Their chicken pies and beef (or beef with cheese) are all excellent! Every time I get them, they are so fresh and delicious - often, just out of the oven! They don't last long at our house. I usually call in advance to order if I need a few dozen pies because they sell out so quickly. Thanks to Shamash and his brother, Mamad. read more

great service the owner went out of his way to make sure that I was happy with the order. Very tasty and fancy cakes for special occasions.

This is the second birthday cake we got from ESM and it was excellent. Rich, delicious, beautifully decorated and made exactly to order. The owner recognized me as soon as I came in and he is always kind and goes out of his way to make his customers are well served and happy. They also have some other really epic treats and goods on offer too. Impossible to resist! read more

ESM Fine Cakes and Pastries - Chocolate birthday cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

've had multiple bad experiences with this store over the past few weeks, and I feel it's important to share them so others are aware before shopping here. Two weeks ago, I purchased 3 packets of khari, out of which 2 were stale and had to be thrown away. I raised a complaint but received no response or resolution. Despite this, I gave the store another chance this week and bought 2 more packets--1 of which was stale again. When I politely asked about the freshness of the product during my visit, the owner named Shamsh responded with irritation: "You ask this question every time." -- as if it's unreasonable for a customer to be concerned about food quality, especially after previously buying stale items. Why shouldn't a customer ask about freshness? We're paying for the food; it's not being handed out for free. If the store cannot ensure consistent quality, customers have every right to ask. What's more disappointing is the way regular customers are treated. Initially, they try to win you over by offering a free sweet or pastry. But once you become a repeat customer, the friendliness disappears and is replaced with rudeness and dismissiveness. Lastly, during my recent visit, I overheard a very inappropriate comment from Shamsh regarding another customer who parked near the store. He remarked: "These people have no courtesy. They think they are driving in India." -- an unacceptable and borderline racist comment, especially considering that most of the store's customer base is of Indian background. This kind of remark is deeply offensive and unprofessional. I'm extremely disappointed and will not be returning. read more

ESM created the most beautiful wedding cake for me this weekend. They took into consideration all of my wants and suggestions to create the most beautiful cake. Two different flavours. A taste bud experience. All of our guests enjoyed. Thank you so much ESM. Dianne Danyluk read more

I popped in here quite honestly by accident. It was next door to the produce place I was at and I thought I would check it out. Boy am I ever glad I did. I hadn't had breakfast that morning and I tried one of their vegetable pies and WOW they were yummy. Just the right amount of spicy and filling. They even warmed it up for me while I waited. And, bonus, less than $2. I just wish I had a coffee to go with. Then, while I was waiting for it to be heated up I noticed they had sweet buns for sale. Now, I'm a chatty person. So, I mentioned to the fellow that while in the US recently I had some sweet buns there that I LOVED and he was willing to let me try one without purchasing the pack. That is the great thing about small businesses. They are friendly and allow you to try things when you ask. Now, I liked it enough to buy the rest of the pack but there was no expectation that I would have to do that when he opened it up for me! They sell cakes for all occasions with REAL buttercream icing and fresh fruit on top. My daughter is not a fan of the sugary icing so we will be back to get a cake for her birthday for sure! There were not very many decorated cake photos to choice from but she's older so it's not as big an issue now. So we actually did order the cake, and it was DELICIOUS. The mango buttercream icing was to die for. It was still a little sweet but not as bad as icing sugar cakes and the cake was amazing. The only bad part was I forgot to pick it up on Saturday and they are closed on Sunday. I was quite unimpressed that they didn't call to tell me they were closing as they did have my number.... so order the cake but don't forget to go get it! read more

I want to commend Shams and his staff for the great service. They were able, on short notice, to prepare a beautiful birthday cake and deliver it to my father's retirement village. Working with Shams from out of province was incredibly easy, and he was completely accommodating. When next we are in Edmonton, we are stopping by for more goodies. Highly recommend! read more

ESM Fine Cakes and Pastries - Bday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

The owner is very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. I have purchased a couple of plain vanilla cheesecakes with vanilla buttercream icing for special occasions. The cheesecake melts in your mouth, the buttercream is not overly sweet, and there are no additives in their cakes. Everything is made in house and is fresh. They primarily cater to hotels so you must order ahead. At least once, you must come and treat yourself. This is now my only cake destination. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. read more

