I’m a little shocked to see the amount of FLIES hovering around when I walked in today. Is this normal?? There are bread and pastries on display…🫨🤢

Amazing vegan donut. Flavour changes. Also vegan pretzels and pretzel buns. And bread
Mike Gro
Chill, friendly and delicious options

Best not tell Switzerland about this place. You can taste the cutbacks. Bought two items that we'd describe as old, dusty and stale. Goodbye Swiss Bakery.

LOVELY iced canadiano/americano. I take oat milk, but it was phenomenal before adding it in too — entirely a force of habit on my part. The workers behind the counter were warm and friendly and damn, so efficient. A sincerely delightful experience, it really made a difference in my day, and I was in there for like four minutes.

I was hoping to have an actual pretzel but unfortunately it was very tasteless. Barely any salt on it and very soft.

This is my favourite spot near my office. I go almost everyday. They have a great variety of pastries, eateries, soups and coffees.. also extremely warm and welcoming group of people that work here.

I am writing to share my honest feedback on their Too Good To Go strategy. I have been a loyal customer for a long time, but now I feel betrayed and insulted. Just look at how ridiculous their package is. It’s only $6.99—not about the money, but about how they perceive their customers. It feels as though they are using Too Good To Go customers as a food waste bin. Since when? Is this their plan for dealing with inflation and other challenges?
I understand that this is a difficult time for small businesses, but this must stop. Many other bakeries on Too Good To Go, like Terra Breads and Nemesis, offer better variety and put more care into their packages. None of them treat customers like this.
Additionally, Olympic Village’s demographic primarily consists of single professionals and small households. The portion sizes in your Too Good To Go offering seem unrealistic for the local customer base—who would actually be able to finish this? Instead of reducing food waste, this approach risks creating more. If you produced too much breads that aren’t for target audience, why don’t you donate this to Foodbank or take this to B2B opportunity instead of taking advantage of likeminded customers…?
Anyone who has purchased from Too Good To Go would understand why I’m so upset. As someone who works for the public and volunteers for the community, I feel compelled to share my experience so that others are aware of what they might be getting when they choose to support local businesses and be eco-friendly.

I can’t speak to other items, but the apple strudel which should be a German/Swiss classic, did not taste good. Perhaps they are using fake butter.

The last time I went in here the place was very busy and I just wanted to know if they were hiring any extra staff for the holidays. I asked for a business card to take with me, but the people working behind the counter told me that didn't have any left. Business is doing pretty good for this beautiful little bakery! I bought a cinnoman bun and a coffee... it was all gone in 2 mins! This place reminds me of my trips I used to take to visit my Oma - in Stuttgart, Germany!! :) So awesome!
You know how most gingerbread houses sit and attract dust and then get thrown out? Not this one…. Delicious. My adult kids started devouring it before they finished decorating it. Great value. Great fun. Great idea.

Everything there was so good, and the people working there are really kind. Really enjoyed it.

Swiss Bakery serves an array of sweet and savoury baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee. Located on a relatively quiet street. Kind of a small place with a lot of the space taken up by the food cases, but they have a few large tables inside and more small tables on the patio. I dropped in for lunch and ordered a veggie breakfast sandwich, a slice of turtle cake, and a purple rain tea (their tea list had a few uncommon options which was cool). The breakfast sandwich was delicious. It came on a fresh pretzel bun which was the highlight, but the filling was also very tasty. Very satisfying portion size. The cake was good. I was there pretty early for lunch, maybe 10:30, and the person taking my order warned me that the cake had been frozen and might not be defrosted yet, but I ordered it anyway and by the time I ate it there was no trace of frost. It was pretty sweet but the slice wasn’t too big so it was fine. Just a little heavy on the frosting. The prices were very reasonable. I was told they would bring my food to my table and assumed that also meant my drink, but when they brought my food out they told me to come get my drink inside. I’m getting picky, I was annoyed that my tea came in a paper cup when I ordered for here. But the staff were friendly. I keep forgetting this place is here because it’s not directly on my path even though I pass by it most days just one street over, but I’ll try to remember it and visit again.
