OUR S T O R Y

SINCE 2002
Old Town Bakery is located in the heart of historic downtown Ladysmith, just a short walk from Ladysmith Marina and the ever-popular Transfer Beach Park. The bakery has been a community hub since its inception in 1932. Originally named City Bakery, it was renamed Alexander's Bakery in the mid-1950s, and in 2002, it was purchased by Kate & Geoff Cram, becoming Old Town Bakery.

Kate and Geoff are passionate about their craft, providing quality, from-scratch baking and utilizing many recipes passed down through generations of their families. In 2005, Old Town Bakery was voted 'Island’s Best Cinnamon Buns – Reader’s Choice' by the Victoria Times Colonist. This accolade significantly increased the demand for their cinnamon buns. They currently feature nine flavors of buns daily and are known to produce upwards of 96 dozen cinnamon buns on Saturday mornings. The bakery also offers a wide variety of breads, cakes, pastries, and deli items.

The entire team at Old Town Bakery takes great pride in being a nourishing staple in Ladysmith, supporting and being supported by the local community.
