Pros
One of the biggest advantages of this bakery is that it mills flour on-site using wheat grown in Canada. This freshly milled flour is then used to bake bread. There's an opportunity to work with a variety of flours, including bread flour, Canadian Red Fife, rye, spelt, and einkorn, to create a wide range of breads and pastries. The bakery also uses high-quality ingredients across the board, which results in excellent flavor and taste. Employees enjoy complimentary drinks, sandwiches, breads, and pastries. Tips are shared with the bakers, and after three months of employment, staff are eligible for workplace insurance. As the bakery continues to grow, the future of the business looks promising.
Cons
Since opening, the bakery has gained a strong reputation in Liberty Village, especially for its pastries and sandwiches. As word spread, business has gotten significantly busier. While the number of front-of-house staff and bakers has increased, the daily workload remains quite heavy. Learning new tasks can be exciting, but once the work becomes routine, it can be both physically and mentally exhausting. Bakers typically work on their feet for 10 to 11 hours a day.
