Conveniently located on the road to the ferry (what better way to pass the time waiting than to go get baked goods!), Old World Bakery may or may not be connected to the Nelson bakery with the same name. Nonetheless, I always seem to associate "Old World" with European baking; in the case of long-established bakeries on this side of the Atlantic, it usually turns out to be either Dutch or German, so in a sense, I was expecting something a little more Old World, but it was still what I could all classic Canadian bakery fare; despite this, there was an excellent selection of lots of baked goods and bread: cinnamon buns, brownies, danishes, cookies, etc. etc. All at reasonable prices.

 Looking back at the picture, I was almost confused into thinking this was a butter tart, but ha ha yes, I got a sour cherry pie! Rather, a tart, since it was a single-serving one. This was pretty good with flaky crust, just the right thickness. The filling, with sour cherry preserves, was also good.

All in all, Old World Bakery makes missing or waiting for the ferry not a bad thing at all; on the contrary.... ;D
