Reviews of Gunn's Bakery (Bakery)

Rich Aymont

Nothing says the North End of Winnipeg like fresh bread from Gunns!

Mimi W

Large selection of Eastern European baked goods, both sweet and savoury. -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"

Shirley Radawetz

Been coming for years, but since the new ownership it seems like the sizes of product are not what they used to be. Bagels and loaves seem to be shrinking in size.

Alex Freidenson

Best bakery in Winnipeg!

Liam Morris

Incredible pastries and breads.

Vince Davies

Great food and great service.

Mj

The best onion pumpernickel bread

leslie pirart

Great baking

Rodney Hunt

Friendly staff, nice birthday cakes

Ben Jiménez

A Winnipeg institution to be sure, if this place was in Wolseley and marketed its products as artisanal, they could get away with charging 3 to 4 times the amount for their products. There's a reason you'll always find a line up in the mornings here. Without question the bagels are the best in town. What I feel is under appreciated is the pumpernickel and marble rye.

Miss G

Good bakery!!!..but. $$$

Mike Meyers

The finest in Jewish baking in the City

Su Keller

Mmmmm. A Winnipeg must for visitors and every Winnipegger should visit just for the scent and experience alone. I'd say best bagels in town. Cakes, tortas, pastries, bread.. .ahhhhh

Daniel Moroz

A Winnipeg Icon. This Bakery has stood the test of time. High quality baked goods and a great staff, has kept this bakery here for nearly a Century.

Phyllis Goodwin

Louie Doulias

The baking here is excellent, especially the cinnamon buns.

Lynn Chwartacki

Best bakery in the Peg. Aromas that knock your socks off. Great selection of soup, lavosh, bread, pastries, perogies etc. Yummy!

Clement John Stephen

Very very good quality products. I am really very happy to find out this bakery. I reached the shop at 07:15 in the morning and there were people already waiting for shop to open. Very cooperative staff. Honest people. I have tried cookies, bread and a couple of more products. Quality and prices impressed me. I drove from Waverley to Gunn’s and they have met my expectations. I would say they performed beyond my expectations. Everybody give a try

WW Sparky

Great bagels!

Hermel LaPointe

Not impressed

Nathan Wild

Fantastic selection, excellent product. Water bagels and pizza bagel buns are the best, as are many of the sweets.

JUDY SHKOLNY

Love their baked goods, knishes, and bread.

Lots of well made pastries, cookies, breads and buns. One of the few places to get properly sweet gingerbread cookies and imperial cookies all year round.

Andrew Sibley

Awesome cakes

Rachel S

I love Gunns cookies and the pumpernickel bread is awesome

Jack shortbox

Just not the same the 2 girl seem like they don't Wana be there, I could remember it being a privilege to work there. It's so important not to lose that touch with the customers. It just not the same not even the goodies where good anymore. I'll have to go back see if it was a off day.

Taras Machula

Come early if you want a cream cheese Danish. Best knishes in Winnipeg.

Gord Steindel

The go to local bakery in Winnipeg' north end.

l robinson

Local business, products made on site daily breads, pastries and cakes. Kosher shop for those who value this option, never had anything from here I didn't love.

Dwayne Williams

Best oatmeal raisin cookies ever... used to be. Since the new owner things aren't up to what used to be. I had my first sugar free apple jack since the change of ownership... it was all crust and no filling. They used to be full of apple filling. Now there's barely any. Oatmeal raisin cookies are still good but not the best ever anymore. I get it new owner has a mortgage so there's go to be some cut backs. It's unfortunate.

Niomie Ducharme

Great cakes, staff could use improvement.

Angela Nickels

Cinnamon buns hard and tasteless

Indoor Wayne (OverHeater)

Great service, amazing products!

Gordon Challes

Polish Poppyseed rolls are wonderful. Large selection of tasty cookies to choose from, cinnamon buns, cinnamon bread, and lots more goodies.

John Dziadek

Since the old Polish bakery on Main and Hartford closed about 8 years ago, this is the best place in the city that I know of.

Gail Roberta Ford

great sandwiches

Brent Oig

Love the selection of pastries and breads

Annelies

So many great things to choose from! ( sweet and savoury) Really helpful and friendly employees. Delicious challah and knishes. It was my first time there and I'm looking forward to going back soon.

Daniel Roscoe

Nice place, lots of choices, good baking. Prices are not low, but you are getting what you pay for.

Joseph Frobisher

Good Bakery and paster

Kayla

I was introduced to their delicious bagels by a family member and have since been back to try the onion buns, which are equally great. I'm loving this place and will definitely be back to try other items!

