Le fournil Bakery was a tease. The reviews were great on both Google and Yelp. I was looking forward to visiting them. They were closed 2 out of the three days I was in Canmore. Instead of visiting them 2 or more times, I only visited them once. The croissants and Danishes here were excellent. The croissants were buttery and flaky. I liked them. I think the Danish was good. My wife didn't want to share with me. They were a great place for croissants and danishes. I wish I was able to come here more times during my stay in Canmore. read more

Really lovely French bakery. The raspberry and blueberry pastries were perfect, and the coffee was truly delicious. It gets busy, but the line moves quickly and is very much worth it. Would absolutely go back! read more

This might be one of my favorite croissants I've ever had, and I've tried many of them from everywhere around the world! It was located right across our airbnb in Banff and had great reviews, so we gave it a try. There was a decent line but it moved quickly, and the inside reminds me of the boulangeries in Paris - pastries and breads on display, and small tables around. We got a few croissants and the decoratively cut baguette which looked like a tree branch :) The plain croissant was so perfect as it was still warm, and had a crisp outer layer and a soft buttery interior. The pain au chocolat was also solid, and the baguette was delicious too with a crunchy crust and soft middle. If I ever come back to Banff I'd definitely come back here! read more

We came here for breakfast and coffee in lieu of going on a hike. We got Danoise salée (savory croissant pastry with tomato and smoked Cheddar cheese), almond croissant, gateau a l'orange (orange cake with Earl grey whipped cream), and a cappuccino -- everything was delicious. It was obvious that care was taken to ensure the best pastries, as every bite had a good balance of flavor and texture. We were happy with our decision to miss a hike. read more

Amazing food! Terrific Coffee! Excellent Service! All in a great little village. What a beautiful way to break up the drive from Calgary to Banff. A must stop on your ways read more

Found this bakery place near the hotel. Really wanted to try various bread options, but was told they were short on staff so a lot of the bread could not be made. I tried their Epi, and it was absolutely amazing! It was soft and chewy. I love just simply tasting the aroma of the bread and pairing it with black coffee. Really recommend it on trying the baguette and Epi right away. The fresh bread is unbelievably delicious. Their coffee is not the best in town, but it's still good enough. It is not bold (kind of light) and low in acidic taste. I wish I could have tried their other stuff (bread and sandwiches). They are busy in the morning, but the line for paying is very quick. HOWEVER, the wait time for drinks is extremely long! The barista is super slow and unprofessional, luckily another worker helped out with the drinks. Overall, the staffs are welcoming and friendly. The store has tables and seats, so it is a great place for breakfast or a quick meal. The parking lot was under construction when we visited back in September, so parking was a big issue. read more

Holy cow. I will be dreaming of this place. This is the delicious part of Paris but with amazing, friendly people. Everyone here either speaks a native English or a beautifully-accented one. They are welcoming, warm, and knowledgeable. All of the pastries are delicious. Yes, I have tried them *all*. Additionally, of the 3 days we stayed in Canmore, I came here every day. Every. Single. Day. Here are my favorites: - Favorite sweet pastry: Almond chocolate croissant. I love the almond with chocolate together, and like with any other pastry here, the croissants are flaky with a thousand layers. The corners are my favorite. They crunch in your mouth into a million flakes, but with the almond croissants, you get an additionally chocolatey, almond paste goodness. Gah. I want this in the US. Please come. All of the pastries are delicious, but this is my favorite. - Favorite savory item: Ham and butter sandwich. Very simple but oh so good. The baguette for every sandwich is fresh, crunchy, and delicious. But this is my absolute favorite because of how much butter they add. It's creamy and flavorful, paired with a well seasoned ham. I gotta say -- I don't normally like ham all that much, so this is huge for me. The vegetarian and turkey sandwiches are also delicious! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any item here. Just close your eyes and point randomly. Lovely people, tasty food, ahhhhhhhhh. The bakery itself is a dainty small shop right on the road. Due to construction in the area, navigating to the bakery is slightly challenging: As you're driving by, just take any available turn off of the main Canmore road -- most of the turns are all connected a block over. *For those of you from the bay area in California, Arsicault is the closest you'll get. read more

Amazing pastries! My Calgary foodie friend swears this is the best he's had in all of Canada. And this is definitely better than some I've had in Paris. Wonderful lamination in the pastries. Especially loved the almost croissant and the pesto tomato pastry. Flavors are explosive. The blueberry and raspberry pastries were both wonderful too. I especially loved the twisted and sugar glazed pastry of the blueberry -- it made it really extra crisp on the outside. And I loved loved the raspberry filling. read more

