The Pennyloaf Bakery

Pennyloaf Bakery has the best sourdough bread I have ever had. It is worth the trip no matter where you live in the city. The cookies are amazing as well, I recommend the chocolate chip. Owner is friendly and outgoing. All around great experience.

I love the freshness of this place! I'm a croissant fan and this place makes amazingly crusty and flakey croissants! They also serve breakfast croissants! The only downsides to this place is that it's open only 5 days of the week. But in some ways it's good because it keeps people craving it!

Pennyloaf is one of my favourite bakeries in the city. They are one of the few places that I have seen with traditional sourdough.

Super-expensive, super-delicious bread and cookies. Glad Pennyloaf is in the neighbourhood. Note that Pennyloaf charges show up on your credit card statement as Pepper James Esquire I, Winnipeg located in a residential area out on Wilkes. It's extremely annoying that Pennyloaf cannot use the business name so that you recognize the charge, and don't report credit card fraud, which causes automatic card suspension.

What's up with Pennyloaf? Twice, in the last month, I've walked there during their normal hours only to see they are closed for the day. In the past couple months there has been very little stock except for one day when everything looked great with lots of choices. And yes, I do go early in the day every visit.

What a great selection of baked goods! Bright and clean shop, friendly and helpful staff and great tasting goods. My personal favourite is blubbery scones with rosemary. Would never think of it is a good combo and probably wouldn’t try if the girls there didn’t recommend it. Thank you! It’s so yummy!

The Pennyloaf offers such an amazing selection of delicious breads and pastries. The crust on their bread is delightfully chewy and the loaf itself is consistent between batches with its light and airy middle. They always have such an amazing choice of both savory and sweet options. My two current choices are the vegetarian pocket and the chai scone. Overall my favorite bakery in the city. Update: The bakery seems to have undergone a change. Both in feel and in quality. The bread is still good but the ambience and the service has gone downhill. The pastries also seem to be more dry and not up to the quality as before. They've launched more products such as: croutons, meats, sandwiches, coffee, etc. This change in products also feels like they're trying to be a little bit of everything rather than excelling at one thing.
