Customers beware of Tips scam at this store! With the skyrocketing inflation, grocery prices have been going up like crazy! Wow bakery is no exception, their bakery prices went up fairly much lately. Like shopping grocery else where lin SuperStore, Safeway, Co-op, Costco...etc. Nobody will pay tips when checking out as those were customers self-served practices. There is no reason to tip the cashier! But it happened twice within last 2 weeks when I purchased some bakery stuffs at the Calgary Royal Oak Wow Bakery, the first time when I paid with my credit card, I pushed the "Skip" button as a common practice on their Credit card machine to avoid tipping them for no reason, but after hitting the "Skip" button twice, there was no reaction , the sales lady said you have to hit harder and I did that again, still no reaction, then the lady quickly hit the button for me and it worked, but she didn't give me the receipt until I asked fot it. I did not check the receipt right there and then until I got home. I found there was a few dollars charged as tips on the receipt. Today I bought againt at the same Wow Bakery, and the "Tips Skip" button didn't work again, and the saleslady did the same trick on the Credit card machine, this time I also needed to request to get the receipt before she gave it to me, and found a few dollars again were charged as tips on it. Although she reluctantly refunded the tips amount to me, and loss of just a few dollars is really no big deal, but I think it is a matter of principle that every merchant should run their business in an ethical and honest way. It is quite likely some tricks had been played on the "TIPS Skip" button intentionally in their credit card machine to fool the customers. Just hope Wow Bakery Head quarter will look into this matter before their organization reputation will be ruined by one or two bad franchisee. Thank you.

(I've always just used their online cake delivery services for all past cake purchases and the recipients have always been so happy with the quality and taste of their cakes) Great to see that a WOW Bakery location has opened up near me in the NW at Royal Oak. Grabbed an Earl Gray cake for my friend's birthday and a few other pastries. After paying for the cake, I placed it on the sandwich display table (to wait for the WOW coffee). I thought it was glass covered, it wasn't, and the cake toppled over. OOPS! Cake was only slightly damaged, nothing major at all. Chelsey saw my big oopsie and insisted on replacing the cake. That was completely unexpected and over the top, extraordinary WOW Customer Service!! My friend is from England, loves Earl Gray tea and doesn't have a sweet tooth at all. She texted me that night, "I don't normally eat much cake, but I had TWO big slices". The next morning, another text from her, "I did have more cake. Highly recommend'. My friend will definitely be checking WOW Bakery soon!! We are also coffee snobs and my husband and I were very impressed with their WOW Coffee and the 3 other pastries we bought that day. So happy this opened by me, as this will be my go-to bakery from now on!

Neat little bakery, cafe and Korean fried chicken place on Royal Oaks. Covid limitations means there is no seating inside the store but plenty of outdoor seating (no heat lamps though). The Wow Chicken half doesn't open till 11am but the Bakery/Cafe is open earlier. The chiffon cakes are amazing, light, flavourful and wonderfully moist. The sandwiches are also well made with enty of filling, if a little expensive for what it is. The croissants of various flavours and pastries are well proportioned and well presented. Coffees and drinks are also of a good standard. The fried chicken was moist and well flavoured (tried the shallot and soy garlic). The shallot chicken is seemingly simple with plain battered fried chicken and sliced green oniona but the combo is delicious. Cooking time is a bit slow but as each order is made fresh this is understandable. wait times can be around 20min.

Met up with two friends to grab some baked goods and drinks for afternoon tea (and some buns for later). The hibiscus tea was sweet and fragrant. My friend said the Wow Coffee was good but the size was very small for $5. People rave about their cream cheese mochi buns. I tried their original and blueberry ones but am not a big fan. I do recommend trying them out to experience what they are. They sell out quickly so grab one when you get there. My favourite is their almond croissant. It's super crispy and buttery with a crunchy top (the best part). The green tea croissant is not bad and has strong flavour. The green tea cream bun has lots of fillings for anyone who loves green tea. Overall, the price is a bit expensive (mochi buns are $3.50 and up). I would come back to try out their chicken and hot menu another time.

