I was only able to try the almond croissant and it was probably the best I have ever hard. The perfect flaky pastry, a delicious almond filling and a really perfect bite. I aim to keep returning and trying everything on the menu.

Visited Bench Bakehousr in early November 2025 to grab some bakery items to-go including: Chocolate Chip Cookie, Gingersnap Cookie, Bread Pudding, Chicken Turnover, and a Chocolate Almond Croissant. Everything was good. Especially liked the chocolate chip cookie. The bread pudding was very moist.

Butter croissant absolutely delicious, the perfect crisp and flake on the outside with a buttery inside. As a self proclaimed croissant connoisseur I highly recommend

We first came across The Bench Bakehouse at a farmers market a few years ago, and now we visit their Commercial Drive location every now and then. Their kouign amann is a must-try, caramelized on top and soft and flaky inside. We also really like their baguettes, brioche buns, their croissants and pretty much everything they make. They serve coffee from Honest to Pete, and they offer frozen items you can bake at home, which is super convenient. Always a great stop.

My friend and I were strolling along Commercial Drive when we decided to take a break and stumbled upon the perfect little pastry shop. Tucked away in a small mall, this hidden gem immediately caught our attention. My friend was especially thrilled to discover such a cozy spot. The shop itself is quite small, with only two or three seats available, so it’s not the most comfortable place to linger. However, the pastries looked incredibly fresh and inviting. We ordered the double-baked almond croissant, the chocolate orange morning bun and a shot of espresso. Every bite was delightful—the pastries were perfectly crisp, with just the right level of sweetness. The coffee complemented the treats beautifully, making the experience even better. Both my friend and I were thoroughly impressed and so glad we found this charming little spot. Truly a hidden gem worth discovering!
