Went at 11AM to buy sausage rolls as reviews for them were great. Unfortunately the staff said they wouldn't be available for at least an hour. I have purchased at this bakery several yeats ago so instead I bought mini raspberry donuts, poppyseed Danish and cinnamon buns. Both the raspberry donuts and the danish were very dry. Made me wonder if they were day old as it was only 11AM. Cinnamon buns were fresh but filling in the cinnamon buns and the raspberry donuts was scant. Family ate them but I definitely won't be back. Not the same quality anymore.

  • Carina Kwok

I adore cinnamon rolls and try them everywhere I go. The cinnamon ring is exactly what I love: a gooey bottom, soft white bread, plenty of cinnamon, and buttery layers. Sweet Home's actual rolls aren't my favorite because they are missing the gooey bottom. Other things we enjoyed were the flaky sausage roll, the extra rich leek and Parmesan Danish, and the flaky cherry turnover. The shop is a small one in the middle of a strip mall. It's all takeout - there's no seating around here unless you go to a park. Prices are very good for a bakery.

  • Paul Perrier

I was in for the first time today and the man behind the counter was very friendly and appreciative of my larger order. I was definitely not disappointed. The baked goods were very fresh and extraordinary. I can't wait to go back, whenever I have a sweet tooth they can take my money. Highly recommend, this is one of Calgary's hidden gems, well worth the drive regardless of where you live in the city. He also threw in extra's, which was not expected at all. The prices were also fantastic, high end pastries at grocery store prices.

  • Christopher Martin

Best chocolate dip doughnut in Calgary. I moved here from Edmonton and missed the Italian Bakery's dipped doughnut (likely best in the world!). So I searched throughout the Calgary for another. Not even the Italian bakery in Calgary has doughnuts for sale daily. And Tim Hortons tastes awful. SWEET HOME BAKERY has them and many other delicious things. They are as good as the ones I missed. Only thing that bums me out is I've gone there in the past and they're sold out. Bummer because I traveled from the far SE to get them.

  • Sese Gobain

I was so excited to visit this bakery given all the positive reviews however, customers should know that there is a considerable amount of product here that is purchased from Costco and re-sold with an upcharge as 'fresh baked goods' (several bars, raspberry cakes, pumpkin spice bites etc.). Macaroons are also outsourced. Also, the 4% fee they add on to credit cards is uncalled for since merchants only have to pay 2.65%. Original owners of this bakery are likely rolling in their graves. Scam.

  • Mehdi Bahonar

The owner is an excellent person and the products are A+. The owner gave us a very warm welcome in our first visit and gave few items to our 2 year-old son for free. At one instance, we ordered a birthday cake and when I was about to pick it up, it seemed he added walnuts which was not requested initially. After a long sincere apology, he gave us the cake (with additional two small cakes without walnut for our gust with allergy to walnut) at a discount. Overall, highly recommend this place.

  • Miss Kris

Wonderful local bakery! Friendly staff, lots of delectable made in house treats to choose from. The Eclairs are made with real cream and the apple strudel is flaky. I've never been disappointed. The only con I can come up with is they aren't open on Sundays.....Of course everyone deserves a day off so that doesn't really count! Also if you're looking for Saffron they often have little jars and extra local goodies in the small 1/2 fridge off to the side. Stop in, you'll be happy you did!

  • C L

Visit here was a mixed bag. There was not much selection for sweets and the gal working seemed to very inconvenienced by my purchase... BUT the prices were reasonable and the selection I purchased tasted amazing. This place has been in Bowness for ages. I haven’t been in a long time, but overall I was glad to return. UPDATE: visited this location several times since. Had a chance to speak to the owner who rectified the poor service. Service has been great since then. Upped to 5 stars

  • Lee Hollinger

Excellent bakery. Another one of the Bownesian staples. Has been here for more than 50 years and is still serving up sweet treats. The staff are friendly helpful and ready to serve up The goodies. From bread, cookies and Nanimo bars the have a vast selection. How ever they do not offer any cakes. I'm not sure why but no cake. They used to have a German chocolate cake that I would sell my frrst born for. But alass I have no children and they have no G.C.C. lol.

