Deer Island Bakery鹿兒島西餅

The best pineapple bun in the world. The bread texture is perfect and the crust is amazing. Not too thick and not too thin.

Extremely sad to hear this amazing family-owned bakery burned down in flames. It was my favorite bakery and nowhere else has the same variety and food quality as they did. I hope the owners know they can count on the Kerrisdale community for any help/donations - would love to see them reopen!

this was my favourite bakery in the city. i hope you can rebuild after the fire, i will gladly donate if help is needed.

the bread here is amazing, tastes like absolute heaven, i'd sell my left kidney for some of it right now.

Was scrambling a bit to look for a birthday cake for my wife. After been out of town and on an Easter Monday. Googled for a cake shop and bakery in the Kerrisdale area. My first choice was Michele Cake Shop but it is closed on Mondays. I am glad I stumbled on to Deer Island Bakery. Good selection of cakes though on the smaller side. The lady there was very helpful and even advised me that there is a savings on cakes all this month. I would not have known this since I didn't see the sign on the front of the store. She offered a free birthday "sign" on the cake and was super careful in putting and the cake in the box. The mango cake was a hit with our family. Will go back again.

The name choice (Deer Island Bakery) is interesting. Honestly, we have visited the place many times, however, only when I took pictures found out what the name was. Point is, the name is irrelevant. This bakery on W51st Ave. in Kerrisdale has been around several years and it continues to attract a steady, and loyal, clientele. The place is relatively small but well organized, with fridges for cakes, and shelves with the different baked goods they offer, among these: cookies, pastries, buns with sweet & savoury fillings, loafs of bread, all fresh! If you like egg tarts, don't miss the opportunity to get some! The flaky cup and mildly sweet egg top an awesome combination! Their prices are pretty decent, and their service is diligent and courteous. Bring your face mask, apply hand sanitizer (provided at point of entry) and enjoy!

2/3 of the bread had mold the next day and the crust area was dry. The roll cake was good. Its cream was sweet and also slightly salty.

Perfect place for birthday gifts, family reunions, snack shopping and a quick breakfast. I purchased this combo for my lovely landlord and she loved it. Ingredients are very natural and real, plus many years of expertise (equipment, craftsmanship) and a variety of products (less sugar, gluten free, non baked etc).
