In one week of travels (almost) across the country, there was actually only one perfect 4-star bakery and that unassuming bakery happened to be The Neighbourhood Bakehouse in Lethbridge.

As the name indicates, this bakery is sandwiched right in the middle of a residential area, a very small plaza popping up almost unexpectedly as you drive past house after house. Inside, this equally small bakery has a whole corner of display cases, fully stocked with delicious glazed doughnuts, baked goods, cinnamon buns and cookies -- and did I mention they have three varieties of apple fritter? Wow! All priced, all labelled, and all looking delicious.

For a mere instant, I was unsure of what to take; I had a few options when, yet again, I spotted it. The poppy seed bun ($1.25). Rolled into a spiral and simply glazed, it looked pretty straightforward. Biting into it was a whole different story. Super fresh, super fluffy, this wasn't any old poppy seed bun, this was a poppy seed doughnut! And it was amazing! *-*
