Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

"Alforno was born in the basement of a restaurant to supply Teatro Group with freshly baked bread from burger buns to baguettes. Once the operators landed a cozy coffee shop and bakery, they expanded offerings to include pastries such as matcha and white chocolate mousse entremets, handcrafted chocolate bonbons, and the famous tiramisu, a nod to their Italian heritage and the Berloni family recipe. If savoury is more your forte, the pasta dishes and oven-baked pizzas are to die for."

"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."
