New Bakery Does One Thing Very Well

by Dave Davis
(Steveston, BC Canada)

I'm not much of a bread eater, but was saying hello to Nick, of Romania Country Bread, a rustic bakery with pine facade and interior with just one product: Whole wheat, 4 lb loaves of bread. Nick kindly offered me a free loaf, which I took home to try out with some homemade soup and other goodies around the house.

Nick bakes his bread in a wood-fired oven... Yes, wood-fired! Looks like a giant bee hive. Nick sells whole loaves for $10 and half-loaves for $5.

Well, I'm on my second loaf and all I can say is... yummy! I'm really enjoying Nick's bread, and if you like unadulterated bread with some body to it, I think you will, too. Romania Country Bread is on Moncton Street near 2nd Avenue. Can't miss it. Just look for an all natural pine facade and the scent of wood smoke in the air.

Nick... really interesting guy. Good product, worth going out of your way for and evidently people do just this, since whenever I walk by there is a constant parade of people from all over going in and out, including one unnamed billionaire and lots of celebs... but he doesn't care about that, he cares about everyone equally.

I've had the pleasure to sit on one of the barrels in front of the bakery and talk with him. Vancouverites, slow down and make the time to absorb some old-world atmosphere and enjoy his savoir faire, you'll feel better than you did before meeting Nick and his howling dog Mickey Mickey who you'll have to step over to get into the shop. Just look at the dog and loudly command him to "speak" and watch what happens.
