A refrigerated bakery display case keeps cakes, pastries, cheesecakes and cream-filled desserts cool and fresh while showing them off at their best. Babak Food Equipment offers curved glass, straight glass and countertop bakery cases for bakeries, cafés, coffee shops, patisseries, restaurants and hotels across Vancouver and British Columbia, with models from Cold Zone, Infrico, Hydra Kool and Turbo Air.
Types of refrigerated bakery cases
Curved glass bakery cases
Curved front glass creates an elegant, open display that lets customers see every shelf. It is a favourite for patisseries and cake shops.
Straight glass bakery cases
Square glass gives a sleek, modern look and fits neatly into contemporary café counters and open service lines.
Countertop bakery display cases
Smaller countertop display cases sit on the counter near the till, ideal for single-serve desserts, muffins and impulse sales in coffee shops.
Refrigerated vs. non-refrigerated (dry) cases
Refrigerated cases are needed for cream, custard, cheesecake and fruit-topped items. Bread, cookies and most dry pastries can be shown in a non-refrigerated or ambient case.
How to choose a refrigerated bakery display case

What you sell: cream and custard desserts need refrigeration at about 33–41°F (1–5°C); mixed menus may need both a refrigerated and a dry section.
Size and shelves: count the trays or cakes you want on display. Adjustable glass shelves help fit tall cakes and small pastries in one case.
Humidity and airflow: gentle, even airflow helps keep cakes from drying out and glass from fogging. Ask how the case manages condensation.
Front and rear access: rear sliding doors suit staff service; some models also offer customer-side doors for self-service.
Lighting and presentation: LED lighting shows colour well and adds very little heat. Rotating or mirrored backs can make a small case look fuller.
Location: keep the case away from ovens, direct sun and entry doors, and leave clearance for the condenser to breathe.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature should a refrigerated bakery case be?
Most refrigerated bakery cases run at about 33–41°F (1–5°C), which suits cream, custard and fruit-topped desserts.
Do I need a refrigerated or a non-refrigerated bakery case?
If you sell anything with dairy, cream, custard or fresh fruit, choose refrigerated. Bread, cookies and dry pastries are fine in an ambient case.
How do I stop the glass from fogging?
Keep the case away from heat sources and drafts, keep the doors closed between service and choose a model with good airflow or heated glass where offered.
Can I put a refrigerated bakery case on a countertop?
Yes, countertop models are made for this. They plug in like other small equipment and need a little space around them for ventilation.
