There was a line out the door when we got to the Bear's Paw. Popular places are often very good places, and Bear's Paw is a very good place. When it was my turn I got their Sticky Bun and Apple Square. There is limited seating inside. Even though it was very busy we scored a few counter seats, which allowed me to enjoy my sticky bun and White Mocha before heading to Maligne Lake. I liked them both, I'd rate them as about average. What I really liked was my Apple Square that I ate hours later. It was crumbly with a lot of apple flavor. Service was efficient and fine. We are glad we stopped in. read more

I went to Jasper back in September. I had to check out this Bakery as I saw a lots of good reviews online, and it was REALLY GREAT! I went there for breakfast at 8am, and the bakery was packed. The place was not so big, but I love the "wood" vibe. Their coffee is really good, very smooth. They had a good variety of pastry. I am a fan of scone so I ordered the spicy scone and the cheese scone. The spicy scone was way too much for me, too spicy I can't finished it. But the cheese scone, I loved it! Definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Jasper. read more

Our experience at Bear's Paw Bakery was overall unfortunately a bit disappointing. We came early in the morning, which was quite busy. The pastries themselves didn't taste particularly fresh or flavorful, and the coffee was a bit bland. I do wish we had a better experience, and hope we just came at an off day, but based on our experience I unfortunately would not return. read more

Almost every time I go to Jasper, I have to go there! I like the decoration and interior design and I like their products! It has happened a couple of times that some items that I bought were a bit dry! But I still like the taste of their pastries! The coffee is ok and not on top of my list! On the weekends and holidays, the place may be a bit more chaotic and busier than usual which I always take as a good sign of good quality! Overall it's a good business and I recommend it! :) read more

Great coffee and bake shop in Jasper. Went here at least twice before we went for our tours and hikes. Even Oprah recommended this place. Really loved the rhubarb squares and lemon cranberry squares. Scones were delicious. Their pizza rolls were good as well. Nice to stop and grab some snack for road-trip back to banff. Great service. Clean. Ample of street parking- (fee at most spots). read more

I ordered a hot decaf mocha with oat milk. Flavor was very weak. I could barely taste the coffee. My husband ordered the maple chai latte with dairy free milk and loved it. He ordered a regular cinnamon bun and enjoyed it. They had a gluten free lemon blueberry muffin. My husband liked it and said it had a good texture and flavor. read more

something's changed at the Bear Paw bakery. Today our sandwiches were tasteless and dry. They were egg salad and a veggie sandwich. The last time we visited the bakery, it was not as good as previous years for sure, very disappointing. read more

My husband and I stopped at Bear Paw Bakery one morning before heading out to do a glacier tour. This place is definitely very popular so I would recommend getting there early, if possible. They did also have an option for ordering ahead, but I do believe it is a limited menu. We decided to each get our morning caffeine fix - I ordered their signature fall flavored latte with oat milk. It was delicious! For a bite to eat, we decided to share a cheese bun, sausage roll, almond croissant, and Bear Paw. The cheese bun and sausage roll were definitely better warmed up and they do have a microwave available for you to use. The almond croissant and the Bear paw were delicious. They have a huge variety of pastries and baked items. We saw a lot of people also ordering some of their sandwiches and breads to-go but we did not try any of those. Definitely worth a stop if you find yourself in downtown Jasper. read more

This bakery always has a line outside the door, and it's with good reason! The service at this cute cafe is always quick and friendly. I have tried both sweet and savoury baked goods, and everything is always fresh and made with quality ingredients. It's a fantastic place to grab breakfast and coffee in the morning before exploring Jasper. read more

Cute spot with a great pastry selection, both savory and sweet. The sausage role was alright, but the standout was this raspberry almond coconut bar that was delicious with a great texture and flavor. read more

I loved everything about this place. Although the line was long it moved fast depending on if the customer in front of you knew what they wanted. So much selection for bakery items. Loved the sausage roll, best we had while in Canada. The bear paw was okay, a little dry. My caramel macchiato was good but not the best I've ever had. Would definitely recommend to go here for their bakery items! Not much seating inside or out, so plan to take everything to go. read more

Friendly staff and great menu. However everything we tried was not good. Bakeries are not fresh, they are dry and not of high quality. I'm surprised by the long queue but that's probably because of their good location and few competitors. The other cafe nearby with better reviews are truly better. read more

We saw high ratings for this bakery online and we were very excited to try. We went on a Monday morning and it was super busy with a line out the door, so I was expecting a lot from their pastries and coffee. My flat white soy latte seemed to have regular dairy milk in it as my stomach was not feeling great even though I ate a lactaid pill. We tried the sausage roll, health bar, white chocolate raspberry scone, crossiant and the blueberry muffin. All of them were mediocre especially for the wait times, the only ones I would recommend getting are the white chocolate raspberry scone and blueberry muffin. However, the scone was a little dense to my liking. There's not too many places to sit if you're thinking about staying to eat. read more

