We haven't been to Pablo Cheese Tart since we tried it back in Japan. They specialize in Japanese cheesecakes. You'll find them tucked away from the main strip on Whyte Ave. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 3:00pm). There's three small tables outside along with a few more inside. Service is friendly and patient. Their selection is small but includes Japanese cheesecake, cheese tarts, soft serve and drinks. - Twist soft serve ($7.50) - scarlet red premium strawberry and Japanese dark roasted black sesame. We opted for the charcoal cone. Decent texture but I was hoping for stronger, bolder flavours. - Basque cheesecake ($14.99) - we brought this to a dinner party and it was a hit. Perfect to share for four. Good texture and not too sweet. If you've never tried this Japanese chain, Pablo's is worth a visit. 3.5 stars.

I've wanted to try Pablos since spotting them in Japan, but my husband never lets me wait in line for them. I was excited to finally get the opportunity to try one here, although the line up here was much much MUCH longer than what I would've waited in in Japan. (and to answer your question: no, the wait is not worth it) The cheesetarts aren't made in house; they're brought in frozen from somewhere, so the quality isn't quite there. I had a couple of cheese tarts that were looking pretty dry and cracking upon purchase. I had purchased the strawberry daifuku (the daifuku was hard and doughy, would've been nice if there was a filling to it), the blueberry (dry and cracking; nice blueberry flavor), the apple cinnamon (just a plain cheese tart with an apple pie filling on top) and the mango (poor packaging, the mango sauce spilled all over the place in the box). Not really keen on the customer service either. I had called and left a message with a question about a promotion on their website, but nobody bothered to return my call. To sum up: I wouldn't wait in that long of a line up for them; they're nothing special.

Basque Cheesecake

Originally from Japan, this famous chain has finally made its way to Edmonton. There was lots of hype about this place when it first opened a few weeks ago and there were long line ups of people hoping to try some of their desserts. I waited until the hype died down a bit and have visited this place twice. The first time I went around 4:45pm on Saturday right after it rained and waited only 5 minutes. Unfortunately, all their big cakes were sold out by then so I could only try their small tarts. I wasn't too impressed by the small tarts. The shell was too hard and the inside was just okay. I liked that there were different flavours but they weren't anything mind blowing. The Lychee Slush was refreshing and had real lychee inside but wasn't worth the price. The second time I went around 2pm on a Saturday. I was able to buy the Original Big Cheese tart and the Basque Cheesecake. These were delicious and worth the hype. The basque was my favourite and had a more traditional cheesecake taste. The original big cheese tart had a crunchy shell and a more liquidity soft center. It doesn't taste like a traditional cheese cake but was very yummy. Note that the shell of the big cake is different from the shell of the small tarts. Overall, I really liked the big cakes here and would buy them again. I wasn't too big of a fan of the small tarts.

Original and daifuku  4.50 to $4.75 each

Flakey crust and flavourful cheesey centre. Really enjoyed the textures in these treats! Also there is a spacious area to sit down

I love following this page but unfortunately we don't make it into the city to try these places as soon as we'd like. We stopped in today and each had a cone of I believe ube x cheese. It was unbelievable. It's a very cute location just off of whyte. The service was great. Will definitely be back!

The 6 Mini Tart Pack
Garrett M.

To start the only reason I was unable to give this place five stars is because of the price, $25 for six tarts in my opinion is a little too much. That being said the tarts were delicious so if six tarts is worth $25 to you then no issues. The six flavours we got were: The Original Mango Chocolate Tiramisu Apple Cinnamon Roasted Marshmallow My favourite out of the six was definitely the roasted marshmallow, it reminded me of those wagon wheel treats we had as kids. The two people working were amazing, super friendly, and very helpful after they knew this was our first visit to their location.

If you want to find the best mini cheesecake tarts, this is the place for you! This was our first visit here and I definitely will return to try many more flavours. I was able to grab a six pack box of mini tarts for $25. They also have bigger sizes for sharing portions as well. The store front is hiding a block off whyte ave and definitely worth the hunt. They have a few tables available for seating and angled parking spots in front of the store.

Three bags for Vancouver friends!!

THE freshest tastiest sourdough breads in Edmonton. One of…read moremy favourite locally-owned and operated businesses, a trip to this bakery after night shift is one of the highlights of my week. Service is always friendly. The store is often busy with a line out the door, especially on Friday and Saturday after 9 a.m. Here's a few tips to be a better patron and have a better experience: Breads can be ordered online for quick in-store pickup. Some items are made daily, some on certain days only, it's all listed online. They will slice your bread in the store for you if you like. Come as close to opening as possible for best selection, especially on one-off days, e.g. - bagels made only on Wednesdays sell out quickly. They also have a lovely European and Canadian cheese selection! Consider browsing their current cheeses online, as there are many beautiful cheeses but no space to really ogle at them in the store. Come in prepared to avoid hovering for too long in the small customer space. There are a couple other regular non-bread items, like honey, traditional dijon, coffee beans, rillettes/terrine, French butter and recently a small selection of deli meat. One could almost make a mixed charcuterie plate after a quick visit here. Parking behind the business is tight but doable. Street parking is available within quick walking distance in the adjacent neighbourhood. Only d-bags park right out front on 99 Ave, thus blocking an entire lane of traffic. I've noticed it's usually mid-age women in expensive SUVs. Goes with the hood I guess. Eat high-quality bread and be happy!

