Reviews of The Bake Oven (Coffee Shop)

Carl Enns

The Bake Oven has a diverse selection of imported foods. Although Dutch foods are their specialty, they have foods from many European countries. As well as this their deli features specialty cold cuts, fresh baked products and desserts. They also have a cafe. I have not tried it as of yet but do know that they serve breakfast and desserts. Did I mention the large selection of Dutch licorice. The staff is very helpful.

Professor Panther Hardraad

The best food in the area. And the baked goods are amazing.

John William Nault

Great service awesome pricing the restaurant had a great burger with a spicy mustard that was pretty good. I highly recommend this place to everybody especially if you like sweets I had something that was like a cannoli but it was something else and it was really good with almond

Joahna Zilinsky

Great spot for breakfast at 10am on a saturday, not that busy, great food, and amazing staff. Fantastic service and highly recommend for anyone who is not rushed and wants to enjoy their breakfast. New workers working hard and amazing customer service. Highly recommend for good company and good food.

Judy Undiks

Love this place. Great bakery but so many fun foods to try or scoop up old favorites

Chris and Stephanie Ashley

So much selection. If you ever lived or visited Holland or Germany...this is the place to visit and pick up all the European food items you love. Excellent baked goods. They have a restaurant i have not tried yet. I go faithfully twice a year and stock up. Mmm fritesaus.

Paul Perzel

As always this is a fantastic little Dutch store with a fantastic Dutch café. The place is always clean, food was excellent and the service was quick, even though this time they had a large group in while we were there. The staff is always friendly and tend to all of our needs. My Dutch mother loves this place, they have may products she has only ever seen in Holland.

Food was excellent.

Ben Jiménez

Been looking for great mom and pop breakfast place in Winnipeg, I'm happy to report I've found it. The food quality it top knotch, prepared excellently and is super tasty. I'm not a sweets in the morning type, but their cinnamon toast is just so stellar that I am a convert. The other stand out for me was the bacon. I should also point out the staff, who are friendly and attentive. This is a hidden gem. Loved it and plan to make it a regular destination.

Carol Vermeer

First time visit. Very good! Extremely pleasant service.

Albert Riezebos

Lots of Dutch goods and great service! I have to go soon and get my chocolate letters. Just went again to get my chocolate letters for this year, some Gouda, drops and other favourites. I would go more but it is a long bus ride from my place. I bought some souvenirs also, because you can never have too many fridge magnets or decorated tiles.

hot rod daddy

the best deserts and pastries in town..

Karl Hollinshead

Great place for unusual foods from Europe, even Great Britain. Very helpful staff and everything baked fresh, well worth a visit even for a browse.

Prairie Gnome

The apple cream cheese strudel was perfectly cooked; apples not mushy or under cooked, perfect sweetness, and the pastry was awesome. Butter tart squares, brownies, and date squares all wonderful. Even the discount pound cake was still great, moist and perfect density; the raspberry filling and lemon crumble were nice additions to the pound cake.

Bev Rowden

Awesome food! Great atmosphere,the prices are low and you get lots for your dollar! Very friendly! 5/5 Stars

Mary F

How have I not given my rating for the amazing little shop sooner!? I love this place because it has so many things to remind me of my cultural background, treats you can't find easily anywhere else. Lots of European candies, biscuits, stroop... Items to bake your own treats... Always good deals on granola... Lovely selection of cheeses. The staff are friendly too. Great hours for a nice evening outing when you feel for something sweet!

Andrew T

First time there. We did some shopping while waiting for friends, then had dinner in the restaurant. Very good food. I had the schnitzel with a Dutch Onion soup. Everything was delicious, though I'm used to having gravy on schnitzel, so I'll order some next time. They should offer Spatzel with the schnitzel! Oh well, the soup was delicious. Definitely coming back!

James Dykstra

It's a great little bakery and THE place to go in Winnipeg if you want Dutch specialty items, whether that's soup mixes, cookies, chocolate letters, chocolate hail, or salted licorice. The parking is easy, the staff is friendly, and there's even a small cafe where you can get a snack.

Brian Buchan

great baking

Roy Sommerfield

Great breakfast, the early bird doesn't include potatoes.

Tamara Smith

Street Guy

Some serious home cooking here people! The service is awesome and the food is sooooo awesome! Been to the bake shop, really good, felt like a kid again in the place. Then came back for breakfast, have not had a better breakfast. Hash browns cooked perfectly, eggs very good. Oh ya and the coffee is good to. Did I mention staff is awesome? Ya they are!

Seleni casa

Only Dutch Bakery/Grocer/Deli in the city. Try the whipped cream cake it's their specialty. Not too sweet and have been ordering birthday cakes from here since 1996 (always been good and no leftover cake after... different fillings but the vanilla custard is a favorite)! A small/cafe restaurant is attached called the Bruin Cafe if you want to eat in or take out too :) Also love the assorted imported goods (cheese, jam, condiments, drinks, cookies, baking items, etc.). They have assorted bar cakes like several types of nanaimo, brownies, dates, chocolate, butter tart bars. Pastries (variety of croissants and strudels), cakes (lemon, ferrero, oreo, pistachio, and cheesecakes (. The breads are great with any of the jams, cheese, and deli meats they carry.

