It was like a smaller, family-owned version of a Starsky's. There are waaay more groceries like bottled sauces, canned goods, deli counter, than breads. A good portion of the breads don't seem to be baked there. Got a coupla paczki and they were ok, $1.75ea, not super fresh tasting, but not stale or anything. Double Smoked Kielbasa was good. Other than breaded cutlets, I didn't see prepared foods, but then again I wasn't really looking! If you're from a bigger city with access to such European grocery stores, St Joseph "Bakery" won't be a standout.

An assorted sub is $5.75. I ordered some wood smoked kielbasa, kabanosy, and hot pepperettes. All were very reasonably priced and tasted fantastic. They have lots of polish goods and other european items. It's a pretty big place. They have a freezer area with frozen meat on a stick, cabbage rolls, and perogies. Towards the far right of the store are loaves of breads and rolls in bags. I'm not sure why, but none of these items have prices on them. We did buy a few loaves of italian and french bread, they were $2.20 a piece. Again, very reasonable. Everyone in here was super friendly and they speak polish too. I will be back for more deli meats and to try a sub!

But really, I'm sure this is a sign of quality. Also they make really great pies. And I agree with the below "sawdust" comment! The Nanaimo bars are too gritty - should consider using superfine or confectioners sugar for a smoother cream.

She was very curt and abrupt and obviously had no interest in my business; barked the pricing at me and ended the call after informing me that she needed two days notice.

Cuz that's the only way I could imagine getting away with this level of discourteousness and rudeness.

They packaged all of the allergen-free treats separately and we were even able to rent one of their tiers for an extremely reasonable price. They looked gorgeous, tasted amazing, and my only regret was that I didn't get to sample more (I didn't even eat one at my wedding, just 3-4 leftovers the next day, don't judge! haha!). My only vague complaint is that I did feel like I was chasing them down a little in terms of email communication (I do not live locally to the store so I had my mom pop by once or twice to check in since I couldn't) but I honestly think that is more of a testament of how quickly they book up and how good they are - plus, 2022 wedding season has been SO BUSY.

I've had them at other locations before but I had visitors visiting from Edmonton who were visiting Niagara Falls so we grabbed a dozen croissants to share. They had so many varieties it was hard to choose but my favorite ones that I usually go for include: -Truffle Crab -Salted Egg yolk -Raspberry Panna Cotta / Strawberry Purée Custard -Honey Citrus / Lemon Cream Glazed Service was a little slow and unorganized despite them being opened already for a few months. They said 6 croissants and no tax but one of the girls told us we can mix and match with the croffles but when we went to pay they said we couldn't. When we went to pay they were struggling so hard with the point system. I do however appreciate them trying to figure out how it worked. So eventually they said I can only collect points and not redeem which was fine. I went back a second time cause I was thirsty and ordered one of their drinks that they said was available but then the girl looked at the other girl and then looked back at me and said it's not available soooo.

I often cringe at the thought of some gluten free food I have had, because I'm lucky and can eat "the real thing". That said, there are places that you stumble across, like Edible Options, that really do a great job. This was our first time there. We had a Boston Creme donut, a vanilla glazed(I think), a French Cruller, and a cupcake. The cupcake and French Cruller were great, just as good as a traditional bakery that has solid standards. The donuts were pretty good overall, but they tasted like the oil needed to be changed, or they were just slightly overcooked. Either way, they were better than 90% of the donuts I have tried up to this point, so I still see it as a win. Service was good, but I did feel a little pressured to rush. I know it's a busy place, but since we aren't regulars we had a couple of questions. I don't feel like we took a lot of time, but that underlying push to keep it moving was there. We'll be back when we are in the area, my sweets loving girlfriend will be sure of it.

Since the topping was too sugary, the majority of the party attendees--including the children--swiped it off ( and there was alot of it!). You would assume that a bakery with a health-conscious focus would offer a topping other than water and pure icing sugar. A vegan cream cheese substitute, or whipped vegan butter, could be added? Pure icing sugar, water, and a barely detectable raspberry flavouring made up the filling. The cost would undoubtedly cover some vegan substitutes. This is a good option if you enjoy sugar; if not, go somewhere else.
