I recently visited this bakery, and it was such a delightful experience that I felt compelled to share my thoughts. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries instantly makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a quick stop or a relaxed visit with friends.
The display counter is beautifully arranged, offering a wide variety of baked goods—from flaky croissants and soft, buttery cookies to rich cakes and artisanal breads. I tried a few items, and each one exceeded my expectations. The pastries were fresh, perfectly baked, and balanced in flavor, not overly sweet. The bread was soft on the inside with a lovely crust, clearly made with quality ingredients and care.
What truly stood out was the friendly and attentive staff. They were happy to recommend items and took the time to explain the ingredients and baking process, which added a personal touch to the visit. The service was quick, yet warm and genuine, making the overall experience even more enjoyable.
Cleanliness and presentation were also impressive. The bakery was well maintained, and everything looked fresh and hygienically prepared. Whether you’re stopping by for a morning treat, a dessert for a special occasion, or simply craving something comforting and homemade, this bakery is an excellent choice. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to others who appreciate quality baked goods and great service.

This place is a staple! Anytime I visit Thunder Bay, it’s always on my to-do list to stop by at least once. They have the best pastries, bread, and most importantly, the best Persians in Thunder Bay. It’s truly a local delicacy that everyone should experience at least once in their life.

The best. Freah bread, donuts, cookies, persians, tarts. Juat everything is good. A must have in Thunder Bay. More affordable than the grocery stores too and made with better quality.

I used to work in a bakery as a teenager and have had a ton of glazed donuts all over and Holland's has the best I've ever had.

A Thunder Bay classic. Quality . Persians here are a lighter and more delicate than other Persian outlets . But are they the best ? The great Persian debate continues!
A tradition in Thunder Bay. A variety you won't find elsewhere. I expected to see the usual collection of breads and pastries. I was surprised to see that most of what was there was quite unique. Well worth a visit.

Picked up 2 dozen Persians here yesterday. 1/2 dozen to eat and the rest to freeze and take with us home to Southern Ontario to share with family and friends. The ones we ate that day were fresh and delicious! The staff were kind enough to wrap them up and give us the icing (a generous amount) in separate tubs to take with us. They even gave my daughter a tasty cookie to munch on. The other pastries, bread, and treats there looked amazing and if I lived locally I'd be shopping there more often.

Best bakery in Thunder Bay. Great service and everything tasted amazing. Price was beyond reasonable. Was less than half the price of other area bakeries and taste was better. Also gave free treats for the kids with purchase.
Wish I would have bought more to bring home. Especially the deep dish apple pie!
