Reviews of True Grain - Summerland (Bakery)

Mimi W

Would have liked to see more sweet baked goods when I popped in as opposed to just bread and the ginger cookies need a bit more kick. ;) -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"

Best bread. Real hand made flavour and taste. Favourites are multigrain loaf and baguette.

Great bread but cookies are a little pricey

Ross Andersen

Smelt great and looked good but Very poor customer service. In a tourist town and you can’t pay with credit card. So we left and went up the street.

(Translated) Popular organic bakery. Red Fife Heritage Wheat, which is said to be the original species of Canadian wheat, and Spelt Wheat, an ancient cereal grain that has less gluten, are purchased directly from organic farmers in British Columbia. Fresh flour that has been ground in small quantities with a traditional stone mill in the store is also on sale. When freshly baked bread is laid out on the shelves every morning, the café is also filled with an appetizing scent. For breakfast, croissants with chocolate, Pain au Chocolat. The ingredients, butter, chocolate, sugar and eggs are all organic! Please enjoy with organic coffee roasted locally. A superb gingerbread cookie is recommended as a souvenir!

Their products are great and the staff is very friendly, but their hours seem to change a lot and I never know what day they are open.

Bill Broddy

Great artisan bakery

Monika Hrubenja

Delicious bread,tried many things, focaccia buns are my favourite so far, would like to see more salty pastry, cheese croissants maybe..didn't like ginger cookies they were to hard.

Their coffee is bland and generic, which is surprising because everything else about the place is authentic and down to earth... Per their name, they do breads and other grain products exceptionally well, perhaps a bakery that grew into a hybrid coffee shop explains why weak on the coffee The staff is surprisingly not exactly outgoing despite the quaint and cozy feel of the place... Nevertheless, a good coffee shop, just not great

Rita Montgomery

Adam Lawrenson

Great coffee, great cookies and fresh pasta. Service is also above average - very impressed! Will be back every time I’m in Summerland.

Jan Timmers (VE7JBT)

Fresh baked bread. And it's got body - and soul, if you can say that about bread. I guess I'm saying it's delicious. If you want cheap white bread, don't come here. If you want something that will make your mouth water, this is the place.

Derrell Flett

Expensive but healthy

Jordan Strilaiff

Great place to stop in in Summerland. Cookies and all the other baked sweets are lovely; if they have any of the carrot raisin pumpkin seed cookies I heartily recommend them. Picked up some focaccia as well and it's the best I've ever had.

Par-T-Perfect Okanagan

True Grain is a True Gem!!! The most beautiful (and healthy) AND tasty breads in this part of the Okanagan, I am constantly sending clients here to get digestible bread that feels just as good as it tastes! Thank you so much True Grain for all that you do !

Brandy Maslowski

Just came back from our Caribbean trip where we sampled our favourite treat Pain au Chocolat (among many other things) at real Patisseries on some of the french islands. We fell in love with this treat back home at True Grain Bread and were very excited to find that they make it the same - so authentic right here at home in Summerland. Well done True Grain Team!

It’s worth the drive if you aren’t from Summerland. If you live in Summerland, you already know how good it is!

Kathleen Hamel

Lots of variety in healther bread choices, buns, cookies, and desserts.

Lily Johnson

I wanted to try a hot cross bun I hear they ferment the dough in orange . I just about fainted when the lady handed me a looney size bun and said $ 2.50. I was disappointed and feel ripped off .I do like the foccacia buns they are huge and only a $1.00

Alex Snelling

J. Cheung

Fresh baked goods that smelled amazing and tasted great. Don’t pass up the Copenhagen swirl! Nice little patio outside as well

GWoo

We go to the Cowichan Bay location and really enjoy the products and decided to try this location. The Summerland location is just as good and they carry basically the same product line. We were very happy with the service and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the store. The cookies that True Grain have are probably the best that I have experienced from any bakery.

