The food was this funny dichotomy of amazing and terrible. The maple dip donut and chocolate dip shortbread was so amazing, I devoured them in the car. The lime and raspberry donuts, and imperial cookies were so bad, I threw them out. The donut base is really great, light and fluffy, everything you want a donut to be. The maple icing was just the right amount of maple and sweetness. The shortbread was buttery and melt in your mouth, with a nice chocolate finish. Just delicious.The “lime” and “raspberry” filled powder donuts had the same amazing donut base, but the filling was essentially coloured goo. I asked the cashier if the fillings were made in-house and was told yes, but they taste like they came out of a plastic bucket or was punch drink, thickened with corn starch. I couldn’t have told you the flavours beyond fluorescent green goo and red goo. The imperial cookie might have been good once upon a time, but tasted like it was at least three days old.I will definitely be returning but only for the shortbread and dipped donuts.

Bootsma Bakery absolutely rocked my request! My daughter wanted a “Pink” Rock and Roll themed birthday and they nailed the cake. It looked amazing and tasted so good! We also ordered a number of their pizza dough packages so the kids could make their own, hands down the best tasting and such a great price. All in all they made this birthday very special and the staff have always been so fun and kind to deal with. I would recommend them if you are just looking for a little treat or if you want to add something special to your next celebration. Thank you!Kid-friendliness: I often bring my daughter in after school for one of their adorable sugar cookies. They always have the cutest themes for them and have always been so kind to us.

I was visiting the city and stopped in. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. You could tell they enjoyed working there. Great selection and clean!! I bought some artesian sourdough breads. Delicious! Couldn't stop eating. My wife never got a slice.

Awesome bakery … very nice atmosphere, staff, excellent location … thank you for a beautiful awesome unique cake .. love this bakery and all the staff so
I had called first thing in the morning hoping they had a red velvet cake for a co-workers birthday available that day. The lady I spoke to was more then helpful!She asked what size, if I wanted anything written on it, asked when I wanted to come grab it. She had it ready for me within a half hour. The service was incredible and fast!The cake was absolutely delicious as well! Highly recommended this bakery.

Our first time in here. It is packed with amazing baking and yummy smells. The person who helped us was nice and efficient. Everything we purchased was super fresh! We would highly recommend the lime Bismark, glazed donut, and Cinnamon donut. Also, the almond tarts are perfection. We bought some buns and a sourdough loaf that was sliced. Very handy. Have not tried that, but it sure smells divine! Will be back!

My husband and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary on Nov 22, and we asked Bootsma Bakery to recreate our wedding cake to share with friends the Sunday before.The cake was sublime : vanilla, with vanilla buttercream. The embellishments were stunning, and the taste was glorious.I can't say enough about Bootsma Bakery. Go there! You will not be disappointed!The owners care deeply about their customers, their staff, and their community. The baked goods are of the highest quality, and we will drive the hour it takes to sample their offerings again. I just hope we can get all the way home without eating everything we buy!!