I love their Cakes and just recently found out that all their cakes either backed with Alcohol or Pork Gelatin. I am very disappointed . It is been since they open and I am visiting them and never came across my mind to ask if there is Alcohol or Pork Gelatin. They labeled it very recently. The place is nice and I enjoyed their good. The backry mostly fresh except a few incidents which is normal to happen I think. Their drinks are good. The restaurant side is good too. I tried the shrimp katsu and love it. Last Visit was over cooked but overall, the place is. Price wise I think they are kinda expensive and I feel maybe because of the location. I enjoyed trying their Korean skincare and it is super . I always buy my face masks from them.

True to the name, this trendy Korean bakery actually wowed me. It’s definitely a destination spot that has a lot to offer- desserts, drinks, sandwiches, baguette sandos, Korean small gifts and even curated beauty products. The experience of the interior design is well worth the stop in, and there’s even a shaded raised deck outside to chill. My ham/cheese/apple croissantwich was very filling and the quality is 5-star. The red bean sweet buns were amaze, I later found out that the red bean is specially imported so it’s not overly sweet either. It’s up in the northwest if you’re ever wandering around this part of the city, and surrounded by other Korean stores, groceries, and restaurants, and Wow Korean FC is right next door. Try it out!

  • Thanh Huynh

Updated 2023: They now offer Donuts!!! Omg.. the best donut in Calgary!!!! I've tasted many, this is the best so far. Perfect amount of sweetness, filling, the dough is light and airy .. must try!! Favorite filling was the Earl Grey!! We love the WOW bakery ever since it opened. Now that it opened up close to our house is a real treat. This bakery cafe location is larger than other places with a patio and sitting area. Everytime we're near this place, we gotta order our Korean coffee fixing (Dalgona coffee). Nice strong coffee with a hint of toffee candy to sweeten up. Their bakery goods are incredibly delicious. They are known for their garlic bread, not your typical garlic bread, but with a hint of sweetness.

  • Rory Edgar

We drove across the city to order Katsu for dinner. We were greeted by a young lady at the cashier counter. She didn't even say hello to us and immediately stated that they're no longer serving Katsu because the kitchen is closing. Only a limited menu was available. It was 6:50pm. The hours says they were open to 7:30pm. I asked her why they say there open until 7:30, but we can't order items off the menu. She responded. I'm only a cashier I don't make those decisions. Well ok then. We left. It was a very disappointing customer experience and we likely won't return. Do better and change your hours to reflect what you actually work so you don't disappoint your clientele.

  • Vic Yung

Went multiple times on weekdays in the morning and the afternoon and it was not overly busy. There is usually a short wait in line to pay and order, but nothing inconvenient. The bakery has their full selection of other locations and you are also able to order cafe items like drinks and their croffle. Ordered a matcha latte and dalgona coffee. Both had strong flavors and were not overly sweet. They pair well with both sweet and savory items from the bakery. There is both indoor and outdoor seating that is shared with the WOW Katsu connected to it. Big fan of the chocolate croissant and the tiramisu croissant as well. The ham and cheese danish is also worth trying.

  • Katherine DeCoste

We were so excited when we know Wow Cafe opens right by our neighborhood. After we tried their bakery, WOW! IS the same taste as their first location, very consistent with the quality you can really tell the owner put much thought and care to their brand and quality. The photo is their earl grey roll cake and double chocolate roll cake, red bean cream bun and cookies & cream macaron. All tasty and fresh but not too sweet (we used to go to safeway and cobs, waaaaaaay too sweet) definitely going back for more. Highly recommend their macarons, we got 2 boxes for different family occasions and they were all gone before we can even take photos

  • Carissa Liu

Disappointing. I had their curry katsu and tteotbokki. The food was pricey, probbaly because the wow franchise is generally a little bit pricey. The feel of the resturant side felt like I was walking into an elementary school cafeteria from the 90s.. Personally I feel like I can make a better curry katsu at home so it felt like a rip off to go out to have it. The tteotbokki was decent and it packed some heat so if you're a spicy fan then I'd recommend giving it a try. I got there approximately 1:30pm on a sunday and the bakery side didn't have much bakery goods either. So overall I felt underwhelmed and slightly disappointed.

