Wanted to try their roulettes after finding out about them. They are decent but I found the sponge cake could be a little softer and fluffier. The cream was nice and the added fruit was excellent. For $4.5 you get a decent sized roulette. read more

I found a hair in this Swiss roll and I called to tell them , but the owner didn't care. It was so disgusting. I threw everything out in that same box. I would never go back or recommend this place to anyone. Their pastries are overpriced. Please don't go there. read more

Orchid Pastry - I found a piece of hair in this Swiss roll. - Desserts Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

We bought a Christmas Yule Log for my wife's Christmas birthday. This was a case of reality far exceeding expectations. We saw the image on their website but it looked way better in person. I suspected it was going to be good what we didn't expect was that it was going to be AMAZING!! We also bought a box of assorted macaroons that created a feeding frenzy. Too bad I can't give Orchid Pastry six stars read more

Excellent pastry shop tucked in a little strip mall along NW Centre Street. I appreciate the location of this pastry shop because you can purchase excellent quality desserts without having to drive across the city and go downtown where most French inspired pastry shops are often located. You must try the tiramisu pastry ball, hands down my favourite dessert there. The fruit flavoured mousse desserts are elderly/Asian friendly because my 90 year old grandma often enjoys treats that are easy on the tummy, light and not heavy tasting and, "not too sweet" (Bonus points in my books.) The prices ranges between $3.00-$5.00, which is affordable for delicate, high quality pastries. You can tell that a lot of work and effort is put into the detailing and design of their goodies! My money is well spent for the effort and quality, as I would never be able to make these masterpieces myself! read more

Orchid Pastry is the best kept secret in the NW. Hidden amongst the most unassuming of strip shops along Centre St and 64th, you wouldn't know you passed by quite possibly the best Pastry Shop in town if you were driving by. This sweet shop prepares exquisite hand made French/Persian delights from pastries, to bake goods and even cakes. You can order a box of sweets, cake slices, and other sugary delectables. Cakes will need an order as they prepare them on an order basis although they do have smaller log cakes. What I love about the sweets here is that Orchid Pastry's technique is different from nearly every other shop in town: their desserts are not overly sweet but still incredibly delicious, the cakes/slices are moist and not powdery dry, and they use fresh, real ingredients. Just one bite of anything and you'll taste what I'm talking about. I should also mention that customer service is always solid here, it's always kind, courteous service with a smile. Keep in mind that with this level of quality comes an acceptable premium in price. These aren't your safeway or superstore cakes so be prepared to drop a fair amount on these desserts/cakes if you're thinking about ordering one for a party (you should be thinking of / making up an event that calls for one of these delights -- "60 hour work week celebratory cake, anyone?"). Final word about this place: get up, drive here, try their sweets, and spread the word so that Orchid Pastry is no longer Calgary's best kept secret! read more

Orchid Pastry - A slice of their Strawberry Vanilla Cake, looks almost too good to eat! - Desserts Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Yikes... working so close to Orchid Pastry is a health hazard! Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, you would never know this charming Persian bakery existed. I especially enjoy Orchid's pastries because they are not overly sweet and light. My favourite items to get are their variety boxes (about $15-$20) that contains 3 vanilla jelly rolls, 3 cappuccino jelly rolls, and either 3 napoleons or 3 tiramisu. They also make baklava, canoli, puddings, and a variety of Persian cookies. The sponge cake of the jelly rolls are moist with a light cream filling. So far, the napoleons are the best ones I've had, with flaky puff pastry and a whipped vanilla custard-like cream. The tiramisu is also in my category of favourites, with moist layers of coffee soaked cake surrounded by a light chocolate cream. The cookies are about $1.60/each or cheaper for half a dozen or dozen (~$10). Highly recommend any of their buttery shortbread cookies especially the fruit filled sandwich ones or walnut with icing sugar. Other baked items to try are the: chocolate wafer; berenj (Persian rice cookie) with poppy seeds; and this chewy almond sandwich cookie with vanilla that looks and has a texture of a macaron. If you're in the area, stop by Orchid Pastry for delectable pastries and cakes. Definitely will not disappoint! read more

Should you not want to venture all the way downtown for your pastry, this is the place to try. I've been twice and the service has been courteous and efficient each time, the staff are friendly and patient should you take some time to decide (such as in my case). The macaroons are not melt in your mouth amazing quality, however their cream puffs and other pastries are definitely something to try. It's not too pricy and they do offer a quality catering service. However, the shop is smaller on the inside and not good for more than 4-5 customers at a time. There is no outdoor or indoor seating-more of a grab and go experience. read more

