About Bliss Bakery
Baking runs on an early clock. Ovens are usually going long before the rest of a neighbourhood is awake, which is why bakeries tend to run out of the popular things by the middle of the day rather than the end of it. Bliss Bakery keeps an address at 1425 Stevens Rd in Lakeview Heights, on the bench above the lake where vineyard slopes meet a scattering of everyday commercial addresses.
What a bakery has ready on a given day is the thing to establish first. Loaves, pastry, cakes and savoury items all sit on different production schedules, and a shop that has bread out in the morning may not have finished the afternoon batch of something else. Special orders are the other question worth raising early. Celebration cakes, large platters and anything needing a particular size or lettering generally want notice measured in days rather than hours, and dietary requests need the same lead time. The number to try is 778 755 5801, and blissbakery.ca is the place to look first.
Timing a visit around west side rhythms helps. Weekend mornings draw people out from the surrounding benches and from Kelowna across the bridge, so a weekday errand is the calmer option by some margin. Holiday weeks are a different matter again, since demand for anything celebratory climbs sharply and orders placed late are the ones that get turned away. If you are collecting something for an event down at Gellatly Bay or at one of the bench wineries, work out the route beforehand, because the drive from Stevens Rd to the shore is short but the parking at the other end is not always simple.
