🐶 Ralph’s Pawspective
Okay, so apparently I had to wait outside. Something about “health regulations” and “no dogs around the dough.”
I wasn’t thrilled, but the delicious smells wafting out the door nearly had my tail unscrewing itself from excitement.
Hooman walked out with a warm paper bag, and judging by the speed they demolished those goodies,
I’m pretty sure I missed out on something special. Justice for Ralph? I think so.
👤 Human Highlights
Lakes Bakery keeps things simple—and absolutely nails it.
The pies were the star of the show: crisp pastry, hearty fillings, and that comforting, old-school bakery flavour that’s getting harder to find.
It’s unfussy, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a classic bakery stop. If you’re nearby, it’s one of those places you pop into once and instantly add to your “regulars” list.
Pro Tip
Grab a pie to-go and enjoy it with your pup at one of the lakeside picnic spots nearby.
