With an ever changing selection of home baked treats and savory items, Davie Village Bakery is a go-to spot you can feel good about.
Giant Croissants are a Viral Monster Hit
With Instagram going wild over Davie Village Bakery’s Giant Croissants, we thought we’d stop in to see for ourselves what was causing a stir. We spoke with Front End Manager Juanchi Towanda, and asked about the bakery’s widespread, viral success story. “We were the first bakery to offer super-sized croissants in a variety of flavours, like Nutella, raspberry, vanilla, and mango. We change our flavours all the time, so our customers are always surprised by new, delicious temptations. In fact, some of our best ideas for new flavours come straight from our customers’ suggestions,” Towanda explained.
Coffee, Savory Pita, and Gelato Deliciousness
Towanda went on to describe the bakery’s rotating selection of top quality, delectable baked goods, including donuts, cookies, cakes, holiday treats, even crepes and savory pita bread. “We keep our ear to the ground and find out what’s popular in Paris and key European bakery markets. Then, we try out the same pastries and flavours, with our unique Vancouver twists baked in.” “We’re proud of our community participation. We support local food banks and university programs with gifted baked goods. We offer corporate and large-party catering, as well as wholesale-order pricing, especially for our proprietary gelato flavours. We’re known across the Lower Mainland for our gelato — pistachio, Kinder, salted caramel, and Ferrero Roche are some favourites. It’s so much fun to see the excitement when a child picks up one of our Giant Donuts for their birthday cake. We even run prize contests for the local Vancouver arts community — our pastry boxes feature their winning designs,” Towanda told us.
