It's a new experience for us--something fresh and contemporary. The taste and appearance of the croissants are worth every penny, and the European bread is exactly what we've been searching for all these years.

one time visit to Steiner, a 30+ year operation, as we left Campbell River on our way north…read more Delicious looking wide variety of pastries, breads, and cakes. Enticing looking lunch menu. Also a seating area for sipping and noshing. We chose two large croissants for sandwich making later and a "gotta have it now" apple fritter. I without fail will search out a local bakery everywhere in the world I travel, and I will say with zero hesitation that this still warm, cinnamony, fritter was right at the top of fritters/pastries I've ever enjoyed anywhere. Could not have been more perfect. If I had the time, I would have turned the car around gone back for another. I look forward to visiting the area again and enjoying another fritter or two and many more of this bakery's selection of surely delicious items.

I love bread in all forms. So long as you are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside (somewhat…read morelike a baked armadillo - for ex-pat British reviewers, this may make some semblance of sense) - I am all yours. Apparently, Cakebread do a mean garlic loaf - with a whole bulb baked into the center. What is there not to love about that? Anyway, I didn't get to try it, so I can't review it - I just will dream about that instead. Rather, I tried out a chocolate brownie. I've been a little disappointed with brownies since I moved to the states, so I thought I would try out a Canadian version, to see if it could compare to the wonder of the brownies sold in London's Borough Market. Well, it didn't - but it was incredibly luscious. Chocolate icing on top and a surprise of biscuit (cookie) threaded through the brownie itself. I do like a bit of texture when I am chowing down. One brownie was probably a bit too rich for one person - but, I was alone - and I do hate seeing food go to waste. It's called taking one for the team, ok?

I really enjoyed the ready to eat sandwiches from here. We were heading out to visit Strathcona…read morePark for a day hike and looking for some tasty sandwiches to eat mid hike for lunch. Cakebread had just what we were looking for. I wish we had more opportunities to come back as they also had a delicious looking selection of baked goods. Highly recommend the turkey croissant sandwich or the prosciutto sandwich on baguette. Both came with a delicious roasted pepper tapenade and carmelozed onion spread.

A few people told us about this place and its delicious cinnamon rolls. Located right beside the…read morepier where you take the boat out to savory island and other places, this place can be very busy. My friends tried the cinnamon rolls (original, raisin, pecan, and blackberry) and I had the pecan brownie buttertart. Other flavors were the original and chocolate almond. I also had a Lundy Fog which tasted like a London Fog. The buttertart was very sweet. Likewise for the blackberry cinnamon roll I tried. They also sell many types of dessert bars and brownies. Plus soup, lox and panini. Nice treats to have but share them if you don't like your desserts overly sweet. Maybe the sandwiches and soup will be better. There are seatings inside and outside on the patio.

I have tried a few items including their cinnamon buns. One of the owners mothers taught her how to make these cinnamon buns and they are great.

Everything is made from scratch, with no preservatives, so it's doubly important not to linger too long on what to choose to enjoy; fresher the better!

And that's what happened with us, we had a few goodies, went camping at Telegraph Cove, and on the way back down the island, replenished our supply!

My favorite spot in Powell River…read more Best coffee I've found in Powell River (significantly better coffee than River City). They use a lighter roast with some acidity which is my general preference (no burnt taste), and they make a very solid cappuccino. Baked goods are also quality and they do tasty sandwiches with fresh and seasonal ingredients. It's $15 for a sandwich, with 25% off for day-old sandwiches (which is such a great idea from a food sustainability perspective). Ambiance has a cool hipster vibe with big windows, lots of natural light, and wooden tables. It's a great place to get some work done or catch up with a friend. Service is always friendly and polite. They also have a gift shop with local artists' work to peruse. Great spot. I come here every time I'm in town.
