The pastry place is located in a good location. In midtown of Calgary. It is in the basement and I can see people not noticing this place existed. I found this place through Yelp and I am a big fan of pastries and desserts. To sum up, yes I have a sweet tooth. The presentation of their cakes (round, that can serve several people, 6' inch) are very ordinary. It looks like the cake that you get from any any grocery stores. It just doesn't look special. Not picture worthy. So now going to the single serving cakes. They have a good number of selections. When I came there were many selections left. I ended up going with the Diablo Torte. The presentation looks a lot nicer. If you put the single serving cake and the round 6 inches cake together, you would have no idea they are from the same bakery. I came really late in the day (around 5:30). I noticed that they were wrapping the cakes in saran wraps. I guess there is no guarantee that the cakes are made fresh on the day. So going back to the Diablo Torte. It was flourless and at first my concern was it being very dense. It wasn't dense but at the same time, it was not fluffy either. The cake wasn't super fresh. The cake kind of crumbled as I poke my fork into it. The chocolate on the top cracked (not a major concern for me). The chocolate in the cake wasn't as smooth and creamy as I hoped it. The cake seems to have a bit too much moisture in it. I am guessing the moisture must have been it sitting in the fridge too long. The Diablo Torte is a flourless cake and flourless cake requires a lot of skills to make. Yes the Diablo Torte does have the spicy cayenne kick. I wish it had more of the chocolate flavor. I have had really good cakes in the past. The cake I got is slightly lacking in flavor but still Decadent Brulee's Diablo Torte was not bad. The single serve cake itself was $7.09. Price vs taste! Not sure how they can charge that price. I mean at least it has a really nice presentation. The bakery is more of a grab and go place. There is only one table with 3 chairs. It would be difficult for a place for small talks. Also the place is quite small. I peaked into the kitchen and it seemed like the kitchen area is bigger than the area outside. Maybe, they get a lot of orders on cakes to go for parties. Yes they also serves coffee but from the looks of it, coffee is not their specialty. They also serves other pastries like cookies and etc. However, their cookies are not as delicious looking at some cookie specialty stores. It looked somewhat dry. I do want to point out that in Calgary there are not a lot of pastries and cake places. It is good there is Decadent Brûlée. Where I am from there are dime a dozen. read more

Friendly atmosphere and tasty food. Vegan 100 % with a significant portion of each meal. It is highly recommended. Don't hesitate to go there at an affordable price. We ordered the Fried Cauliflower and Meat Pho. Delicious both. Lynn takes care of us excellent attention also. read more

Decadent Brûlée - Beautiful cake! These ladies went way beyond expectations. I will be returning for this experience! Tell your friends - Bakeries Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

A work colleague introduced me to the Brûlée Bakery on a nicely warm and sunny Saturday morning. We were walking down Electric Avenue, when she made a hard turn at an unmarked door and then hard left to downstairs. Upstairs was a cooking store and school, with the Metrovino Wine Shop farther through. She knows of this place as she lives in this general area and the next door spa she goes to serves Brûlée Bakery goods to their customers.. Her first reaction when I started asking for details of this place was "Don't write this place up on Yelp!" Too Late, as the secret of this wonderful little bakery is already out. I ordered a pecan roll that was the best warm and sweet piece of baked goodness that I had enjoyed in a very long time. And if actually lived in Calgary, I would be back often for the breads and the various tempting examples of Le Gâteau Élégant. I was so impressed that later in the afternoon, I circled back by myself and snagged a few breakfast scones for the next day and after. It was all good to the very last crumb. read more

I was walking down the street thinking about mundane things like how to better organize my closet and suddenly I felt like I was in a cartoon. You know when a cartoon bear is walking along and suddenly a smell cloud wanders through the air and he sniffs and follows it until he spots an amazing picnic through the bushes? It was JUST like that. Except the scent cloud in this case consisted of heavenly, cinnamon sugar. I followed my schnoz to this bakery establishment and the warm cookies tasted just like the air had smelt. Ambrosia! I have since ordered cakes from here and this is where Brûlée shines for me (as I don't just drop in to sample goods often). I have loved every cake I have purchased (and received lots of compliments on the choices) but my heart truly beats for the Ganache. Mmmm, in my dreams every fridge would open to left-over fried chicken and Brûlée chocolate cake... read more

