You can by whole... more

German Rye Bread
October 10, 2013

I visit the bakery frequently for their great varieties of German rye bread. It is consistently excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Occasionally I also have some of their pastries which are also excellent and of course fresh.
Full marks for quality.

The best croissants...ever
August 12, 2013

Columbia Bakery is open by 730 and I usually stop on my way yo work to ensure that I am able to purchase their freshly-baked croissants and other items. Sometimes I pick up one of their excellent sandwiches and salad for my lunch. They are also +++ community-focused, supporting various community events with their wonderful baked goods.

Always busy
April 23, 2013

The bakery is operated by dedicated owners. Typical German fare with plenty of high quality traditional bread products as well as pastries etc. A popular place for lunch with soup and sandwiches at reasonable prices. Food is ready and fresh served cafeteria style (order., pay and find a seat with you food in hand) so Columbia Bakery is great if... more

Great European bakery and cafe - reasonable prices
January 22, 2013

If you are looking for a good authentic no-frills European bakery/cafe the Columbia Bakery is the perfect spot. From Bavarian pretzels to rye bread that weighs a ton, or for a coffee and piece of cake this is the perfect spot to stop.
Columbia also carries a selection of European sweets, preserves, meats, and baking supplies.

You may want to sit in the coffee area and sip on a perfect coffee and also try a freshly baked donut or any other baked goods and then take home a variety of home made style breads from a large variety to choose from such as french loaf,old fashion rye,sour dough plus many others. I know you will be... more

October 13, 2012

I was expecting something really good due to the fact that it was a bakery and everything was freshly made. Someone ahead of me ordered a sandwich and they said they were out of whole wheat bread so he couldn't have it on his sand. There was bread for sale all around us.

Rude many times. Awful staff
August 14, 2012

The last good review was from March 25th 2011 for this bakery. There is a good reason for that. As the last review stated, the staff there is rude and condescending. I have gone there many times in the past year because I really love there pretzels. They have a good selection of sweets and breads and it would be... more

Get here early!
August 03, 2008

Possibly the best bakery in Nanaimo. The owners are helpful and friendly. The line ups are quick but unavoidable. Glazed doughnuts like you remember them. Dinner Rolls, Crusty buns, Italian Loaf. Rye Breads in three different weights (light, medium, heavy). A very small sit down area where you can purchase something and if you want it warmed, pop it in the microwave. Coffee has allways been... more
