15 Best Bakeries in Nanaimo

“Best sausage rolls I’ve ever had!“

“Highly recommended. We have bought many cakes and cookies from Oh Happy Bake, everything is great.“

“Nice location easily accessible by bus [route #1] and with many other shops in the same mall/area. Very friendly and helpful staff, you can clearly see all of their items on display in the shop and they slice your bread when you buy it. The baked goods are incredibly fresh, picked up a pack of apple cinnamon hot cross buns [multiple flavors/varieties available!] and a loaf of bread, both were baked earlier today. The hot cross buns are amazing! Will definitely be back again to explore more of their offerings.“

“The cupcakes make me life my mood. No words would do justice to the cupcakes they serve. Must try Red velvet if you like less sweet flavor. My friends like coconut coffee cupcake. But all the cupcakes are fantastic and fresh. The owner is also kind and honest with her work. Must try!“

“I buy their pastries in Duncan. I really like their take on stollen. The danishes are stellar.“

“The bars, cookies, pies and other goodies that we had at our wedding were amazingly delicious. I am a sensitive celiac and never have issues when eating the GF items. These desserts were a wonderful addition to my wedding centerpieces.“

“all of the cakes and cupcakes I've ordered from Bryn have exceeded my expectations in both taste and beauty! highly recommend!“

“I had a gluten free vegan cupcake and it was delicious! The icing was light and creamy. I will definitely be going back for more!“

“Such a pleasant experience every time I have gone. So happy to have one in the north end !!“

“Awesome rye bread...particularly the heavy and coarse rye. A staple for 4 generations of our family! Thank you Rolf.“

“Had a really nice BLT and coffee, great service Thanks“

“Everything is good here except for one thing, hence the markdown. This is a very busy location and there is often a long line up. Tim’s which makes it difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Lacking seats at the door or a take number system is a fault all over Western Canada, so it is just an indicator of lack,of respect for the elderly in general. However, Parksville is a retirement area, so I expect more from owners there. Also they used to have good soup, which is my favourite snack, but this changed a couple of years ago and it’s no longer worth the cost. It’s not bad, just thin and boring.

Dietary restrictions: Allium allergy and sensitivity is common (2-10% of the population) but totally unrecognized. I’m reduced to eating desert when I eat out. I wish a popular franchise like Tim’s would take up the cause. In the UK they have allergy codes on all their menus. An idea whose time has come in Canada.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level but no other particular help for the elderly.“

“Good location for when I go for my walks plus friendly staff...😎“

“The staff here are always polite and serve with a smile. My order is usually ready quickly, and everything tastes fresh—especially the French Vanilla and breakfast wraps.The place is clean and has a calm vibe. It’s a nice spot to grab a coffee or relax for a bit. I always leave satisfied. Definitely one of the better Tim Hortons locations I’ve visited!“
