Reviews of JK Bakery Cafe (Bakery)

Mimi W

Good bakery with classic European/German treats. Enjoyed what I had and would definitely return. -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"

Great place to grab a quick lunch. Used to go here fairly frequently before keto. Others in my family love it. The homemade soups in particular are a hit.

Stephan Gardner

Great hot chocolate and apple pie.

Igor Stojcic

The "apple fritter" was just literally whole wheat bread. Maybe one chunk of apple? The white hot chocolate was a 10/10 tho! Fantastic, but def skeptical of their baked goods.

Kyle Armstrong

Great bakery!

Andrew Gittens

Great coffee and sandwich. Friendly staff.

Nice bakery. Lots of sitting area. Definitely a popular place to be. Everything looks amazing. Cookie looked soft but was hard.

Sarah Campbell

I wish I had taken pictures of all the food we ate, but we ate it all so quickly because it was so good I didn't have a chance to take any! This is a great spot to stop for lunch or a quick snack break. Everything is fresh and tasty. Lots of comfort food - warm and delicious. My favorites are their quiches and red velvet cookies!

Infinite refills

Fedge No

Great cappuccino

Jesse Wasmuth

Good assortment of tasty treats and savoury fare. Was a little disappointed in our sandwiches, as there wasn't much to them. Will perhaps stick to the baked goods in the future.

Sam Joy

Baked goods were very good, service was slow, staff were rude and seemed offended that we chose to eat there.

Craig Loucao

Amazing! Loved their coffee and spinash and feat triangle. Location wasn't too busy, service was quick.

Kate Denison

Best breakfast sandwiches I think I've ever eaten - eggs were so light, fluffy and full of flavour. Honourable mention to the sausage rolls and cherry Danish! Avoid: their cinnamon bun. Was a little dry on top, bit of a disappointment. London Fog has promise but needs a bit of adjustment with their tea/milk ratio. Service is friendly & quick, you can sit in and eat, nice and clean. Toilets open to customers.

Maxim Künzel

Excellent German Apfelstrudel!!

Alex Edmont

Friendly staff, fast service, nice location and good parking. Nice selections of products and good homemade stile bakery. Not far from the Main Street.

Kenta 403

Good bakery with a good selection of freshly baked goods and beverages. Service can be a hit and miss. My hot chocolate took 20 minutes to make during my last visit. And this one was during the mid afternoon with only 2 people ahead of me.

Marc n Shera L.

Came in looking for a specific pastry for our girl's birthday, they didn't have any but suggested something else that ended up being absolutely delicious They also had tourtière available which was a nice surprise. Staff, desserts, coffee .. great all around, we will be back.

Gino Bruni

Great Sandwiches!

Vikas Raj Bhagat

The hot chocolate is great, the coffee is fine. Would not recommend going just for coffee. They have lamingtons which is a Australian dessert. Not so fresh but yes it's there.

We stopped in for a couple of beverages and a strudel, which was delicious. Plus we purchased a couple of pretzels to take with us.. I ordered the cappuccino and my wife ordered the cafe latte. We had to show our Restriction Exception paperwork in order to enjoy our coffees in their seating area. After we finished, they had spray and paper towels to do a quick sanitize of our table.

Curtis

Nice local cafe. Coffee was good for the price. Delicious German apple strudel and the wife enjoyed her chai latte and almond croissant. Would recommend.

R Chan

Great food and cozy atmosphere. Apple strudel and the spinach feta triangles are so good!

Michelle Desnoyers

Delightful little spot with daily specials. Soup, sandwiches, pastry. Friendly service.

Matt Venczel

Good sweet treats, but the pop is way too expensive.

Raji Alrazi

Their German and Austrian apple strudels are top quality, great bakery cafe

Carolanne Kupferschmidt

A wonderful place for a meal or a quick coffee with friends. The menu has something for everyone.

drstansky

Super nice staff, delicious cinnamon roll.