  • JP Tinio

I was shocked to find out that they had a cafe or kitchen here. I've always gone to wow bakeries at other sections of the city and love what they have to offer. The kitchen however has some really good items. I first tried the chicken burger and the fried I forgot which style but man they're tasty fries. The burger was perfectly breaded and juicy as well with a good portion for cost. 2nd visit here I'l experienced the Tonkatsu I believe the breaded pork. This was a very unique tasting dish and would certainly go back for it. Restaurant clean and staff is very friendly strongly recommend to eat here or try it out.

  • Sabrina K

Great food!! Only thing I didn’t like is that I ordered their matcha latte and it did not taste like matcha. Very sweet and I did not taste much matcha. They say every cafe has sugar mixed into the matcha powder. But I’ve worked at Starbucks and our matcha powder is just matcha powder, there is no sugar mixed into it. And I’ve been drinking matcha for years and this is the first place I’ve ever ordered a matcha latte that doesn’t taste like matcha. Or just very minimal matcha. But over all, besides that, great experience and the food is amazing!!! Staff is really kind and customer service was amazing❤️❤️

  • nicole serrano

Today the man who is in charge in the cashier wasn’t very nice. We were looking at mugs and tumbler in the store when he yelled at us “are you ready to pay now!?” While giving us an angry stare..we are not even chatting loudly, our appearance is also decent. I don't know why he is giving us that stare and that kind of treatment. We ended up just getting only bread, we were supposed to buy tumbler for gift and dalgona latte but we don’t trust that guy, he might put dirt in our coffee before giving it to us or make fun of our drinks, the way he looked at us was very strange.

  • Christian I

This is possibly one of the best bakeries I have visited. Although it may be expensive (most items are around 3-4 dollars), I would say that it is worth the money. From their selection, I have had the custard bun, the red bean and whipped cream bun, as well as their croissants. They also sell cakes which are quite tasty. All of their items are made fresh daily and there is usually a pretty good selection, even if you visit closer to noon. All in all, this is a must try chain for people looking to get tasty bakery items that are hard to find at your typical bakery.

  • Daria Cho

My favourite bakery in this city and the only one with authentic korean goodies. I love this location best because it has the best variety and is also a cafe, with chicken and katsu on the side. All their korean breads are great especially their red bean and red bean cream buns. Cakes are great options for any occasion and highly recommend the earl grey chiffon! I also really like their cafe drinks. I usually get a cappuccino for hot drinks or an iced americano/ or iced green grape drink and they're so good! A great place for dinner, dessert and coffee :)

  • Wendy

I was excited to finally try this place because of all the photos I've seen! Decided to grab some breads/buns and a few slices of cake. The red bean cream bun was really good, but I found the garlic cheese bun to be a little sticky on the outside, which made it messier to eat. The green tea cake was very light and airy, but was a little on the sweet side and the cream had a texture so smooth it was a little offputting halfway through. Although the prices are on the moderate to high end, I will be back to try more of their baked goods!

  • Shehzana Bawa

Wow bakery is as good as it’s name. I usually give 4 stars to most of my favourite places but this place won my heart. I bought jalapeño, olive and cheese bun, different cookies, gape fruit black tea refresher, cheese cake and macrons. This place is a die for all the desserts. Such balanced sweetness. Cakes are very light and melts in your mouth. Very few places have such good taste and sense of sweetness required in desserts. Savoury I didn’t like much but still this place deserves 5 star for it’s amazing baking. Highly recommended.

