Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Airdrie

"You can bet your bottom dollar that if we were stranded on a deserted island and we could only bring one thing- it would be these Cream Puffs 😻. A post shared by Alforno Bakery & Cafe (@alfornobakery) on Sep 5, 2017 at 3:01pm PDT. Alforno is decked out in baked decadence offering everything from fresh-out-of-oven bread loaves to savoury and sweet scones and mile high cakes."

"Alforno is the perfect place for a coffee date, a meeting, a productivity push, or a casual hang out. Their coffee is obviously top-notch, but we’d be lying if we said our favourite thing on the menu could be sucked through a straw. Delicious pizza, sandwiches, and more round out this spot as a Calgary must."

"Alforno Café and Bakery is one of our more recent finds here in Calgary. And, their cinnamon rolls are some of the best we have ever had. I am not sure that the picture above does it justice, but it is huge and perfect for sharing."

"Yann Haute Patisserie brings a little bit of France to Calgary. Located in a bright yellow house in the Cliff Bungalow neighbourhood, this bakery offers macarons, croissants, cakes, and more. When you walk inside, you’ll immediately be greeted with display cases showcasing all the tempting treats."

"What it is: More than just a bakery, this dine-in eatery offers a wide menu that also caters to vegetarians.

"Rudy Bootsma and Don Nauta collaborated to get the world a “touch of Dutch”. They quickly made an impact on consumers who were searching for a decent family bakery with a dedication to customer service and a new product. The children were actively interested in the bakery as adolescents, but only a few remained as time passed by and on holidays where all hands are on deck."

"Even though Glamorgan Bakery specializes in Dutch heritage baking and is famous for its cheese buns, you’ll find plenty of other mouthwatering treats inside.

If you’re celebrating a special event, consider ordering one of the cakes to make it even more memorable."

The bakery offers mini and regular-sized cupcakes, with gluten-free and vegan options, along with a variety of cakes, cookies, and the notorious holiday baking box."

"Crave Cupcakes has been a perennial favorite of ours for special occasions or just because for many years. The first of their 4 locations in Calgary opened in 2004, by two sisters that credit their grandmother’s chocolate cake recipe and their mother’s secret to great buttercream icing for their success. We must say that we love best about Crave above other cupcake shops really is their chocolate cupcakes."
