BOYCOTTING! RIP Culberts. Sadly I have eaten my last cream puff after a wonderful 50 year run. Sad to see the steady decline of this legendary bakery after the sale to new owners in 2022. The new owners are out-of-touch with what used to make...this small town bakery a not-to-be-missed stop on every trip to Goderich. Every single trip would visit and spend $50 + and often have them delivered by those coming to see us - now I will spend my $50 somewhere else. -Prices are skyrocking -Product not the same high quality - Hours are out of touch. - Sketchy, rude, unfair treatment of a long time employee, breaking labour laws, refusal to provide T4 during a 3 week winter layoff (also so dumb and all about THEM and not their customers or employees) and then firing when questioned them about it. So disappointing.I'll remember the good old days with the original owners who actually cared!More

Awesome cream puffs as always!! A word of advice for those who like me saw the 2018 1 star review. When you go to a foodie place order what they are famous for (do you go to a fish place and expect an amazing steak?...No)! Culbert’s is known for their cream puff donuts, if you must go off script get a freaking donut at least (they seemed popular and looked amazing). Staff is always amazing there and another point when going to food places ask the staff what they like! You will majority of the time love what they suggest. Also, know that Bakeries have ALWAYS had very specific hours, like most are never open Sundays and they are never open late 🙄. Anyway still doing great in Goderich! Great cream puffs!More

An institution! The shop is chock- a-block full of breads, rolls, dessert squares and pastries. Known for their cream-filled donuts which are excellent. Very good coffee too.

I’ve been a customer of Culberts for close to 20 yrs and always enjoyed their goods. Unfortunately it seems with the new management things have changed and sadly not for the better. The shelves looked sparse, no scones, only one type of bread available, cookies...@ .75c were so tiny. I liked the cookies they used to sell but wouldn’t buy these tiny dollops for 75c. The only thing that was like it used to be were the cream puffs though even those the cream was runny. Sad to see it gone down hill.More

We stopped by the bakery as it was recommend by staff at Samuels Hotel. We picked up some bagels, black currant biscuits and butter tarts. Everything was fresh! The biscuits were our favourite! We warmed them in the oven and added lots of butter as...the nice guy at the cash desk recommended.More

There is nothing like a fresh baked donut from Culbert’s. My favorite is the cinnamon raisin. I’ve had cookies, cakes, tarts, bread, rolls, probably some of everything they make and it was all great. It has been a family tradition to get donuts from Culbert’s...every time we come to Goderich for vacation. They must be doing something right, lately, the line has been outside the door on Saturdays.More

Ordered eight dozen cream puffs to take back to Grimsby and London for friends. Picked them up and they were in one big box with no lid. Took the entire back seat of the vehicle. Went back to get boxes and repackaged them ourselves. The...kicker is they were not fresh and we are feeling a little embarrassed after raving about the cream puffs and giving them out only to try one from our box and discover they were not good. $84.00 for the donuts and a huge disappointment. Definitely stale and not good enough for “fresh baked “More

I have been buying here for over forty years. I can appreciate the burden of trying to maintain a heritage business with insufficient staffing but there is no excuse for passing off stale goods at these or any prices. This has happened before as well....The loaf I purchased was fresh but tasteless. The squares that were fresh were quite tasty but others were very dry and crumbly. Prices have increased and pieces are much smaller. I have never liked their tasteless cookies. The counter ladies were trying their best. I hope a new buyer can get this business back on track. This will be my last visit.More

Consistently awesome baked goods. Chocolate butter tarts! Cream puffs! Get there early for best selection. This business is unfortunately for sale. Hopefully whoever buys it will keep up the legacy! There are no tables as it is for take out

It was our first trip to Goderich and we heard about this bakery and wanted to ensure we stopped by. Their donuts and pastries were delicious. Friendly service. The bread we got was amazing just wish there were more varieties. Very happy with their COVID...protocols. We will definitely be back.More

Cream puffs can’t be beat! I wish they had fresh gluten free options though. A box of doughnuts (any kind) are always a party favourite :)

First visit to this iconic bakery in downtown Goderich, in business since 1877. Great variety of baked goods - croissants, turnovers, cookies, tarts, buns, breads, etc. - attractively displayed and priced. A must-visit for the food-conscious, and one you'll return to. Expect to wait at...certain times in the morning.More

Love this bakery, for those giving this bakery a bad review: it’s not their problem you can’t check their media’s on times or call them to see when they open and close if you cannot find a time! Highly recommend coming but the bakery can...be busy and I bet it can be very stressful for the workers!More

Not sure what citiods are giving the poor reviews, but this bakery is extremely busy and often sell out of popular items early in the day. Get here in the morning if you want selections, Why? Because it’s that good that’s why.

Our chocolate cake with buttercream icing was just as good. I recommend you place your order in advance.
