One of our adult sons was in town and I suggested to my wife that we check out Country Crumbs Bakery & Cafe for a late lunch. It’s downtown and we all really enjoyed our lunch and we were very impressed with the excellent quality and price of its baking. I had taken my aunt and uncle here in the summer, when they were visiting and we sat outside at a table and had a lovely lunch as well. I had their peanut butter Nanaimo bar in the summer and it was so good that I have been pining for it ever since. Luckily for me, it must be a regular treat that they make, as they had a few there to buy when I visited again. I loved it so much, that I bought the last one to take home. I make peanut butter Nanaimo bars at for Christmas and these are even better than mine! A bakery is as good as their Nanaimo bars, as far as I am concerned and these are killer! We all had sandwiches: two turkey and cheese and an egg sandwich. They were all on wonderful, crispy, flavourful cheese croissants and they were delicious. I also had a sausage roll, which was hot and it was great too. We all had different hot drinks as well, and they were all tasty. Country Crumbs is a smaller bakery, with limited seating, and some extra outdoor seating in the summer. They make homemade soups as well, which they sell frozen here and at some local markets, but it is not available on the weekends. The soups and sandwiches do sell out quickly, so be sure to hit them up early. They sell lovely looking day old bread and baking on shelves and you can’t beat the price. All in all, a killer local bakery with excellent baked goods, soup and sandwiches in downtown Medicine Hat. They also have cakes in their freezer and you can special order them as well. We will definitely be back!

We got our gender reveal cake done by them and it was the best decision ever that me and my husband made. Owned himself baked and decorated the customised cake for us as I wanted that to be exact as shown in the picture. He made it exactly like that and was super cooperative and sweet with us throughout. My pregnancy moods must have bursted if the cake wouldn’t have come out the way I wanted, my entire gender reveal party depended on how that cake would look and it was the best thing in my gender reveal party. Looking forward to get more and more customised cakes from you guys. Thank you so much.

My brother and I went for a morning walk to the downtown core of the city to have a coffee. This happened to be the only coffee shop open...go figure aren't coffee shops usually open early, apparently not. Unfortunately their coffee machine for cappuccinos was not working so we opted for what was available and shared a cinnamon bun. Nice. Would have been better with a stronger coffee as regular brew lacked gusto but still ok. Lots of people coming and going so very popular. Well done. Apparently the premiers sister ordered cakes here the other day, does that make it a celebrity spot? A good place just the same. Knocked marks for not having cappuccino machine working though.

I picked up a couple cinnamon maple croissants to take home for my wife and I, and when we got into them for dessert that night we were absolutely astounded by how good they were! We've had small bakery stuff before and love it but these were next level! They clearly did this delicacy justice with liberal amounts of butter as you're supposed to! Prices are high, but you aren't getting grocery store bakery quality either!

Loved this café! It has a great atmosphere and the food really impressed me. The pepperoni and pineapple pizza bagel was amazing, the donuts were fresh and tasty, and the cookie hit the spot. Staff were friendly and gave solid recommendations. Highly recommend—definitely coming back!

We had ordered donuts for a school event which was the first time I had heard about this little place. The donuts were so good that I wanted to visit to try other goodies. Stopped in for lunch, had pizza buns, some desserts and a coffee. We were even given a free cupcake to try, which was delicious. Service was great and there were places to sit, eat or just enjoy your coffee both inside and out. Highly recommend.
