Located just off the main retail street in Comox, Anthony's Copper Kettle is a quiet, rather unassuming bakery with slightly limited counter space that was, at least at that time of day, sparsely stocked with buns/dinner rolls and a few cupcake varieties. Yes, it did feel pretty empty and this was even more true of the sweet selection, which I found to be lacking besides those aforementioned cupcakes. Maybe it's simply one of these bread bakeries?

Nevertheless, one thing they did have were Eccles cakes. And I happen to like Eccles cakes, so I grabbed one. (around $2.75) This was of the flaky, puff pastry variety, similar to an apple turnover. Actually, almost identical to an apple turnover. The dough was airy with a bit of crunch on the outside and was topped with coarse sugar. Inside, the hearty filling had a nice hint of spice, though I think it could have used some more texture. It was a little too mushy for my liking.

Overall, a good classic bakery in the heart of Comox with not enough baked good options.
