Bodhi’s Artisan Bakery

Thank you for the summer birthday cake! It was outstanding!

Yum yum !! What a lovely little place had the savory pizza delicious! Reminded me of Salt Spring Island :))

I love this place. They also have a little car that has baked goods at the Qualicum market on Saturdays. There shop in Nanaimo is great, all wooden and hipster haha. Real island feel.
There cinnamon buns are to die for, oozing caramel goodness and insanely large, you HAVE to have one. All their breads and stuff like any artisan bakery are wonderful.
Come check this place out if you can.

I was born and raised in the Santa Clara Valley (before it was paved and buried in smog), where San Francisco Sourdough is King. I love sourdough, and have devoted 20 years or more to baking the stuff. There are two places that bake awesome sourdoughs in Nanaimo, and, in my opinion, Bodhi’s is absolutely #1. I like picking up a different loaf every time I visit, having it sliced and then sitting down with a cup of freshly pressed coffee and enjoying the bread on the spot. Chef Clay also produces terrific pastries and sinfully good chocolate deserts. Go! Grab some fresh sourdough and enjoy the best Nanaimo has to offer.

Amazing baked Goods. Coffee will role your socks up and down

A few of my favorite things to do in Nanaimo, other than the free clams and oysters I get to dig up and the rather exhilarating gooey duck hunting, is gorging up baked goods at Bodhi Bakery. Their breads are one of the many reasons I drool at night.
The cost? Be prepared to wake up early to pick up your breads, especially during the weekends. My recommendations: the raisin bread and the cheese bread. (Depending on availability) Yes… the scones, cinnamon buns and practically everything else they make is ridiculously good too, so bring your credit card and be prepared to rack up the bill.
If you have guests over for breakfast, these guys will make you look good, so paying the extra money is worth it.
Bodhi, for this great review, could you open a bakery in Vancouver, B. C for me?
Thanks!
