Cumberland Village Bakery — Restaurant in Cumberland

I have only had their bread (from the stores they are sold at), but if that is enough to make me write a review here, I can only imagine what they must have in-house!

I have a Vegan, low sugar, soy-free (Almost entirely non GMO, and organic-etc) diet, and that can unfortunately make finding food (I enjoy...and can afford-) very difficult. That is the first thing that stood out about the ingredients-(not only did I understand what they were), but also how few it was. That is sadly, so rare nowadays.

One day, a set of friend's came by with some loves of bread...that is how it all started; I almost went through half a loaf today alone. (It was so fresh, it was even warm when I bought it, so...no. I do not blame myself.) Anyways, it has been the best to spice up eating! It is so pure and real, that the unprocessed nature of it, does not interfere with our body's. The friend I mentioned above, has had many years with weight issues and bread was one of the things to avoid. Ever since eating this bread, she remarks how different it is, and how she does not gain that weight! She is so happy to be able to enjoy such a delicacy again.

This bread is unlike any other. I can even enjoy it plain (and/) or un-toasted, which is not like me. The flavours are so meticulously crafted, it lacks no substance, yet works brilliantly with other flavours. I crave it. It is divine. My favourite additions are: toped with some fresh Tomato (and keltic salt), or with some pesto, or hummus.

The crust is also beautiful. I know some people have an issue with crust, so I wanted to add that in. They have a few kinds of bread I have tried, but I admit, I am quite partial to the 'Wood-Fried, Organic Multigrain', and if my memory serves me correct, the 'Sourdough'.

In conclusion, i'd suggest you...

Cumberland Bakery continues to bake fantastic eats. Everything is so good! Their renowned Donuts, the sausage rolls, everything! Get ot all! 5 stars! Zero stars for customer service (6/23/23@1pm). Absolutely horrendous. The two women at the front counter pretty much didn't want to be there. Frustrated when we asked questions. We live on the lower mainland and are not regulars that know the ins and outs. Annoyed and flippant because we wanted to know prices that were not posted on the menu board. Then rattled them off to us without care making it hard to even know what was what, which, I'm sorry if some donuts are nearly 5 dollars and we have two families with children I'd like to map my way around spending 60$ on donuts and perhaps spend 2ish on one/each instead. So regardless of 'your' poor attitude and lack of care, this review gets a zero and lowers the overall. Thought to visit multiple times while here, but I suppose the...

The Bakery is fantastic, the ham and cheese croissants are 🔥, I ate 2 definitely filled the hole, tasty too... as full as I was I still managed to slam down one of their cream filled chocolate dipped donuts... knew immediately there wasnt room but I soldiered through it as I'm known to do... My gf had a Ham and cheese croissant and some shortbread cookies.. And loved them.. my buddy had a sausage roll and something else. Everything was good and the price was reasonable for the quality.. my only beef was that 1 person in the bakery at a time due to covid had us waiting outside for a while but that's really no fault of the bakery... staff was friendly and helpful. 100 percent will go back I have thought about that donut several times today again 🤤..

I didn't take pictures because I consumed it all in a shocking timeframe.....
