Georgetown Bakery - St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

My husband is a chef. We make our own bread all of the time. Periodically, we run low and have to buy a loaf, to use until we get a chance to bake. Because we make all of our baked products at home, we often find bakery bread (although better ... than supermarket bread), overpriced and either too dense or too fluffy with an unusually thick and tough crust. As a result, I have never given a bakery a rating of more than three stars. The Georgetown Bakery is certainly an exception. I have given them a well earned 5 stars! The bread is balanced and delicious. The Sesame Seed Bagels are so far superior to any that are offered by ANY other bakery. These bagels are on par with the best bagels that I have had in Montreal, and superior to most of the bagels that Montreal has to offer. We have lived in St. John's for 8 years now, and just had my first visit to Georgetown Bakery yesterday. It will certainly not be my last (the first time that I can honestly say that about any other bakery in town). Many thanks for the fantastic product! Read more

Great authentic baked products. Electronic payments? The cat sitting on the floor is maybe an authentic touch that could be reconsidered. Overall for bagels and bread cannot be beaten.

How many times can you say, "That's the best bread I've ever tasted!" Old-world simplicity. Focus on quality. Baked with love. And you're guaranteed a good yarn in the Saturday morning lineup.

Everything about this bakery is simply AMAZING! I get hot fresh breads and bagels from them all the time and they’re the best.

Freshly baked bread and pastries are what you’ll find at this cute little bakery. I love their flakey chocolatines. Their dark rye loaf is dense and delicious. Not pictured but we’ve also tried their sesame bagel, poppyseed bagel and small round dinner buns. Bagels are good but nothing compared to ... MTL style bagels you can get in QC & ON… the dinner buns are yummy though! Read more