Mimi San

update: I vomited. not super happy with anything honestly, sandwiches were nothing special, i DO NOT recommend the cream of mushroom soup, it honestly tasted like mucus in a bowl. absolutely no seasoning nor salt. you are not giving utensils nor napkins. tables are not cleaned between customers.

Chris MacLean

Good coffee and baked goods, very friendly staff.

Debbie Keyko

Great place for fresh homemade soup and sandwiches for lunch!

Dale Stanway

Good tea. Friendly staff and has a good selection if treats and fresh bread.

Ashton Nguyen

An amazing sandwich with soup for lunch, and really friendly service!

Sarah Pack

Cream horn was stale. Clearly not made that day and very hard. Even the cream was sticky and hard and tasted stale. The staff were so nice and sweet, everything was clean and well presented but for $4.99 it was a waste of money. Would not recommend this place or come here again.

Alex Xavier

We bought a bunch of pastries and coffees from here and we were enjoying their food on their patio. Because we had food from a neighbouring business, we were told we were not allowed to use their patio because of certain policies. I understand the need to follow restrictions and what not, however we felt singled out since we were clearly not the only party to do so, this afternoon. There were other parties clearly just taking a rest on the tables without any food, and people with items that were obviously not sold at the bakery. Just feels quite embarrassing to be the only party to be told off, especially that we were chomping down on nearly a dozen of their cookies, a struddle, a donut, and two coffees. Furthermore, we were told off after we had already left their patio. The food was pretty good at the time, but I guess this encounter here has soured our overall experience. It's hard not to sound resentful about what happened, but I'm trying to give a genuine review and to outline what happened objectively. Not sure if the cookies we bought, will ever have the same taste after this. I feel sad, because I was about to rave about the certain cookies I bought, but don't think I can now. Edit: Management reached out to us to sort things out. We're happy that they took the constructive criticism to heart, and that things can improve to better customer experiences in the future.

Morag Mottram

Friendly staff, delicious fresh made sandwiches.

Leslie Lewis

A tiny place with friendly customers and staff, and great baked goods. On of Canmore's hidden treasures

Michelle Davis

Awesome baked goods. Highly recommend

Oscar Jofre

The German apple strudel amazing so flacks but the coffee very weak

Laird McGillivray

Friendly staff, terrific muffins and a good selection of loose teas.

Ivannoe Bohard

Friendly staff with amazing bread/food

Troy Maddaford

Nice coffee and dessert but the bathrooms and décor need some attention to detail.

Mitran Mehta

I always stop here weekly for Nordic bread

Pam Baergen

Fresh, fast, and friendly. Really enjoyed the curried chicken soup!

Alexandra Larsen

I've been visiting JK a lot lately, and I can't pick one go-to because everything I've tried so far has been incredible. The paninis are amazing (I recommend ciabbata). The muesli cookie is delectable. And the pretzels are so amazing, but you have to get there before lunch to ensure there are some left. I like to put the pretzels in the toaster oven for a minute when I get them home so I can eat them warm!

Kendra Hicks

JK bakery is the best spot in town! Homemade food, local feel, friendly staff, great prices. Highly recommend

Lianne Lavoie

I had a yummy smoothie, and liked the whole vibe of the place.

Dorota Ulkowska

Strawberry Rhubarb pie....one of the best I have had!

Sanuja Senanayake

Great food and great service. Keep it up.

Michael Campbell

Had a loaded roast beef sandwich, quiche and cookie for lunch. All was delicious. Super nice staff.

Scott Lawrence

Fantastic newer cafe. Limited gluten free options but nice and staff are amazing.

Felicia Ng

Lovely local coffee shop with a great range for pastries, savory pies, caffeinated and noncaffeinated drinks, and treats. Leamington fans, come here for your fix.

Sly B

The best napoleon cake out there.

dody yorke

Fresh baked bread, lovely meals and awesome coffe and service with a smile

Alexandra Nelson

Bought some cookies and a cinnamon bun today with the family. Ginger cookies were incredible but the rest was just ok.

