Whitehouse Bakery and Restaurant - Brandon, Manitoba

Our server was very friendly and pleasant. That’s about all the good I can say about this place. I came in for breakfast with a group yesterday. A few of us have allergies, so I had called the restaurant in advance and the man I spoke with on the phone assured ... me they could accommodate our allergies. However, when we came in we were informed by the host (the middle aged woman at the door) that there is a risk of cross contamination, while this is quite common, the way she approached it was not exactly polite. After speaking with the server, we decided to place an order as she was able to reassure us that while not all risk can be eliminated they do take appropriate precautions. However, within minutes of our server leaving our table, the host who had seated us abruptly came up to our table and told us, that she heard we were requesting accommodations and that wouldn’t be happening. We were all taken back by her tone which was quite disrespectful and were confused as to what they were not able to do. Given the whole interaction, we ended up opting to cancel our orders and asked our server to bring our bills. After making this request, the owner came to our table to explain the food prep situation - which again all seemed like it would have been fine. However, mid conversation the middle aged woman/host came back over to the table and proceeded to make rude comments about us. I have never been so uncomfortable or felt so disrespected. I work in a restaurant and I am horrified by what happened here. I immediately asked for the bill again, as we had previously - given we could not leave this situation until we paid. The owner was quiet as this woman spoke incredibly unprofessionally to us. We asked for the bill a third time and finally he said he would take care of it. We were all in shock. To make matters worse on our way out and maybe this was totally by accident, but the host spilt water all over on one of us as we were leaving, and did not apologize or say anything about it, just kept on walking. Honestly, this has been the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I would 10/10 not recommend. Read more

The staff are super sweet and provide a warm atmosphere. Owner took the time to talk to us and made suggestions. My husband is a meat head and I am more vegetarian. The options are fantastic. Enjoyed everything I’ve had. Love that for breakfast you can add single items like ... pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, hemp, flax, fruit you name it! Make your own breakfast in essence. If you are vegetarian the vegetarian sandwich is amazing! I had on whole wheat. Has hummus, avocado, beets, cheese, lettuce, tomato and red onion. The cinnamon buns are super wonderful too! Coffee is tasty. I could go on! Definitely our favourite place to eat in clear lake Read more

Yum yum yum!!!! So much delicious food in this bakery that is a must visit. Their cinnamon buns are so good that photos were not taken!

WOW! Came here with no expectation was simply touring the town saw the establishment was open and said “screw it” Didn’t bother to look online or bat an eye at other direction or decision and went in -Excellent menu with lots to choose from (if you come between 11 and 2 you’ll have ... access to both their lunch and breakfast menus which range immensely) -Not only was the service A tier with constant refills on both coffee and water but our server excelled tremendously in a sold out venue with multiple guests to look after -Large portions that force you to ask for a to-go box! -Gluten free exclusive menu -Unbeatable price for where you are and for what you get! I’ve never wanted to leave an establishment so fast to want to write a review! Pleased to say I’ll be coming back even if it takes me 3 hours from Winnipeg! Read more

I have been going to the White House Bakery since I was a kid, so 50 plus years! I hadn’t been there for 14 years, and wasn’t surprised that it was just as I remembered, maybe not the aesthetics, as there have been some updates, but the food was ... delicious!!! Portions are generous, and prices are fair. As per usual, the cinnamon buns are definitely the highlight! I ordered Eggs Benedict which was fantastic. My son created his own omelette, my husband ordered the Breakfast Combo, and my daughter ordered the Breakfast Wrap, and they were all extremely happy with both the portion size and the taste! Then we shared cinnamon buns for dessert. Totally not needed, but enjoyed so much! If you have time for a leisurely breakfast/brunch/lunch, then I highly recommend you wait for a table. It will be worth it. If you are in a rush, then get in the take out line and grab a cinnamon bun to go. Dining service can be slow, but servers are friendly and very attentive! We can’t wait to go back again next summer! Read more