This is one of the best croissants I've ever had in my life, rivals Arsicault Bakery in San Francisco for comparison. Tried 5 different pastries (3 types of croissants) and all very crunchy, buttery, flakey, and perfection! Even the ham+cheese croissant had that brown crunchy edgy cheese. Stop by on your way to Banff or your way out! read more

Great spot with yummy pastries and coffee! They have counter/window seating inside and a small patio outside which is perfect to enjoy breakfast and enjoy the view of the Rockies. We tried the chocolatine aux amandes (chocolate and almond) and framboise (raspberry) pastries and were not disappointed! Service was super nice and quick and if you don't stay at a nearby place they validate 1hour parking. read more

A must visit in Canmore for breakfast, coffee or lunch sandwiches. All of the baked goods are so fresh and delicious. We tried a lot of stuff and none disappointed. There are few chairs to sit inside but not for huge groups. Highly recommend to go check them out if you are in town! read more

4/5 for pastries - the bakery here had really solid delicious croissants that were perfect for a morning snack. I really enjoyed the pesto tomato and their almond croissant. It was super flaky and tasty. 2/5 for coffee - I picked up a latte and cappuccino. It was disappointing in my opinion and I recommend going to a nearby coffee shop instead. You could tell that the item was just an add on sale rather than an item they cared about making. The beans were mediocre and the balance between the milk and coffee didn't mesh well. Overall rounding up to a 4 since pastries are their go to and I would stop by again if I was in the area. read more

Delicious bakery! We stayed at a hotel down the road and happened upon this incredible little spot. The croissants, baguettes, and jambon beurre- all prepared expertly and worth ALL the calories. Lattes were also really well made. Wish we'd found this place sooner. Highly recommend! read more

I am so sad I didn't come here everyday while in Canmore! We stopped by on our last day here and was absolutely blown away by the pastries. We got a few to share - a pistachio cake, chocolate cake, lemon curd tart, and pain au fromage. The cakes were SO delicate and like a warm flavor blanket for your palette. The mirror glazing on them were so impressive. The pain au fromage had a shell that shattered as I bit into the buttery layers. Even the butterfly packaging on the cakes were a delight. The coffees were also delicious. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Dropped by Le Fournil on the day of our departure from Banff albeit it was just across our airbnb. Such a shame that we weren't able to try them early on during our trip. Their pastries were deliciously flakey and buttery. We had an assortment of danishes and croissants and everything was so good! We will definitely drop by more often when we go back to Canmore again. read more

We got 6 total desserts and the ham and beurre baguette here over our 2 visits. Everything was so well balanced in flavor and texture. The only complaint I have is that you have to ask for utensils and it's just not included (yeah I'm totally gonna eat these desserts with my hands right?), but even that complaint is a dumb stretch... meaning, there's very little to complain about here :) Service was quick and efficient. Seating is outside. They got a cozy souvenir area in the back. Parking easy in the big lot nearby. Desserts were ~$8 each. 10/10, would definitely come again and definitely recommend to all friends. Well thought out and executed desserts that make me feel like I never have to fly to France. read more

The almond croissants were super flaky, fresh and crispy. The frangipani was tasty. The babka we got was not quite as soft and sweet as I was expecting. Hope in the future they'll open their dine- in cafe again. read more

Le fournil Bakery - Various pastries- basil tomato roll, cinnamon roll, almond croissant, plain croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

In love with this bakery / pastry shop. We stopped by twice during our week long stay in Canmore and everything we tried was delicious! We mostly tried their desserts / mini cakes, but the chocolate croissant was delicious as well. My favorite dessert was probably either the Gateau de Chocolat ($7.95) or the lemon and meringue tart ($6.50), but it's all down to personal preference and taste. Lots of the folks around me in line were picking up their bread or pre-made sandwiches, so those seem to be pretty popular as well. You seriously can't go wrong with anything here. read more

Absolutely amazing French pastries!!!! Service was great and fast! The shop is cute and clean!! A must try when in Canmore!! We loved the blueberry cream cheese (so much I went in & got second one to go) and tomato basil ones the most! We also enjoyed the ham & cheese, chocolate croissant and monkey bread (monkey bread could've used a little more flavor). I wish they would warm it up for you, but the lady said they don't do that. The chocolate mousse cake was so good too!! Great prices here too!! read more

Sorry, still cleaning up crumbs from the flakiest almond croissant that I had the pleasure of spreading all over my car. Seriously, you'll need a bib for all of it but so worth every piece of croissant you find latter!!! The workers were speedy and friendly too! read more

