My partner and bought their cheddar jalapeño bread from The Butchery in Bellscorners and it was delicious! We went back a few times but they were usually sold out. We decided we needed to go straight to the source, so we took a drive to the Bread and Roses and bought two loafs and a few other baked goods. We were very impressed with the friendly service! The staff member Audrey was very kind.
Update: the baked goods were disappointing. We got a red velvet pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookie, a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting and a croissant with cream and raspberry filling. The cookie was dry, not enough chocolate chips in my opinion and lacking in pumpkin pie flavour. The pumpkin pie cake and croissant were also dry. It was quite disappointing given the $7.99 price point for the croissant. I definitely recommend their bread but I don’t think I’ll be getting anymore sweet baked goods. The bakery seems to have a lot of options, perhaps they need to retire some of the less popular items for better quality control.

Bought a loaf of country bread sliced ( over $6) and when I got home it tasted old and stale. Will not be back . This is the second time this has happened.

The baristas working the saturday July 5 2025 opening shift were amazing. They were both super kind, efficient, and helpful. My strawberry matcha was excellent and the barista recommended oat milk, which made it even better. I was offered a sample of great sourdough and sat outside with my cheesecake and drink. Inside is super cute and well organized, it’s really easy to see all the prices and names etc. Super happy with my experience! Thanks!

Ordered a 4 layer cake - it tasted amazinggg and looked beautiful. Buttery, tender and moist - perfectly balanced with just the right amount of richness and airiness. The icing was the perfect amount of sweet and the salted caramel was the cherry on top! Will Def be back!

I really like this place and we've been there a dozen times before as they usually are great but today it was a disaster. They have hot air blasting on the only three small tables; bakeries are understandably too hot to begin with why blast hot air right onto the customers? We order samosas and sausage rolls to eat in. I asked to have them heated up, but I was told to use the microwave behind us. The microwave was filthy inside with foods leftover from whomever used it last. I asked for a plate but was told they didn't have any. So, I heated them up in the paper bags. How do you eat a samosa without a plate, with your hands? Samosas are hot and they break apart so are not a "finger food". Then I asked for spoons for the soup; and I was told they were were beside the microwave, but I said they were out of spoons and was told a second time that they were by the microwave. I had to ask a third time, pointing at the empty spoon tray before someone got us spoons. After we ate, we tried putting our trash in the only garbage can we could find but the opening of the garbage can was too small for the soup bowls (see photos). Lastly, there is no formal ordering counter and all counter tops between the staff and the clients have stuff piled on to about 4-5 feet so you have to peer left or right to be able to see the staff; I know this is a small, independently-owned business that cannot afford elaborate renovations, but even a sign that said, "ORDER HERE" would help. We will go back because the food is usually very good, but we will never plan to eat inside again.
Very good baked goods, pleasant service, and a cozy atmosphere. I've eaten and had take out. I haven't tried the sweeter goodies, due to low-fat, low-sugar diet. I don't think they offer delivery.

I have up until now only heard of this established since my hubby purchases goods from here for his cafe. Tonight we tried the pumpkin pie, and oooh man it is so tasty. I can only imagine what other delights could be found at Bread and Roses.

Tried Bread & Roses for our coffee and pastry outing. The selection seemed to be fairly good. Our pastries (cinnamon roll and apple turnover) tasted great and we enjoyed the coffee.
Seating is pretty limited though.

I’m really disappointed with my experience. The pastry tastes stale, and the texture is quite unpleasant. I ordered a lemon meringue pie, but it tastes like an old cake. I’ve been trying to convince myself that it’s good, but I can’t even finish it.

I am sad to say that this bakery is just not good. I really want to like it and support them because they're in the neighborhood, but everything tastes old, too sugary, too dense and not quality ingredients. It has been consistently like this since the 5 years I have lived here. It is a recipe problem for sure, and perhaps offering too wide a variety of things (not honing in on doing a few things well). I am pretty grossed out at the things I have gotten there. The staff are very kind though so it pains me to write this.