Hidden gem alert! This place is fantastic! Seriously you guys, if you want a special treat or you just feel overly indulgent this is place to go. It's a tiny little bakery on 10th where everything is made fresh! There are tons of gluten free options, but since it was my birthday I opted for a mini-cheesecake with fresh fruit on it. My favorite part; the gooseberry on top. You see I have an odd obsession with gooseberries, I think they are fantastic and could eat them all day long! I brought my creamy delicious treat back to the office to snack on during the afternoon and it was even more delicious than I expected. This tiny bakery really out does itself, the melt in your mouth goodies are seriously worth it. They don't have a huge selection but that's what makes it unique - it's not overdone, and frankly it kind of reminds me of a European bakery or something you would find in New York which just makes it that much more desirable. Calgary has a lot of great cafes with baked goods but this place really trumps them all! read more

My girlfriend just bought a cake from here called the princess cake. Everyone including myself thought it was disgustingly sweet with weird hard cream. It tasted like the cake was soaked in sugar water because it was wet cake. Would never recommend anyone to get cakes from here. It was sickening how sweet it was tasted like diabetes about to happen read more

Mmmm... an underground bakery. Literally. Brulee dwells in the basement half of one of the buildings on 11th Ave. The first time I visited was to buy myself a piece of birthday cake. The second time, to buy a friend a piece of birthday cake. I was that impressed with my own piece. It's no wonder Brulee has such a good reputation--your dessert is baked and dressed to impressed with copious amounts of TLC in every bite. The cheesecake is next on my list to try as suggested by Gimlet B, but you'll be pretty safe with anything in there... unless of course you're looking to avoid satisfying your sweet tooth. In that case, run. read more

It's now Decadent Brulee. Owners of what had been Decadent Desserts have taken the space over. It's still very good, in fact today I got two of the "peanut butter cups" made with a peanut butter mousse and it's... decadent. Outstanding. read more

Hubs favourite cake flavour is lemon, or something citrusy, with his birthday coming up I was looking for a cake option for his and read multiple positive reviews of the lemon creme cake on Yelp. I emailed the bakery and they quickly confirmed the order, the best pickup time and I was all set. The bakery is downstairs in a building on 11th ave but is easy to locate, there's street parking and lots of signage. Oh, my the bakery smells delicious, it's small space with some display shelves for items to pick up on the day off and a small seating area. The cake was beautifully decorated, they wrote happy birthday on it and decorated it with fresh flowers on top. The cake was delicious, nice and lemony but not to tart. A+! read more

Absolutely delicious. Quaint downstairs location limited seating mostly take out. But the coffees/teas and dessert and limited food selections are absolutely mouth watering. Every time I walk pass their place I am ever so tempted to pick something up. I believe you will find you will have the same experience once you have tried this location. read more

Brûlée has turned me into a dessert person. I now sometimes look off into the distance and think about Brûlée's sugar cookies (which are so buttery delicious I wish they were a food group). Everything on their menu that I've tried I've loved. Whether it's the sugar, white chocolate macadamia nut or peanut butter cookies or their custard filled, fresh fruit topped, crumbly crust butter tarts; it's exactly what you'd expect of a great dessert; a treat full of well balanced flavor that leaves you satisfied without feeling too full. Expect to pay a premium for these treats; but if you need to impress someone special, a Brûlée dessert is sure to do the trick. Just follow your nose down the stairs and get yourself a sugar cookie (you deserve it). T. read more

Okay, okay I swear: I'll do a sugar detox next week. Since it's not next week yet, you'll be happy to know that I visited Brulee Bakery this week and I was delighted! Known around town for pulling out all the stops in their festive baking (Easter, Mother's Day, Christmas, etc), I had to see these decadent creations for myself. Known for their lemon cream cake, chocolate Ganache cake, lavender shortbread, chocolate Diablo, pecan sticky buns, seasonal fruit tarts, apricot torte, seasonal fruit tarts, chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake brownies and custom-made cakes, Brulee really sets the bar (very high I might add) when it comes to baked goods in Calgary. With a wedding cake specialist in-house, the good people at Brulee are living proof that if you can dream it, they can make it. Whether you are looking for gluten-free desserts, or raw puff pastry to take home and bake with yourself, Brulee Bakery is an absolute gem in our city. read more

I got the chocolate Ganache cake for my 30th birthday and I loved it. The cake was decorated with fresh flowers and it was super tasty. I believe it's one of the best in town. read more

Decadent Brûlée - Chocolate Ganache - Bakeries Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Best lemon slice I have had, and I am a lemon slice/tart/square lover. Open Tues-Sat so plan ahead. I will be going back soon.

