7 Best Bakeries near Blockhouse

“I am from Atlanta GA and had the pleasure of discovering these Cinnamon swirls at Petite Riviere General Store while camping at Rissers Beach Campground on vacation...I purchased 2 swirls and they were the best I have ever eaten...Since the General Store only gets a shipment on Fridays, I was not able to purchase anymore...So on our way to visiting Halifax for the day, we made a detour off of Hwy 103 to Blockhouse and stopped at Boulangerie La Vendeenne...where I forced myself (Yeah right!!!) to buy 8 more to enjoy in the mornings with a cup of tea...But the story does not end here...That following Friday as we towed our camper to our next destination, we stopped at the General Store and purchased 5 more Cinnamon swirls (Like I was going to pass on that oppourtunity!)...As of today, I am down to only 1 1/2 swirls left and they are just as good out of the freezer and warmed as they were fresh in Nova Scotia!...I sure wish Boulangerie La Vendeenne would ship to the US as I would certainly enjoy ordering some for special occasions!“

“oh wow I am OBSESSED - this is the kind of place that breaks your heart when you're from away, because you can't eat just pies every day :'( The pies, cakes, and drinks are just so good (and everchanging, for the attention-deficient among us) - the hodgepodge was my favourite.

But quite aside from the pies, really what makes this place so special is the genuine hospitality. It's just so *gay* and *aesthetic* and everyone is like the coolest person you've met but in a way that is somehow not horribly intimidating, and the patio's bumping on the weekends with all different kinds of people and they're all having the time of their lives? How could you not. idk man I just love it, if you are in any way deliberating you should just go.“

“First time in here, not sure why we have not stopped before and the cinnamon rolls are AMAZING!!!!! I will be stopping for them everytime I’m in the area, please don’t stop making them 🤣“

“A true hidden gem for real food lovers! The traditional dishes are absolutely incredible—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Their desserts are just as impressive, and the staff? Genuinely some of the warmest and most attentive people you’ll meet. An unforgettable dining experience from start to finish.“

“We went today there while they where at the LCLC for Canada Day and we were really happy with what we got. My wife had a brownie and I had a carrot cake, and when I noticed they had mistakenly given me a smaller piece they gave me another for free!!! Same with my girls who got themselves a chocolate cookie just because they wanted to be nice!! Like how often does that happen? The girls there were very energetic and generous, what a great experience!“

“Went with my wife on a Sunday evening and got a table right away. Service was super quick, deep fried pepperoni appetizer in under 5 minutes, and our mains arrived before we were done with it. The big breakfast and haddock burger were both delicious, like a home-cooked meal. Fries with dill sauce were a standout. Generous portions and great value!“

“We enjoyed the best ever Samosas today…a beef and donair one…we also enjoyed the key lime and also the mango cheesecake…just divine…we are looking forward to the cinnamon roll with coffee tomorrow morning and lasagna with Ricotta for lunch…tomorrow. We will visit again Thank you Wanda & Paul Amherst NS“