  • Rick Morcom

I picked up pastries and a Christmas Log for the big day and was not disappointed, well besides the fact that I forgot my sticky buns on the counter but that's another story and my fault. Absolutely delicious and devoured, all of it, the fluffy pastries went first and were the hit of the party until I brought out the Xmas Log for desert, which was to die for. Thank you so much for being the icing on Christmas day! Wonderful!

  • Cathy Moorhead

I haven’t been to this bakery since I was a child. Went there today and got some treats. Was expensive but from my memories I thought price was worth it. I bought a couple apple turnovers at $3 each and was very disappointed to find I was lucky if there was a tablespoon of apple filling in each if them. Pasty was delicious but filling wasn’t there. I this isn’t the same bakery quality it was years ago.

  • Alannah Pohran

I grew up in the neighbourhood and used to visit this bakery lots as a kid! I stopped by recently for some cheese buns and pastries, and was a little disappointed after finding out they were both stale and quite dry. I love the original recipes of their baked goods, and the staff was very kind. However I do feel that they might be leaving things out too long, otherwise not a bad experience.

  • Shaho Vat

Went just after opening to get some fresh bread, we bought a whole wheat loaf and some French bread. (Similar in shape to a baguette but not the same ingredients) We also bought a Napoleon pastry, which was quite good. Overall we were very satisfied with the breads and we will definitely return again. They also do some special order items so be sure to contact them for more info.

  • Christine Maurette

A gem! What an amazing selection of baked goods and had to try a few. Will be back to try more! Stumbled upon this bakery only because another place ran out of baked goods that I was looking for and then found this on Google maps. In the short time that I was here, there were so many other customers that came in. Clearly a very popular spot and I'm so happy I found this place!

  • Babak Aydenlou

"My wife, my son and I had the pleasure of having your crusty, creamy and satisfying sweetness of Napoleon, creamy puff and rollet. I have found the perfect cheese bread, sausage roll bread by far!  By the way, our lunch was also wonderful (I had your garlic and scallions panini - fantastic!) and we are excited to become regular customers.  Thank you again" Long live Soheil

  • Mohsen Kamalzadeh

After their fabulous Persian products at Tabestoon Fest we thought we would just go and buy some of the delicious Persian pastry. But it turns out they only make them on special order. So we just got a pack of four Cinnamon rolls which turned out to be completely stale; at least two days old I would say. Two stars because the owner was very nice and gave us a discount.

  • Taraneh Ghaffari

I ordered a birthday cake from here after a friend told me how great this place is. The cake was fantastic!!! They listened very closely to my requirements and specifications. The came exceeded all my expectations and was amazing. Everyone loved it. The sponge, the dairy whipped cream and the fruit were fresh and so delicious. This place will be my go to!

  • Robyn Keller

I was pleasantly surprised to find a bakery in my home area that can compete with the other popular bakeries around town. This small shop has a huge selection of fresh pastries, breads, and desserts. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend a stop here if you're in the area and have a sweet tooth!

  • Meagan Gautreau

This shop is so cute and the baked goods are absolutely delicious! I ordered a birthday cake for my boyfriend from here and not only did it taste AMAZING and was beautifully decorated, it was cheaper than their competitors! I get my boyfriend a custom birthday cake every year and this is one of the best for sure. Thank you :)

  • picassochis

I am from Edmonton and enjoy stopping in here before getting onto highway 1 for the mountains. Love their cream filled eclairs especially, and their other pastries. I like how the store seems down to earth and not super fancy, but has quality products with good ingredients and reasonable prices!!

  • Zoe Eee

Our faves are french horn and cream puffs. We try to get a different pastry but when we're indecisive those are our go to picks. Come check out this quaint bakery. Staff are nice, desserts tasty and the ambiance give you a fuzzy feeling. It also feels like you're in an old school bakery ❤

  • Delaney McNaughton

I love this place! It has turned into my go to for bread as it is very good and really well priced. Other favourites that I have tried so far are the cream puffs and sausage rolls. I can't wait to try more of their baking! Also the staff here are so friendly and inviting!

  • Radu Luchian

Awesome bakery! Great selection at tiny prices, especially compared to other bakeries we use around Calgary. You can even buy dough for homemade pizza or garlic bread. We'll definitely go back when we go to Baker park for bike rides or Bow river floats.

