I used to live in this area about 8 years ago and I still go by this bakery today when I'm in the area. I absolutely love their raspberry cream cheese croissants! They are so fresh and not too sweet. You don't get that artifical tasting cream cheese taste but rather a delicious home made dessert. I dream about them. I've also had the Cornish Pasty, Perogies and Sandwiches which are also always fresh and decently priced. The perogies taste nothing like the Cheemos you find in a grocery store. These perogies are the real deal and all made fresh. The service is always friendly and courteous. The same girl and owners have never changed since I have been going so the baked goods and foods is always consistent.
I don't normally give reviews, but this place just hits the spot for me.
BJ bakery (not the best name!), is a tiny little bakery in a 4-shop strip mall on Royal Oak and Rumble - very easy to miss.
I really like the baked goods here. Especially the European cheesecake and the apple cake (which is more like a combination of a cake and a pie). All their desserts are $2.75 for a good-sized piece and they all look fresh and delicious.
Their sandwiches are about $6 and they're satisfyingly large! They also bake their own breads and make their owns preserves/jams!
I'd recommend going to this place instead of Subway across the street. Only downside? They close at 5pm daily, I think.
I happened to be in the neighbourhood of this small bakery the day after reading the previous review, so I dropped in to try it out. I only bought a piece of the apple cake, but it was very, very good. A good amount of cinnamon and apple and just the right sweetness. It was quite light - not oily at all like at some bakeries.
I'd definitely recommend this place based on my sample tasting. Very friendly service too.
Although I don't live close by but if I have a chance to drive close by, I make a point of stopping there. I tried cheese cake both N.Y. style and European, I love them both. I also tried apple cake, apricot cake (my favorite) and pecan one. They are all so yummy. I also buy Spicy Chicken Roll. In a way, I am glad they are not close by.... because I will be worried about my weight because I love there cakes. I also like there chocolate cake. I have not yet tried their soup and other deli stuff. So I cannot say anything about it, but I highly recommend any of these cakes that I mentioned.
