The Village Bakery is a delightful oasis of gastronomic pleasure located in the heart of Haines Junction, Yukon. Serving locals and tourists alike for over 33 years, and currently under new ownership, this charming establishment is a testament to the richness of small-town flavors, effortlessly pairing the warmth of a local bakery with the sophistication of a gourmet deli.
Upon entering, the aroma of fresh coffee, an essential start to any morning, greets you, promising a delicious caffeine kick. Their coffee, robust and full-bodied, is the perfect companion to their wide array of baked goods. The cookies are a must-try - fresh out of the oven, they are delightfully crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside.
The bakery's commitment to freshness and quality is evident in every item on their menu. Their sausage rolls are generously filled, providing a hearty and fulfilling meal that might, as my friends humorously pointed out, have 'too much' sausage – a delightful problem to have, indeed! The ingredients they use are top-notch, and it's clear they take pride in preparing all their foods from scratch daily.
The Village Bakery also has some nice spots to sit and eat outside.
Overall, the Village Bakery creates a truly special experience that leaves you longing for more. With its mouthwatering selection of bread, treats, and meal options, it's a place where the joy of eating is rediscovered in every visit. Come for the food, stay for the warmth and charm, and leave with memories of one of...

I didn’t get there in time for a reservation for the salmon bake so they put me in a waitlist but no one cancelled. but we had a terrific lasagna and chicken pot pie (were out of cottage pie).

On salmon bake night they close the kitchen to serve the salmon then reopen after but they have a refrigerated case with deli type meals. They are really accommodating and think of things for their customers convenience. Went back and had cinnamon roll and sticky bun next morning and they were fantastic. They were cold but we took them home and warmed them up. They may have a microwave there if you want to eat there. Definitely...

Edit: Made it down the road a ways but couldn't wait any longer to eat the breakfast burrito. What a surprise. It was just labeled "bacon" so I assumed it was a traditional bacon, egg, cheese, potato. This is a glorious southwest spin. I'd give it a solid "B".

The warmed greens and peppers were an excellent touch!
It's still somewhat expensive, but now it's more...
