The menu, and loving local food and community

At the Royal Bay Bakery, we’re a family owned business with a commitment to going local to source as many of our organic product ingredients as possible. The results are fantastically flavourful comfort foods. We specialize in artisan breads, fresh baked savouries and sweets, satisfying lunches, delicious deli options (including great healthy take-away meals you can enjoy at home), fair trade coffee and lattes, and award-winning customer service.

We are actively involved in the Colwood Farmers’ Market, are members of the Island Chefs’ Collaborative, and work hard to support local farmers and a variety of community food initiatives, such as the annual Harvest Supper. Royal Bay Bakery also supports local schools, teams, and groups, with student tours, community fundraisers and more. It’s a legacy of community engagement we’re all very proud of.

The bakers and the makers

The Royal Bay Bakery is the locally-owned and operated energy-efficient and near zero waste business of Gwen Snyder and David Grove. Food is their passion and service their pleasure. Gwen and David have worked hard with a dedicated staff to create a great destination bakery that’s drawing customers from far afield each and every week.

All the Royal Bay products are made from scratch, on the premises. Early rising bakers work steadfastly each morning to begin the service experience found rarely these days. Once products are cooled enough to package, they make their way onto store shelves, often selling while still warm!