Dylan Crococ

Came to visit family, stopped by this place by suggestion. Pleasantly surprised, great atmosphere and service specifically from the girl with glasses, I think overheard her name was Hailey. Next time I return to the area I'll be sure to stop by. Bravo!

Diane Lelond

autumn

I've been going here on and off throughout my life when i lived in the area. Loved going there during school hours to get some munchies way back when. I've never gotten anything I didn't like from here and you can get a lot of German stuff which my family loves. Lot of memories for me around this place and i'm sure for so many others who live nearby

Larry

Wow

Dustin S. Reimer

Used to live across the street and it made up for living in East Kildonan. Lots of great imported items. Definitely looking forward to going back.

Shannon Demski

The best cinnamon bread ever!

Matt Walford

Great local spot. I have been getting baked goods and cold cuts from there for years. I tried eating breakfast there for the first time a month ago and will definitely be coming back! I love supporting this local family owned shop!

Good food

Heidi Vander Veen

I love that I can get Traditional food and goodies from the Netherlands here!

Jeff Stoehler (yourfavoritedj)

Awesome German cakes and pastries. They have many European store products as well as meats and cheeses. There is also a small restaurant inside that I have yet to try, but I see is always busy.

Manda Van Doeselaar

I love this place and getting food/treats of my childhood. Best dutch import store

Nyla Jaye Koomans

This store is awesome for online orders. A large variety of items at competitive prices. By far the best store to order dutch treats not easily found elsewhere.

Roger

Good selection of Dutch food products.

Sol Sevillo

Great desserts and pastries! The cheesecakes are particularly light and delicious!

David Brown

Fabulous breakfast in the Cafe. Highly recommended.

Yvonna Both

Good morning I must get something of my chest , I am not very happy with the way it is now after Jerome left my last order I got dried out cheese and some other goods that I ordered and got something different, now I need to order chocolate letters and your website won't let me search for other products,why did you have to change a site that worked ??

Rob Gigliotti

Best cinnamon buns in town.

Uncle Buck

A real gem of a place in an unassuming location. Had the Ruban sandwich with fries, coleslaw and potato salad. A++++ High quality ingredients in everything. You will feel like you are at grandmas house. Thank-you The Bake Oven !!!! See you soon.

Tina Reeves

This bakery offers tasty homemade treats in a wide variety and selection. Pies are exceptionally unique and delicious. The Cinnamon buns are my favourite. Staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend checking out this little gem.

Kenneth Rempel

Indonesian poutine at The Bake Oven for lunch! Soooooo good! The Kroket Burger and homemade soup was really good too!

JL Amor

Great little bakery and shop. International products and yummy items!!

Ragnar Lothbrok

I remember going to Princess Margaret school when I was a kid in the early 60s and at that time this was called Pauls grocery store great to see it now transformed to a specialty store and restaurant. I went there yesterday and it’s amazing what they have here a lot of hard to find products from Germany and the rest of Europe. Check out the liquorice and chocolates from Holland and Germany. Very very cool place to visit tucked in a great neighbourhood.

Amanda Matthews

Quaint little spot with a variety of European foods. The food and service in the cafe was excellent and the store was tidy and well - stocked.

Mckinley Morton

Great little bakery and diner serving delicious Dutch dishes.

Henk Von Pickartz

Great place for Dutch specialties

dee turcotte

One eord AWESOME

David Hallson

Awesome little shop. Some things are a little more expensive but this is a family run business.

Dieu Nguyen

First time trying out The Bake Oven, ordered through Skip. We ordered the Battered Haddock w/ Coleslaw and a Reuben sandwich w/ Fries. The battered haddock was delicious, did not smell fishy, the batter tasted great and not too heavy. The tartar sauce was top notch and house made. The coleslaw is one of the best I’ve tasted, made with fresh dill. You can tell the coleslaw was made in house and not with store bought dressing. HOWEVER. We were extremely disappointed in the size of the Rueben ($9.95) which did not come with any sides. Just the sandwich. Judging by the price we expected the sandwich to be quite substantial. $10 would get you a 12” foot long. The meat to bread ratio was disappointing for a Rueben and we did not feel like we got $10 worth of sandwich. See pictures and judge for yourselves. Otherwise it tasted good and the pickles appears to be made in house as well.

Jason Smith

Great little restaraunt

Sam Gilmour Schouten

Great supply of Dutch food

Bruce Giesbrecht

Friendly neighborhood bakery, deli and cafe. Lots of imported Dutch foods. One of the few places in town with a great selection of Senseo coffee pods.

shawn Mcphee

Best burger buns in the city Great bakery with great staff and selection of European grocery items. Also a cafe that has never disappointed

M Thompson

Another place that serves breakfast and can't cook an egg. Maybe its just me but I like eggs the way some people like steak--cooked to order. I'd like just once to order food from somewhere that can fry an egg and leave the yolk slightly runny and the whites fully cooked. This isn't an mythical idea, I have prepared eggs this way at home many times without issue so I know it can be done. I ordered some food for delivery and it came with rubbery eggs and a hair. They had neglected the added side of bacon which I had prepaid for. I requested a second order which was provided to me and found it to be almost as bad as the first. This time they saw fit not to season the potatoes, served me less toast, and somehow undercooked the eggs. They also felt the need to put some lettuce and a half slice of tomato in the box, not sure why. The only part of the meal I truly enjoyed was the bacon, it was cooked right and the meat was delicious. All in all I will probably never order food from here again. I would have rated 2 stars but I liked he customer service, despite the hour long wait for the second order.

