Bodhi's Artisan Bakery - Nanaimo

Bodhi's seemed sub par to us. Went to have coffee and a pastry Danish was burned on the bottom, and chocolate eclair was frozen inside. Fresh?? Coffee wasn't good either. Perhaps bakery side is good, but as far as a coffee shop goes skip it.

Like everyone else I love their bread. I wanted to try something different so asked for a white bread, non-sourdough, with a nice chew. The nice young man recommended Working Man White, which was exactly what I was craving. Should have gotten 2 loaves, finished half the loaf by suppertime.Also got a cinnamon bun, pretty good, lots of syrup, big enough for the two of us, and butter tarts, also pretty good, huge, looked like hand pies.I keep asking for spelt bread but have to order that ahead of time, may do that next time.

Very cute, country style bakery with lovely patio to enjoy your treats!Amazing cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants and Americano.Good quality and reasonably priced .I’m visiting from Edmonton and bought some fresh loaves of bread to take home, so yet to be tasted ?.Only downside is that I walked here on Sunday morning and it was closed ?. However, I should have checked the hours. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays.I will certainly return on my next visit to Nanaimo! 5 ??

I used to love this place because of their chocolate and savoury croissants.. but the service has always been very sub-par. It didn’t used to bother me before because their baked goods were so yummy but the service seems to be even worse than before and I didn’t really think that could be possible lol. Anyway I decided that it’s not worth going back anymore.. I don’t want to subject myself to feeling stupid and a bother each time I want croissants.

Yum! I can’t believe it’s taken me so many years to find this gem. Always on the search for a decent (not cake-y) muffin and the raisin bran didn’t disappoint. Coffee was good and the apricot danish was still warm and fabulous. Will be back!