Tailspin Two

The Old Coffee Mine is looking fine. I miss some of my friends who worked there, but I suppose people graduate and move on.

Alexander Peh

Love their homemade meat pies and sausage rolls, genuinely tasty! Great range of food including sandwiches, pies, quiche and paninis. Worth walking off the Main St (20 meters) for this great local bakery and cafe.

Jonny Coe

JK used to be my favorite bakery and coffee shop, but rising prices have made this place too expensive for my tastes.

Jordan Nordstrom-Young

Coffee and baked goods were acceptable. Staff was rude and condescending at worst, unfriendly at best. Nothing special, would recommend finding somewhere else to get a coffee.

Craig Nicol

The toasted ham & cheese croissant is perfect.

Mallory Kosterski

Budget friendly. Amazing cookies. Delicious bread. Decent coffee. Kid friendly !

Gary Bavis

Great sandwiches and decent price!

Good cafe loved it, with montreal style bagels

Mark Goodaire

Excellent coffee and pastries

Kristy Suik

Wonderful little Bakery ???????????????????? located just off Mainstreet downtown. They have a lovely inside cafe to enjoy your Bakery items as well as coffee ☕or tea????. They also have a little outside seating area to enjoy the outside fresh air and views????⛰️????. The cute little birds???? love to hop around the tables along to floor and enjoy any crumbs left behind by visitors. I enjoyed my Bakery items outside while watching these little guys and it made my morning.

Jessica

Tried a little bit of everything. All was really good. The Cherry Danish is my all time favorite! The Quiche was very filling and tasty, would definitely buy these two things again! The ginger cookie was a little to hard for me but tasted really good, the chocolate croissant was good as well, it had chocolate in the middle which was a nice surprise, however I wasnt the biggest fan of the chocolate myself. The lemon poppy seed shortbread cookie was good too wish it was bigger ???? but it was priced well (>1$) I should have gotten more then 1!

Kandoo Ooo

A gem in Canmore just of the beaten path. The baked goods and coffee are delicious. Had a cinnamon bun (heated), double chocolate cookie, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and a brownie with a medium roast coffee. All were fantastic. Good wifi. Lovely seating area both inside and out. Staff were super friendly. Prices were very reasonable.

Crashnet Pratt

Go early as they may run out of some of the wonderful fresh stuff

Tom King

While walking in the Canmore downtown on Oct. 9 we happened upon JK Bakery. We decided to get some snacks and treats for our hike the next day on Pigeon Mountain and were very pleased with the look of the pre-made sandwiches and sweets. There were gluten free options which I was very happy about however when I opened my sandwich the next day I was shocked at how small the bread slices were but the sandwich was awesome! My wife had a breakfast sandwich and really enjoyed it as well. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It was kinda pricey however we did enjoy what we bought. Worth visiting and purchasing home made food. Giving 4 stars only because of the price and the very small gluten free bread slices! Taste and Service is a 5 star indeed!!!

Jon Van Dyk

Fresh pastries and taste coffee.

Chris Torres

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The pastries were delicious, the problem was choosing.

Terry Felton

Great bread and coffee

Neil Mayhew

Wonderful pastries and bread, lovely cafe.

Veronica Ramos Penner

Terrible service. Cold coffee never come back.

Gerry Ghostrider

Decent place to have lunch with lots of space to sit... if they wouldn't allow those people with their laptop to sit at a table for four for 2 hours! Honestly those laptop people shouldn't be allowed to sit there for more than 30 minutes, especially not at a table for four.

Scot McGhee

Good weekday hot lunch! $1.00 coffee refills. Good price food.

Tecnología Civil Aztech

(Translated) very rich everything (Original) Muy rico todo

Andrea Richiardi

Very busy but busy good for us with plenty of kids and families coming in. The drinks are good as well and there are many sweets to choose from. Recommended.

Lala “Lala” JIN

Nice place.

Attila Lutinca

Great soups and pastries.

