COBS Bread — Restaurant in Nanaimo

Overpriced for mostly mediocre bakery. I ordered 6 regular croissant $14.50, chocolate raspberry croissant $3.95 each, 4 danishes $2.95 each and ham & cheese bun $3.15 each. I may be off a little on the prices as I didn't get a receipt.

The good would be the chocolate raspberry croissant. It had great sweet from the chocolate and tart from the raspberry. The croissant was crispy on the outside and soft & chewy inside. I think it's worth the near $4 for a nice sweet treat.

The okay would be the ham and cheese bun. It was nice and crunchy on the cheese with ham bits on top and the bun was soft but not worth $3.15 each. I think $2.50 would be make this a better buy.

The bad would be the regular croissant. Extreme disappointed with them for the high prices. I had high expectations with hope it would be crispy outside and nicely layered inside with soft, chewy buttery inside. It failed in all categories. It tasted like the ones at Costco but 6x more expensive! It was soft on the outside and tasteless, no texture inside. The danish fair a little better, but it was kinda burnt on the bottom leaving a little char taste. It has okay flavor and texture but overpriced for what it is.

I don't mind paying more if the quality is there but it is mediocre at best. Service is also lacking by these young ladies who seems annoyed by me looking at the selection before making my order. They didn't have a pastry box to put it in either. They threw the regular croissant into a plastic bag and paper bags for each of the other pastries. Next time I'll just stick with the chocolate raspberry croissant and maybe try the other items if I feel like...

Amazing store even better products, this store is without a doubt the best COBS store ever. The staff are warm and welcoming they will not hesitate to offer you a hand or any assistance, they are the best store on the island and definitely in the whole of Canada they flood the store with decor on each holiday that really brings out the festive seasons. Hands down the best bakery to go to I’ve recommended them to all my family and friends and have heard nothing short absolute glee and praise of how happy they are with the products at COBS bakery pleasant valley. A special shout out to one of the staff Ella for always being so kind and welcoming to me every time I’ve ever set foot inside of the store and is always there to offer help no matter how busy she is and in my eyes is the most perfect staff member that every employee should...

This is by far the best COBS Bakery I have ever been to, and I've been to multiple. The staff are always super kind, professional and respectful no matter when I go or what I order, the products have never failed to impress me, being fresh and delicious every time, the interior of the store is nice and welcoming and I love what they do for the holiday season! I have recommended this COBS to so many of my friends and family members for it's quality and I will keep on doing so. If I were to own a business, I'd want it to be as much like this one as I could get it to be. They are in a great location, right by Superstore and Woodgrove mall and it is really...