Melissa blais

Placed a large order of cookies through email for a Breakfast with Santa fundaiser for children to decorate. We just needed plain sugar cookies, but a big enough size for decorating. It started off as a good experience and I was told we would get a discount which was greatly appreciated! Throughout the process I had phoned the bakery once to confirm, it seemed I was given a different price and the staff weren't all on the same page but we figured it out (or so it seemed) and made arrangements for pick up. Well we just picked up the cookies and were very shoked to see that they are way too small to be decorated and for the price it doesn't seem like we got any sort of discount at all. When I called to explain about the obvious mix up, I was told that it was my fault and I shouldn't have phoned the bakery to confirm or speak to anyone else other than the initital person I dealt with through email as the staff don't know whats going on and weren't aware of my order etc etc. I assume when you place a wholesale order and phone the "wholesale department" that whoever is working would look at my order and know what is happening! A mistake or not, blaming the customer is ridiculous and I'm appalled at how I was treated. The owner was rude. He didn't offer anything to rectify the situation either. (Was thinking maybe some money back or something small. At least something to make up for the mix up and confusion with his staff) But nope nothing but pointing the blame at me! This is a Christmas fundraiser for kids and I am simply a volunteer trying to make it a great event. Just so disapointed and wondering where has the Christmas spirit gone? I was hoping to use this company every year but never again! Terrible customer service!

Sean Reid

Best bakery in Winnipeg

Karin Harper

I love their cream cheese danishes! I moved away several years ago, but I always look forward to going back in to Winnipeg to get some. Wish I could find them somewhere near Steinbach...

Alex Derksen

Best bakeey in town. Lemon filling in the cakes is the lemoniest filling I have ever had in a cake. Their harvest grain and marble rye breads are just the best.

Jean-Michel Molin

Everything here is delicious. We enjoyed goodies from the counter but also picked up baked goods for Saffie's general store in Albert Beach

Ben Fleisher

Best apple turnovers I've ever had. Been coming here most of my life, will continue to as well. Challah and bagels are spectacular, the lavash is to die for - a real Winnipeg institution.

Warren Lillie

Great baked goods. I miss the oatmeal raspberry sandwich cookies though.

Emily Nikkel

I buy the bagels and the cherry turnovers usually and it just makes me so happy. Bagels are way better than ones at chain grocery stores. Support local!

Ken Hall

Good choices and great service always busy

Sean Keenahan

Nice place

Stan Kruse

Great Jewish bakery. Generations old.

Marina Havard (Marishinka)

Not as good as it use to be. Spinach knish was not edible, Bitter and dry. The bagels had no flavor and terrible texture. The Hamentash was ok the chocolate babka was sub-par and dry. Ok the poppy seed was tasty.

Liz Cochrane

Cake was pretty dry, icing was okay. Could get a better cake from Safeway.

Weenug Kitten

Good

Jenna Lynn

I went to Gunns bakery for a birthday cake for my dad yesterday. I found the staff very helpful as It was my first time there, the young woman at the front gave me many options for custom made birthday cakes, and ended up ordering a cake with a picture of my dad printed in icing on the top. the cake looked AMAZING <3 It was ready in 2 days as promised and absolutely nobody was disappointed in taste, appearance, or customer service. Ill definitely be back again soon.

Donna Giese

Those kasha (buckwheat) knish ... I've dreamed of you for years

Michelle Riedner

Fabulous. Best knishes ever!

Meghan S.

Classic Winnipeg bakery. My favourite items are the poppy seed hamentashen (only available during Purim), bagels and the cheese and onion buns.

Susan Sullivan

I buy all of Gunn's breads, buns, bakery items that come up into Albert Beach (Saffie's), a few beaches way from me. I live here full time and for a long time. I love Gunn's (I am thrilled your products showed up at Saffie's), everything, we have very limited choices up here, haven't seen the bagels up here yet. Thanks so much for serving my East Side Lake Winnipeg home. We love your Light Rye. We love your pastries. I hope you still come in the winter. I also hope one day we will see your bagels up here to !

mize Da Silva

An amazing bakery with great variety. The staff very friendly.

Fear Wpg

Love Gunn's BUT not being open until at least 7 kills 95% of the times I want to go and grab stuff. 5:30 is so early. Most people are still fighting traffic from work at that time.

Emily Halldorson

The only place to buy good bagels (try the onion!). And apple jacks.

Tom Aldridge

So good. Diplomat cookies are super!

Shawn Smith

Fabulous place

Rod N

Amazing foods And the Knish's are awesome!

J Da G

I’ve been going to this place since I was kid in the 80’s! I used to sneak out of Holy Ghost School just to grab the pizza bagels. Whenever I drive up or fly in from the USA this is one of the stops. Every bite brings back childhood memories of this place!

