Grandin Bakery

Popped in to grab some treats while in the area, and was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn’t busy and there were still lots of goodies left.
I’ve tried their pies and have been happy. Flaky shells, delicious fillings and pretty decent prices. I would pass on their cookies since I think there are better ones out there, but that’s because I like my cookies soft and chewy and these lean towards the crunchy, cakier side. Donuts are a good option, as are the vanilla squares.
Service is always friendly. Today they had a couple of young looking teens working out front and they were very pleasant.
I like stopping in if I’m in the area, but it’s not somewhere I go out if my way to get to.

My friend is always raving about this bakery so when I needed a cake for my son’s party I thought I’d give them a try.
There is lots of parking out front bit the parking lot is busy. Staff were super friendly. My son wanted a Terraria themed caked. They had never made one before but we’re happy to give it a try. I gave them free raign with the decorations other then that. The cake was light and fluffy with 3 layers. Unfortunately the icing was wayyyyy to sweet. One kids said he never says no to cake and had to through ¾ of his piece in the garbage.
The cake itself was about $ 40. To feed about 16 – 20 people. I thought the cake looked pretty cool but my picky son said that some of the details were wrong. Whut wah.
We also picked up hamburger buns for a bbq we’re having on Sunday. The buns are super soft and just the right size. I hate buns that are so big you can’t even taste your meat.
Also the donuts are pretty great. Light and fluffy. My favorite is the sugar glazed but if you don’t go early on Saturday you’ll miss out.

Best donuts! My brother picked up a dozen for our road trip. 2 hours in, 5 people, only 3 donuts left.

UPDATE! I figured I should come back and update this once I actually tried the goodies, and the quality of the food has absolutely bumped them up to 5 stars.
I wasn’t a fan of their snickerdoodles… but that’s a matter of personal taste and not their fault.
The sausage rolls were delicious. I had beef and my mom had pork… we were both very happy.
My new favourite thing in the world though… is the mini mocha cake. I almost cried it was so good. My family is now very aware that that is the only cake that I’m interested in having for any occassions haha

Grandin Bakery located across from Target & in same parking lot as Safeway (previously located in Grandin) is a fabulous local bakery!
My kiddos love coming in here and picking out a special cookie or treat! They have a phenomenal array of themed cupcakes if you are looking for a birthday treat and do custom orders as well.
This past summer, I placed a order for 250 top cut buns for a charity Cookoff (as recommended by D’arcy’s Meats) & they were fabulous! They even let me borrow the bingos to transport the 250 buns!
My daughter’s preschool always requested baked treats from Grandin Bakery because they are also a trusted source to do but free baking!
If you haven’t checked then out, you need to stop in!
PS — they are closed on Sundays.

The donuts here are awesome especially when there fresh early in the morning, but the good stuff goes fast so you gotta be here early! The cinnamon cindys are amazing also cant go wrong with just an old school chocolate dipped donut! Ive also tried a few of the danishes before and found them above average.

This bakery is horrible if you don’t like those crummy grocery store cakes made with that gross buttercream. In fact, many grocery stores like Save On have been realizing that people don’t really like those cakes, because they are nothing like homemade and so they’ve been making better cakes and charging more money for them. Grandin Bakery charges lots of money for a little cake– that tastes like those crummy sheet cakes no one ever REALLY wants to eat. My coworkers told me I must have picked a bad item, so I went back and tried some lemon tarts. They were basically shells filled with lemon buttercream frosting. I was yet again disappointed. I’d honestly rather go to a grocery store bakery.

I remember when this bakery actually was in Grandin Mall. Considering the store has been around about as long as I have, it’s no surprise that I’d have such a memory.
Now they’re by the Crown & Tower and still doing rather well. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was to the left there was shelving stocked with imported Dutch foods and treats. Most of the displays were filled with pastries, cookies, cakes and pies. Behind the counter were bread and buns. I checked out some muffins but discovered they contain soy and was rather disappointed. So I looked for sausage rolls. Another disappointment because they didn’t have any, only «veggie» rolls that looked the same but likely contained soy.
