My husband and I helped our granddaughters raise money for a fundraiser and we did the cinnamon buns. We raised $800 just between my husband and I through family and coworkers and I don’t know what happened but all of our cinnamon buns were all bad. they didn’t rise and when you would fully cook them through the 15 to 20 minutes still raw 30 minutes still raw 35 minutes were better But he is a rock . When I went to go and bake mine, I mentioned it to my husband and my husband said actually I mentioned my name. He said all of his coworkers were very Disappointed in the cinnamon buns that they would never ever buy them again. I’m not sure if they had a bigger order than they expected and measuring went wrong or if it was a new baker I have no idea, but there was not One person that was happy with their cinnamon buns yesterday I went to go and bake all of my cinnamon buns and this is what they look like. And some of these are still even raw in the middle and what I mean by raw is like doughy
It’s so unfortunate that this was a big disappointment that unfortunately these coworkers and family members will never buy these again

Wow! Stopped in here on our trip from med hat to lethbridge. This will be a regular stop from now on. Got the buns. They are so good you can just eat them without anything else. Remind me of fresh baked buns from the oven when I was a kid. Also the Kuchen and it was so good!

I LOVE this little bakery. Not only is it one of the old, rarely seen, actual bakeries that are left around, but the staff is always very friendly and welcoming! They are great to recommend items and always have a smile on their faces. It is so awesome to go in and have that kids of service with every item they offer being amazingly tasty and fresh. Their donuts are HUGE and the whipped cream is real whipped cream! Everyone should stop in if they are nearby!!!!

We have been getting baked goods here for 25 years now. But I must say the quality has really taken a dive since the last new owner. My wife bought bow islanders, they used to be our favorite and they no longer are. They were completely flat and dry. It's sad to see that quality seems to be diminishing yet prices are going up. And you see that at so many other places to.

Happened across this bakery, and was looking forward to seeing what they had to offer. I ordered a latte, and it was okay. I got a cinnamon bun, carrot cake muffin, and blueberry cream cheese danish. The danish was the best item by far. The cinnamon bun was overbaked and tough and dry in the outside layers. The carrot cake muffin and had really no flavor, and only tasted like carrot cake once you ate it with some of the icing. The server also was super new and had difficulty knowing which items were which, and I ended up needing to help her out.

Great value on menu items and fresh baked bread.

Decor is beautiful and open. The mood is soft and warm, and even the public washrooms exceeded my expectations.

Their attention to detail is fantastic, with a hand drawn and seasonal menu board.

The chocolate glazed was one of the best cake donuts I’ve ever had. I look forward to returning for coffee.

We've been hearing about the rolling pin and decided to stop by. Amazing sweets, frozen products, and an incredible menu! We grabbed a box of pastries to bring home, but next time, we may have to stay for lunch!

We went for lunch today and The Classic from the all day breakfast was good.

I ordered the chicken quesadilla. This dish is usually my go to meal but not anymore. The food and service has really gone down hill over the past few years.

The chicken was dry and cut in these big chunks. There was way too many diced onions and green peppers and they were almost raw (crunchy). Let’s not talk about how little cheese was in the quesadilla! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I will not order this again.

The only thing a person should order here is a milkshake.

Since 2020, you order your meal up at the counter and they bring the meal to your table. The wait staff never come around to check on you. If you need a refill you have to go up to the counter to ask. If you need a to go box, you need to go to the counter to ask. The tables are always dirty and full of dirty plates and used napkins.

I just shake my head…
