I like the old school bakeries, I'll have to find that one on Quadra.

We might have to ask Bill Gates to settle this.

He's never returned. So there's your answer 😂

They're just north of Quadra + Mckenzie, before McBriar if I recall correctly.

No one has mentioned Patisserie Daniel on Cook yet?

Sadly, one of the best bakeries on the peninsula just closed permanently on Friday - BJ's Bakery and Wraps on Keating Crossroad in the plaza.

In business for 32 years, it was a great place for fresh bread, cookies, pastries and specialty loaves, as well as some of the most generous wraps I've ever seen. I personally will miss their poppy seed loaf and strudels, though if you hurry you can still find those fancy poppy seed loaves at Market Garden grocery store on Catherine St.

Congratulations to Betty and Joe on your retirement!

that’s a great post!

Dutch Bakery, Cakes Etc and Patisserie Daniel are all terrific!

Wow, those poppy seed loaves are an Eastern European staple. I'll have to stop by the Catherine Street store and pick a couple up tomorrow.