  • Scott Dellinger

What a great little bakery! Stopped in after my booster appointment at the pharmacy in the same building and couldn't resist getting a bunch of treats for myself and my family. Absolutely delicious! And the staff were so friendly. Highly recommend!

  • Kathryn Pisko-Dubienski

Cute little bakery. Everything I have tasted is delicious, especially the cinnamon buns. Staff are courteous and friendly. Mostly sweet items and break but a few specialty savoury items. Feel and looks like it has been around for a very long time!

  • Andy Moon

First time at this bakery and I picked up 4 cinnamon rolls to be shared with family and they turned out to be completely stale. I should’ve felt them before leaving the store but they were also hard to the touch. The staff were friendly at least.

  • Somaieh Beladi

I had an amazing experience ordering my daughter’s birthday cake from Home Sweet Bakery. Design was exactly what I described over the phone and the cake was so delicious. All the guests loved it too. Highly recommend this place to my friends.

  • Dena Barmas

Possibly the best cake I have tasted in Calgary. Ordering was easy and they made a Canadian flag cake in a timely manner. You can order via Skipthedishes and Doordash apps as well. My diet is suffering ever since I found this store.

  • Elshan

I love this place. All bakery items are fresh and very moist. You'll never regret visiting here.I have orderes cakes from here a few times for birthday and family occasion have always received a great and unique design. Really delicious.

  • Grayson Pratt

Staff are so friendly and I can only assume they are greeting me with a smile under their masks! The treats are fantastic and it’s a lovely spot to stop for a bite or a tasty pastry after skating at the skatepark across the road!

  • elahe lotfi

I wanted to thank Soheil and the staff for the gorgeous and high-quality four-stori wedding cake. It was fresh, tasty and accurate to our request. They are very friendly and kind. Highly recommend them for your next events.

  • Ben H

Greatest pasteries in the city, the Napoleon is what you must try. Tried a few other ones which were also phenomenal. Everything was exceptional but maybe some seats and coffee would complete the experience.

  • Kourosh Adib

This place is: OH so good I want to order everything on the shelves. Also I realized the breads are cheaper than most other places. Make sure you don’t leave without the Cream Puffs and the Napoleons...!

  • Fariba Mahmoudkhani

I had a great experience, ordering a birthday cake. I had to change my order last minute and they were very flexible and accommodating. The cake was ready on-time and it looked and tasted amazing!

  • Jade Perez

What a lovely hidden gem - I moved into Bowness not to long ago and I’ve been meaning to stop by. I wish I’ve done it sooner! The baked goodies, amazing! The donut are my favourite by far!

  • Nick Lima

This place has excellent cheese buns and real cream filled delights including cream horns, cream puffs and eclair. The custard filled treats like napoleons and lemon bars are to die for!

  • Daniela Velásquez Garzón

The food met normal expectations, nothing out of the ordinary. Had a Jamaican Patty and I would have liked to have the option to heat it up, it was cold . Service could improve. …

  • Jamie G-C

Fantastic food! The people are so kind and helpful, and everything in there is both delicious, and reasonably priced! It was a little dangerous living so close while I was pregnant!

Friendly staff and owner, delicious baked goods (definitely try some savory pastries), very affordable and they often have bread on sale for half off! Worth driving for 100%

  • Farin Darabnia

You cant find a better bakery in Calgary. The staff are amazing, they are so freindly and helpful. I love all the pastries but you must try Napoleon, Eclair and cream puff.

  • Laurie Fried

Love this little gem. The chain bakeries, big box store bakeries just don't cut it. It is worth the drive to get their bread, buns and good selection of sweets. Love it!

  • Alejandro Vargas Lumbreras

Found it getting lost in Calgary. Had one of the savoury danishes and definitely surprised me. Packed with flavour, flaky, warm, fresh. Calgary hidden gem for sure.

Well-priced, delightfully retro bakery with plenty of tasty baked goods, though the highlight for me has to be their poppy seed butterhorns! - Mimi's Cake Tour

Maybe I was just hungry but the chocolate glazed donut was insanely good. Just fresh and perfect texture. Can't wait to try the macarons I'm saving for later.
