Handy Creek Bakery and cafe

My go-to bakery for pastries. The home made bread is devine and if you're super fortunate you'll get there when it's still warm and fresh from the oven. Don't let the seemingly ordinary exterior fool you, everything I've tried here has been amazing. Skip the grocery store bakery and come here. It may cost a tad more but it's worth it!

Great baked goods, beautiful location, friendly service

Wife and I spotted this old schoolhouse while on a hunt for breakfast and it satisfied our need. The wife had a salmon quiche, which she enjoyed and rated 8 out of 10. I had the eggs Benedict, which was, well, eggs Benedict. While we sat there, flocks of people came in, ordering pastries, donuts and muffins as though they were going out of style.

This is a cute little friendly place. They have a sit down area for breakfast and a small case with homemade pastries in the front. The hashbrowns were great! The fruit bowls were the best I have had at a restaurant with apples, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and kiwi in a juice. It was very good! The cinnamon swirl french toast was delicious! Some of the best I have had!

Everything was so fresh and delicious. The marmalade brioche was one of the tastiest treats I've ever had and the cinnamon rolls were absolutely to die for. Everyone there was so friendly and kind and it had such a warm, positive feel. We ordered food to go (smoked salmon brie and chive quiche....🤤) But after sneaking a bite decided it was too tasty to wait and ended up sitting down to eat. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!!

This was an amazing place. The food was fresh and homemade. The flavors were paired well. I had the wheeler omelette with brie cheese, sundried tomatoes, and spinach. We had this delicious polenta toast with crab apple butter! Also the homemade maple bars were to die for!!! I highly recommend this bakery.

Amazing food and experience. Friendly staff and beautiful setting

RACIST ** I’d give less stars if I could. Stopped to get breakfast on a road trip with my partner( a black man) . The lady at the counter told us it was to go only, we were waiting to order and another couple ( white) walked in and she said “ are you going to have something to eat here? Have a seat anywhere” when I asked her why she told us it was only to go her response began with - “I’m not trying to be discriminatory” I ended the conversation there and we left. 2022 and there are still people who behave like this?? I’m disgusted.

Stopped by on road trip, thought it would be a nice stop in rustic town. Disappointed in everything, from service to quality of food.
Coffee, bitter and tasted burnt, asked for caramel and there was no flavor at all, no milk or cream to latte Donuts were heavy and dense, like a bread not donut. The raspberry cream cheese Danish was not pastry dough, heavy and dense like donut, the cream cheese was non existent.
There was NOBODY in this place at 11:10am and was told we could not sit down or dine in. Will NEVER come here again, recommend to keep driving, there is another bakery not far up the road and coffee

A bit on the pricier side, but well worth it for the homemade breakfast. Delicious french toast and hashbrowns. Coffee is good and the server is friendly! Very scenic and not crowded at all on this early 8:00 Saturday morning! It's a more simple, homemade taste--delicious because it's fresh.
