Nanaimo Bakery & Cafe

We visited this bakery on a road trip to BC, when we had taken the ferry over to Nanaimo. Of COURSE we had to buy Nanaimo bars while in Nanaimo! The bakery was easy to find with lots of parking. The inside of the bakery surprised me with how large and spacious it was. The tables were laid out nicely and there was a variety of art displayed on the walls - I loved that touch. They bakery offers local goods such as jams, mustards, dry soup mixes and so on. We chose a jam and a "Mustard Lady" mustards as well as Potato Leek soup mix - before we even got to the bakery order area! We ordered 4 Nanaimo bars and a cheese bread. The staff were very friendly, especially when we told them we were from Manitoba and wanted to get our Nanaimo bars in Nanaimo. Another customer also chatted with us while she waited to pay. We placed coffee and tea orders at a separate counter and enjoyed our desserts at a cute table along the wall where we could look at some of the art. It is a lovely place . We enjoyed this bakery very much.

Very cozy and spacious bakery with some tables to sit and enjoy your treats. The selection of confections was good, and everything we tried was quite tasty. What I really appreciated, however, were the friendly and personable staff, who were more than willing to share a quick laugh and offer some pressure-free recommendations.

I'm French and came before taking the ferry, bought sandwiches and quiches. It was delicious, I was able to eat my first Nanaimo bar, thank you for this good memory. There is a lot to choose from in the store, and the employees are all very friendly.
