On my first trip to Rossland, there was a brand new bakery on the verge of opening. It wasn't open yet, but there was a date and it looked promising. On my second trip through Rossland, there was no sign of the bakery. Did it just happen to be closed and they'd covered all the windows? Did that opening end up taking longer than previously anticipated? Did it never open and the project was scrapped? What on earth happened to the Rossland bakery?!?

In the meantime, I didn't want to turn this into a lost trip and decided to go to The Grind a.k.a. Alpine Grind Coffeehouse, which is a cafe that advertises they have homemade baked goods. While the counter area has plenty of room for their baked goods, including racks that seem to normally house some sort of muffins or scones, they didn't have all that much in terms of selection when I was there.

My options consisted of the lemon or banana loaf, served as a slice. I went with banana. The loaf cake was pretty good; it was soft and moist with a flavour that you'd expect. Nothing overly special or unique about it. Home-style. Personally would have preferred more options.