Melvin Lau

Food was pretty good and prices were reasonable. There are lunch specials with soup/salad and cookie combo. The Philly steak sub was a little deceiving since it didn't have cheese in it. Would recommend for a quick bite or small lunch.

money m m huang

Fresh and delicious!

Steven Miller

Only real bakery in the valley. It can still be hit or miss depending on what you order.

Jennifer Considine

Wonderful bakery. Delicious lunch!

Emma Neufeld

Very delicious and staff is super friendly!

Esme Comfort

Great place for a huge variety of baked goods and super lunch spot.

EV

Price is inflated maybe due to location. $7 for a large coffee and cherry cream cheese danish was too much considering that the danish was just a peace of dough with a little touch of cheese and jam so l had to throw it away. I also didn't notice a hand sanitizer at the entrance while the self serving area for coffee and milk was open. Coffee was good.

Marilyn Wanner

Loved that you could get lamingtons here, my daughters favourite and the cookies were so yummy too.

Randy Reyes

A great place for baked goods and sandwiches. Ask for the bread of the day for your sandwich, they're especially good.

Jean-Francois Nadeau

Excellent home made soup and sandwich, reasonable pricing too!

Jerry Kokesh

Nice coffee shop with great baked goods.

Joshua Baergen

Good sandwiches, soup, and cupcakes.

Shan MacDermott

Unfriendly and rude staff. Coffee is sub par.

Barbara Mattson

Lots of European style pastries and goodies, some gluten friendly as well

Alicia

The food here was so good! Tried it for the first time today and it was incredible, definitely a hidden gem. Nothing beat having piping hot soup and pot pie after a cold hike. Wish I had also tried the amazing looking pastries and sweets. Will for sure keep coming back here when I visit Canmore.

Samuel Gagnon

Really nice

Surinder Deo

Best food ever

Birgit Juergensen

Baked goods may be good but service is super slow, not very organized behind the counter. Had to wait 20 minutes for coffee to go when it was only a bit busy

Hank Smit

Service did take done time but good and coffee were great

Sydney Hanson

Came for soup and a sandwich. 3 of us ordered Broccoli cheese soup, was luke warm, filled bowl only 2/3 full, for which the staff offered 1 cookie (apparently to split between the 3 of us). No cheese noted in soup. Panini sandwich was good but pre made so no customizing. Everything comes packed to go even though dining in, a huge waste! Wont be back.

Amy Yu

Good quality and price, very fresh

Shane Randon

Cannot speak to the baked goods, hot chocolate was great to warm up to. Decor is lacking, but excellent service behind the counter. Overall a good little stop out of the main flow of things.

Noah Mihan

Smoothies were so good! Amy brought me my sandwich and she was SO nice. Friendliest people ever. Will be coming back.

t bennett

Great food. Going back tomorrow

Kris Branson

A little expensive but great service and good treats!

Errin White

Such good honest food.

Erika Calero

Found this great place and I'm so thankful I tried it! Had the German and Austrian strudel, amazing! Tried their Nicaraguan coffee, that was phenomenal! I will definitely be back the next time I visit Canmore! ????

Winston Fadeeff

4/10 food at 8/10 price point. Actual baking on par with supermarket baked goods. Tea good but not great.

Silvana Ivata

(Translated) I loved (Original) Amei

Marc S Poulin

Pea soup to warm the bones.

Vince Abbinante

Good selection of things nice and clean good service

tracey bertrand

I dropped by for a bit of lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Sandwich was thick and delicious, soup was hot and incredibly tasty! I got some cheese biscuits and carrot cake to go and honestly recommend this place highly!! Yummy ????

Tracey Gage

This is one of my favourite local cafes. The staff are friendly, it has a comfortable atmosphere, the coffee is great and the prices are the best in the area. I come here several days a week to work, eat and get my coffees. They have two locations in Canmore and one in Banff and all are worth a visit.

Ron Holcek

Great apple strudels and cookies!

Morgan Welch

We came in 10 minutes before they closed for a quick coffee, the coffee was basically just hot water. On top of that, it was poor service, and they were eager to have us leave! Really poor service. Don’t recommend!

