We love Lax La Hache Bakery. No matter how busy, the staff are always friendly and helpful. Their breads are high quality and flavourful. The pretzels are AMAZING! (Be sure to call and order ahead because the pretzels always sell out fast.) the desserts are always good.

Really great rustic rye bread that I am able to get at Garys sausage house in Kamloops and then I drag it all the way to Vancouver Island by the armful to give to my parents.

If you are German or /Czech/Slovak you should REALLY try this bread. It is like a piece of home. Our girls born I Canada won't even consider local Mass produced bread anymore. Lac La Hache Bakery is ALWAYS FRESH DELIVERED but also packaged/sealed properly and at the right time after baking. It's as important as the bread itself. Get it at Doris Deli Langley or Greco's Surrey

Beautiful bread. Hearty, moist, nice thin slices perfect for a homemade sandwich, made with real ingredients. Got it from Natures Fare in Langley. I had a chance to meet the owners and they are authentic and hard-working people. This is the kind of business I love to support. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to trying more of your products.

Cannot recommend it enough to MAKE SURE you stop in here as you pass through Lac La Hache. I would drive from Vancouver just for the selection of tucked away fresh baked euro goods at this spot. The selection was greater than normal i think this day and was absolutely delighted to dig into my pretzels, and I chose a walnut iced cinnamon bun sort of desert. SO moist, fresh, and not overly sweet. Made a great camping breakfast! Thanks guys!
