Bodhi's Artisan Bakery

Rant alert! Went in today to pick up my usual order and was left very disappointed. After having used the till, and touching who knows what else, the worker bagged my food order with his bare hands. . No paper sheet-thingy, just dirty fingers directly on the food. One can assume with that kind of carelessness he likely hadn't washed his hands recently. Perhaps the owner/manager should have a refresher meeting with their staff to go over the most basic of food handling precautions...and then maybe kick the safety up a notch for that pesky thing that's got the world turned upside down- covid-19. I love bodhi's, but until covid is behind us, I'll be avoiding places like this.. what if dude was unknowingly sick while bagging hundreds of orders? I'd hate to bring covid home to my loved ones.. Bottom line- who uses bare hands to bag pastries after running a till?

Welcoming, friendly staff. Great assortment and goods. Wonderful quality and prices. They sell fresh local gardened greens and flowers, plus locally made masks. It a favourite!!💞

We live in the area and frequently walk or bicycle to Bodhi's for coffee and pastries. It is our favourite bakery in Nanaimo, as it is for many of our neighbours. Prices are very reasonable and service is friendly. They have outdoor seating and serve you from a window during the pandemic. They are also at the Bowen Road and Cedar farmers markets.

Love the white sourdough, croissants and muffins. Everything I have tried basically. Good anti-covid setup and friendly service.

I love this bakery so much friendly neighborhood and great treats for all ages would recommend if you are in town it is a MUST VISIT 😁