There is also a wonderful selection of chews and you can also get coffee here. Don't worry if there is a lineup, the staff is efficient. My favourite is the pumpkin seed loaf.

So I grabbed a fruit cocktail cake from Hong Kong Bakery. It was Chinatown Dining week. Which is…read moresuch good bang for your buck. Also, it gives highlight to an delicious food scene, which otherwise can be overlooked because of the area of town that Chinatown is located in. I really believe in the area, and even if it is not Chinatown Dining Week, I still go there often because the food is amazing (at numerous places on 96th street), and the families who have food establishments are really friendly, and care about they do. The staff here are friendly and care about what they do, (as all of the other locations on the street), but english is not their first language, so be patient! The women here running the bakery were fantastic, but we needed to do some charades to get what we wanted. Our fruit cocktail cake was only 20 bucks (for downtown dining week, it is slightly higher regularly), which is cheaper than many Costco cakes. It was so delicious. Light and fluffy, full of fruit and delectable whipped cream. I am not a super sweet fan, but I had three pieces of cake the first night. So lovely. They also have a tonne of other baked goods that are worth checking out. You should. Check out Chinatown. Check out the food. And check out the people that are in this resilient community.

Lots of good baked goods to get here, including buns filled with sweet and savoury goodness, egg…read moretarts, and cakes. I don't think I have had something here that I didn't think was ok to good. My issue the last time was that they add the prices in their head and didn't issue a receipt. They usually use a calculator but I don't recall if they ever give a receipt from the til. This time they didn't use and charged almost $30 for baked goods, which I think was a few dollars off. My suggestion is if you go, add up the items beforehand or ask for a receipt to ensure the price charged is what it should be.

Popular Bakery has it's name cut out for it, on the corner with it's big bold black sign with 3…read moredifferent names making it super confusing for any newbies out here. I didn't quite know what to expect walking in, if it was more of a takeout bakery style or a sit down and enjoy sandwich and chicken eatery? Well, we got to try it out and 100% more of a take out shop than anything else. Similar setup to Handy with breads and desserts displayed on the center glass counter display with a few shelves on the side acting as a mini market, the backboard had a few food food items but nothing special. The space is roomier with plenty of seating, but with a feeling of more of a concrete room as opposed to being more welcoming as Handy. We left with a few Portuguese tarts and they were cold? She didn't offer to warm them up or anything either, so my cold tarts were pretty disappointing. Though the filling did taste really good. Maybe we need to visit again on a busier peak time for some better service? Not in a rush to try this place again though.

Popular Bakery is many things - including living up to its name. It is a bakery, grocery store,…read moresandwich shop, cafe, and hang out, all in one. Located on Alberta Avenue, Popular Bakery fits well into the multicultural atmosphere of the area as a Portuguese bakery and restaurant. One of the few places where one can sit with a cup of coffee and enjoy conversation with friends (except when community coffeehouse The Carrot is open), Portuguese Bakery sells fresh baked goods, sandwiches made to order, and a few hot entree items such as Portuguese flame-grilled chicken and pork. A cooler contains a variety of beverages, both domestic and imported from Portugal, and there are a few short aisles of groceries, again, mostly Portuguese. Despite being large and spacious, tables are precious few. I can imagine this place getting very full at lunch time, and doing a mostly take-out business. I was there around four in the afternoon, and the tables were around half full, mostly with older Portuguese men and women sitting around enjoying coffee and pastries, speaking in their mother tongue. My server was Portuguese, and I really felt like I had stepped into another culture - which is exactly what I want when I am visiting an ethnic establishment. I ordered a quarter chicken meal with french fries (my other choice was rice) and a salad (which comes with the meal). I was asked if I wanted my food served regular or spicy and I opted for regular. My food was brought out to me a few minutes later, and consisted of a large plate almost overflowing with chicken, fries, and salad. The salad was a mix of vegetables in a light, almost Italian style vinagrette with a bit of a salty kick to it. The fries were average, but crispy. I thought perhaps they might make their own here, but I was wrong. The chicken, however, was the star of the show. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, the meat was infused with a tangy season mix in oil, accented with salt and garlic. The grilled flavour of the chicken came through as well. Instead of giving me an entire dark or white quarter, I had a wing, a chunk of thigh, and two chunks of white meat. I enjoyed the variety, and it also made the meal easier to eat. For dessert, I decided to try one of the many tempting treats in the bakery's showcase. An egg tart is a standard Portuguese favourite of mine and they were here, but looked rather burned. Some of the other items, such as danishes, eclairs, and other pastries looked delicious, but a bit too much to follow the meal I had. I opted for what looked like a smaller dessert - a slice of caramel pudding. As soon as my server handed me the plate, I thought my arm would drop. It was heavy for such a small slice! I also had a cup of coffee to accompany my dessert and keep me occupied as I finished reading a book. The pudding reminded me of the filling of an egg tart, very firm in texture. The caramel part was probably the light syrup at the bottom of the slice, which tasted more like a lightly burned sugar than caramel. It was good, though, and it took me a while to fork my way through it. The big disappointment of the afternoon was the coffee. It was very, very average. However, it was also inexpensive. The price for a meal is in the $7-$10 range. The sandwiches are on fresh bread or rolls and include a variety of meats. There is also soup. I plan to come here again to have more chicken and try the rice. Portuguese Bakery closes daily at 6:00 p.m. and is closed on Sundays.
