The organic goods that are baked daily in the bakery’s brick oven are offered in many verities. In addition to whole meal bread, you can find Alaskan stone oven bread, ciabatta and baguette and the traditional crumb cake or even a Linzer cake.

The Alpine Bakery is owned by Walter and Silvia Streit since 2016. Having experienced the Yukon as tourists for 15 years, these two had fallen in love with the wonderful landscapes and the capital, Whitehorse. When they heard that Suat Tuzlak, the founder of the organic bakery was retiring, it was clear to them: they simply could not let this opportunity pass by. Here they hoped to fulfill their dream of a life where the preservation of traditions handed down from generation to generation would continue to play a role in the cultivation of food.

Silvia and Walter both come from a small town in Bavaria. In Germany, Silvia worked in several bakeries specializing in organic baked goods, gaining experience in the organic bread and cake industry. Walter worked as an engineer and had been particularly committed to projects on sustainable infrastructure. It was clear for both of them that they could keep this bakery running as an attraction in Whitehorse.Alpine Bakery
