Hildegard's Bakery (Portage) — Restaurant in Winnipeg

When you want healthier bread, fresher bread and uniquely tasting well balanced leavened baked goods, each and everyday - Hildegards is where you step into

They use a lot of various older techniques and grains that require more hardwork, persistence and perseverance in a consistent manner to make what they make and they do the heaven of a job at it and their breads are just heavenly.

My absolute favorite is always the foccacia, then followed by the spelt followed by the scones and the rest. Their soup and toast are something that one should have once and they make some real good pizzas when they do.

Lovely bunch of hardworking people making the best of what they make.

June 2023 edit: Finally here at the right time and place to get hands on their Pizza and oh my god are they delicious + if you choose their sourdough crust it just elevates the whole pizza experience. Having it made in wood fire dome oven gives the pizza that nice bubbly crunchy crust + not to discount their well made dough.

Their pizza toppings and ingredients are clean and nice and the pizza tastes really well. We tried the Manitoberrean and Spanakopizza; their menon and pepperoni funghu and cheese funghi and deluxiest and red pepper popeye they all also sounds great, but those will for some other time.

Being someone who works during the day, I was never able to make it here when it was open. Except finally on an early day I made it like 15 minutes before close and could finally check it out.

Can't say I was too impressed personally. I saw they had Vegan soups so I asked about wheat free breads for my mother who is vegan and wheat intolerant (Not a gluten issue), was told the spelt was wheat free. Which makes no sense cause spelt is an ancient form of wheat. But I wanted to try it for myself anyway as I love spelt bread.

It was okay. May have to try and find a day where I could actually make it down for pizza to give it a fair shot, as the 'sweets' options (muffins and granola bars) were not very appealing to me. But its clear they more...

Really good coffee for the price (Flatlanders from Gimli): $2! Refills are $1.

If you ask for a decaf, they do a pourover for the same price as a drip!

One month later: I've found myself at Hildegard's quite often (even though I usually like to go to a wider variety of places). Here's why:

Good, locally roasted coffee at a good price Great atmosphere: Bright, LOTS of LIVE, healthy plants, with a beautifuly restored tile floor that's got to be about 100 years old. My family loves the bread, even if it's day old ($4/loaf for day old).

It's taken me this long to figure out that they do have their own parking stalls across the street by Rexalls, but a little...
