Bun King Bakery & Deli

Review #6 of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge 2012
Driven by this bakery too many times to count over the past 3 years. It’s in a small strip mall on Northmount and very possible to miss it if you are not looking. I decided now would be a good time to stop in, check it out and give it a review.
It’s a smallish bakery and the minute you walk through the doors the aroma of baking goodness fills your nasal passage.
Over to the left are some bulk bun bins as well as bread crumbs and fresh bread. In front is the baking counter with some deli meats, beverages and snacks to the left and to the right is the pastries/​treats side with all kinds of yummy goodness begging to be eaten. Over to the far right they have a cooler with additional grocery type items for purchase as well as premade (and rolled out) pizza dough.
I decided to grab some ciabatta buns to go with burgers one night and a couple of goodies (puffed wheat squares, butter tarts, marshmallow type butterscotch treat) for the family to share and since I love to support the locals. They have a nice selection of goodies and I even noticed some home made Christmas loaf in the display case — yum!
The folks working there were friendly and while the selection wasn’t huge there are some great items if you need something quick & fresh on the go. They also sell subs, pizza sticks, pizzas and other lunch type items. Since there is a high school next door this makes perfect sense.
So far everything is tasty and we think this is a great neighbourhood find!
