Marcman, you don't do this awesome bakery justice. So the rye was sub-par, what about the ROLLS?
What you have to try here is their amazing chocolate/poppy seed rolls, good lord, they have so much filling and the pastry is so flaky, sweet and crunchy. My bf's family goes here every weekend to pick up our pastry puffs (or the much less cute but literal term for them, sigh... rolls), super soft poppy-seed-smothered bagels and bread.
So go on a Sunday morning if you want some baked stuff in Richmond. It's ridiculously cheap, too... rolls are ~1.50, huge, the bread is ~3$. They also sell kosher sausages and... their words, not mine, weiners. Sigh. Some words just will not phase themselves out.
Note: Deleted my Cosmo bakery review because I realized I actually meant this place & in fact, never set foot in Cosmo bakery... Yeah. -

* A Kosher bakery in Richmond?!?!?!?! *
Ok, Richmond was a surprise location for a Kosher bakery. But just had to check it out. After all, they used to say you could identify the Jewish neighbourhoods in NY City by finding the high concentration of Chinese take-out places. So perhaps a neighbourhood with perhaps the highest concentration of Chinese people outside of China would have a wonderful Jewish bakery snuck away in it?
This is a scaled down version of a NY Jewish bakery. They have many of the usual suspects, although a smaller variety.
The dreamer in me decided to try the rye bread. A NY rye would be an amazing find!
While it was decent it wasn't amazing sadly. The crust just wasn't right - it was a bit too soft. It just didn't have the texture you would expect in a NY rye. The inside was good though. But the crust is an important part of bread!
Would I schlep (figured I should put some Yiddish into this review) all the way down to Richmond to visit the bakery? Probably not.
When in Richmond I think I'll stick to bakeries like Kam Do (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) instead!