Pricier than even Starbucks. Another big problem they have is that they don't indicate to you what the prices of certain items are (ex. Soup, featured latte, certain baked goods) or if some things are sold out already, so you're stuck waiting in line for 30 minutes and only learning after from the cashier that the item you want is unavailable. Reminder that nearby parking in Jasper is paid parking. read more

Inconsistent bakery items, TERRIBLY slow, inefficient service. It feels like they intentionally serve slooooooooowly to increase the hype here. Line out the door and the one person serving anyone takes minutes in between each customer to move around pastries, refill cookie jars, etc. while the coffee guy isn't doing a thing and the cashier CLEARLY isn't either as noone is ready to ring up. Why not get the cashier to do the moving and refilling when he is just shooting the breeze instead? Bread was fresh as were most of the pastries (not the sticky bun - that one was stale). Bait and switch on the sizes of pastries - apple strudel looked generous but when we got our slice in the bag, it was actually half the size of what was in the case. Would not return. Pastries were fine but nothing special and the wait was ridiculous and totally unnecessary. FIX YOUR SERVICE ISSUES! read more

Great bakery! We went in for breakfast and came out with breakfast and sandwiches for our road trip. All were delicious. The monster cookie was my favorite. Not too sweet. read more

Bear's Paw Bakery has been a favorite local spot of mine for as long as I have visited the town of Jasper. The first time I've been there goes back to 2008, and then later on when I moved to Edmonton and visited Jasper. Usually when I go is to buy a hot beverage, but I have bought pastries as well - fresh pastries are made from scratch at both locations. A pastry with a delicious make a great post ski (or other outdoor activity) treat. The great thing is that you can order cakes for special events. If you fancy sandwiches instead of pastries, Bear's Paw has a full menu of sandwiches available to order on location or in advance!! Definitely a spot to try or return to!! read more

Great food! We had a delicious sandwich and pastries to take with us in our drive to Banff.

Great for breakfast before a full day of skiing! Parking street side if your lucky. Not a lot of room for dine-in. Great options for breakfast for everyone and even baked goods for an afternoon snack. Lots of options. Staff were friendly. Bathroom available. Microwave available to heat any items bought. Little local goodies for sale too - infused olive oil, hats, clothing, trinkets. Our food tasted fresh and delicious. read more

Fairly small bakery / cafe located just off one of Jaspers downtown. The Sticky Buns are to die for! They are excellent! We bought 2 , we should have bought 6! There's a line up in the morning outside the door but don't worry, they've made lots! Likewise if you wait a bit before showing up ( say about 45min after it opens), the crowds have mostly gone. read more

I remember visiting this cute cafe & bakery before the pandemic maybe back in 2017 and I am so happy to return and see it thriving and successful! It seems the interior has changed a lot. It seems there's a lot more open space now. There's a lot of baked items to look at. You may need a moment to look over everything because they all look so good! It's the little coffee / bakery stores such as these that make Jasper so special. It has a certain "mom & pop" feel to it that you won't get at Starbucks or Tim Hortons. If you visit, try to come before 7 AM since they seem to be popular and get crowded. This way you can get a nice seat to enjoy. Also of note: it says that after 7:30 PM it becomes a wine tasting lounge. read more

Bear's Paw was suggested to us by Brian the scenic route (Banff - Jasper) bus driver & he didn't misdirect! This is one of the gold star businesses of Jasper...you can tell it's loved by the locals, hauling out huge stacks of pre-orders. Excellent coffee & don't miss having a Sticky Bun. Lucky us, staying at the Crimson Hotel, it was just up the next block over...so evening tea, morning coffee & afternoon coffee with a sweet treat with each. We ate our way through Jasper read more

If you're up super early and about to leave town for a long drive, stop here first and grab your coffee and a pastry (I recommend the spicy sausage roll to keep you awake). There's a microwave to heat up your morning treats, pour your own coffee from the dispensers. You'll be in and out really fast so you can make it to lunch in the next town (as long as the roads aren't flooded) There aren't many places at 6am around here but this one was worth getting up early for. Enjoy your stay! read more

The stars are for the rhubarb square which was very good, I think a tad bit too much topping but still good. Sadly, the bran muffin was awful and dry. Yes it had healthy ingredients, but it should taste like cardboard. The cinnamon bun was okay, not too sweet but not light and airy like I was hoping for. It doesn't seem like Jasper has many bakery options, hopefully that changes in the future. read more

We stopped in to get some dessert after an early dinner. They were closing shortly after we got there so they were running low on or were out of a lot of things. We split a rhubarb bar and a slice of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. The the rhubarb bar was really good. I would have liked more rhubarb and less topping, but it was still quite good. The cheesecake was a different story. It was the worst cheesecake I've ever had. There was a tiny bit of white chocolate on the end and it was topped with raspberry. The issue was the cheesecake itself. It was hard and dry. It tasted like a block of cream cheese that they got hardened and wasn't mixed with anything else. I might come back for another bar but definitely avoid the cheesecake. read more

