Embe Bakery

Lovely fresh baked products. My wife loves their gluten free bread, she thinks it's the best on Salt Spring Island

This bakery was bustling with customers yet the line of mostly locals moved quickly. There were a lot of regulars. One girl loved the “gluten free brownie”. A woman volunteered her family always got the “butter tarts”. But the lady behind the counter said the “Copenhagen” pastry was popular and the “choc dipped peanut butter cookie” too. So I got one of each of those two to try & brought them back to the boat to share. The cookie was soft with a few chopped nuts, just salty enough w/a nice dark chocolate dip. My favorite though, was that pastry! Inside 2” of flaky buttery layers was a surprise of Bavarian cream, a few currents or raisins, almond paste? The whole thing was amazing. I’m going back in the morning to try the apple pie to take home & freeze for later…. and maybe a few “Copenhagens”.