I was recommended to try Brûlée via Twitter. I was looking for a great tasting cake that would be special for my mother in law's 65th birthday. I am not a dessert person so I asked them for advice on flavour and style. They did not disappoint! The chocolate ganache cake was to die for and I'm not even a chocolate lover. A day later I'm trying to figure out who has a birthday next so that I can order them a cake to try other flavours. The service was also top notch. So friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. If I could assign a bonus star I would. I would hands down recommend Brulee to anyone looking for cakes and pastries for any occasion. read more

Specializing in dessert, Brulee offers a small, but incredibly well done selection of cakes, cookies, brownies and so on. I'm an especial fan of their croissants. So where to start... where to start. Well, they're a bit hard to find, as they're just underneath the Cookbook Co. on 11th AVe SW. They're definately busy baking all the time, but I've seen them sell out often. They're simply marvellous at what they do, and what they do is simply delicious. Their service is fast and efficient, and they're quite a friendly staff. There's still quite a bit I've yet to try, so looking forward to my next few visits. read more

I wandered into this tiny bakery on a whim while furniture and home decor shopping. I was feeling hungry and wondered if this place would have something good to eat. They don't offer much in the way of savoury foods but they do have quiches and some cheeses. I ordered a cheesecake brownie to go and it was incredibly good! Big piece and under $3 with the tax. I wish I lived in th city so I could come back and try a few other items. This would be a destination place for sure. read more

Thank you to Pam for taking my order and getting the tart ready in such a short time, the service is fantastic. Oh, and the vegan chocolate sin tart was an absolute hit with everyone. Beautiful presentation and absolute divine!! read more

We came to this place by Yelp review never regretted it! My husband and I were looking for a good cake maker to make us a special cake for our baby gender announcement to the family. The whole idea was that we ourselves didn't know the gender either so we needed complete secrecy up to when the big reveal was to unfold. We got a sealed envelope from the doctor and gave it directly to the Brulee staff. They took it in the back, wrote down on the order what they needed to and sealed it back up, then gave it to us. When we were to pick it up they let us know that if it's a girl the layer beneath the chocolate frosting is going to be pink, if it's a boy it's going to be blue. Everything was done and ready in just three days and the cake looked amazing. The funny thing is that we announced everything at our uncle's birthday party so the cake had to look like an actual birthday cake. Absolutely awesome! I recommend them completely and will sure go there again and again each time I need a good quality cake and service! read more

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this bakery. They made my wedding cake! We had a small simple wedding which called for a small simple cake. Of course what's the point of cake if it's not delicious and Brulee does not disappoint. You will have noticed the reviews that talk about the delicious lemon cake. Well that was what we had and have gone back for time and time again. The perfect lemon flavor with a moist cake and icing that is not overpoweringly sweet. Over the years it has continued to be a go to for special events. But don't discount dropping by for something smaller. From scones and tarts to turnovers and cookies. There is something to satisfy your cravings. read more

Got a chocolate cake with ganache for our 26 wedding anniversary. The lady there was super helpful, the cake was AWESOME. Dude, this is the first time I could eat the icing. Will definitely go back. read more

I have been in this place few times and ordered cake one time. The taste, design and quality of the cake was outstanding. Customer service is great too. They have tons of options you could choose from but for cakes they prefer ordering in advance; they have limited numbers of cakes on the front. read more

It's a small bakery and not that easy to find, but it worth looking for. The service is great, and I really like their chocolate ganache

My friend brought me a cake for my birthday (which I share with Queen Elizabeth) I think my cake from Brulée was much tastier than hers! thanks for making such wonderful cakes read more

I've got the chocolate Ganache for my son's birthday . It's really delicious and it had a nice design with fresh flowers. it's a bit pricy though ($60 for 6 in cake ) read more

Expensive but well WORTH IT! we had the tiramisu and diablo torte. The flourless cookies were awesome too.

Simply the best food! My personal favourite would be the peanut butter mousse cups.

Literally THE BEST cake I've ever had. Pink princess cake was so pretty I didn't want to cut into it. But so glad I did, it was so good...

I received the lemon cream cake for my birthday, I was in heaven! Delicious, not to mention beautiful with fresh flowers, the icing melts in your mouth! read more

I have been in this store twice and both times I was the only person in the store. As soon as I walked far enough into the store the "attendant" gave me a pretentious look, walked into the back and never came back out. Pretentious arrogance twice, I won't ever be back. read more

very limited selection, again only 2 display cases. 4$ for a lemon wedge? ripoff city. Nothing spectacular besides their spectacularly high prices. read more
