Baker & Cook Dempsey Review: The Loewen Road Bakery, and What It Does Better Than Brunch (2026)
Buy the bread, stay for the setting, temper the brunch expectations
Baker & Cook was started by New Zealand baker and patissier Dean Brettschneider, and the Loewen Road site is the one people mean when they say Dempsey. It works as three things at once: a bakery counter, a sit-down cafe and a small foodstore. The counter is the strongest of the three, and the green low-rise Loewen Road setting does a lot of work that a mall unit could not.
you want proper sourdough or a whole cake to take away, or a family weekend table with space around it.
you are judging it purely as a restaurant, or you want somewhere cheap.

Is Baker worth it? The math
At 4.4 across 1,464 reviews it sits exactly where a busy Dempsey bakery-cafe tends to: liked, not adored. The signal in the reviews is a split between the bakery and the kitchen, with the counter consistently rated above the plates. That is a useful thing to know before booking a table, because it changes what you order rather than whether you go.
What they serve
- Sourdough and artisan breads
- Pastries, cakes and patisserie

Good to know
What diners actually say
The bakery counter carries the reviews. Breads and pastries draw the strongest praise, and the Dempsey setting gets mentioned nearly as often as the food. The kitchen is where opinions split: brunch plates are called fine rather than memorable, and the pricing gets flagged as Dempsey pricing. The practical read is to come for the counter and treat a table as a bonus.
