A local bakery, recent new owner. Their bread is not made from frozen dough so it may have some different styles. Their pastries are delectable. Great place to stop for a break but window service only while they await repairs from a recent vehicle incident. Ask about their burgers?

Decent baked goods for sure - there could be better savor items throughout the day and they're frequently sold out

Hot tip: if someone in front of you orders espresso you might as well leave as it takes forever

Omg the pastries here are out of this world! Speaking as a person who doesn’t like sweets I bought 3 different pastries to try and they were mouth watering fresh and yummy. Totally not to be missed when in Nelson especially when taking the free ferry trip out!

Parking: Easy to find parking around the area but usually people drive with their cars up the ferry

Like stopping here for a coffee and a treat. Great choices for breakfast or lunch, as well as the sweet treats.

Parking: Ots located at the Balfour Ferry Terminal, so lots of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Yummy treats for the kids.

A wonderful selection of fresh baked goodies. Great spot for a quick bite before the ferry. So many choices my daughter had trouble making a decision.
