The Village Bakery

We again welcome guest commentator David Staat who will offer some insights into a few of our favorite food stops in Alaska...

Village Bakery, Haines Junction, Yukon

One of our favorite stops coming from or going to Haines, Alaska, is the Village Bakery in Haines Junction, Yukon.  Haines Junction is at the intersection of the Alaska Highway and the Haines Highway. 

The Village Bakery is a small, local establishment, specializing in fresh, homemade, bakes goods. In addition to the cinnamon sticky buns, bear claws, fruit torts, muffins, cakes, turnovers, and cookies (I take copious notes at these places), they also make sandwiches, fresh baked bred, soups, and quiches.

Their herb, cheese and jalapeño bread is outstanding...we bought two loaves...of course, the bread was for the friends we were meeting in Whitehorse. 

They also have a coffee bar with four featured coffees to go with all the goodies. The building is rather quaint, with a wood exterior, built among the aspen,  and a large porch area. There is limited seating indoor but lots outside to enjoy the natural surroundings. It is a great place to stop, stretch you legs, rest, have a fine lunch, and reflect on your trip through some of the most beautiful country in Canada. 

We rate Village Bakery a five star.
