Review from Punkrockg F.

As this bakery is very close to me I shop here frequently. I appreciate that the breads are made fresh daily. I think I have developed an addiction to the pretzels... especially if you accompany them with good English mustard.
I appreciate that the leftover bits do mold within a few days of not using them. I have bought rye bread from Safeway or other mass market grocery stores and it makes me wonder how much preservatives are in them that after a month in the refrigerator they still look like the day they were bought.
If you appreciate fine artisan breads and specialty items this is the bakery to shop. -
Review from Aditya R.
I've tried this place twice and haven't been particularly impressed by it. So, on one occasion I got a lovely looking rye loaf that I planned to eat for the entire week. Within two days, the loaf was overcome by beautiful colonies of white bacteria. It was completely destroyed. One might question my bread keeping practices but my roommate's loaf of bread was a mere 5 inches away from mine and was spotless and fresh. That may have been a one-off instance. I'm certain that the loaf I bought was freshly baked the day I bought it. Something just went wrong with it.
The other time I got bread from here, it was decent but not even close to how good Empress, Bee Bell or Treestone bakeries. I would prefer to go to them instead. I think I had a bad experience with the bread from here and am a bit soured. I still think that this is a decent bakery but believe there are better options in the vicinity. -

Artistic Bake Shop has been around for 45 years and going strong. Originally started by 2 brothers from Germany,it's still owned by the same family since its inception. It's especially well-known for its rye bread, they make at least 4 varieties. Of the rye bread varieties, Sovital and light rye are quite popular (I asked the lady at the counter). I usually get the multigrain (also popular) and the light rye, which you can get slices or unsliced. And their bavarian-style pretzels are unbeatable. Did I mention their cream puffs, strudel, danishes, shortbread cookies & cakes? Pastry fans will happily indulge. Seasonal pies like apple and pumpkin are also very reasonably priced ($5 or $6). In fact, all of their fresh, in-store made bread & pastries are very good value & won't make your wallet weep. Most bread is between $4-$5 for a decent sized loaf.
Tip: it's open at 7:30am, and sometimes they sell out early. By noon, the selection is limited, but you might stiil find some loaves on the shelf. They close at 3pm on Saturdays. I believe you can also call-in the day before to reserve pies to pick up the next day. If you speak German, you will be at ease speaking it here. Do you like I love this bake shop! It's a 10 minute cycle from my home, so I visit it regularly.
Parking is ample along the side streets. Next to IBON Antiques.
