Saltwater is the essence of life on the North Coast and symbolizes two of the essential three ingredients in traditional bread making – grain, water, and salt – brought to life by natural fermentation through the skilled hands of the craft baker. Saltwater Bakery’s open concept bakeshop is a perfect place to linger and watch the bakers work their craft while enjoying the tastes and aromas of a fresh new bakery experience.

Meet the Bakers Behind Saltwater Bakery

M

At Saltwater Bakery + Provisions, our heart is in the hands of our bakers—local talent with a deep love for the craft and the community they serve. Rooted in Prince Rupert, our baking team blends creativity, care, and intention into everything they make, using traditional techniques and quality ingredients to bring our shelves to life each day.

Sophie

Born and raised in Prince Rupert, Sophie has been baking for as long as she can remember—experimenting with recipes in her free time and always finding joy in the process. At Saltwater Bakery, she leads the development of our daily and seasonal cookies, and is also the talent behind our beloved Bee Sting cakes and pastries. Outside the bakery, she’s often still in the kitchen, baking just for the love of it.

“I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to do what I love and share it with the community that raised me.”

Tatiana

Tatiana also grew up in Prince Rupert, where time spent baking alongside her French Canadian grandmother and mother sparking a lifelong passion. From classic French pastries to sourdough, cakes, and small-batch loaves, her skills continue to grow with every bake. She currently makes all of our sourdoughs and cakes (except the Bee Sting!) and creates our rotating lineup of feature loaves.

“I’ve always loved baking, and I’m so happy to be part of a team where I get to keep learning and sharing that passion every day.”

Both bakers trained under a European baker with a lifetime of experience, honing their techniques and deepening their understanding of traditional, artisan baking.

Together, Sophie and Tatiana carry forward the bakery’s commitment to thoughtful, handcrafted baking. From rustic sourdoughs and delicate pastries to fresh-from-the-oven cookies, everything they make is a reflection of the artistry and heart behind Saltwater Bakery.

A word from our CEO...

Gitxaała Nation, is also known as ‘Git Lax Moon’ which translates to ‘People of the Saltwater’. We are very thrilled to have the Saltwater Bakery +Provisions opening in Cowbay and feel that it will be complimentary to the businesses in the area, we are very excited to offer an array of baked goods and homemade ice-creams.”
