After a bunch of bad Baker Bob's incidents in the past, this place has been much more reliable, and I no longer hesitate to buy a loaf of bread here.

No idea what the problem was in the past with the stale stuff, but it certainly seems to've been fixed now. And, thumbs up on the bread.

We live nearby and visit Baker Bob's pretty much weekly. They have good apple turnovers, cinnamon buns and fresh bread. Also they carry takeout pies and Beking's eggs. I've never had anything moldy or stale - bad luck for kmennie I guess? I'm a Baker Bob's believer for sure!

I pick up fresh baked multigrain bread from Baker Bob's whenever I am in Almonte....it is always a treat! We have also tried many of the cookies and squares and have never been disappointed.

I stopped in to this shop for the first time on Saturday. We picked up several items, bread buns and more! Everything was fantastic! Staff were very friendly too! I had seen Bob the Baker featured on Regional Contact. (TV show)
This bakery was everything I had hoped for and More! Wow!

This was just a bad idea. I should've been cautioned off by the disturbingly large number of baked goods in the store overnight, but I just had to try, and...

What sort of wannabe bakery sells stuff so stale that it's mouldy (!) the next day?

A bag of ho-hum cookies had way too much allspice.

They also sell candies (some token Brit/semi-obscure stuff), ice cream, and a few food fripperies. Ex-BCers will note with interest a wee selection of Murchie's teas...

But that's about it. There was a place where sandwiches were supposed to be; there wasn't a single sandwich, early/mid-afternoon. (Huh?)

Anyway -- go elsewhere in Mississippi Mills for your baked goods; this is more twee tourist trap than bakery. The Pakenham General Store is still the best I've found for Valley bakery goodness.
