My husband & I stopped at the Lakeview Bakery and purchased a Lemon Poppyseed cake . We had a piece for dessert after supper and we really enjoyed it ! The cake was very moist , had lots of poppyseeds , lemony flavor and the white icing was lemon flavor too . So delicious and my sister in law had a piece and said it was excellent. Nice to support small community businesses . Cake is all gone and I forgot to take a picture of it . But I would buy this again when I crave poppyseed ! read more

My husband ordered me a non-dairy birthday cake for a milestone birthday, as he has for the past five years. The cake still had parchment paper between the layers, which my family had to pull out of their mouths as they took bites of the cake. I figured it was a one-off mistake and sent an email to let the bakery know. This could have been a serious choking hazard, especially for small children or elderly people. Lakeview Bakery never responded to my email. It's one thing to mess up now and again. It's another to ignore a loyal customer who was trying to point out your mistake privately for the sake of your business. This lack of acknowledgement is why I'm writing this review. If you list an email address on your website, reply to your email. read more

I've been using Lakeview BaKerry products on and off for about 16 years. my oldest had a wheat allergy but she was able to eat the Spelt bread. My youngest has a dairy allery, and I'm gluten free. We haven't ordered in a bit, but whenever we ordered a Gluten Free/Dairy Free Cake, it was delicious and those who didn't have those die restrictions also enjoyed the cake. They also have wonderful gluten free Sourdough bread and another in house gluten free cheese bread. They are my favourite gluten free breads, hands down. read more

Lakeview Bakery - This is a Gluten Free cake I bought several years ago. It was the perfect consistency, not heavy like many gluten free baked goods - Bakeries Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Don't eat any of the bakery products as you might get sick Ordered some cheesse buns and bread our whole family was sick the next day read more

They used to make my favourite cake. They must have changed bakers or something because the cake seemed undercooked. Like too soggy and dense to have been properly made. The carrot cake was my favourite and I was really looking forward to it on my birthday but it was very disappointing. I don't recommend the extra cost for decorating, it's fee for frosting I could have gone without not worth it. All I wanted was a fluffy carrot cake. It was more like a pudding. read more

Lakeview Bakery - Quarter slab carrot cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Okay, if you're heading for this bakery, don't look for the name 'Lakeview' on the outside. Just look for a green sign on top of the building that says 'Bakery." It would seem as though the first half of the sign has been broken off, since there's a tiny bit of the 'w' left, which resembles a 'v', but no 'Lakeview.' Signage aside, this is among the coolest bakeries I've been to. It's more of a grocery store for baked goods. You can buy absolutely everything associated with baking at this place. You can get all different sorts of flour including gluten-free and hazelnut, as well as sugars, spices, extracts, oats, nuts, and other baking necessities. They also have a GIANT assortment of fresh goods ready to leave the store. They bake everything from fresh bread to cinnamon buns, cookies to meringue singles. You can really spend a couple minutes browsing the (small) isles of this bakery. They don't have super expensive stuff, but the prices are pretty typical of a bakery. Some of their specialty stuff like lemon tarts, raspberry squares and nut-free goods can get pricey, but it's totally worth it. All the workers in the store really know their stuff. You can ask them any question about any product and they'll be able to tell you everything about it. It's nice to know that they are quick to offer a helping hand! Lakeview Bakery, or rather 'v Bakery' gets two thumbs up from me! I like the large selection and good people they have! read more

Lakeview Bakery - the front of the store - Bakeries Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Whether you're a celiac or a diabetic, Lakeview Bakery's got a tasty cure for whatever ails you, and there's no compromise on taste. Besides ready-made and bake-yourself products for celiac diets & cakes especially for diabetics, Lakeview also has a wide variety of products for yeast-free and sugar-free diets. But sugar and carb lovers, not to fret - there are plenty of organic pastries to choose from as well. Lakeview bakery is a clean, aromatic, bakery doing business at Lakeview Shopping Centre for the last 20 years, so they must be doing something right! My lady went for an old fashioned oatmeal date cookie, which was about the size of a pizza pop. She dug it. So much so, in fact, that there's already talk of a return visit in our near future. read more

What a truly Predatory Business. Claiming to deliver gluten free products, Lakeview bakery is a fraud. After testing several of the products after becoming sick, discovered they are far from gluten free. Garbage products. If avoiding gluten is important to you please think twice about purchasing from this business. Make sure to get a gluten tester before you consume any products that are supposedly gluten free. Lakeview bakery is not a gluten free bakery. Shame on you lakeview for preying on people with gluten allergies. Avoid Lakeview Bakery. read more

This bakery provides a very small selection of Keto goods, but they are ALWAYS sold out. This makes no sense from a business standpoint. You need to make and sell more of the thing that always sells out! It's like a car dealership that is filled with cars but everyone wants trucks... When you ask why, they say "Oh, we have one truck come in each month but we're back-ordered for forty years...would you like me to put you on the list?" Keto is very popular right now, it would not take much to become wealthy selling tasty treats to all the rich people who can afford them, would just take a bit of advertising. read more

