Recently opened in North Las Vegas by a husband and wife team straight out of Ontario Canada, Salted Malted Bakery & Creamery is the sort of place that immediately spoke to the hockey loving Northwest Ohio days of my youth and with a menu running the gamut from locally cured peameal bacon and traditional poutine to dozens of cookies, bars, and fried-to-order donuts a visit on Saturday proved love at first sight...and taste after taste after taste.
Small in size and clearly built-out on a budget inside a stipmall adjacent the Walmart Supercenter across the lot, entrance to Salted Malted presents patrons with a warm atmosphere of whimsical Canadiana and as toys of the Molson Guys sit near condiments including pure Maple Syrup alongside Log Cabin the service, too, speaks of our neighbors to the North - easily some of the friendliest in town.
Far less limited in its breadth of options than in size of the short and narrow space, Salted Malted lives up to its name by offering items both sweet and savory and open daily at 7:30 with items made-as-needed to replenish supplies the possibilities for customization are seemingly endless, one twenty-something witnessed eating a Belgian Waffle topped with Thrifty Ice Cream, Strawberries, and Sprinkles while his mother noshed on a makeshift Cuban Sandwich on a Kaiser Roll with Mustard, Pickle, and Maple sweetened Bacon that more than once elicited a "this is soooo good."
No short distance from home, a forty-five minute roundtrip from Summerlin, it was with a large order that an appraisal of the small shop's goods would take place, and happy to answer questions despite a steady stream of traffic it was eventually in seventeen items that just under $21 was invested, the price almost too good to be true considering the craftsmanship, first bites of a clever premade "donut ball" proving a bit difficult with plastic utensils, but tasty and even better than the sum of its parts when allowed to warm up.
Delaying further dessert until a made-to-order sandwich and fresh cut fries beneath authentic pepper gravy and squeaky curds were presented to the table, it was on a more "American" biscuit that I opted to enjoy a Canadian Sunrise and far outperforming traditional four buck breakfasts the pile of peameal, cheddar, and overeasy egg was as good as anything recalled from anyplace in Toronto, including the stalls of the St. Lawrence Market while the poutine was a no frills classic, exactly like "La Classique" being served at Montreal's La Banquise.
Obviously not leaving without a few more sweets, some consumed on site while others were taken for the road, suffice it to say that options trend far beyond the typical Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies, none of the fourteen selected anything less than delicious with both the golden raisin freckled Butter Tart and rich Nanaimo Bar reminiscent of trips across the border while the muffin-top-like carrot cake and peanut butter with banana Heartbreaker were fluffy rounds of baked goodness, the salt tinged Chipster an equally worthy investment as were the chewy brownie and cream cheese frosted Blue Velvet.
***** Flawed only in offering an inferior product like Thrifty, the ice creams simply not on par with many throughout town, Salted Malted Bakery & Creamery brings true Canadian heritage to North Las Vegas, a destination sort of spot for expatriots as well as snowbirds, but equally welcoming to those unfamiliar or those who simply love to see someone following their heart and doing what they love.
