Main Bread & Butter Company in Steinbach

I visited Main Bread and Butter on December 13, 2024. The store presents a festive atmosphere, with well-stocked foods from countries like the Netherlands, Germany, and of course, some good home cooked Mennonite food made right on site. Grab your German Stollen or some Honey Waffles from Holland, as well as a hot homemade Somma Borscht or Chicken Noodle soup. Other pre-made meals are available as well. This store is bustling this Christmas season with many folks from the community and beyond. Youre sure to meet someone that you know. Thanks, Main Bread and Butter! Merry Christmas to all, Frohe Weinachten!

Amazing food! Great people! Theyre soups (chicken noodle everytime) and sandwiches are tasty and fresh! Often very busy place at lunchtime.

Friendly, courteous staff and management. Never disappointed with the food.

Amazing soup! The kind of soup you re still thinking about the next day. The kind of soup that you say I need to bring so and so here for this soup

Excellent store.Lots of interesting things to choose from. Parking: Lots of free parking. Kid-friendliness: Friendly family place.

Make plenty of purchases in the store. The things sold here are very good. Unfortunately, we also had a bad experience; we were billed incorrectly twice at the checkout. This is how you open the checkout and check receipts.

Great place to eat and shop!

My daughter found hair in her soup and I had hair on the side of my bowl. Very dark and short. I think making excuses isnt right. Doing it right: Replace the bowls without taking a CSI approach. Not everyone does crappy things in a restaurant. Complimentary dessert for two would have been a better idea. Staff was checking to see if it was our hair. Mine mixed blondes, Daughters hair was caught back. The hair color in food is a very dark hair color. The grocery area is huge. It could use a bigger dining area. Pretty cramped. Busy place indicates good food. The soup without hair was delicious.

Great local foods, fresh and even a seating area to have delicious soup and sandwich or treats.

My family really enjoyed our visit.

Love the food, friendly staff, could use a second till. Last time I was there I had to return my food after waiting 10+ minutes in line to pay.

I am disabled, use a cane and wheelchair. Second time here. First time, one male (owner?) followed me around wherever I went in store. I brushed it off as maybe they hadnt seen me there before, so I brushed it off, (even though it made me feel very uncomfortable). I went in Monday again, and a second male followed me around AGAIN! No matter which aisle I was shopping in, he had his hands on his hips, and was STARING!! My caregiver was with me as well. I politely asked him why he was following me, told him how uncomfortable I felt.....I also felt shame and embarrassment, publicly humiliated!! He said Well, we have lots of theft in the store, so.... No other customers were being followed on either occassion, only me!! I was polite, Ive never stolen anything in my life! I was shamed by your stalking behavior, for no reason!! Other customers also began to wonder what was going on, and also looked....I wanted to to just leave, but really needed the $70.00 in items for a meal. After paying for my items, I cried my eyes out when I got outside the store! Why would you think that you have the right to treat me with so much disrespect???? Because Im disabled, this gives you the right to treat me like a thief?? A friend happened to be having lunch inside, and seen this. She called me today to ask what that was all about? I am beyond angry today...You have negatively affected this friendship by your horrid actions, as well as slandered my good reputation!! Steinbach is a small community. Shame on these 2 males!

We found this to be a very unique store. They have a lot of very interesting items that I would like to try. I will be back for a second visit.

I spent all afternoon here talking with friends. Theyre sandwiches are great with fresh bread and a great selection of meats. The store has a good selection of unique items that arent too pricey.

Main Bread and Butter has been the go to place for fresh food, amazing soups and sandwiches. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere with that old country store feel. They provide great locally produced products that can t be bought anywhere else. Love the place!

Amazing place with great lunches and a awesome store to buy some homemade and imported food. Love it

Beautiful and quaint. Excellent service. Almost like youre visiting a family member. Good was very well prepared.

Great sandwiches, very cool grocery with a variety of independent products.

The sandwiches are great, they don t skimp out. Also had the chicken noodle soup and bacon corn chowder. Soups tasted great, only complaint was the chowder could have been hotter.

Randy runs a tight ship! Soups & sandwiches are great and the service is too!

Fresh New Bothwell cheese today! Went for cottage cheese perogies.

Food is really good, just a little pricy for what you are getting.

Good food

Wonderful local products. Excellent staff and management!

The only thing that was slightly wrong is it took a bit to get my ham sandwich but it was well worth the wait. Best ham sandwich and chicken noodle soup around!!

Usually a nice experience, but if your pin pad is down, maybe tell your staff to put some sort of indication on the door? Maybe A nice little paper sign saying Cash only or even tell people as they come in? Would be real nice.

They have great variety of local products. And very clean and nice decor. A great place to support local products and businesses.

Forcing FASD (14 yr old girl) employees to wear 2 masks, and berating them about vax status demonstrates the lack of integrity of this business, and its owners

I have not and will not go to this establishment. I think it is disgusting that you have forced a mentally challenged employee, first of all to segregate and then pushed her to a point she felt she needed to resign. All because she could not wear a K95 mask. Disgusting. I will gladly remove this if you find some humanity in you. Apologize and reinstate her.

We have eaten here for years. Overall excellence. Great food. Very clean and unique place. We love it.

Coffee was good, and a store/ coffee house I general crave to visit. But the lack of covid control had me nervous. Shame on them, shame.

Excellent B and B sandwich.

Amazing soups and sandwiches, never been disappointed with the food. Just wish that the dine in seating area wasnt so crowded.

Always fresh products. Convenient location.

Love finding local treats here!

Best soup and sandwiches in town! We ve also tried many of their prepared dinners and they re always excellent.

Love, love, love this store. Everyone who works there is so friendly and excellent at their job. I am so happy they carry Tenderloin Meats kielbassa, and Elmans pickles. They have very reasonable prices on deli meat. They carry some really cool little items that you dont find at the big box stores. I will really miss this place when we leave the area.

Great food, little more than i would like to pay for a regular old sandwich, but i keep going back

Yummy soup

Loved every minute..browsing the amazing bread and other treats! First time there! I had a full cart! Staff are wonderful! Xo

Lovely boutique grocer and bistro. The best breakfast sandwiches in town, and the most affordable (excluding fast food). Also great lunch options. But make sure you bring cash if you want to leave a tip, as their machine does not give you the option.

Love the store because they carry Local Foods

Nice little in town grocery, for when you need a few things and want a more homey feel

A fantastic shop. Many unique items and local products. You must try the chicken noodle soup.

Amazing food and friendly atmosphere.

Sandwich was flavorless and basic. Could make the same thing at home.

Come here once in awhile to buy chicken noodle soup. Never doing that again. Daughter almost swallowed a very long sharp bone. How do you miss that when de-boning a chicken?

Almost certainly the best sandwiches you can buy in Steinbach. Enough options and customizability, great tasting ingredients with really good texture and dryness/juiciness balance. Staff that is patient and helpful, and a neat little atmosphere inside with the option of outdoor seating when the weather allows. Would recommend.

Yes, it was just a roast beef sandwich. I will say, it was the best tasting sandwich I have ever had. Thank you to whom ever made it. It brightened my day.

Has lots to choose from.

Fantastic