  • Kiranjot Bains

On July 15th, I got Red velvet pastries for my hubby’s birthday. They were delicious, guests loved them too. Perfectly sweet and awesome flavour balance. I am giving 1 star less for the not so friendly staff. No greeting, no smile from the gentleman at the counter. When I asked him to help with the flavour- he was not helpful at all and said “I can’t say depends upon your liking” - Duh !! Got two different boxes and asked for a bag, he added 1 box in a small bag and handed me the other one as it is. No common sense.

  • Marie Woron

One of my co-workers surprised us all by bringing in WOW Bakery’s Strawberry Shortcake layer cake today. We were in awe of how lovely it looked when he opened the box. The cake consisted of 3 layers of sponge cake with a lightly sweetened whipped cream and fresh strawberry frosting and filling. The cake itself was a fresh, lovely moist sponge with a delicate flavour. Refreshingly light tasting, we all highly recommend it. Oh, it really does look as good as it tastes! I’ll be popping in to check out more selections.

  • MX Dude

My review is of my experience going a few times. It's expensive for the quality and quantity of their products. The chicken side is not ready so you have you wait but they don't tell you till after you pay. Bakery side is mostly empty from them only making a certain amount per day. You have to go in early or your out of luck. They should discount the food that did not come out well and closer to closing. Tried the bakery side again... Over baked should NOT be SOLD. I paid full price for a very hard pastry. Done.

  • Steven Li

This place is seriously over priced for mediocre bakery products. The famous mocha chiffon cake is covered in thick cream that makes eating it comparable to eating whip cream out of a can. The cake in the middle is of a loose textures that doesn’t give you the smoothness that a good cake should have. The red velvet cake is too sweet with some kind of cheese-based icing that makes the whole thing even more sweeter. And the cake itself doesn’t feel airy either. All in all not on par with other good bakeries.

  • Esther Hayward

Love that Wow Bakery opened up in my neighbourhood! It is always a treat to visit it to see what they have that's new and fresh. The mocha chiffon cake is my absolute favourite and I've ordered it multiple times for birthdays. Went in for an Instagram promo giveaway and got not only a free loaf of sogeum bread, but some delectable meringue treats too! Their dalgona latte is worth indulging too - it includes the honeycomb treat made famous by Squid Games!

  • Anna T

definitely one of my favourite places recently!! high quality baked goods for a fair price (fair price for me! bakeries around me are very pricey, this one is significantly less) i really enjoy their iced lattes and baked goods. i got the tiramisu cake for my birthday and my family and i loved it so much! after we finished it, my friends and family were asking “where did you get this?” and “where is this place”. really kind staff as well!!

  • William Scannell

This place is amazing. Everything was absolutely delicious. From coffee, pastries, to chicken and pork. I usually get coffee from Starbucks but now when given a chance to go here, this is the place I'll go. Thumbs up to them. The staff was so nice and helpful. Here you get what you pay for. They are a bit pricey, but worth it. Give them a try. No regrets. Edit: They have some Korean products there. My wife loves it. Best bakery ever.

  • JJ

Are you adding green food colouring to the green tea cake? It doesn’t taste as good as it used to - can’t taste much green tea anymore. Whipped cream style icing is different too. Your deep fried items aren’t as good either - they taste a day old and mass produced. Breads and pastries are still excellent. Really hope that things go back to what it used to be. Cutting down on quality is a very bad business move for an upscale bakery.

  • HK Frank

I bought 2 different rolls….I have to say it is really not that good….the portion of cream is way too much….almost half cake half cream…..and the texture of cream is very solid and taste like air….not my cup of tea Last but not least the Lady wearing glass is not very friendly and not patient at all.

  • Farhat h

This bakery is amazing !! Lots of selection to choose from However the best part that impressed me is that I ordered a earl cake and lady got me a wrong order as I mentioned it wasn't what I ordered not only they partially refunded but also gave me a extra roll !! That's I will call a taking care of your customers and keep them coming back ! My Saturday experience with them was awesome Thank you and I will be back again!!