I felt the need to venture down the rabbit hole and explore this foreign store with the exotic name when it caught my attention one day. I asked myself, "Was this always here?" I walked in and chatted with the lady behind the counter. She was the sous-pastry chef and they've been around since 2009. They recently made the sign bigger (I guess bigger IS better!! Lol. It worked on me.) The inside is decorated in French classic style with a cute chandelier and trimmings. The atmosphere already screams, "TAKE MY MONEY!". The display case may look small but it's full of tasty French delights. I always pick up a piece of German Chocolate Cake, their signature Rollets and Tiramisu. Now I know who to blame when my skinny jeans won't fit me anymore. The sous-pastry chef informed me they use real fresh cream in all their pastries, nothing processed. You can definitely taste their craftsmanship: the desserts are light and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness. The price is $3.50/pastry but it drops to $3/pastry when you buy 6. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for: outstanding quality. They also do cakes for any occasion and recently started doing wedding cakes. I wish I discovered Orchid Pastry much sooner. It's a neighborhood gem, and is worth stopping by if you're in the area. They're so good, they're gonna make muffin tops of us all!!! Hahahaha!! read more

Orchid Pastry - Inside! So cute! - Desserts Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Orchid is a classy Persian pastry shop tucked into the corner of a less than classy strip mall. You would never know it's there unless you're really looking, but not knowing about it is a shame, which is how I felt when I walked in the door for the first time today. The owner said it's been open for three years. If you have someone to impress, Orchid will do so with its pastry presentation alone. I ended up choosing three items to sample and spent $4. Not bad, as these pastries are somewhat elaborate. The jam pastry I chose was made with raspberry, so the taste and texture reminded me of the jam jams that my grandma used to make, but fancier. The chocolate wafer was good too, but less sweet than I was expecting. Sort of like Tiramisu. The Cappuccino bite size cake looks like a cupcake, but it's not. It was very spongy and I should have used a fork to eat it. It also wasn't overly sweet but had all the right tastes for a coffee-flavored desert without being overwhelming. For an extreme sweet tooth like myself, these deserts didn't quite satisfy, but they are very good. I imagine that other treats have more sugar. I'm tempted to return for a log cake (they look amazing) or maybe even custom order a birthday cake. The website is also simple and classy, which is nice. Here you can see they have a few other interesting desserts and a second location at the Calgary Farmer's Market. read more

Orchid Pastry - Bite size Cappuccino cake, jam pastry and chocolate wafer - Desserts Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The presentation of the baked goods is nicely displayed in a glass window. However I don't like how this bakery is not transparent about disclosing all the ingredients that go in their baked goods. This bakery does not understand the importance of allergies for young children. Asking them; "what are the ingredients inside of this cake"? Is like pulling teeth because they don't know what is inside the pastries that they are selling and they are very reluctant to tell uS. read more

Delicious swiss rolls! I ordered an assortment and they were absolutely perfect. Delicious and beautiful presentation. Highly recommend!

OMG ......the pastry here are amazing. My boyfriend surprised me with a variety pack filled with four different type of pastries. Each one look way too pretty to eat. The tiramisu here is one of the best I've had. Really light and fluffy with a perfect amount of coffee flavour. The jelly rolls were soft and fluffy; not overly sweet. I definitely will be going back. read more

My boyfriend took me here last Saturday telling me how good their strawberry rollets were. Unfortunately, we got there in the late afternoon so they were all so out. Therefore, we bought their variety pack for $16.99, which I think is a pretty good deal. The pack contained 3 Neapolitan rollets, 3 cappuccino rollets and 2 pistachio napelonis. I'll be looking forward to my next visit there. read more

Delicious and classy. Inexpensive but makes tou feel like a queen. Incredibly friendly workers.

First off she used her bare hands to touch my food and then placed the food items right on the dirty counter.

I went here last week, and bought some macarons and that german chocolate cake, it was so good and the service is good too :) definitely recommending it to my friends. read more

Just about 2 weeks ago, when I was visiting my parents at Calgary, I found this little bakery 5 mins away from my mom's house. I walk in and saw a lot of yummy goodness. Funny thing is my mom don't even know about this place, and it has been open for more then 2 years. I got to talk to the lady working there, she told me her bakery is persian style, which I never had before. She introduce me to a few things. I definitely love it. I also make my mom a fan of this bakery too. read more

Got a selection of pastries. Couldn't decide which was most delicious! Convenient location with lots of parking too.

I was planning a birthday party for my mother, and having recently moved back to Calgary after living in Texas for 15 years, I was unfamiliar with the local bakeries. A quick google search and a check on Yelp led me to Orchid Pastry, a locally owned shop in a strip mall on Centre street not too far from my house. Their website gave me a good idea of the types of pastries they offer, and I was sold when I saw that they make a tiramisu cake with real fresh cream. I ordered a 1/2 sheet for $70 which could probably feed about 35 people and was very impressed when I went to go pick it up. The cake was gorgeous, and the flavour was everything I had been dreaming about since I ordered the cake a few days earlier. Light, fluffy layers of cake sandwiched between light, creamy layers of espresso flavored tiramisu goodness. Everyone at the party loved it (most importantly, my mother), and wanted to know where it came from. I was happy to refer them to Orchid. I will order from them again and can't wait to go back to try some of the other pastries they serve in the shop! read more

Awesome sweets beautiful presentations. Try tasty and delicious baklavas or kolooche's. Love it!

They have the best pastry and ice cream (only two wonderful ice cream types though) in Calgary. So many times I've bought pastry from other places and have had to just throw it away because it tasted like crap, but that is not going to happen in Orchid. I love their pastry and ice cream! read more
