This place is absolutely delicious! I received a gift card…read morefor here from a friend who raves about this place and goes here all the time. I used my gift card on a cup cake as seen in the photos that I took of it! They are all about being gluten free and egg free but I never really notice them being concerned with being lactose free. I have more money on my gift card so I'm hoping to go for breakfast there one morning soon!

I am a huge fan of Brown Sugar. I can only really speak to their cupcakes but that's because I…read morecan't resist buying them every time I'm near Brown Sugar. Their selection of cupcake flavours is always interesting and allows you to choose a selection to bring home with you. My favourite part of the cupcake is (obviously) the icing and Brown Sugar has some of the best. They also do a gluten-free option for a cupcake and it is a quite impressive feat to create such a moist and tasty GF cupcake. If you enjoy cupcakes, you have to grab some from Brown Sugar on your way by!

Lovely little bakery with plenty of charm and great eats. My husband and I were in town for a…read morewedding and had breakfast on the patio back to back over the weekend with our pup (it's dog friendly) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The one thing I would say stood out enough to detract from a 5-star experience was an overall lack of service. You order inside and they bring your food to you, but service is slow, and both days we noticed that the staff don't really engage patrons unless spoken to first. This can make it very hard to figure out exactly how to order, if seating is self-service (it is), etc. it was insanely hot when we visited, for example, and while one day we were able to get larger glasses for water, the next they refused to give anything larger than a glorified shot glass...despite serving our mimosas in the same larger glasses. Overall it just read of a young team that was slightly disconnected and not overly concerned with customer experience, and that's something that made things take longer than necessary and put a slight damper on an overall wonderful experience.

This bakery had a station at the Banff farmer's market. I tried the savory scone, garlic twist, and…read morepain au chocolat -- they were all delicious!

I'm sad that I live all the way in California because I would totally buy from this bakery all the time if I could :) The baked goods are made with sourdough starter too, which definitely makes them a healthy choice!

The reason they don't take cash.

Also, I'm old but who uses cash anymore like I get it you forgot your debit card cry me a river. Go to Covet you won't be disappointed.

Did not enjoy my experience here. The restaurant is marketed horrible and is not at all what we…read morewere expecting. The food was cold when is was suppose to be hot and wlity when it was suppose to be crisp. The staff was not well trained and mostly young kids, the manager is the owners daughter and not a good manager at all, certainly the wrong job position for her personality as she has no people skills and obviously unable to handle her temper when confronted on under cooked food. I never raise my voice nor fight, I also ensure I always tell managers whenever there has be wonder service, food and/or experience since then do not hear nearly enough positive but this is one case that it wouldn't matter if I yelled or spoke softly the manager was on defence from the moment she heard my food was still frozen. Overall a horrible experience slightly compensated after I physically searched down the owner of the businesses by going to the garden shop and requesting to speak with her directly.

You generally know what you get at a Starbucks, and in recent (tougher) times, I've found them to…read moregenerally be understaffed, with often painful lineups. In fact, when I'm working downtown Calgary, heading out for a coffee break to a Starbucks is best done over the lunch hour... because that's how long the trip might take you (I'm thinking of YOU, 839 5th Avenue)! This Okotoks location gets my vote because it's typically not that busy; it has adequate staff (friendly in my experience); and best of all: it has a drive thru! Now, a Starbucks drive-thru is a great idea in theory ... but it can sometimes be a bad thing in execution. Like, say, when you are stuck in the queue with 6 cars in front of you--each ordering heavily customized drinks for their entire office. (Note to Starbucks HQ: office orderers should have their own separate "lineup of shame!!" ) I guess that's one of the pluses about ordering out in the 'toks: fewer or non-existent group orders, so fewer line-hogs in the drive thru.

They also have different flavours anf kinds of honey that were all superb, they even had chocolate honey! We purchased mead and wine from them before,which were quite sweet, but were great dessert beverages. On our recent visit we bought some creamy unpasteurized honey, hand salve, honey lip chap, mini soap, and bath bomb. The honey is great, just love how creamy it is. The hand salve is amazing, it works great with my fiance's extremely dry hands and I just love the honey mint fragrance it has. The lip chap is great as well, it would be better if it actually tasted like honey, but it's still superb. Both the mini soap and bath bomb were both amazing as well, the soap we bought uses Saskatoon berries and smells really fruity (which we love). We didn't get to do the bee tour since we had other appointments, but we definitely recommend visiting the shop for all your honey cravings!