  • Devonshire Bonet

Too expensive compared to the quality and flavour. They are clearly not fresh. T&T Bakery, or even another local bakery such as Bread Culture would be a better option all around. Plus the cake slices are getting smaller while the prices are increased every year, which could be due to inflation but quality is out the door. Green tea cake is an odd green as if there is artificial flavouring without using real Matcha.

  • Nammi Nguyen

This is where I got the best cake I've ever eaten in my life. It was the green tea chiffon cake and boy was it delicious. So moist, fresh and not too sweet! The store is very clean and aesthetic with so many options of items. It's probably best to come earlier in the day as certain products sell out quicker. I have gotten a variety of different products here and they have all been delicious!

  • Rock Zhang

Can you believe they hide a gigantic strip of plastic inside of the bread? Bought an pineapple flavour bread that cost around $4 from this bakery store yesterday, I found a 7 cm long plastic strip as an extra “ingredient”. I was astonished and wrote this review to warn everyone. It makes me wondering if all of the bread they sold is made by plastic or I am just the selected lucky guy.

  • Gary Gee

The quality was not great. I've had better quality at the grocery store. Cakes and pastry can be considered a high price considering. I read another about Covid protocol... yes, they nèd to get that under control. Maintaining capacity is fine as the same 11 people in the store aren't concentrated within the same two meters. I had to work hard to avoid people from invading my space.

  • Cindy Wong

This particular Wow location has both the bakery and fried chicken, the bakery to the left and the chicken on the right. The bakery is immaculate looking, with a great selection of their signature pastries, cakes and breads. You can't go wrong with a lot of their bakery items and if you're looking for dinner as well, you can go next door and get their delicious fried chicken!

  • Cheryl Tong

There are some items that are really good, such as their almond croissant, but also some incredibly underwhelming or disappointing ones. The red velvet cake tastes like play doh. The rice doughnut is greasy and smells like the oil hasn’t been changed in a while. If you want better value for the (in my opinion slightly overpriced) money that you’re paying, go somewhere else.

  • JR H

I was in midday with my son who was a bit fussy. Bought 3 items, wasn't given a receipt but asked for one. I put it in my pocket and didn't look at it until this evening and realized I was charged for 4 items. The store was not busy. Just us and one other customer who was walking out by the time I was paying. So, buyer beware. Ask for a receipt and check it before leaving.

  • Nony

Update: for those that are eating pork gelatine free products you need to avoid the cakes. I am not sure what other products that might have them so you might need to ask. Original review: I did love the cake. Brought my birthday cake from there and it was amazing. Very light and the taste is very airy. You should give it a try. The associate was very friendly.

  • Ev F

Bakery is quite nice, good selection of cakes and cafe itemsb(tea, coffee, boba etc.) Fresh, clean, some outdoor seating, and overall a very cute cafe/bakery. My only disappointment was that Asian bakery section (tray and tongs, you know the deal) was a little bit lacking when we last went, it was however mid COVID so perhaps the selection limitation was due to that

  • Lahia G

Always have a great experience at this location, the staff are lovely and the food/desserts are always good and taste fresh! Only note is you need to get there early if you have specific items you're looking for at the Cafe as many of them sell out by 1.5 hours before they close, sometimes earlier (especially since its the only location this far NW).

  • A Bub

I’ve tried the red velvet cake and chocolate mousse cake and they are much lighter than anything you’d get in most bakeries. They’re delicious too. I’ve also tried the other items they have such as the egg sandwich and it’s good as well. I also like that they write the ingredients of the cakes as well in case you have any dietary restrictions.

  • Rolly Bhasin

When I entered this place, I said WOW! Nice ambiance, huge outdoor patio, great service, and very clean. I wanted to buy everything I saw around me - great baked food. Got their Mocha Chiffon cake for a special occasion and it was so light and delicious. Just loved it. Cant wait to go back and try their breakfast / coffee at the patio!

