best croissant and pain chocolat in town

@butterblockyyc aka the hidden little bakery that makes the perfect golden croissant ???? with 81 layers of butter and dough! Best croissant I’ve ever had.

John Manzo

I find their twice-baked croissants too brittle and not tender and toothsome as at Yann, but their cookies are absolutely amazing.

Kimberly Trinh

These are some really delicious croissants! The cheese twist is giant, and baked so well. It tastes like a pizza honestly! & The chocolate croissant is also so good. Flakey, buttery and just made really well. Staff are so nice too! Location is really cute and I now know I can never work near by because the aromas just fill the streets!

Huong Tran

The croissants are delicious even if they are a bit over priced.

Terri Waller

A coworker brought in croissants from this bakery this morning. I had the sesame filling one. It was one of the best pastries I've ever tasted and I immediately has to get the name of the bakery :)

Jon Tootle

Everything I have tried here has been fantastic! While people might complain about the price, the cost is in line with any other good patisserie. The Almond/Matcha/Roasted sesame croissants are amazing and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Jenny Hong

Hands down the best croissants I've ever had!

Vanessa Agrawal

Lucky enough to have a chance to try their croissants. They were AMAZING! My personal favorite is the one with black sesame paste! It's unique and the flavors work so well!! Just have never thought of having these flavors going together! The texture was top notch!

Joanna

Just trying out the pastry after taken over by the new owner. Good pastry but such a BIG rip off! A regular plain croissant for $3.25, and with vanilla custard fillings for another $2.80 ($6.05 in total)??? The croissant itself is exactly the same as the plain ones, all they did was just to put some vanilla custard inside the croissant and charged for almost $3more which was totally unacceptable! There're many other good bakeries in town with reasonable price. Will not return again.

Jenny Chan

The best croissants out there. My fav stuffed croissant is the black sesame. But their breggfast is so good and so is their spicy cheese knots.

Daniel

I changed it from a 5 star to a 4 star, because Sunday is the best day to eat a croissant and they're closed. ????

Paul Godman

This is the best almond croissant I’ve ever had, including from France and Belgium!

Van Pham

Love this place - some of the best croissants I've ever had! Very friendly staff (the pastry chef here used to work at Teatro!). Its a nice place to stop at while shopping on 17th but they do have limited seating (couple bar seats).

Jeremy Medina

Amazing pastries. It’s very hard to find quality like this, and to see such a personable business in Calgary is very cool. I didn’t find the pastries expensive at all, especially for the amount of work that goes into them. By far the best croissants I’ve had in a very long time.

Brittany Back

But that almond croissant

Matthew Sattlegger

Get the Breggfast, you will not be disappointed.

Adam Dunsire

Absolutely not messin around when it comes to pastries here...Experimental. Fun. Super tasty. Well made. I wish I could give this place an extra star. Well done!

Daisy Chou

The best sesame croissant ever. The moment you get it, you will feel like what is in this bag? Because it’s surprisingly heavy, yet the moment you have your first bite, you will instantly realize why. It’s full of sooo much creamy perfect not too sweet sesame paste inside and has a heavenly crispy outside. Seriously shockingly delicious. I tried my first one when I was quite full but it got me immediately. Be careful though, because it’s hard to compromise to other sweet croissants after trying theirs. ???? It’s my designated birthday breakfast from husband. ♥️

Olive Carlos

Top notch patisserie that serves unique and unforgettable items. Their pastries are so good that we have tried almost all their items and love all of them!

North Campervans

Just delish!

Yaneth Yate

Delicious. ????

SHERLY BRACK

Fresh bakery store, price is a bit much ???? For 1 Vanilla Custard Croissant $6 ???? But the product quality no doubt is a 5 ⭐. For more food pics follow my Insta : @sherly_brack

Jen M

I am only basing this on a butter croissant and a day old cinnamon roll

Schan Pepin

Super cute and delicious, everyone was very nice and we will be back for sure ????

Jolene Courtney

Delicious baked goods and super nice people ????????

Haley Steel

One of the best bakerys in town. The croissants are comparable to those in France. Best almond croissants in town, and the most cinamony cinamon buns, even for someone who puts cinamon an everything I can. Thank you for your delicious treats. I've got my office addicted too.

A La Rose

Yummy, yummy, yum-yum ~!