Huge variety of baked goods and friendly staff. We were camping at Whistler and went to the location in town two days in a row (even though they advertised that they had a popup at the campground. Loved their coffee too. The only disappointment was the bun on the "Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich". I ended up throwing half away and ate it open faced. read more

This place is a Jasper staple. We always stop here before heading back home from our stay. It the perfect spot to grab a coffee for the road and some delicious baked goods to go with it. My kids love the strawberry Nutella croissant my go to is always the white chocolate scone. But this time I also tried the sticky toffee cinnamon bun and it was amazing!! Highly recommend stopping in this local spot and grabbing yourself some treats. read more

I think this place is overrated, or maybe it is considered good in Jasper. I have bookmarked this place based on the reviews, plus it was also recommended by the staff on VIA Rail. There are two outlets, one which is like opposite the station and the other (this one) a couple of blocks away, but they are very close to each other. The line was pretty long when we were there as people were getting their coffee fix together with their baked goods. The scone was recommended so I had the dill, feta and cheddar scone instead of the sweet version with raspberry and white chocolate. I also bought the sticky cinnamon bun as it looked so tempting. Unfortunately the taste of both were just ok. The scone was crumbly and dry. What I really did not like was the astringent aftertaste. The sticky bun was better but it was very oily. If you have it to go, the paper bag will be soaked through so beware of that. Maybe the other items will be much better. read more

So many good options! The lady serving us was also very passion as we made our selection. They have everything laid out. They have sweet and savory. I couldn't just pick one so I got a Bear Paw without raisins (which is great they offer with our without). I also got a cheese bun. They had sausage patties and many other options which I wish I could tried more! We paid and it was a great price. They also have a microwave if you want to heat anything up. The bear paw was huge! I couldn't even finish it. It was bigger than my hand. The cheese bun was delicious. Lots of cheese and even cheese had melted inside the bun. I definitely recommend! read more

One of the worst experiences that we've had. After the scenic drive from Banff to Jasper, We took a pit stop in the town before heading back. Our friends got the mocha and we asked for the latte for here in a ceramic cup. The staff was very rude. Someone else picked up the mocha and we had to wait longer for the coffee to arrive after notifying them. Our latte came in to go cup. When we inquired, she didn't seem apologetic or offer to change it. The coffee wasn't that great. Expensivr and price for the coffee was definitely not worth it. Would not recommend this place. read more

Love this place! Definitely one of my favorite places in Jasper! I came to Bear's Paw literally every day I was at Jasper. I love pastries and I feel like this place makes delicious pastries at a very reasonable price! I would highly recommend trying the Bear's Paw to try out their specialty, though the sticky bun were even better especially when heated up using the microwave in their store. I also tried their spicy and non-spicy sausage roll and thought the spicy sausage roll tasted really good! The line does get pretty long in the mornings so make sure to account for that if you're just passing by Bear's Paw for a quick morning breakfast before starting your day. They also sell out of stuff in the afternoon so I would recommend coming in the morning if you want to try their popular items. read more

Read several recommendations but wasn't impressed. The coffee was good. We were hoping to get breakfast sandwiches as well, which we did, but they weren't very good. We got them from the deli counter and then self heated them up in the microwave. The best thing was the spinach & feta bread. We enjoyed the Other Paw for sandwiches for lunch another day. read more

While on a motor coach bus tour of the Canadian Rockies, our tour guide leader took us into Jasper for the day, and pointed out Bear"s Paw Bakery and he enthused on the great pastries. We had a few hours in Jasper. Naturally we made a point of coming into the pastry shop #1) the cute name and #2) we're lovers of pastries. Looked into the pastry display case - wasn't sure what I wanted to buy as we just had lunch. We decided on pastries as an afternoon snack. Got two bear paws shaped liked bear paws. Dense and heavy. Also got a crescent shaped pastry chocolate filled with chocolate swirl atop. Around 4pm same day back at our lodge I decided to consume my crescent shaped pastry. More like a dense turnover. Had lots of chocolate filled inside. The chocolate made the pastry. The shell was oily and crumbly. Hubby & daughter didn't eat the bear paws. Decided to save them for the next day. At breakfast the next morning we took the bear paws out of the brown paper bag. Well, the bear paws were hard as a rock and was not edible. Dry, dry, dry. And lacked taste. Not much cinnamon or anything else to speak of. Dunked in coffee. Still didn't help. Just baked flour & water. I have to say I've eaten lots of day old pastries in my time, and none were as bad as these. I'm not sure having the bear paws on the same day purchased would have helped as the bear paws were very tasteless. Sorry. read more
