We love how Duchess Bake Shop brings a taste of France to our city with its impeccable pastries. They’re all crafted in-house using top-notch ingredients like Valrhona chocolate and 84% churn butter.
Their buttery croissants, pistachio and rose macarons, and lemon blueberry tart are just a few of the delights we couldn’t resist trying. When we spoke to locals, they couldn’t stop raving about the Blueberry Brioche and classic butter tarts.
It’s not just the sweets, though. Their savory croissants and brioche sandwiches hit the spot too.

Their online presence is a bonus, allowing you to pre-order or snag their famous cookbook. Plus, if you’re feeling ambitious, you can even sign up for one of their baking classes to recreate your favorites at home.
Exceeds expectations consistently
“I recently bought the Duke Cake (Large) from Duchess Bake Shop for my wife’s birthday, and it was an absolute hit! The cake was a stunning masterpiece, beautifully decorated, and full of rich flavors. The combination of chocolate mousse, almond sponge, and salted caramel was simply divine and left everyone wanting more. This was my second experience with Duchess Bake Shop, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring that everything was perfect for our celebration. Duchess Bake Shop is, without a doubt, my favorite spot for cakes. The quality and attention to detail are unmatched, making it the perfect place to find a special treat for any occasion. Highly recommend!”

Creates a very satisfying dessert and coffee experience
“Amazing is all I can think of. Food and service both. Ordered grapefruit lavender tart It was $12 and seemed a little high priced but it was so good that we ended up getting one more. Their chocolate chip cookie is absolutely delicious and so is the butter tart. I know when my coffee is not good and I must say their latte was awesome. Very happy.”

We love how The Art of Cake transports you into a cozy, Peaky Blinders-inspired space, blending charm and sophistication effortlessly.
When we visited, we couldn’t resist trying some fan favorites like their red velvet cake, raspberry cheesecake, and those heavenly cinnamon buns that just melt in your mouth.
Some of the customers we chatted with couldn’t stop raving about their high tea experience. It’s complete with scones, delicate pastries, and a pot of Earl Grey that adds a touch of elegance to your afternoon.
The attention to detail here is top-notch, not just in their pastries but in their service too. The staff made us feel like regulars, and we were happy with how friendly and warm they were.
If you’re more of a homebody, they’ve made it super easy to pre-order cakes and even book a high tea online.
Offers the perfect spot for Coffee, Cake, or a high tea experience
“The name speaks for itself, I cannot tell you enough how sublime the cakes are here. What makes everything so much more sweet is the service and how warm and lovely every single person who works at this establishment are. When I say there is no other place to grab a Coffee, Cake or an exceptional high tea experience this is your place. My husband and I had our gender reveal here and I wouldn’t have changed anything about it. Tears were flowing and it was a magical experience all because of how The Art Of Cake made the day so perfect. I am looking forward to coming back and I already know where we are getting our son’s first birthday cake. I would recommend this place to anybody, you will never get better service and the most decadent cake anywhere else. You are perfection.”

Invites guests to return for a relaxed afternoon
“I had been longing to go to The Art of Cake, seeing how popular they were on Google. I happened to go there during the weekend, sadly was there half an hour before close, so did not get to spend much time there. The ambiance amazed me. It was stunning and unique. I loved the peaky blinders theme, a very vintage look. The baked items were yummy, and the service was good. Friendly and professional staff. I love how they have paid detailed attention to every nook and corner of the shop, including their washrooms. I can’t wait to go again and spend a relaxed afternoon there. They have a lunch menu too.. Yay!”

| OPERATING HOURS | Sunday to Thursday - 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM

What we love about Block 1912 Café is how it blends history, art, and some seriously good desserts all under one roof. Nestled in the historic Hulbert Block on Whyte Avenue, this place feels like more than just a café.
When we stopped by, the chocolate mousse cake was a hit with our team. A couple of regulars also recommended their seasonal fruit pies – made fresh by certified pastry chefs. If you’re a fan of gelato, you’re in for a treat because their house-made flavors change with the seasons.
They’re not just about the food too. The space comes alive with live music, art exhibits, and book readings, making it a true cultural hub. Whether you’re catching up with friends or hunkering down with some work, the inviting atmosphere has you covered.
We also loved the convenience of being able to order online for takeout, so you can enjoy their goodies at home.
Attracts regular patrons with its consistent high standards
“Phenomenal cafe on Whyte Ave, with a more intimate setting and a vibrant ambiance. Great for both work and socializing. The espressos and fogs served here are significantly better than those served at most other cafes in the area. Their cake selection is very large, and although they are not the cheapest, they are worth the price. I myself am a regular patron and recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality cafe.”

