    beautiful presentation
    Nadchen A.

    I had no idea what to expect other than "the best bakery in Edmonton" and when I walked through the doors, I could understand why in that first second. I remember walking in and just being blown away by the presentation. After the first two steps I think I stood still to take in my surroundings to say "Wow" haha. The displays cases were very clean and presented all the pastries so beautifully. The interior was spacious with the left half of the area dedicated to the pastries and the other half had a coffee bar and merchandise display. From the furniture, display cases, chairs and couches, each detail was curated to deliver an elegant atmosphere. There were so many things to choose from, they all looked so lovely. My boyfriend and I got the Lemon Blueberry tart, some type of Blueberry Brioche, and Rose, Pistachio, and Vanilla macarons. I also got an Iced Matcha latte. The lady who helped us was so patient and helpful with us. I felt like their customer service was very warm. Everything we ordered was just phenomenal. I couldn't help but grab more bites from the Lemon Blueberry tart. Each pastry had the perfect amount of sweetness. All the macarons we ordered were delicious, the perfect size, and not too sweet. I tend to like floral flavors, so Rose was my favorite. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. This was such a memorable experience, I look forward to the next time I'll be back!

    Great place for coffee and something sweet. Clash date idea! Parking is stressful but it's doable so I suggest you give yourself 5 extra minutes to do the block a couple times. Sandwiches looked yummy! Not to long of wait a there was 3 people serving the counter. Good selection Saturday 2pm. Not a lot of dine in seats and they fill up quickly. Orange creamsicle - great filling. Not too sweet. Crust was pretty good. Tarts are not really my thing. Macaron Gateau. Soon pretty. Macaron cookie was 10/10 but filling was not my favorite and it's impossible to eat. Macaron cookie were 10/10. Perfectly made, perfect texture, perfect filling - caramel one wasn't too sweet. 100% would recommend. 2 small cakes, 2 macarons = $30 Overall very high quality goods

    Duchess cake.

    I've been going to Duchess Bake Shop for years and I'm surprised I haven't done a review yet! Duchess is a 5 star bakery. They're famous because their products are made of high quality ingredients and the taste is unmatched. They actually use butter from France! When you visit the Duchess Bake Shop you need to expect a bit of a wait. It's a very popular place and long lines are common here. You do not serve yourself here. There are glass displays where you can make your choice of baked goods. The staff are organized and efficient in boxing your selections. It's a good idea to be ready to give you're order once a staff member is able to assist you. Knowing what you want will definitely make the ordering process a lot smoother. The ambience is as if you are transported to a fancy bakery in Europe. The decor and the vibe is totally French chic. This bakery is beautiful and elegant. When you walk out with one of their boxes you feel like you stepped out of a high end luxury shop. You pay for quality here. My favourite item is their Duchess cake which isn't always available. I special ordered the Duchess Cake for my birthday the last year. They were taking pre-orders around the time of my birthday. It's a delicious dome shaped chiffon cake with marzipan and raspberry jam. I reserved a cake online and went to the bakery to pick it up. I didn't need to wait in line as there was a separate line for pickup. Duchess Bake Shop is definitely on my list of go to Edmonton bakeries. I recommended going here. Every visit here is a sweet experience!

    Really lovely place to take in the ambiance. There are chairs and couches! Feels almost like high tea with these quality pastries. Gruyere croissants (~$4) were nice and buttery, key lime tart pie (~$9) was very sweet so share it with someone!

    If you are in the mood for something decadent, whether it's tea with your bestie or a box of macaroons to eat in bed, they have you covered. The shop is decorated beautifully. They have a lovely selection of baking items (like pearl sugar for making real Belgium waffles). I used to receive the Duke cake as a gift from someone , every year on my birthday and it never disappointed - chocolate lovers only need apply!

    Valentines day tart for $8 each

    Just like in paris. The smell is enticing once you open the door. Macaroons. Cheese croissants. Madelines. The duchess cake. Lime tarts. Brioche. I miss the days when this place just opened and everything was in stock and clean. Now its so popular the tables are dirty and my favourites are sold out by 3 pm. Ive come here for years when it was just half the size and there was only 1 or two staff there. Service was impeccable. I guess thats the price you pay for being the best parisan bakery in edmonton. All the best of paris delicacies in a large cafe. Plenty of seats but they always seem full. The desserts are the closest thing to parisan goodies that u can find in edmonton. The only thing missing is the selection of crusty bread sandwiches in every delectable flavours like smoked salmon or mixed meats. But hey duchess cant be perfect. They do got sandwiches and soups but they are not what you come to this place for. My favourites are the salted caramel macaroons, lavender and the rose ones. Delicate and not overly sweet. The only issue is that there is so much sugar in everything I feel like im in diabetic ketoacidosis bc my sugar is through the roof. You cant eat too much of this stuff even if you tried. Ive had the coffee and chai latte which were both nice. A bit small for me as I am used to the ventis but I guess it leaves more snacking room. My only vice about this is that its not cheap. $1.50 a macaroon. And everything costs about $3-$8 an item. Only a small box and it can end up to over $50 easily. But for quality you will come back and pay those prices. When im feeling like being swept to a parisan bakery. I come here. I never leave without a smile. And who could with all those delicious treats.