Tomato, pesto, and cheddar cheese croissant. The best. So good I came back the next day to order it again. Both times I also got their baguette and baguette de campagne. Their pastry selection is impressive with different croissant options. The mark of a good place is their butter croissant and this place has one of the best I've ever had. Their varieties include raisin, blueberry, strawberry, almond, and chocolate. They have quality dessert options too. I tried the lemon meringue tart and it was a balanced bite of tart and sweet. They have great coffee and tea options too. This place is always a must visit for me whenever I come to Canmore! read more

Oui. Yes. Come here. But don't get lost wandering around the building like I did. The bakery is located inside the strip mall main entrance door, and then to the right. This is a place you get your items and leave. The packaging is beautifully done. The cafe was busy but the proprietor's were very serious about maintaining social distances and had hand sanitizer etc. The selection is well curated and glorious. The sandwiches looked so scrumptious, I can't wait to return and sample more items. The croissants were flaky and soft (cue the music when you dunk the almond one in coffee, oo la la!). The ham and cheese pastry was amazing. I decided not even to add butter to it. I wasn't blown away by the chocolate cake the first time I tried it. But, after putting half away in the fridge, I LOVED it chilled the next day with coffee. We got two little lemon merengue tarts on a whim and they were o u t of this world. This is a truly authentic French bakery with beautifully prepared, tasty food. read more

Absolutely nothing wrong with this place. It's super fancy, delicious, and very French. It's just not my style is all. We loved what we got and my wife approves the coffee (and she's hard to please when it comes to coffee!). Took off a start because $15 for a coffee and 2 pastries which didn't begin to fill me up seemed a little high. But so glad we went. read more

Cute French bakery in Canmore! Not located exactly in Downtown Canmore. Kinda hidden and not easy to spot but worth your time. They offer classical pastries such as croissants, pain au chocolate, etc and baked goods such as baguettes, sourdough bread, etc. The staff is polite and efficient. In summer, they have a nice patio where you can chill and have a nice cup of coffee or tea. Also, there's a market inside the bakery where you can find European products, frozen pastries, ready-to-bake goods, cooking books, etc. Prices are higher than your usual neighbourhood bakery but it's worth it. Pros: you're going to enjoy the pastries of one of the best bakeries in Canmore. Cons: everything's gone after 2 pm so go early. read more

I'm a baking nerd so every time I take a trip, I seek out as many bakeries as I can to try out. I bought a bunch of items from Le fournil and everything was top notch; I highly recommend this place. *Tomato pesto danish - this may have been the single best thing I put in my mouth all week, it was AMAZING. The pastry was perfectly crispy and soft at the same time, very buttery, intense savory pesto, you gotta get this! *Smoked turkey sandwich - the mixed greens and cranberry aioli were simple but perfect, the sandwich overall was really well balanced and the baguette was so good. *Almond croissant - had that same crispy and buttery flakiness as the danish and the sweet almond paste filling was generous. This was a standard almond croissant, but a really good one. *Lemon meringue tart - another standout winner, the shortbread crust was very crunchy and buttery, and the lemon filling was sharp and tart, just how I like it. The meringue on top may have been a tad sweet but it did pair really well with the sourness of the lemon curd. It tasted like a marshmallow meringue and the texture was beautiful. read more

After seeing this bakery on yelp, my friend and I decided to stop by as it is located close to several resorts in Canmore. We got the blueberry danish and almond croissant. They were both delicious. The almond flavor was not over-powering and the lamination on the croissant was so good. The blueberry flavor in the danish was fresh. The staff was kind and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the Canmore area. read more

Came in here to kill some time and for some sweet treats. We ordered various sweets that I don't remember the name of but I especially enjoyed the caramel glazed pear cake & strawberry desserts. We also had cafe mocha lattes which were pretty good. Nice strong coffee & well-made desserts. Overall a nice bakery to visit while on vacation in Canmore! read more

I think I had high expectations when visiting the bakery. I was expecting plenty of options for pastries. However, they only had different breads, croissants and baguettes. Not plenty of options for cake or pastries. But if you are visiting, I do suggest trying the croissants as they are good. There is a cute mini grocery inside the bakery. read more

This French bakery is a wonderful stop in Canmore. We stopped in later in the day, so many of the fresh baked goods were sold out, but what we did get was wonderful. Fresh, flaky croissants, and a delightful little cake called the Lady Grey. If you love Earl Grey tea, you will love this cake. I also picked out a ham and butter sandwich on a baguette and it was a perfect light lunch in the middle of the day. The shop wasn't busy and the lovely staff member helping us let me practice my very beginner French skills with her. I left with a smile and will definitely be back next time I'm in Canmore. read more
