This bakery is so quaint! The location is perfect because it's right by the hotels, lodges, stores, and restaurants... very convenient. The staff was very helpful in helping me decide on what to order (although I was seriously craving a donut and was sad when I saw that they didn't have any lol). Anywho, the chocolate hazelnut Danish is as good as it sounds.... So fresh, perfect amount of sweetness, and pretty large! Loved every bite. The chocolate hazelnut cookie (see a pattern? Lol) was crunchy but chewy and nicely dense! Big chunks of chocolate.. sooo good. I ordered a plain coffee so they gave me an empty cup and let me choose from the selection they had/ self serve cream and sugar. I would totally return so I can try their raspberry scone and cheesecake. read more

Love this little bakery for early morning muffins and coffee. I'd give the place a 5-star rating but for the lady behind the cash who is often rather cold and unpleasant. read more

Great assortment of baked goods, quick service. We each had a regular coffee which was very reasonably priced. read more

Poor ordering layout and no acknowledgement from staff. Coffee average for flat white. read more

My kids and I walked down here for breakfast this morning and it was so wonderful we grabbed sandwiches to go for lunch later. The baked goods are delicious and the London fogs we ordered were excellent! read more

Holy man is this place popular! Now it might only have been because the weather was weird that weekend and couldn't make up its mind between cold and hot, that everyone was grabbing coffee and pastries but I don't think so. They have a great selection of baked good from savory cheese sticks to sweet lemon bars. We went in around 11:30am on a Saturday and it looked like a hoard of hungry tourist had already been through with a bunch of items being sold out. They had all the ovens going and would have been great to get items as they come out hot and fresh. As it was we all got a drink to go - London Fog and add coconut syrup for the win! One of us had a scone (crumbly in a good way) and the other 2 had a bar. One was lemon cranberry and the other raspberry coconut square, and I am not that into sweet things but hardly had chance to offer everyone a taste before I decimated my square. The line up was a little insane and the guys behind the counter go at a hundred miles to keep up. But absolutely worth the wait in line and I would do it all over again right now for another square. read more

I'm sorry to post a negative review in this time of covid when everything is so much more difficult. However we were disappointed after reading the great reviews. We had a bearclaw and muffin because the cinnamon buns were sold out and two cups of coffee. The pastries were terrible, dry and stale. The coffee was burned and acidic. This place has a good reputation and I hope this was a Monday morning issue. read more

After spending some time in Jasper we were going to drive to Calgary and so we decided to pick up some baked goodies for our car ride. This is possibly one of the most popular bakery in jasper so we were kind of excited. First and foremost we didn't feel that the options were that exciting. We got pizza pretzel, a scone, a butter tart and rum ball. All of them were average , nothing out of the ordinary or exceptional. I guess it might be good for those living in Jasper where there are not many options but for someone coming from a bigger city don't get your hopes to high, It's good but nothing you have not had before. read more

This place seemed to be very popular as every time i pass by in the morning, there is always a line up so i tried it one afternoon. Theres not much pastries/baked goods left since it is already late. I tried the biscotti. I did not like it. Bland and on the soft side. Biscotti is usually a little hard. Coffee is ok. The cashier seemed to be in a bad mood too. She cant understand what i was saying maybe bec of the mask or the loud music or the glass barrier or maybe my enunciation that i had to repeat myself like 3x and you can see from her eyes and hear from her tone that she got irritated. read more

This getting 3/5 is going off fond memories. The bakery has always had good stuff however the last few times we have gone I have not been overly impressed. The cinnamon buns, muffins and breads we bought have been so so. But we do keep going because back in the day this place was amazing! I am hoping next time we go it is back to the 5/5 I remember!!! read more

Everyone MUST try this bakery!! The varieties of the pastries are so many! Definitely coming back for more. read more

I suppose this place can be called the mother ship when compared to its other location The Other Paw, located just two blocks away. Both locations bake their own stuff but I found this one to have a better selection of baked goods behind the counter. Also both locations have tables and chairs, but The Other Paw has a lounge area in the rear for a more relaxed atmosphere. Other than those two things, they're pretty much the same, just two different locations. read more

Very friendly and fast with orders. Delicious cinnamon bun !! (note: we visited during the pandemic and staff were super vigilant with wiping down everything between customers) read more

We ordered latte today What service the cashier was very rude Our latte was so hot I could not drink and very milkly and we could not even taste the exprosso I just throw it way I ask the cashier why was the so so hot that how latte are made I said don't think so I has very expensive Exprosso machine at home While we would not go back on our stay You may be good at bake goods I would say stay with what you are good at leave the latte for latte bars riping poeple off visiting your town read more