    I switched from Duchess to Bonton because my favourite Macaron Cake that I have been buying since they started first underwent shrinkage (see how the first photo has a larger gold part sticking out than the original third), but at this point they added basically double the price (see second photo) for absolutely identical product ... I understand the inflation, but still...

    a variety of baked goods

    I was working in the area and decided to stop by before they close to grab some ginger cookies for the kids. They had 4 left so I grabbed all of them. I also grabbed a mini key lime pie as I absolutely love these and they remind me of travelling. The atmosphere in the store was good, very clean and organized but I miss the hustle and bustle of the place. I remember a time when this place was always packed and not a seat to be found! The ginger cookies have chunks of candied ginger baked right into them and they are delicious. The lady who was helping me suggested that I try the frozen, ready to bake ginger cookies to take home and enjoy. I didn't even know they had this available so I'm so glad she suggested this! I bought the small size 8 cookies for $14.95. I have yet to bake some at home but I'm looking forward to the warm delicious cookies! They have a ton of provisions you can buy to make delicious goodies at home as well. The staff is super friendly and helpful and just a wonderful experience!

    Bread pudding

    First time I've been able to stop and come in. Friendly staff with great recommendations. Decided to try the bread pudding, and it is amazing. Will make time to come back.

    I recently visited so can give a more accurate review. It was packed on a Sunday afternoon which is not surprising. It has a very unique vibe that makes you feel like you're in Paris or something. Prompt service and nice staff. The line was long but moved quickly. I ordered the Frasier cake for $8. It was really nice- not too sweet and well made. I also got a chai latte, however, was very disappointed with it. It tasted like steamed milk and lacked any sort of chai flavour. It was roughly $4 for a small mug of hot milk sprinkled with cinnamon and a thick coating of foam- definitely wasn't impressed.

    Best chocolate cake

    Cute French pastry cafe w. delicious macaroons n pastries. Will get it to go next time as the seating is limited and not organized (empty small tables but chairs all taken) which makes the experience not a delightful one (Taking a star away). My favorite was the chocolate cake w. chai latte.

    Lemon tart
    Devin B.

    I was looking for a place to get butter tarts, and this came up so my husband and I decided to give them a try. Upon walking in, we found they had a bit of a line and all tables were filled. Because there was nowhere to sit, we chose to only get pastries to go and not stay for lunch, which is a shame because their lunch options look great. While waiting in line, I saw that filling out a survey card can be redeemed for a free macaron, so we took advabtage and did the survey. We redeemed this for a cherry poppyseed macaron. I also ordered a butter tart and a pain au chocolate (dark). My husband ordered a lemon tart. The butter tart had great pastry, but the filling left a bit to be desired. It tasted good but didn't seem like there was much of it. We enjoyed it anyway. The lemon tart was really good! Tender pastry, and a smooth, creamy lemon filling with JUST enough tartness and not too much sweetness. We have not yet trued our other goodies, but these were good enough to warrant a return visit. Should I ever find myself in the area again, I will need to try their pear/brie/pecan flatbread thing. It looks delicious! Oh, staff is friendly and service is quick. No complaints there!

    Went here a couple of months ago. The croissants are quite simply the best I have ever had. The service was prompt and friendly.

    Went with a group last Sunday to celebrate, and had booked a table for one of their tea party days…read morea few weeks before. It's the first time I went there, as we usually go somewhere else like Hotel Macdonald, and I can tell you right off the bat that the one offered by The Art of Cake is much MUCH better! Their shabby chic decor is absolutely adorable and tasteful! The tables were decently spaced and lighting warm and bright. The staff were also super sweet when chatting and checking in on us during the course of our tea party. The menu was mouthwatering. Other tea parties, while sticking to bite sized portions, also stuck with scant fillings/toppings and little variety that always left me feeling like I should go for a burger run after. The Art of Cake's was not only as generous as they can be with the fillings in the bite sized portions, they were also varied and left my palette (and stomach) leaving well satisfied. Their plating and food presentation was fantastic and pleasing to the eye. It left me feeling reluctant to bite into some of the pieces because they were too cute and perfect! Would definitely recommend, and would go again!

    We got the Chocolate cake with Raspberry Buttercream. Cake was beautifully designed and decorated…read more Decorations are edible but not even a little tasty - we wish the white square that the message came on was white chocolate instead of non-tasty ?fondant. Chocolate cake was 12/10 moist and rich and delicious but 3 of 4 of us did not like the Raspberry Buttercream.