  • Stephanie

Love coming here for a chocolate dipped croissant moment. They also have great options for savory buns that I like to bring for day hikes. Can't forget the cakes! They are not to sweet, not too heavy/decadent - perfect especially if you've had birthday dinner just before! The earl gray, matcha, and strawberry are my favourite!

  • Peter Johnson

Awesome donuts,and pastries.Great prices.Coffee was good,but the lids have a chalky,papery feel when drinking almost like a paper straw feeling. The guy who served me was super nice.

  • junhong cai

Korean desserts, such as Green tea, Macha, and Chocolate cake, taste so good if you prefer to light sweet desserts. The bakery service is limited which doesn't make cake decorations in store. Wow chicken shares the same place, their fried chicken and chicken burger are juicy and a little sweet, different tastes.

  • Keltie Nichol

I got a cookie from here and was told it was made fresh today. As I was taking it out of the package, I noticed a silica gel packet in my wrapper (conveniently hidden) and as I took the cookie out, it was rock hard. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It is not fresh nor tasty and extremely overpriced

  • Matt M

Waited way to long to try (menu is a bit strange). The fried chicken is among the best i have ever had. Highly recommend the soy ginger. Also, while you wait for your chicken order you can get way to many delicious baked goods on the bakery side! Macarons and chocolate croissant are what I would recommend.

  • Kenrick Li

Great bakery offering a wide variety of tasty breads, pastries, cakes, and desserts. The coffee and drinks were well made also. Was able to enjoy a good coffee meeting with a coworker here. Interior was spacious and you could use the seating in the restaurant side as well if needed.

  • Doris Liu

Love this place They have ice pastry options such as mocha bun and puff which is perfect for this hot summer season. Their Korean specialty coffee is also really nice and comes with so many options. The stocks runs low closer after 5pm so I recommend come earlier in the day.

  • Casey Choy

My wife walked into this bakery to get me a birthday cake, and the staff made sure to include candles and a card. She bought the Belgian Chocolate cake and it was really delicious. It was a wonderful surprise and for me it doesn't really feel like a birthday without cake.

  • Bridget Couldridge

I’m so disappointed to hear today that they are unwilling to take an order for pickup tomorrow. I arrive in Calgary from Edmonton around 17.30 and can only get there on my lunch break around 18.45 and they’re usually sold out of their delicious garlic bread …

  • Saania Zehra Jamal

Huge and well maintained bakery with a surprisingly small selection of baked goods when I checked it out. Their custard bun and almond croissant was delicious but the tiramisu was simply not a tiramisu, just a spongy cake with the barest hint of coffee in it.

  • Minnie Leung

I like the things here very much, but there is a guy with a bad attitude. He is like the owner of this store. I took a look at the bun and he asked you: Are you okay? Talk to him, his eyes will only look up and down, I can only see the whites of his eyes.

  • Kara

Was hoping to try their croffle as it was advertised very well. Unfortunately the croffle is not baked to order. I got the chocolate croffle and it was a little dry and cold as the chocolate was dipped prior to order. Would go back for the kougen aman.

  • Lisa P

The absolute best cookie I ever had (their Nutella one!!!). Not everything taste amazing but I got to know everything and I am personally never disappointed. They have a special cake for Xmas that my sister loves. Excited for their donuts!

  • Laurie Glenn

I went here for lunch today with my son and both our chicken dishes were amazing. We went over to the bakery side after and got the Earl Grey roll cake and a donut stick. Both were fresh and delicious. Well definitely be going back soon.

  • Whimsy Ashley

Overall a good experience, the drinks were delicious and so were the baked goods. I was however disappointed by the Swiss roll, it was average and barely had any flavour considering the price. Other than that a good experience.

  • J Joseph

Consistent quality and customer service. One of our go-to cafes in the NW. Edit: spectacular service from an employee at the cafe with short curly hair. She is phenomenal.