Offers a cozy and trendy location in Old Strathcona
“We visit this coffee Cafe every time we are in Edmonton. Coffee is made to perfection and there is an excellent selection of delicious desserts. Excellent location in trendy Old Strathcona district and very beautiful ambiance inside and out. Customer service is excellent as well and they keep the Cafe as clean as possible considering how busy they are. Try their Tiramisu cake. You’ll love it!”

| OPERATING HOURS | Sunday to Thursday - 1:00 PM to 12:00 AM
Friday to Saturday - 1:00 PM to 2:00 AM |
What makes D Spot Dessert Café stand out is that it’s not just another dessert spot – it’s a full-on experience. When we tried their chocolate banana waffle, drizzled with Nutella, it wasn’t just a treat – it was an indulgence on a plate.
Some of the regulars we chatted with couldn’t stop talking about the chocolate lava cake. It’s easily one of the stars of the menu.
But D Spot isn’t just about satisfying your sweet tooth. We tried the butter chicken pizza and it definitely hit the spot for something savory.
Their commitment to offering halal options is a big plus for inclusivity, making it a welcoming place for everyone.
We also love that they stay open late, which is perfect for those late-night cravings. And if you can’t make it in, they’ve got online ordering and special deals if you sign up for their newsletter.
Serves a delicious Belgian white chocolate milkshake
“We went there for the first time and oh my gosh, this place is a “gem”. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a heavenly fragrance of some amazing delicious desserts. Now, the menu was pretty huge, but we were just focused on quenching our sweet tooth. We finally ordered a don’t make me blush waffle and Belgian white chocolate milkshake. The waffle was a ‘chef’s kiss’, perfectly sweet, with a soft base and some crunchy nuts. The rose ice cream was indeed the star of the dish. I loved every single bite of it. The milkshake was also great, enjoyed it too. The service was excellent, we were asked by at-least three people, how our food was! Overall, 5/5 stars, something that I rarely give to any restaurant.”

Delivers delicious desserts that are perfect for indulging
“Had an amazing lunch at D Spot! While the menu is heavier on the desserts, they do have a nice selection of savory meals! We had some of the burgers and they were amazing. Ash was very attentive and when we had a slight issue with one of our burgers, she was quick and went above and beyond to get it fixed. Desserts are great…be prepared to bring some stretchy pants…lol. Will be coming back soon!”

5. Macarons and Goodies French Bakery – Edmonton

| CONTACT DETAILS | +1 587-473-6400 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday to Friday - 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Saturday - 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM |
What we really enjoy about Macarons and Goodies is how it brings a slice of French pastry perfection to Edmonton. On our visit, we couldn’t resist grabbing a croissant and it was everything a croissant should be: golden, flaky, and buttery.
A few regulars were raving about the Raspberry Chocolate Cake, and after trying it ourselves, we can see why. Chef Akram Hasni’s 18 years of experience really shines through in every bite, whether it’s a delicate éclair or a bold Lemon Meringue Tart.
They also offer sandwiches and quiches if you’re in the mood for something savory, which is a nice touch for a quick lunch.
Plus, the Italian coffee they serve adds an extra layer to the experience. If you’d rather enjoy their pastries from home, online ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash makes that easy.
Oh, and their baking classes? We’ve got that on our list for next time!
Showcases a beautiful French-inspired décor and menu
“This bakery is absolutely the BEST IN EDMONTON and even Calgary! I travel a lot and try many different bakeries and this one is top notch every time I come for baked good, savory foods! They are mouth watery goodness! The owner Akram is so friendly and I love the interactions with him and his staff. He gives the best recommendations to try when I tell him my taste and everything is on point. I love the French decor and foods. This place is truly so good and they actually care and give amazing detailed service here and even better it’s a local business which I will continue to support. Thank you for always giving nothing but the best! When I’m having a hard day and feeling depressed I come in for some sweets or try a different food item and it always cheers me up. The lower of food made with love and passion.”

The owner “Akram” and staff go above and beyond to ensure every customer feels welcome and valued. Their dedication to providing exceptional service is evident in every interaction.