Lance VanderVegte

Lot's of great Dutch food and treats.

DHMovie100

Excellent store they have products here that you can't buy anywhere else. For me it was a walk back in time as my father used to own this building when it was a grocery store over 40 years ago.

Jade

I love this place! Even tho it's small & may have less of a selection since the pandemic, it still has all the essentials that let me taste or make many Dutch foods & treats. The restaurant since being re-vamped has so much more selection for authentic Dutch meals than before. I loved it then but I love it even more now. Makes me miss & feel close to Holland again.

Rachel Bennet

Fantastic service, great environment, very clean, staff is very friendly. Love to stay here. Food is so delicious, I definitely want to come back. HOWEVER, their coffee sucks royally and brings down the whole experience. Therefore it gets an overall 3/5.

Liz Greenhalgh

Love to buy their Buffet Ham, also lots of variety to choose from.Great black forest cakes, made better than most. This place is worth shopping at. Also great restaurant.

Donna Nelson

Awesome ????

Cynthia van Ieperen

They had everything I needed. What they didn't have for my mom, they special ordered it. Great service and fantastic baked goods.

BigBeefyButtocks

The pudding slices are close to an English custard slice...tastes really good...the lemon one to...my only down point is not enough pudding filling... otherwise five star and my son is a huge fan of the chocolate eclair...????

Tony Fast

Fresh bakings and deli... small coffee shop to side

Nicole bell

Tim Van Acker

Great store and cafe! Big selection of Dutch and other European foods. Friendly and helpful staff. Great assortment of foods that you won't be able to find anywhere else in Winnipeg.

Amber

First time trying, ordered one beef and one chicken kroket for $5.50 ea. What I got for over $5 was only slightly larger than a mozza stick and not as tasty. Ordered fries with gravy, they forgot the gravy....save your money, go somewhere else.

Jason SOUSA

Excellent food and good people

Jennifer Andreas

Great selection of cheese.

April

The food is really great at this restaurant. My only complaint is that I can never get through when I call. 3 days in a row that I wanted to place an order and the phone has the same message that the person I have dialled is unavailable. I even tried Skip the Dishes to order food around 4:30pm and the restaurant shows closed but the google page says takeout until 7pm. Very confusing.

Rolly Grenier

Best raisen bread and chocolate eclairs

Qbou Now

I haven’t eaten in the restaurant, but the bakery, deli and cheese shop are wonderful. The sausage rolls, Ollie bollen and cream puffs are WOW. And the aged cheeses….chefs kiss.

Dan Klippenstein

Very homey atmosphere and great food, whether it’s breakfast, their Bruin Burger, Friday fish dinners, baked goods or pretty much anything on the menu. Friendly personal service and good heritage history to this place.

Jan de Vries

Best place in Winnipeg if you are looking for Dutch (our German) foods and things

Johanna White

I have frequented this store for years. I used to live in Northwest Ontario and they would ship my “addictions”. Their import selection is only outdone by their baked goods. Oh my, best cakes anywhere. And Christmas baking; don’t even get me started. If you haven’t tried their fresh baking make sure you do. It is so worth the effort. Yum! Oh, the people are nice too.

Jay C

I ordered the whip cream cake. Disappointing! The whip cream is not 100% real dairy. Contains coconut/ palm oils. You would think from a bakery and called "whip cream cakes" it would be real. Also the layer of pudding and strawberry ordered for the middle of the cake, was very thin. I cant tolerate palm oils so I couldnt eat it. ????

Dave M

Desserts in main store are excellent. Good selection of european food items. Have extended hours for restaurant on Thur and Fridays until 730. Food quality then is hit or miss. Last time i was there i ordered fish and chips. Not great. Little greasy and fish batter was pretty gross not sticking to the fish

Dan Brown

A hidden jem. Great service and food.

monique bessems

Excellent food and service

fred mensink

Nice local place attached to a Dutch Bakery that serves some Dutch food as well as Canadian staples.

Lillian Unger

Excellent,i love it there

Aneisha E

Was my first time ordering food from here. It was really yummy, I enjoyed it immensely. Also the customer service was just exceptional. I asked for a couple substitutions and she accomodated me in every way she could and was offering to do more. They went above and beyond. Prices are really good for the amount of food as well. Will definitely be back and already recommended them to a friend

Tyrel Wilgosh

People there were vary nice and helpful to me and my younger brother

Carolyn Voort

One of my favourite stores in Winnipeg. Wonderful cafe with great lunches and delicious bakery. I love browsing the shelves to see what they have. I buy all my Dutch goodies from there!
