Eric the Baker

Eric the Baker is a bakery in Guelph with a name that originated from a phone call at City Hall. The bakery draws inspiration from Eric's family heritage in baking, particularly his grandmother who opened a bakery in Toronto. Eric's uncles also played a role in shaping his passion for real food done right. Eric has opened several places alongside his uncle Roger, including Cinnamon in Elora and La Cuisine in Australia. The bakery aims to bring traditional flavors to Guelph and welcomes feedback and suggestions from customers. They offer a menu with French-inspired items and are open to catering orders. Specialty items like rye, multigrain, whole wheat breads, and gluten-free options are being developed. However, the bakery uses dairy products, pork products, gluten flours, almonds, and walnuts, so those with severe allergies or intolerances are advised to consult with an employee before making a purchase. The bakery is located on Carden Street and offers a beautiful view. They have a wide selection of fresh croissants, breads, and pastries.
