6 Best Bakeries near Western Shore

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I love this place and go here all the time! It’s always amazing food and most of the time there is great service. Went in today and this girl named Sheri was very rude to me and my friends. She was full of complaints and sighs whenever we took our orders. We got to go and she kept giving us looks whenever she passed us, and she kept giving us snarky remarks.

On the other hand, Christina was AMAZING! Helped us take our orders, was very pleasant and extremely polite. I love this place but Sheri’s service was so bad I don’t know if I would give them my business anytime soon, and I’ll be leaving if I see Sheri there again.“
