Inspection summary

Ashcroft Bakery and Coffee Shop has been inspected 4 times by Interior Health Authority since February 2, 2024. The most recent inspection, on October 5, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

None of the 4 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 8 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pests and Food temperature control.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 5, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 17, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 5, 2026. For example: 3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 5, 2026. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    I heard about this bakery from friends that told me we had to make a stop there. The place did not disappoint had an awesome lunch and Lattes and took home the most amazing cinnamon buns I have ever seen or tasted. This place is incredible and is 5 minutes off the highway well worth the stop. We will be back for sure.

  • Kyra Deakin-Macey

    This is the only place open early in town, everywhere else opens around 11am. LOOK at these cinnamon buns 🤤 They even do breakfast 8:30-10:30, 7 days a week. I’ll be back tomorrow for breakfast.

  • Roberta Nash

    We enjoyed our visit. We bought a lemon and cherry Danish. Both were delicious. 2 peanut butter bars. Not tasted yet. Cream puffs were good. Next time we will order ahead to get cinnamon buns.

    After shopping at Desert Hills, my wife and I decided to checkout the bakery and cafe in town. We were surprised at the selection available. The portion sizes of whatever could be ordered was generous. We sampled the cinnamon bun(which we split in half) and shared a fresh scone. Overall we were not disappointed in what we purchased. This is a definite place to frequent when in Ashcroft.

    Hands down! The best hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Obviously, their baked goods are amazing. If my mother had not seen your fb post about donut day, would have missed this goodness. You folks are doing alright :)

  • Lisa Stewart

    Delightful Gem on a side street in town! Friendly service. Fresh food. Fantastic baked goods. Really cozy atmosphere with a few bar stools at the window for sitting. The rest of the space is packed with goodies and gifts. I really and truly wanted to order one of everything! It is busy busy busy though so if you want certain items you may have to get there earlier in the day! I will definitely return when I am passing through town again!

  • Andrew Williams

    Wow! Fantastic cake!! Very reasonable price too. Everything else looked and smelled delicious as well. I will definitely be back to sample more! The cracks in the icing were not there when I picked the cake up. I have a rough ride on a long driveway.

  • Curtis Wiebe

    We came for the epic cinnamon buns but by 12 noon, they were quickly sold out. And this was a Tuesday! We did pickup some delicious cookies, chicken pot pies and sausage rolls though. Definitely coming back earlier in the day for these cinnamon buns though. The bakery smelled incredible, and it was a busy little place. Come with an appetite! And come early!

    Ashcroft Bakery is seriously amazing. I’ve been enjoying the cinnamon buns and other pastries for years, and when my (now) husband and I decided to get married in Ashcroft it was a no-brainer to ask them to make our wedding cake. We asked …