Wow, I'm actually surprised that this place has gotten numerous five stars. Regarding a previous post about a disgusting gluten free muffin I had, I was informed it came from Lakeview Bakery, and I wasn't the only person that complained. Being celiac is challenging as it is, so when you try something you have a craving for (in this case it was a gluten free blueberry muffin) and it tastes rancid, you're pretty disappointed. I took my muffin home to eat, when I warmed it up, it smelled like dirty feet, and the taste wasn't much better. I tried putting butter on to give it more moisture and that did nothing. It was small, crumbly and terrible. if you want good gluten free baked goods, take the time to drive to Slice Bakery. read more

I love coming across bakeries that specialize in a certain area, and Lakeview Bakery specializes in...well...a slew of areas. Catering to people with special dietary needs, Lakeview Bakery carries wheat-free, yeast-free, sugar-free, egg-free and low carb options. Celebrating their 20th year of being in business this month, Lakeview Bakery offers our city organic baked goods made from scratch. Not everyone can eat everything at a regular bakery, but at this place, you'll surely find exactly what you're looking for. *High Five* read more

I know this place caters to gluten free mostly, and I don't need gluten free products, but I appreciate what they do. Unfortunately my step sis who is severely celiac cannot eat anything from here because it has too many parts per million for her immune system. It's low enough to be considered gluten free, but not low enough for those with severe gluten allergies. So bummer for her, I can't buy her anything from here. So I just make it at home instead. I come here instead for their gluten free vegan items from Sweets From The Earth. I have asked several times if they make anything without eggs or dairy and it's a no. So I am just a bit disappointed they only work with the gluten allergy or fad dieters and are not an allergy friendly place. It's probably because that's the owners choice. But I would purchase things if they used ground flax seed and water to replace eggs in some of their items and plant milk instead of regular milk. Just some feedback! It's pretty much got any kind of gluten free item you want though if that's what you're looking for. read more

As a vegetarian and diagnosed with Celiac Disease Lakeview is accommodative to my lifestyle and offers a large variety of Gluten free breads, pastries and misc stuff. Everything I buy has great consistency and always taste delicious. The staff are friendly, informative of all the products and welcome help if needed. But during busy days they're usually off the floor and working in the back- you have to ring a service bell for help. read more

What a lovely surprise! We were out on a family day to the Dragon Boat festival, got lost and ended up at this little strip mall (#47 from chinook train station passes right by) We were hungry. So I ventured in - SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM! And healthy. So many gluten free options - and they were even accepting gluten free donations for the Food Bank. My husband and I each got the veggie rolls. Delicious! Then theres a huge display of fresh baked treats - really well priced. I got a blondie ($1.50 HUGE) and for my hubby i surprised with turtle ($1.99) and it was SO GOOD - and you can tell its handmade because it taste of love - and gluten free. Everything was so so good We spent $8 and had lunch and desert. Will be back!! (also, noticed theres a few bad comments about no where to sit. Im not sure if its new construction but there are 4 benches we parked at) read more

This is a fantastic bakery whether you need to eat gluten free or not. They have lovely treats with gluten and without. Their gluten-free treats are skookum-chuk (and I am not even allergic to gluten). Try the lava cakes and the rum balls...mmmmmm. Oh and the raspberry turnovers (more like a granola-like cookie base than a pastry). It is always a buzzing store on the weekend with at least a few people waiting to get through the line--always a good sign of a great business in my opinion. read more

Very cute, the staff were very friendly but I have to say I didn't really enjoy the cookies I picked up. Needed more flavour as far as the look of the items everything looks fantastic but the taste wasn't there. read more

Went there this early this week horribly rude staff bad selection most things weren't available.

Unfortunately I have not had the best experience here. I know that my preference is unique being celiac or gluten intolerant, but I will not be returning to purchase any further products. I special ordered dinner buns and pumpkin pie for Christmas and they were terrible. The buns were dry and the pumpkin pie's crust was gooey - I had purchased better for Thanksgiving from the freezer section at Sobey's. I decided to give them another try (not sure why) and went to the store itself and purchased bread (which fell apart), ginger cookies (which were like chalk) and hamburger buns that I had to throw away. Needless to stay I spent at least $60 and the product quality was not good. I suggest that they severely adjust their recipes to offer a better quality product as I've found better frozen products at health food stores then this "fresh" bakery. read more

This review is only based on the Lakeview Bakery products that I order from spud.ca. I order the spelt cinnamon rolls and the stoneground bagels. The bagels were a surprise. They do not taste like bagels, but like very nice buns! My friend calls them bungles. They are delicious and are the perfect thing for a breakfast sandwich! I love the texture and the sesame and poppy seeds on them add a great flavour. I am hooked.. the cinnamon rolls are not overly sweet and are yummy warmed with butter on them! Their products are organic and high quality. I look forward to trying more Lakeview Bakery products! :-) read more

This bakery is amazing, me and my cousin go here every time she visits, I can't believe people are posting bad comments. The only thing I would change is that everyone in my family wants to eat inside the store so maybe if they put a table or two in it would make more people happy. read more

Only been to their 90th location so this review is for that location and products we buy from other retailers. Lakeview has great options for vegans. Their pies are amazing and priced well. We enjoying picking up treats for the weekend. Always friendly service as well. read more
