The Crusty Bun — Restaurant in Winnipeg

I can't rave about this place enough.

I searched for what local bakeries were near me as I decided I wanted to try shopping at more local places, and this place popped up in my searches. It had really good reviews, so I decided to give it a try.

While a bit pricy, it is 100% worth paying a little extra for. Everything baked in store is fantastic. I keep coming back week after week, buying bread for my entire family here.

From the Farmer's Bread, to the Traditional, to their Rye breads, everything is just terrific! You can taste the quality, and after one bite you'll start wondering why you've been buying your bread from anywhere else.

It's so good that my significant other wanted to ask the owner if they're willing to adopt them - and their already an amazing baker!

And they have amazing desserts as well. I highly recommend Aunt Ooma's Cake. It heavily reminds me of a dessert from my home country, lenja pita. It's a baked apple cake with a crunchy top and soft lower layer. Mmm, so good!

So stop on by, purchase a couple of loafs or some desserts, and see why so many reviewers give them 5 stars. Personally, I'd give them more if it...

I was very disappointed today to see no one wearing masks. I counted 10 employees In back and at counter. None wearing masks. There were maybe 3 customers of 12 who brought masks and wore them while ordering. No one else attempted to wear masks.

6 foot distancing was not followed in sit down eating area. None of the tables were blocked off from use. Customers were sitting next to other tables with customers less than 6 feet apart.

I have always loved this place for its quality baked goods. Today I have made a decision to not return. This establishment is making a choice to be non-mask oriented while many businesses are being pro-active and emphasizing the importance or wearing masks.

Good bye Crusty Bun. See you after...

A wonderful germanic bakery with beautifully made breads n' buns, desserts, and soups. Personal faves are the dark rye, westphalian rye, sour dough, crusty buns, flambe loaf, bee sting cake, croissants, hazelnut twist, nut corners, and when they have specials like their soft buttermilk buns or seed loaves (so tasty!). I like that they slice on site and know most of the percentage of whole wheat, rye, etc are in most of their products. Freezes very well too! The fact that the Headmaster Row location has Miller Meats next door makes all my sandwich dreams...
