Definitely worth a visit. High quality ingredients plus masterful baking skills equals high calibre products.
Such a nice group of ladies work there too.

Why are we limited to an arbitrary 5 šrating?
Wild Culture should be multiples of 5. There are many reasons but letās start with their baked goods, since itās a bakery.
No, check that, letās start with the location which is out of a storybook or it could be the inspiration for a wonderful fable, romance novel or a movie set. I must confess that I have passed it by many times without realizing what it was. There is a very modest sign and a driveway that belies the aromatic bakery within the beautiful and lush property.
The bakery looks rustic and inviting. The shop is modestly sized but oneās eyes are drawn to the array of baked goods including cakes, cookies and myriad other treats. The bread on a shelf behind the cashier is tantalizing and fragrant, okay what else would a bakery smell like. You might have to move people aside but be gentle.
Thereās a little seating area for coffee and a treat outside of the shop and there is often a musician helping to restore civilization one note at a time.
If youāre reading this please donāt tell my GP how I know how fantastic an array of sourdough bread is on offer, before they sell out of course. Letās keep that our little secretā¦
Wild Culture is locally famous for their pizza which is available in cooked or raw form, including a vegan choice which is my favourite. I buy two every week but hereās the catch: the pizzas have to be ordered starting Sunday evening for Friday afternoon pickup. If you take them uncooked you only need to put them in your oven for ten minutes at 475 for a thin and crispy sensation with tons of fresh ingredients. You can pay online and come up to the pizza window after 1 on Friday. (unless you forget like someone I know did this week-no pizza for me! Him, for him I meanā¦
So the place is a sensation, their goods are a treat but the staff, as crazy busy as they may be, are always welcoming and friendly.
Their hours are interesting, make sure you check before you go because you may have to wait in the drive-through for a day or two. Note: there is no drive-through.
Iām sure that Iāve missed a few things but that gives me an excuse to go back very soon, as if I needed one.
I have one little suggestion: I think the jalapeƱo bread should come without cheese for the vegans among usā¦. Cop tells his prisoner that he has the right to remain silent but the prisoner says āI canāt, Iām a veganā.
Vegetarian options: Vegan pizza, bread, cookies, and cake are available. Ask, theyāre super helpful.

Absolute best fresh baked breads and pastries I've found since returning from Europe almost 50 years ago.. breads as wholesome, delicious and nutritious as found in the old-world European village bakeries of the previous century.. perhaps better

Nice little bakery to get a snack at, the service is friendly and fast they have a driving loop. The line there is mostly stretched outside, but thats normal because the inside is little.

Jean was so lovely to work with. She went above and beyond to accommodate our wedding order. The carrot cake always to die for. The fresh bread was a highlight with all of our guests. Next time we are in Qualicum we will return! Thank you!

We used them for our wedding and the bread received almost as many compliments as the bride! Highly recommend.
Excellent food, amazing team putting a great experience together.

We needed a cake for cutting since the venue we were having our wedding at provides a dessert spread already. We saw great reviews for these guys and they also have options for dietary restrictions! We stopped by the bakery a few months before the wedding to try the cake and we were not disappointed and it was so great to meet Jean, who I'd only been talking to over email or phone. We went with a dairy free cake as it doesnāt sit too well for either of us and it was sooo delicious. We got the vanilla olive oil cake with blueberry filling and a lemon icing and it was so moist and the guests who tried it said it was amazing! Jean was so easy to deal with and lovely! Highly recommend for your next celebration!

Delicious pastries! My partner and I were on the island for the week to celebrate my birthday and we were having one heck of a time trying to find a decent bday dessert. We were just about to settle for a Save On Foods pie when we came across this place on Google. We ordered the lemon tart, a slice of the lemon black currant cheesecake as well as a slice of the lemon blueberry olive oil cake and all I can say is WOW. The lemon curd in the tart was the perfect balance of sweet and tart and had a bright and clean finish. The cake was airy, fluffy, subtly sweet from the blueberries; the buttercream layers were just the right amount and also very light. This would make for a very beautiful and perfect summer wedding cake. The cheesecake was by far our favorite with its whipped and airy texture, citrusy tang with a velvety cheesy mouthfeel. This bakery is a hidden gem and is more than worth a little detour to try their incredible food.
Reasonably priced, Exceptional quality
Best Christmas cake!!