Cresta Reyes

I love their bread and pastries! My faves are the fergassa bread, onion bun, and the cheddar and broccoli croissant. Their cinnamon buns are huge and delightful. There are so many other items I still need to try!

Arek Fuczyla

Great for decades

Darrell Warren

Excellent product friendly and helpful staff

Bob Ness

I was there 3 times this week, usually before noon. Not once did they have ANY Caraway rye for sale. What kind of bakery has NO bread? Haven't been there for years, probably won't go back!

Claude Pratte

Great bakery products and quick service

R B

Big fan of this place

Stephanie Jemielity

I L❤️VE Fergasa bread! I love imperial cookies! I hear lots of wonderful things about there bagels from others. If you live in the north end you need to go here! You will bring home something delicious. They also made my wedding cake for me.

Sidney Shapira

Who in Winnipeg doesn't know Gunn's Bakery on historic Selkirk Ave? Gunn's is known city-wide for its' Jewish-style breads and pastries, as well as knishes, blintzes, and much more. Best news? They deliver, city-wide!

Steve Diglisic

Descent choices.

Bryon Chochinov

Realy good bakery

Mr T

Try the dry bagels. You will lose your mind. Perfect with or without a hot beverage to dip it in. I never knew such perfection existed. Thank you Gunn's

Ruth Clare

I used to love this bakery and bought the products regularly but since the bakery was sold I feel taste a difference in the products. The bread used to be so wonderfully delicious and moist, rich in taste but something has changed. It's still okay but not the same. The poppy seed roll is smaller and the bread complements are not as moist, rich in flavour. The knishes are still good as before. I was there yesterday and the store used to have a table in the centre where products were on display. That is no longer there. It was convenient as many times, I didn't come in for a coffee cake bit it was there on this table so delicious, not gone as well other baked goods. Still a great bakery.

Brad Singer

A Winnipeg institution, mainly from their bagels, as plain and simple or as good as they are.

Zoltan J

Great choice of bakery goods. Love the French bread!!!

Marcella Fostey

My favorite bakery! They have it all and more! I especially go for the lavash and bagels

James Pappas

A fine Winnipeg tradition..great bagels, fergasa bread.applejacks.and so much more. A JEWEL in Winnipeg

A B

Fair prices, service was friendly and good selection. I'm addicted to their fergaza loaf.

Always Surprised

The hamentashen dough was short-bread, which is not what I expected.

Judy Herscovitch

Excellent bakery.

robert erstelle

This place is a city treasure, been serving the North End for years. Excellent selection, great prices it's a small store front, but you can call ahead to order your special needs/requirements for all occasions. Street parking

Anne Wiebe

The best bread you can buy in Winnipeg. My family and I have gone there 40 years plus.

Montana D

Best old country baking in Manitoba!!

Jack Chester

Everything here is so delicious and their staff are very nice and helpful

Howard Thomson

This business treats it's employees very poorly. The short term people change often which is somewhat normal however now even long term (30+ year) employees have had enough. When you treat people with such little respect they will eventually move on. I recently learned that the heart & soul of the actual baking operation has left. I've considered him a dear friend for many years and have always been disappointed by the way he was treated so I suppose it was not a shock to learn of the continued indifference in his departure. Shame on ownership for not recognizing and respecting the ones who helped build this business. I cannot and will not support this business anymore.

Ken Francis

This is a great place for bread, and baked goods. Tradition lives here.

Sharon Toth

Yummy best apple Jack's in Winnipeg

Paul Smith

Bought some fresh cinnamon buns. They were sooo good!!!

Mark Spevack

Gd product ..... but expensive !!!!

RC

Gunn's Bakery should seal wrap their gingerbread cookies because they tasted old and were hard. All of their other cookies were seal wrapped to keep their freshness intact. The other bakery items I purchased tasted fresh, and were much better.

Chaim Hopkin

Good stuff and service

AM B

In my role at The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, and my personal love of everything baked at Gunn's, they make & provide quality deliciousness here. Catering orders, special event cakes, bagels, buns, soups, and oooh, the breads! Been there, done that and continue to often. I dare you to pick only 1 item...each and every time! Thank you Gunn's for your outstanding commitment to feeding our city and for your long-standing support of The Chamber. Our happy bellies & smiles thank you.

Jim Sokoloski

Highly recommend, fast friendly service, free parking, busy at times, lots to choose from, pastries, cakes, donuts, bread, bagels and more....only problem i had was asked for a cinnamon bun, got a raisin, apple cinnamon bun (yuk). Also items in paper bags need to be transferred into plastic bags when you get home, items will dry out in the paper ones...