  • Omelett é

All the cakes, cookies, and macarons are lied that they are made fresh daily. No, they’re not. Very dry and flavorless. Kept in refrigerator and freezer for days before selling to customers saying its made fresh daily. Scam!

We are regulars here at the coffee shop. Love the dalgona coffee and fresh pastries. All the cookies are delicious, the coffee is incredible, and the pastries are always fresh and new recipes are always popping up.

  • Kelly Der

Tried Tiramisu cake and it is to die for!!! We also tried the Red Velvet cake. It was pretty good. Last week we tried the strawberry short cake! It was also pretty good but the tiramisu is the favourite so far!

  • Renee

The pastries and cakes are insanely cute and I loved the variety of sweet and savory! They are not overly sweet so I really enjoyed everything I got, especially the chiffon cake and tiramisu croissant!

  • yewon jung

I bought strawberry darnish and cream puff, it was all liquidy when I tried to eat it. The flour wasn't good quality compared to T&T breads. The breads are way too expensive compared to the quality.

  • Philip Kan

The bakery is great. All the croissants have great texture and chew with the chocolate croissant my favourite. The chiffon cakes have great flavour and texture. Definitely recommend this place.

  • Alejandro Felix

The place is Korean and you can tell as their "high-end culture" can be felt from opening the door. The products are simple but tasty, well presented and beautifully wrapped. Worth every penny.

  • Jorge Morales

Love WOW Bakery. There pastries and desserts are amazing and they have outdone themselves with the drink selection. The new place is big and offers a nice seating area to enjoy a chill time.

  • M J

They have pretty good dessert and pastries. The almond croissant is a must try! Their strawberry cake is pretty good too. The cookies however, aren’t that great- they’re dry and not fresh.

  • W wong

Very disappointed. Today I bought a Matcha roll cake. The cake is so dry and inside the roll is all icing not cream. I expected the cake is fluffy not dry and hard. It’s not fresh at all .

  • Betty Chin

I'm always here for any bakery cravings. They have a variety of breads, croissants, cakes and also makes coffee and interesting drinks. The patio is laid out during the summer months.

  • Veronica K

Food was not bad but I did find a small hair in my tiramisu which ruined the experience. Thankfully that was the last dessert I tried. I had their cheesecake and peanut cream cookie.

  • MIN SANG PARK

There are various types of bread and it tastes good, but the price is expensive. Most of the employees are kind, but some of them are blunt. Pork cutlet and chicken are just so-so.

OMG, what a gem and so close to us. Absolutely amazing It's truly a wow , price is very reasonable .. I guarantee you be coming back for their absolutely amazing baked goods

  • Tianna Do

Bakery is mostly empty from them only making a certain amount per day. You have to go in early or your out of luck. Very limited options I find. But good if you do get any.

  • Charlie Skinner

Good cakes, but two stars off for increasing prices while decreasing cake sizes. I got the Earl Grey cake for coworkers and no one liked it, but I thought it was good.

Delicious Belgian chocolate cake if you are craving on chocolate cake. Not too rich or sweet. It’s $40 so it’s more on the pricey side but is worth it once in a while.

  • Hello Loo

Pastries are good, but a bit expensive. It has a bit of a hard time finding the store. Love the fact that they have an indoor and outdoor area to eat. Staff are polite

  • Tina H

One of the best bakery I can find in Calgary. Cakes are light and fluffy, staff are efficient and helpful. Do think the cake could do with slightly less sugar though.

My birthday cake was awesome. I always get ice cream cake. This year we went with the tiramisu cake and it was amazing. Will be going back.

We like their Korean style bakery. We ordered their strawberry cake for a birthday, not very sweet which is fine! Will be back for sure.

  • Kelso 002

The korean bakery here seems okay, and i like the sandwiches here, but I feel I like I wouldn't come back as they charge higher prices.