I see this place closed almost everytime I go for dessert after a dinner which made me really curious about it. So I actually made it a point to go in a weekend after lunch. Parking is shared with the other businesses in the strip, but it's not hard to get a spot. It's a tiny storefront, but they carry a lot of other things than desserts (pop, Nando's sauce, savoury pastries). I bought a few meat pastries & a chocolate mousse cup and a fruit tart. The desserts were reasonably priced, tasted divine and was presented beautifully, it definitely gives those posh cafe bakeries a run for the money. I wasn't too big a fan of the savoury items though, nice flaky pastry, but they had a spicy heat to them that's not too overwhelming, but definitely not pleasing for the little ones. They also do cake orders with shorter notice than most other places. Now that I've been, I'll definitely be back to try more of those desserts! read more

Everyone I know goes here for them to cater the best baking possible. Small store located in strip mall area, with parking lot. Definitely worth the trip. Small store, with many desserts lined up to tease you as you walk through the front door. Other condiments and goods are served all around. Service is great and owner is extremely friendly. Very accommodating. I cant tell you what's great there specifically but its all good. My fiance makes weekly trips for his parents for the toast and then pastries, reasonably priced. read more

One word to describe : priceless. 31st of October 2013 After having read the positive reviews on Urbanspoon I made a call hours before my birthday man's birthday dinner in hope of getting a cake. Quite a last minute plan to be quite honest. The owner told me they were in fact closed till the 3rd of September but could accommodate my request. I was thrilled. I was due to pick up the cake from the bakery around 1700 but could not do so until 2100. Amazingly, Shamas (the owner) went far and beyond in delivering the birthday cake to me by leaving his event a little earlier and opened up the bakery shop just so I could finally pick up the cake. The quality of the cake was delicious and the experience was invaluable to the fact it made our night. :) read more

Quite disappointed in the baby shower cake we ordered from here. The cake looked like it was put together in 10 minutes and didn't taste any better either. It tasted like it was boxed cake mix that was used, not to mention the sides were burned. For a cake of this caliber, you'd expect to pay about $10-$15, but he charged $150 for it. It was like you were eating bread - so dry and no flavor. I was actually embarrassed to serve this to guests at the shower. Not only did it taste bad, but the decoration/exterior was horrible. Tried to resolve this via text, but he wouldn't even acknowledge the text - hence the review here. read more

I tried ESM for the first time - getting a birthday cake for my wife's birthday. It was nothing short of outstanding!! Beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious. The service was superb, and the entire experience could not have been better. We have found our "home" bakery and can't wait to try more of their wonderful products. Highly recommended! read more

I never give a high props review to anyone unless they deserve it; but these guys, deserve it always and beyond! I love their meat pies along with their spicy cheese and chicken selections! For those who are vegetarians, they do have one for you in veggies! As for their cakes, I don't know where to begin! Their cakes are to die for, and always leaving me for more! The owner, his brother and their staff are amazing, attentive and will always go beyond to help you! Definitely 10/10 in my books and will continue to refer people to these guys. Try them out if you haven't, you won't regret it! read more

ESM Cakes are best cakes.flavours are really amazing and taste makes to drool. Best tasting cake I ever had.

Damn you esm , I was trying to loose baby weight but was foolish enough to think " oh ill just have one cheat day and try some treats " . Needless to say I'm a fatty at heart . So hooked that I cried after finding out that they were close on Sunday and I couldn't get my fix read more

I've seen ESM Bakery a few times when shopping in this strip mall. I stopped in to get some treats and was not disappointed. The owner(?) said they specialized in fancy decorated cakes, but can do custom orders of all kinds. I bought: brownies - possibly the best I've ever had, lighter than usual and with a chocolate dipped sides & top meat pies - good, but typical filo spinach spiral - delicious and very generous with the spinach. I'll be back! read more

Beautiful and great tasting cakes. I travel across the city to get my birthday cakes from ESM. Great service as well. Very friendly.

Happened upon this place by chance when we went shopping for produce at H&W a few doors down. This is the best smelling bakery I've ever been in! Everything is very beautifully crafted and delicious, and prices are very reasonable especially considering the quality that you get. Staff has always been very friendly, and the shop has always very clean. Highly recommend! read more
