— Our story
It started in the late 1960s, when Edith Card began selling fresh homemade bread out of her home kitchen in rural Kingston. Within a few years no one was getting through the weekend without stopping by for sticky buns, a pie, or a loaf.
In 1987, Edith's daughter Norma opened Card's Bakery at the corner of King and Johnson streets in downtown Kingston. The bakery ran there for nearly two decades — until a fire destroyed the building in January 2005.
The third generation reopened on Bagot Street, then moved to the dream location: here on Princess Street. Today, Krista Veryzer decorates the cakes and the family still bakes everything from scratch, the way Edith would have wanted.
Generations of Card family bakers,
baking from scratch since the late 1960s.
"I got pulled in once by the amazing smell, but I keep going back for the sticky buns."
