MOOSE JAW — Many residents may recall a bistro run by Mike and Nicole Huehn that .
Sadly for its customers, the bistro specializing in homemade baked goods and treats .
It has now been confirmed that The Travelling Bakery will be returning with a temporary pop-up shop in Moose Jaw’s old downtown train station for the duration of .
, which Huehn said was due to a low traffic volume for his requirements and because of seasonal constraints, he resumed a former job as manager of the Long Creek Golf Course restaurant. As the golf course operates seasonally from April to October, he now has the time to resume his former passion with the bakery.
With this in mind, the idea to set up in Moose Jaw was the suggestion of Laurie Hysuick, owner of Mitny Refillery.
“Nicole was getting her hair done at Whisky and Pearls, and I decided to go into (Mitny Refillery) on the other side of the lobby because I’ve never been in there before,” Huehn said. “(Hysuick) recognized me from Buffalo Pound… and said, ‘Why don’t you set up here?’”
Huehn then discussed the suggestion with his fiancé and they both agreed to the idea.
Huehn’s selection will include a rotating selection of both warm meals and homemade baked goods. His meals will include an assortment of soups and chilis, and baked goods will include bread and buns, pies, loaves, apple turnovers, muffins, cookies, and more.
He’ll even have a selection of gluten free products to ensure the bakery includes everyone. The highlight of this menu, he said, is “an oversized, gluten free Reese’s peanut butter cup.”
Once Christmas in October has concluded, Huehn said both he and his fiancé will continue to travel the province and set up the bakery wherever the road takes them until returning to his regular job next spring.
“We’ll be doing what I used to do a couple years ago,” he explained. “My fiancé Nicole and I will be travelling around to different communities every two or three weeks and setting up pop bakeries in those communities for a day. It’s what I used to do before opening up at Buffalo Pound.”
Huehn said he’s happy to be back in business with the bakery for the first time since October 2023. “It’s time (to return),” he announced. “Nicole and I are going to really have fun and enjoy ourselves running The Travelling Bakery.”
The Travelling Bakery will be situated at the old train station at 5 Manitoba Street East and can be found in the front lobby area between Mitny Refillery and Whisky and Pearls Hair Salon & Barbershop.
