ENGLISH BAY BATTER INC.
About English Bay
How we got our name
English Bay is a beautiful beach that is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is west of the downtown peninsula separating the bay from Burrard Inlet. The lively West End neighborhood of Denman St. and Davie St. begin at English Bay, where on both streets you'll find a great variety of restaurants, cafes and shops. In 1983 we were one of the popular retail bakery outlets on Denman street. We have moved from the bakery to manufacturing plants but still kept the name as inspiration for the café that started our journey.
The growth
Our founder, Jack Seguin, created the first cookie recipes that were hand scooped and baked for the retail outlet. The same quality ingredients are found in our unchanged base recipes of today. To meet the North American demand, our gourmet cookies are now made in larger manufacturing facilities with the same attention to superior quality as we did when we started in the small café.
Now English Bay has 6 food plants that employ over 200 people. In Canada we have 2 facilities located in Delta, British Columbia; 3 in Mississauga, Ontario and in the US we have one facility in Columbus, Ohio.
English Bay Batter is available for all distribution channels: Food Service, In-Store Bakeries, Private Label, C-Stores and Club Stores. We offer our own (English Bay Batter) brand, co-manufacturing, Private Label and blending opportunities.
Our Research and Development is on-going, aiming to introduce new and exciting products to complement our delectable bakery lines. We are an aggressive, flexible company dedicated to satisfying customer needs and market demands.
