This is from back in September, but it’s worth revisiting. CBC did a feature where they revealed the recipe for our Paris Brest:
If you are standing in line to order, would you be embarrassed to say “I’d like a Paris Brest, please?” That’s the current theory amongst the staff at Duchess Bakeshop on why no one orders it. “It’s the staff favourite, but almost no one order it” says Giselle Courteau, Duchess co-owner. Despite my countless visits to Duchess, I, too, had never ordered it, but only because it looked like a donut. I was very wrong.
Our deadline for Christmas Eve orders will be Sunday, December 18th. Please visit our facebook page for more information on holiday treats. Here are our holiday hours:
December 24th: 10am-4pm

We are once again searching for experienced baristas. If you love food, coffee & people, we want you to hang out with us. You need to be able to handle an often busy environment with friendliness & hustle. Email a resume, or drop in & ask for Elliot or Garner.
We will be open our regular hours for Remembrance Day. See you soon!
We are open in our new space!! Lots of seating, new goodies and Garnet on bar making tasty coffee. Come down and visit us!
Thank-you to all the familiar faces & usual suspects who stopped in today, it was truly overwhelming to feel the support of so many friends & neighbours!
This is it! We will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to finish up our renovations. We’re so proud of the amazing work Garner and his crew of guys have done. The shop looks more beautiful than we ever imagined. We can’t wait to show off our new space!
We will be closed the Tuesday following Thanksgiving weekend. We wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!
We will be selling pumpkin pies all through the month of October. Be sure to pre-order your Thanksgiving pumpkin pies early!
