    I eat a lot of cake. Enough cake to know when I've had great cake. Resumé: * I'm 46. That's 46 cakes that I've eaten right there. * Married... another cake. * Attended a ton of weddings... a ton of cake... * Relatives and in-law birthdays... more cake... * Two kids... 14 more cakes collectively... Starting to get my drift? CAKE Bake Shoppe makes awesome cake and cup cakes. In my opinion (comparing to every cake I've ever eaten) probably the best cake I've ever had, except this cake I once ate during military deployment to Somalia in '92-'93... the cake was actually crap but for the fact that it was something sent from home to this far away land, it was the best cake ever. All kidding aside... here's what I like about CAKE Bake Shoppe. * Variety. There are a lot of flavours and choices. I particularly love the root beer and carrot cakes myself. * The sugar cookies. They don't give me heartburn which is a BIG deal because the sugar cookies from Costco, Superstore or the Sobeys bakery across the street ALWAYS give me heart burn. * Creative cakes. Sure, you can get a standard classic cake, but they do some amazing things with fondant (sp?) that makes a cake look like some kind of wonderful. It's crazy what they can make. I don't plan on getting married again so I'll like never try their wedding cakes unless I get invited to a wedding and they get their cake from CAKE. The owner - Tanya - is a gem with a real sense of humour. Watch her do her magical craft just once and you'll realize the heart, passion and soul that she puts into her work. She's got a great team working with her too. CAKE is the real deal, they make amazing things made out of cake. Try one of those mini cup cakes... I bet you CAN'T have just one.

    Tanya is one of the sweetest and most fun girl ever! If she is behind the counter (she is the owner) when you go in there you are lucky! These cupcakes are amazing! I do admit that I avoid going there as I am trying to lose some weight and these cupcakes taste to good. We order our admin week cupcakes from them, this is the second year and we will keep ordering! mmmmm

    Well, according to Reddit they're the best, so I found out. Went down there from Hidden Valley and…read morepopped in for breakfast on SAT May 30. Took the wife down there for a surprise, she got the plain omelet and I got the bacon and egg on a croissant and a london fog and mocha for drinks and two more croissant to go ....... Easy enough to order, the place was busy, and great service but was it $50 bucks good ..... yes once ! :-) My only real question is who the hell pays $6.50 for one croissant? That was nuts - ok maybe for $10-15 in a sandwich like breakfast but NOT for one croissant. If they were the only game in town and you were Jonesing for one ok but no........ As a test the wife went to Costco the next day and grabbed a pack of theirs and to be honest we got 12 of them for $8.00 bucks or $67 cents each. Yes, the La Boulangerie is larger by 20% or so but $0.68 is a far cry from $6.50 for ONE croissant, now in looking at the neighbourhood and the nice cars driving by I get it - but no sorry not for me! Maybe if you were the French Ambassador to Canada and you grew up eating them you might notice a difference in taste or you're a molecular chemist and KNOW - otherwise they tasted the same.

    Ever since we had kouign amann almost a decade ago in a French patisserie in Quito, Ecuador of all…read moreplaces, my husband has been on the hunt for the best kouign amann wherever we travel. The bad news is, there is no good kouign amann in Seattle or anywhere in the western US (so far, by our calculations). The fantastic news is that there IS stunningly delicious kouign amann in Calgary! I first balked at La Boulangerie because I had bookmarked two other bakeries to try. But I'm so glad we came here. Walking up to the storefront, I took in the quaint outdoor tables and the people enjoying a coffee and brunch. The first language I heard outside was French, which only added to the idea that we were in the right place. It wasn't busy when we walked to the counter at an off hour during the week, but I could see this place being slammed on a nice weekend. Do yourself a favor and take the time to look at all of the treats in the case. I had no idea which one to pick, but I'm so happy I went with the pear marzipan croissant - something I wouldn't easily be able to find at home. The savory breakfast crepes were tasty but could have been enhanced by a sauce on the side - the ingredients inside were a little dry. The Nutella latte was AH-MAZE-ING. Sweet, hazlenutty, but not overpowering. I immediately looked up a recipe for a future attempt to recreate it at home. The standout by far was the kouign amann, which comes in more than one flavor (insert mind blown emoji here). My husband chose a vanilla-filled one. Holy lamination. The layers, the glaze, the crunch. The vanilla cream filling was somehow both fluffy and delicately flavored yet sturdy enough to survive a day in the car. If I could fly back to Calgary every weekend just to buy a single kouign amann from this place, I would. Service was wonderful and we were surprised that that instead of calling our number, the staff walked each component of our order out to us. Highly recommend. Please visit and fulfill all your kouign amann fantasies!

    tucked into calgary's beltline, this little french café feels like it was made for slow mornings…read moreand long catch ups. the kind of place where you instinctively lower your voice, breathe a little deeper, and feel like you've been transported straight to paris (passport not required). so we had a late start to the day, showed up around 1:30 pm on a thursday and practically had the whole place to ourselves. the space is lovely, marble tables, black and white café chairs, it's curated but not fussy. perfect for catching up with a friend, or working solo. the pastry case is a total showstopper: buttery croissants, cookies under glass domes like little museum exhibits, and viennoiseries in flavours like cinnamon kouign amann, chausson aux pommes, beautifully striped croissants with apricot & almond, and saskatoon berry. they also make house made jams to sell in fun flavours like pear & vanilla, strawberry & basil, and mango & lemongrass. we scored the tufted velvet couch in the corner, it was soft, plush, and hands down the best seat in the house. we decided to share the following: mocaccino croissant tasted stale. dense, barely any coffee flavour, and a few scattered chocolate chips. almond croissant had a generous filling of frangipane that tasted too sweet. pear & vanilla croissant was the best of the bunch, it had some layers, slight crisp on the outside, and a subtle, not too sweet filling. caffe latte and matcha were just okay. the space is a whole vibe and worth visiting for the ambiance alone. pastry wise, we were hoping for buttery, flaky goodness with a nice chewy texture and only found a spark of it in one croissant. still, if you're in the neighbourhood, the black sheep's a charming little spot to hang out, maybe just stick to the coffee and the couch.

    Picked up a couple sweets and croissants from here. The croissants are colorful and filled, which…read moreis appreciated from both an aesthetic and taste perspective. There's some seating inside and a couple small tables outside; casual place. Most people seem to get their orders to go.

All of my things were pushed to a different area and left there. I had 2 brand new bags with me and MONICA would not pack my items. She did not even give us plastic bags to put our meat in. When I asked she said no the store does not pack items since covid! That was over 2.5 years ago! She had no mask on & was packing other bags.
