A Thunder Bay Persian, still made by hand.
The neighbourhood bakery that Thunder Bay people mention first when you ask what to try.
The Persian — a soft, cinnamony pastry with a pink glaze — is a Thunder Bay thing, and The Persian Man is where a lot of people go for it. Ask anyone in town and this shop comes up before the bakery or restaurant suggestions.
Travellers passing through make a point to stop: in reviews, people tell stories of buying two dozen Persians to bring home to Toronto, and of the staff being kind enough to wait past closing for a customer who was minutes away.
Besides the classic, the shop rotates fruit flavours and keeps a case of baked goods plus fresh chicken wraps. It’s a small, unassuming spot on Balmoral Street that has earned a very loyal following.
