After 50 years in business, this long-standing, cherished establishment at Hillcrest Mall was to be relocated because the property was slated for redevelopment. The new location that was selected happens to be across the street in a new mixed-used building with a view of Semiahmoo Bay to the south.
The owners planned to retain and re-commission as much of the original equipment that could be re-installed in the new location. This included the main ovens, proofer, storage cooler & freezer, industrial mixers, racks and refrigerated display cases. Also, the top of the original solid maple mixing table was repurposed for the new café tabletops.
Although it was a tight-fit, the new location of the bakery now accommodates a vibrant, 24/7 operation that has expanded its services and delicious range of baked staples and treats.
