Best Artisan Bread in Town?

Colleen Brown, musician

“Blush Lane carries this dense, flavourful spelt yeast-free bread made by Breadland Organic Whole Grain Bakery, which I have a weakness for. (It’s also available at Planet Organic.) Plus, it’s in the same building as my yoga studio.”

Don Iveson, City Councillor

“My wife and I like to get Prairie Mill Bread Company loaves, in particular the honey oat, from the downtown farmers’ market. It tastes good, but more importantly our picky three-year-old loves it. Plus, it’s so substantial that (in a pinch) a loaf could repel a home invader.”

“Tree Stone Bakery is within walking distance from my house, so I can burn a few more calories before I tuck into a pillowy soft pain au chocolat. This bakery uses local wheat, rye and organic grains, which they mill on site. I most often purchase whole-grain levain (sourdough) or demi rustic buns (great with soups or stews).”
