teas to round out the liquid offerings.

On my most recent visit I had the delicious tropical Don Ho Ukelele Hawaiian Muffin as well as one of the Ginger cinnamon cream Whoopies. Love the unique names they have for all of their goodies, looking forward to returning to try one of their oooey gooey cinnamon buns.