We left Jasper really early and found Bear Paw Bakery in our Lonely Planet guide book. Really glad they were open at 6am. This spot is cash only. We had an iced americano (tasted fine). As for pastries, I had the raspberry white chocolate scone. It was crispy on the outside and super moist on the inside. My husband had the cinnamon roll. It would of been nice if it was heated but we saw the microwave and heated it up ourselves. Overall great fresh goods. read more

THIS PLACE! AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHH THIS PLACE Let me tell you about the sinister place, there I was minding my own business while on vacation and this place pops out of no where! Like some drug dealer in a 90's drug PSA cartoon. "Hey buddy want to buy some Peanut butter cookies!" And then next thing I know I am surrounded by delicious baked goods! IM NOT MADE OF STONE! So 70$ later and what I can only call fat kid shame I scurried out of there with enough gluten to give a weaker man a heart attack. Moral of the story: 5 stars, check em out read more

Freshly baked, surprisingly plentiful choices, appealing visual assortment, and unfortunately, a number of healthy options to offer guilt before you ultimately settle on the cinnamon sticky bun read more

It's a little gem in jasper. They have lots of selection. We bought some bakery before our day hike so we could spend all day out and not look for places to eat in the middle of it. I give them four stars because the people who work here are not as welcoming as I expected. Almost feel like all these tourists overwork them? read more

*Caution* If you are looking for a warm flavorful breakfast sandwich the Sunrise Sandwich is not what you are looking for. They come pre-made, cold with an option of warming in the microwave. I can even deal with warming in a microwave but the sandwich itself was a bit like eating bland cafeteria food. read more

What else to say if not that this place is cheap, offers a decent variety of baked goods, everything tastes great and opens early in the morning (which is a plus for outdoor activities)? I would definitely reccomend the place to anyone, obviously if a bakery is your kind of place for breakfast. They also serve 3 different blends of coffee, which gives more options to satisfy different tastes. Sits inside are limited, but most people are ordering to go. read more

By far the best place to get pastries and coffee in town. I just had a regular coffee and it tasted great! My siblings had a Carmel Macchiato and said it was so much better than Starbucks (no surprise there). The ambiance is very cool! There can be long lines in the morning so be prepared to wait..Travelers.. they have free wifi! read more

AMAZING bakery items. Came here twice. Ordered the Bear Paw, Hazelnut croissant, an egg sandwich, a ham and cheese sandwich, and hot chocolate. All were excellent quality, hence the second visit. I would recommend coming early in the morning (at about 9.30 or so) because they run out of bakery items, especially the sandwiches, very fast due to the high demand. If stopping in Jasper, definitely come here and take a look! read more

My husband and I came here to grab coffee and something light to eat in the morning. After reading a few yelp reviews, I was tempted to get a white chocolate raspberry scone. My husband got a 'Meet the Greek', which is a sandwich with spinach and feta. The white chocolate raspberry scone certainly lived up to the hype. The Meet the Greek' was good too! For drinks, we ordered a cappuccino and latte and both hit the spot. My only gripe is, warming up the goodies are self service, which is okay, but there's a line for that on busy days. You order the goodies in one end and the drinks at the other order. Kinda messy with patrons walking all around the coffee shop. If they organized this a little better, the experience will be a lot better. read more

Their lineup of baked goods overwhelms you when you are waiting your turn to order. The wide array of scones, cinnamon buns, sandwiches, breads...then add in the aromas - your stomach begins doing cartwheels in excitement. As your eyes feast on the visual stimulus the glutton inside of you says "BUY IT ALL!!!" Then it's your turn to order. Where do you start?! So much to choose from! Oh boy gotta make this quick there are another 12 hungry giants behind me wanting to order. You feel overwhelmed and your loud stomach doesn't help the situation. You walked in wanting a good breakfast snack, you leave with enough to fuel your entire day. This place is a MUST for any breakfast/snack pitstop. Whether you are staying in Jasper for a day or a week. Breakfast needs to purchased here. But be warned this place gets stupid busy most mornings so be patient in line. The staff do a great job of getting everyone served promptly. If you decide to show up later that day or evening, don't expect to get anything good, they are usually well picked over by that time. read more

Two words - sausage rolls! For an expat Aussie missing home, Canada sure does deliver a good dose of Australian comfort food! My only gripe is the sausage rolls here are served cold and you have to nuke them in the microwave to get them up to eating temperature which then makes the pastry soggy...booooo! Any sausage roll connoisseur can tell you it's all about the flaky pastry!!! Extremely busy little location, I preferred this store to the other paw on the Main Street however it's good to know that this location does not have any wifi options for customers. read more

