True Grain - Cowichan Bay

My co-travel nurses Claire and Danna recommended True Grain Bakery, saying their cinnamon rolls are the best on Vancouver Island — and I completely agree! They’re soft, buttery, and perfectly spiced. The place has such a cozy vibe, and you get to enjoy your coffee and pastries with a beautiful view of the bay. Definitely worth the stop when visiting Cowichan Bay!

Great bakery with something for everyone. They don't accept credit cards so have a debit card or cash on you. They have a small outdoor patio where you can sit and eat. We had a cinnamon bun which was warm and delicious.

True Grain is such a gem! The assortment of pastries is incredible—fresh, tasty, and lots of variety to choose from. The service was wonderful too, super friendly and welcoming. A great spot to stop for a treat!

For sourdough lovers, it’s not just good—it’s exceptional: fresh, flavorful, authentically crafted, and deeply rooted in sustainability and community. From the aroma of crusty loaves emerging from the oven to the generous service and passion behind it, every visit feels intentional and memorable.

Thanks to Bruce who delivered the bread to our door in Comox, all the way from Cowichan Bay. The bread is amazing, organic ingredients, BC flour, only the essential ingredients, at a price you can't beat! Try it, you will love it!

Really nice bakery with great coffee and a few vegan cookie/pastry options. Opens at 8am every day. Nice outdoor patio.

Amazing bakery! So much selection of pastries, breads, cookies, fresh dough, pretzels, too much to list. Individualized service as you are trying to decide. Definitely value for your money. The only bad thing about True Grain is not being able to take it ALL home with me 🤤❤️

This is a wonderful shop with excellent food (baked goods), atmosphere and staff. Lovely bread to take home. All organic with mostly locally sourced ingredients. Ancient grains as well. The staff were really mindful and attentive. A little pricey but well worth it. There is an outdoor porch that you can sit on on a sunny day. They have coffee and tea as well.
