Brazen Poppy Bakery

Our story

Mornings, lunch & take-aways

Our bakers start early each day so the soups, sandwiches and baked goods are as fresh as possible by the time you walk in.

Nothing but fresh for our customers.

At the Brazen Poppy Bakery Café in Parksville, the warm smell of baking will make your mouth water before you're through the door. We kick-start your morning with skillet breakfasts, breakfast sandwiches, warm muffins, scones, cinnamon buns, poppy seed buns and more — plus a fresh cup of coffee, a cappuccino, latte, tea or hot chocolate.

Lunch carries on the fresh theme: homemade soups, and sandwiches on bread baked on site with meats roasted in-house by our butcher/baker. We also offer tacos and burgers — a lunch that's sure to put a smile on your face.

Anytime is coffee or tea time with one of our treats. Most of our soups are gluten-free, and our sandwiches can be made gluten-free too.