B reakfast each morning here during my stay in Jasper. E veryone here is so friendly, and the place is ridiculously cute and quaint! A nd the pastries and sandwiches are delicious of course. R eally loved the chai tea latte; best I've ever had. S o wish we had this place back home in Los Angeles :] P retty much never had a wait, maybe because it was February and cold. A nd there was plenty of seating available; we got couches each time! W ould definitely come back... thanks for being part of my vacation, BPB! read more

If it's good enough for Oprah, it's good enough for me! I love this place! It's my absolute favourite stop in Jasper. The white chocolate raspberry scone is heavenly, and I also love their croissants and cinnamon buns!! They make really delicious bread as well, and have a good variety. You can get day olds for discounted prices if you come in the morning. For a beverage, I enjoy their mochas, made with chocolate milk!! They have sandwiches and sausage rolls as well, so if you're going to be out and about site seeing, it's not a bad idea to pick up some snacks for later. I love just sitting up at the counter looking out the window. Gorgeous view. read more

After reading all the great reviews, taste of the food and coffee here was disappointing. Bear Paw bun was mediocre, cheese stick tasted like made by stale cheese, spicy sausage roll was bland, the breakfast sandwich was also bland. Americano was bitter. The sandwiches we packed for our hike: turkey sandwich was again blend, could benefit with a smear of Dijon. The sandwich bread was nothing to write home about. The vegetable sandwich was so boring, my husband got into a bad mood after eating it. Given the lack of choice in the town, especially in early morning hours, we might have still packed food from here, but would have bought less, skipped the coffee and known in advance that these are just to replenish our energy but totally not for the taste buds. Traveling to Jasper from Banff, having such great experience from the Wild Flour bakery, Bear's Paw was not on the same level. Buy from here, but don't expect too much. read more

Love the scones here... Raspberry and white chocolate or blueberry white chocolate... Definitely worth coming for those... Only downside is they're usually sold out when you get back from the mountain. read more

I was attracted by their unique and cute candies, bulky chocolate that shape like bear claws filled with rich roasty Nuts and caramel filling, satisfying and not overly sweet, as the nut balances it well. Recommend those with caschew and pecan, the ones with peanut and cherry are just so so. read more

Great muffins and scones. Chai tea was good. Friendly staff and quick service. I felt like a local!

The Nanaimo bar and the ice maple latte hit the spot. The line was long but moved fast. The white chocolate scone was amazing and melted in my mouth. Kudos the the worker that suggested everything to us. Basically almost bought the entire store. read more

We stopped here our last day and I am glad we did, they had a great variety of parties to choose from, we grabbed a few and our favorites were the sticky cinnamon roll and the raspberry scone. The flat white was okay. We had much better at another top Yelp coffeeplace, but overall a good fine. Super crowded and limited seating so great for grab and go! read more

What a wonderful way to start the day. There's an endless selection of baked goods- we went for a raspberry whites chocolate scones (per yelp suggestions), a chocolate croissant, and a bear paw. I'm still dreaming about the white chocolate scone. It's not that sweet and incredibly flaky- exactly what a scone should be. It was wonderful paired with the coffee. Highly highly recommend for breakfast. read more

Stopped in on our way through Jasper early in the morning for coffee and pastries and devoured the raspberry white chocolate scones so quickly we wished we'd bought a bag full! Everyone raves about the brewed coffee but I didn't think it was that great. Check out the day old bread shelf for some great 50% off options! read more

The bear paws were disappointing. Disappointing because bear paw was in the name. We had the regular bear paw with tasted like cinnamon bread without enough cinnamon and hardly any raisins. We also tried sticky cinnamon bun which was better than the bear paw but still tasted like cinnamon bread missing cinnamon. The white chocolate raspberry scone was the best. Wouldnt recommend anything else at the bakery read more

There's always a line at both locations. You can't fight it, so you might be better off going elsewhere if you're in a hurry. For what it's worth, I find the lineup situation to be more orderly and tolerable at the Connaught Drive location (formally known as The Other Paw Bakery). They offer pretty standard bakery fare, but the standouts for me are the raspberry white chocolate scones, the chili cheese bread, and the sausage rolls. read more

Only 2 gluten free choices. A muffin and a scone I believe. Disappointing but otherwise the gluten stuff were great!! Make sure to find a table or bar area before ordering otherwise you'll be waiting for something to free up with your order in hand. read more

This coffee shop and bakery in Jasper is a nice casual place to hang out. The mocha chino was good as it was not too hot and not too sweet. My sandwich however tasted day old but they had it in with the regular sandwiches. The bread was soggy and veggies were soft. They wrap their sandwiches way too tight so your bread will get mushy even if it is not day old and everything is squished. They have a large assortment of squares and muffins but they are pretty fatty but tasty. The two round tall tables are unstable. We spilled both our coffees. Very annoying!!! For a coffee shop you think they would use some common sense and ensure tables are steady. read more