Kris Mruk

Fantastic bread

marja ross

Best copenhagens

Paul Edmonds

Fab place

Scott Cadwell

Great baked good. Had the cinnamon buns and they were amazing. The bun was so fluffy and delicious. The icing was great. Really great place.

To those complaining about not being able to pay with a credit card, you obviously don't understand the small margins of these small businesses and trying to make a living. A savvy traveller would know to carry cash when going to independent businesses--giving a business a one-star review because you didn't carry cash reflects badly on no one but yourself. True Grain is my new favorite find in the Okanagan. We came here the morning after the Penticton fondo, and bought a variety of products for breakfast, then lined up again to buy more to take on our drive home. We tried the cheese twist, the cheese pretzel, the German pretzel, the savoury breakfast bun, and roasted almond chocolate cookies. Everything was delicious, and high quality. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, and did not rush us while we tried to narrow down our selection. Given the care and quality of ingredients that go into the products, I feel that the prices are really fair. This is not bread made with cheap imported bulk flour. These people actually truly care about the products they produce, and use ingredients to support that belief. They will also tell you about the ingredients if you care to ask. There is a shelf full of various types of flour you can buy. I am not a baker and have no idea what they all do or what they all mean, but that selection looks impressive. I would suggest to the store that the "no credit card" policy/sign be made more obvious, just to help those who must pay by credit cards.

SJ Norie

Great place for baked goodies. Tasty coffees and lattes. Organic, local grains. (Old varieties, including spelt.)

John Beaver

Lovely homey feel. Smells is delicious. You have to come back a few times to get everything in! Early morning for early risers, later for cinnamon buns etc. Staff was amazingly nice, friendly and helpful! Come here when you visit Summerland!

Joe Mama

bich no grab plate

Rex Putney

Great Bakery! Their "Cheese Twists" are unbelievably addictive. Wasn't a problem for me, however, they don't accept credit cards. 5/5.

Jennifer Peters

Awesome folks running it and great baked goods.

John Conybeer

Top quality ingredients and unique treats!

Colin Ward

Good latte and baked goods. Being a bakery there isn't much for food, but the selection of baked goods will leave you satisfied. Don't forget to take home a fresh loaf too!

Roxane Larrabee

Thank you True Grain for all the love and attention you put into everything you make. You are truly appreciated!

Rod McLean

The best breads and good coffee

John

Stopped for coffee when we drove into Summerland to look at antiques stores. The coffee was fine and the service was adequate. It is counter services and we were behind one of those people who take a long time to decisde what they want and then dig through their wallet for exact change. We also bought some cookies which were very tasty.

James Crozier

Friendly service, fresh bread and the best cookies I have ever tasted. You must try the carrot and pumpkin seed cookies. They are so moist and delicious.

Joy Frost

Great

Mike Castrucow

Very expensive!

Robby Ray

My favorite bakery in the Okanagan. Croissants are fantastic. You may pay a little more but the quality is well worth it. I'd recommend getting there early as they seem to sell out of some of their more popular items.

Daniel Pickell

Great Bakery Organic Ingredients

Kenneth Paton

Ordered a hot chocolate and got a mug of just foam, and $7 bucks for a hot chocolate(foam) And a small cinnemon twist is too much

Russ Winslade

Outstanding bread and baked goods

Cinnamon buns to die for, definitely one of the best of the Okanagan Valley. Summerland is a hidden gem.

Alison Cosgrove

Mary Macdonald

Fantastic bakery

Stephen Tomlin

This place is beyond a normal bakery. You must check it out and try their bread. The ginger cookies are out of this world. 100% organic and ancient grain. You'll never eat normal North American flour ever again.

Heather Knox

Great bread,pasta (dried) and pastry. I had something like a Danish with almond paste and walnuts. Yum!

ginni brown

Excellent food. Friendly service. Good variety.

Dan Sutton

A great bakery with European-like goodies. The only issue we've ever had is when they overcooked their wonderful ginger cookies which then became hard instead of the terrific soft they usually are. But do go.
