Bread Barn Bakery

Absolutely love this bakery. They make great coffee and I never have to wait more than a few minutes. The men are all lovely. I get sour dough rolls here every morning. They also make fabulous croissants, olive bread and bagels. Such a lovely small business and the cakes they make look phenomenal. My glebe regular bakery!

This charming bakery makes myriad freshly baked loaves of bread that are on display every morning. In addition to breads, there are also little cakes, tarts, and other desserts, which I assume are all made in-​house. There are croissants and bread rolls, too. Some of the items however, did look like they had been out on display a bit too long. Most everything in this bakery café is affordable, from the $ 4 cakes to the $ 3 coffee.
The coffee here is really good. The bread is actually quite good, but I did find it expensive. The loaf that I brought home had the great artisan flavor that is present in all rustic and homemade breads. The people that work here are extremely friendly and great at recommending the freshest of today’s selections.

The Bread Barn is a decent little shop for sandwiches, coffees, and specialty cakes. The guys working inside are terrifically friendly and will make some fantastic recommendations. I often go in for a coffee as I wait for the bus to come down Glebe Point Road. Strong, smooth and delicious… it gets the job done. Careful though, they are about the last place on earth that doesn’t take credit cards of any type, so your pockets better be lined with gold (coins) when you step through the doors.
The other day I was running late for a dinner party (TYPICAL), and swung into Bread Barn to pick up the necessary sweets I promised I would bring. I chose a small apple tart, a small caramel cake with cream cheese frosting and a small chocolate cake with some sort of thick buttercream on the top. For only $ 12 for all 3, I was out the door and off to my friend’s place.
After the meal, I split the little treats up into bit sized pieces and arranged them on a platter. There were 6 adults, and I would say the 3 cakes/​tarts were WELL enough. We found the two cakes to be a little dense and dry. Who wants to guess how long they might have been hanging out in that pastry case? The apple tart, however, was sweet and cinnamon-​y and quite nice indeed. I might have had more success with the cakes if I could have lubed them up with some ice cream. But hey, can’t win ‘em all.
