Hazeldean Bakery

Hazeldean Bakery is tucked away in a quiet south side neighbourhood. Located right across from an elementary school and by a diner I’ve never heard of, Red Goose, they seem to be quite well known as people were popping in and out during my visit.
The bakery is run by the sweetest Asian lady. The bakery has an assortment of goodies to take home — a variety of bread, buns, loafs, cookies, cinnamon buns, donuts, etc. She didn’t have any donuts when I dropped by Friday afternoon, which is one of the things they are known for (along with their cinnamon buns). Everything is reasonably priced and made fresh daily. My advice — go early to get the best selection.
— BBQ pork bun ($ 1.75) and coconut bun ($ 1.75) — I was completely surprised to see that Hazeldean sells a couple types of Asian buns! Obviously, I had to try them. I ate the BBQ pork bun right away (she warmed it up in the microwave for 30 seconds — best eaten slightly warm). A little more pricey than Chinatown but it was tasty and they don’t skimp on the meat to bun ratio. Had the coconut bun a few days later and the coconut filling was plentiful.
— Cheese kaiser buns ($ 3.75), — cheese buns bring me back to my days of going to the mall during high school to grab pizza buns. These were fluffy with a nice chewy, cheesy bite. Came in a pack of six which lasted us the whole weekend.
— Ham egg and cheese bun ($ 1.75) — the ham, egg and cheese bun was decent but I ate it cold so it wasn’t as tasty.
— Cocoa puffed wheat squares — the cocoa puff was on the house! Seriously, I’ve never seen anyone throw in a freebie in a looooong time. Plus, it wasn’t just me. She gave a mom with two kids a couple free cookies for the kids to enjoy.
All in all, great bakery to check out if you’re in the Argyll area. I have my fingers crossed for next time that they’ll have some donuts for me to chow down on.

Apple fritters cooked in rancid oil. Couldn’t even eat them. Sausage Rolls were delicious.

Doughnuts… they were goooood! Picked them up from their Terwillegar Town location that they call Lucy’s Sweets. Grabbed an apple fritter and took a tiny bite (haha) so far so good. Dot judge me by my photo… hubby attacked the box before I could snap a photo. Sticky buns looked too sweet for me, but my daughter liked them ;)

Now how can you not be a fan of the most adorable woman that is as sweet as the treats that she bakes?! With what are probably the best cinnamon buns in the city (ya, you heard me!). Cinnamon-​bun bread loaf — use for French Toast and you will think you have died and gone to brunch heaven! And my other love, raspberry filled doughnughts! Yum!

Oh, I have never imagined how lucky we are to have this bakery right in our neighbourhood! The aroma of freshly baked goods when we walked in! We were in line and noticed a customer in front of us picking up a box of freshly baked doughnuts. We’ve tried her cinnamon buns — delicious and gooey! (We warm them up in the microwave and it stays well for up to 3 days; just make sure you have a mug of water in the microwave when doing so to maintain moisture)
So, we had to try the baker’s doughnuts. We got the cinnamon one as well as the apple fritter. YUM! It’s far better than Krispy Kreme. I’m never going to Tim Horton’s for doughnuts ever again.
Cheese bread is delicious! It makes awesome sandwiches and is great by itself. There are delectable cupcakes on her display.
This business is cash only.

This is a little gem, wonderful family run joint that sticks to the basics.

The cinnamon buns are the best when they are super fresh, otherwise they can get dry quickly.
Open Monday — Saturday, and you can order a head. Great prices.
