I heard from multiple sources that Red's Bakery serves the most mediocre Nanaimo Bars in Nanaimo,…read morebut since we were in the area (and a couple of other places were closed the day we were in town), we decided to walk on over. Red's has a kind of small town bakery feel, with old-fashioned almost eclectic decor, perhaps 60s/70s retro. Unlike some of the other bakeries, they prepackage some of their desserts in plastic, so it's difficult to tell how fresh they are. I suppose Nanaimo Bars keep well in the first place. We ended up trying Nanaimo bars from three different places, with my notes for Red's as below: Nanaimo Bar ($6) - This Nanaimo bar is much taller than the other two, probably around 50% taller than bar 3 and a full double of bar 2. It cuts very smoothly without much flaking off. The crumb base underneath is smooth, indicating that the coconut fibers are well blended to reduce strand length. It's almost like an Oreo base, with heavy Dutch processed cocoa flavor. There should be nuts mixed in, but they are crushed so finely that I can't really tell what nut is used. People on social media complain about the bottom layer, but I actually love it. For the other layers, the top icing is really sweet. It has a heavily roasted chocolate flavor and by far the darkest in color. The middle layer just tastes like standard icing. It's sweet but I think less so than the other bars. (4/5) Interestingly enough, I enjoyed the Nanaimo Bar from Red's more than both other bakeries. I think it's pretty good in quality and while sweet, has the heavy cocoa elements of the cookie base to help balance things out a bit. Washroom - I didn't see any available for customers.

It was super savoury and one of our favourites. Also had the lemon blueberry danish. Again a flaky pastry with sour lemon curd balanced with the blueberries. The sourdough was also tasty. The crust wasn't too thick and the overall flavour was nice. We also were able to get mystery day old bags of pastries and those were still delicious. Honestly these pastries were very reasonably priced for the quality. I hiiiiighly recommend checking them out if you're in the neighbourhood (or even if you're not cause it's worth the trip!). I'll definitely be coming back when I'm in town!

A wee shop, with a wonderful caring woman at it's helm, you'll find a perfect compliment to your day in a cupcake, a parfait, or other sweet treat. Fair Trade coffee, brewed or espresso drinks, make a great accompaniment to all the chocolate. Her Black Forrest is my favourite, it's a rich chocolate with cherry and whipped cream on top, no heavy icing, just a moist delicate cake finished with just the right amount of sweetness. With a rotating display of cupcakes, your best selection is before mid-day. Be sure to try the Nanaimo bar cupcake, a unique spin on an old classic. From Red Velvet to vanilla, seasonal creations like egg nog or pumpkin, she also offers gluten-free and vegan cupcakes. She's proud to be a locally owned business and takes the time to chat with her customers about things beyond "Chocolate or Vanilla?". Do the same, you'll be glad you did

The kids' size was still a generous portion amount, and the ice cream itself was fantastic. However, the Black Currant Macaron was honestly the highlight for me - perfect texture, so delicious! Service was friendly, and they also had multiple non-dairy flavors available. We brought home a pint of the Raspberry-Earl Grey ice cream, which we loved. It was so creamy for non-dairy, and was made with raspberry puree, so the flavor was very strong. Would definitely return to try more!

With so many other places for baked goods and sandwiches in the downtown sechelt area, I'll skip this place in future.
