Yep! Come here for coffee and awesome baked breakfast items when you visit Powell Riverread more

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.

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.

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.

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 really wasn't too sure what to make of this place, but I'm almost always willing to try. I'm glad I did. The mocca cruffin and the twice baked pistachio white chocolate croissant were delicious. The loaf of sourdough that I also got is one of the tops in my books. Flourist and Bread Culture in Vancouver are my other two faves. If you come through Courtnay, pay a visit. Smallish store, friendly staff. Prices are reasonable, and parking in the adjacent lot is available.

I would suggest that they get some bar stool for the high top counter outside to add some additional seating. I love that they bake everything here in house. The portions are good. The chicken sandwich is highly recommended. On another visit we also had the almond croissant and the monte blanc cruffin. The almond croissant is sliced with the almond paste added in after the croissant was baked. This tehcnique is a smart shortcut but not a true almon croissant in the classic sense. It's not super sweet but can be heavy. They have a decent selection of drinks but there's quite a markup on the beer and cider. Recommended.

On our family trip, my wife a constant searcher for a good Scone and Baked Pastry, saw the sign for this place as we drove between Qualicum Beach and other sights to be seen. In that, we quickly looked them up, and saw they have been around for a long time (1995), and give ourselves a waypoint to stop on our drive back to our holiday rental. So when you drive up, you feel like you might be traveling to a farm house, which happens to be a bakery. The vibes definitely put you into that mood. On our occasion, it was a mild but warn day, and people were outside on their stone patio having baked good, so maybe we were in for a treat. Upon entering, you are in a small room, just enough for a few things on the side, then the case of goods, front of center. They were well stocked with lots of delights, and breads too. Sausage rolls, scones, cookies, bars, and cake slices. Today, we got a couple sausage rolls and a scone... and let's just say, each was proper delicious. That said, we were in the out, because as we stared ordering, a line of people started to show up, and we quickly paid and left. So is it worth coming, sure. Is it delicious, yes.