Walid El Henawy

Delicious food with very respectful staff. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon after a day hike in Canmore based on a friend’s recommendation. We had the turkey panini with an apple strudel. and a coffee. The panini was served hot and was delicious. The apple strudel was also fresh and was not overly sweet. Staff were very respectful of social distancing and were wearing face shields, masks, and/or gloves with sanitizing spray bottle in the washroom. Happy to have stopped at this place after our hike!

Robyn Dicken

Love this place

C Ent

Neat little joint. Stopped in for lunch, and the soup + sandwich combo was great. Homemade Italian sausage soup hit the spot. The apple strudel was also quite legit.

judi Gordon

Friendly service & very nice coffee & food.

Jason Selkirk

Stopped in for a quick lunch before heading home. Really nice bakery and cafe. Food is homemade and the cappuccino was awesome. Grabbed a chicken pot to take home. Head there very good. Highly recommend!

Stephanie Kennedy

Great food and friendly staff!

D Suelt

The sandwiches soups and pastries are all AMAZING!! fresh food and really good pickles in the sandwich. Only complaint is it there is always a line so maybe open a second till to speed it up. Friendly staff highly recommend

Francine Atkinson

My 3 yr old loves the sausage rolls. He will only eat them from there, as well the jam cookies

Alissa Becker

Absolutely delicious!

Michael Morrow

Apple strudel was tasty with a generous serving. Friendly staff gave great ideas for spending time in town.

Linda Neely

On a visit from Calgary stopped in for lunch. The sandwich and Amercano were delicious. Took home a loaf of bread which toasted beautifully and tastes so good. Will be visiting again for sure.

Ann A

Lovely place to enjoy a latte with a pastry on the patio after a bike ride from Banff.

Ash Chesterman

Quality, good priced and fresh sandwiches/baked goods

Julius K

Down to earth spot with great cakes and hot drinks.

J A

Great little café

Lee Morrison

Has the best apple fritter I have ever had

Zander Lee

The cheesecake is amazing but it comes in a cardboard box which cannot be sealed so lots of packing up but worth every penny

Cesar Tee

Great service! Very patient, fast and efficient. And the food was amazing. These really are the best sandwiches in the Bow Valley!

Nina Blackbirn

Great lunch and super friendly staff !

Cindy Sprague

I highly recommend JK Bakery in downtown Canmore. They created a beautiful and delicious naked vanilla cake for me and were very accommodating with my last minute order. Their pricing was also very reasonable compared to other bakeries in the area. (Note: I added my own berries)

Anton Riis

Good food, great coffees and amazing staff

John Paetkau

Just had coffee and Danish, one of the best ever!

Fabio Zulauf

Best rhubarb pie in western Canada!

Gavin Roberts

Have come here twice now with my wife and we love it! The staff are always friendly and even when it gets very busy, they still have a smile on their face and keep serving everyone with kindness. The sandwiches, pastries, coffee and smoothies are delicious! 10/10 would reccomend. Our favourite lunch place in Canmore!

Rick Mastman

My wife and I visited the Canmore location last week and we enjoyed the ambience, a danish and a SMOOTH cup of coffee. Thanks from North Carolina!

Ania & Mike Kolodziejski

"Why won't you clean the tables?" And here's why we won't come back. We loved JK for their sandwiches and cream horns. We stopped after we had to wait today for someone to come and wipe the table. Around our plates, no one bother to lift it (my wife was going to...)Why would you ask your staff to wear a mask, clients to keep the social distancing and use hand sanitizer if you can't simply have someone to wipe down the table (full of bread crumbs, people hair and not sure what else) Waitress almost yelled; We had a line up outside the door, sir! Yes, it was busy Sunday afternoon, but come on...it took 3 people to ring my wife's order through; coffee, two soups, salad and sandwich. We are not in the risk group but why would we risk by eating again in the dirty environment?

Robert Rust

Good sandwiches and cream horns. I'm sure the rest is good but that is all I had
