Every time I'm in Salmon Arm, I always feel a little surprised/disappointed that they don't have any classic bakeries. The kind that serve the good old-fashioned stuff - yup, I'm talking about doughnuts! There's no doughnut bakery in Salmon Arm! There's the pie place, the baklava/Mediterranean destination closed its doors and the German bakery is always empty, sold out of whatever sweet stuff they apparently sell (I have yet to encounter more than cookies and chocolate croissants). -_- Having done so many Cake Tours, I finally decided to focus exclusively on bakeries: selected cafes, no independent supermarkets, but as gimmicky as DeMille's is, I had to include it because they've got the good stuff: apple fritters! 

Yes, there are actually more baked goods, all ready to go on either the shelves with the bread or in the fridge. Some items are located in both - but be sure you don't grab the fridge stuff if you can get a hold of the room temperature products! The apple fritters come in packs of two ($3.59/2) and even with the saran wrap over them, they've got great glaze coverage. They're a little crispy, they've got a few chunks of apples, they were fresh (on Saturday). Sure, they don't have a full bakery, but the apple fritters are definitely worth trying!
