Chemainus Bakery — Restaurant in North Cowichan

I'm addicted to this bakery's home made granola bars! Thick, crunchy, sweet and a bit gooey, what's not to love, especially when I get an "edge" piece. I also indulge in their macaroons, delicious, and their sausage rolls, which are excellent. I tried some of their egg rolls, which we really liked, and a different type of sausage roll, not sure if it was Thai, it was very good too.