Jade Krogh

Best pastry shop in Calgary

Martin Larry

Lovely people great croissants. I HIGHLY recommend the double baked sesame. Only thing is seating bar is a bit awkward

Adrian Dayrit

I had such a delicious croissant here that I can't wait to come back. They have some classic croissants but also some unique flavours. They make new flavours weekly it seems. The croissant I had was flaky, buttery and perfect. The people working there were also extremely helpful in helping me decide which one to get.

Ken Lam

Very good food and nice staff. If you go early in the day, you can snag day old pastries for $1 and it's very worth!

Jessica Connors

Have been following on Instagram forever and finally stopped in for a croissant. It was perfect! Not too flaky that you hate it for going everywhere, but still light with great flavour. Will go back to try more!

Spencer Currie

Love the variety and freshness here. Really creative

Patrick Finn

Absolutely amazing food and service! Highly recommended for those visiting the city and locals.

Kendra Thiessen

I have never met anyone more happy, enthusiastic and genuinely personable than the owner of butter block. She is so passionate and proud of her work and she has every right to be. You couldn't find a single pastry in her shop that is anything less than absolutely incredible. I have supported her since before she opened her shop and will continue to do so for as long as she chooses to keep it open. It is a must try for anyone visiting Calgary or from here and is just looking to try something new. You will be hooked instantly!

atakan beyi

Good and tasty stuff..Good customer service..Their handwrite menu is unique.

Jacob McConnell

Top top top. Go here. They’re so good.. I just came home with a cheese knot, a Kim chi sausage Danish, and the Breggfast. All rich, delicious and perfect with a coffee. Just the right amount of everything you want in your baked goods. It’ll get the endorphins going it’s so good.

Galina Tserkovny

Tried their pastel de nata, the pastry was somewhat hard bite into and the cream has too much shugar

Lyna P

Test run on every Tuesday for half price. Best croissant in town

Alaa Yaseen

Sooo good, artisanal pastries, you need to go early to find more variety of their products Pastel de nata is only for 2.5 btw :)

Sarah Newman

We came in here unknowingly and found some of the most delicious baked goods and savory snacks!!

Angelica Fernandez

Excellent croissants!! I love them

CY Siu

An awesome, heart stopping bakery made in a french + asian fusion way. Their specialty croissants are a good way to introduce yourself to this tucked away in a classic building bakery. Everything is flaky and crispy (lots of butter indeed). They also sell frozen options for you to bake at home. They offer a variety of baked basics to goods.

Jackson Le

Very good pastry shop. They make fresh croissant With many different flavours such as vanilla custard filling, Almond filling, chocolate and many other various of flavors. They also sell frozen croissants so you can bake at home nice and fresh. Definitely give this place a shot you could smell the fresh bakery here.

J

OMG! I tried the almond crossiant here today... TO DIE FOR! Fresh and soft inside with freshly sliced almonds on top. I will be going back to try their cinnamon buns soon!

Arianne F

Butter Block & Co's pop-up shop is located on the first floor in the Devenish building (former location of Itza Bakery). Currently only taking cash or credit. Her current croissant fillings are black sesame and matcha. I LOVED BOTH. Double baked croissants provide a nice crisp, crunchy outside, while the inside stays moist and flaky. The fillings are just right: amount is not too much/little, filling flavours are not overpowering, it partners well with the croissant. She also does wholesale orders. I will definitely be a regular here!

Christopher Campbell

Would drive well out of my way to come here.

Nicholas Greene

If you're in the neighborhood, you owe it to yourself to stop in. Their stuffed croissants are absolutely delicious, and they have a ton of other baked goods perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. The atmosphere is great, as well - friendly staff and an overall positive vibe. Try checking it out on Tuesday morning - every week, they have a different experimental item available to try.

Mark Rossi

There are very few places in Calgary that can make pastries this consistently tasty! The cheese knot is my all time favourite and I would eat it every day if I could, so flaky, so crispy, so melt in your mouthy! Also the pain au chocolat and the croissants are incredible! Keep up the good work butter block!

Brad Hamm

The natas (Custard Tarts) are amazing!

Lyndsay C

Amazingly delicious baked goods! Super friendly and it is very easy to order online any of their freshly baked or frozen goods and pick up at a later date. Croissants are amazing of course but I especially love their natas, craffles (croissants waffles!), and bread pudding!

Judy Lo

Have to try all the pastries at Butter Block! They are fantastic and delicious ????

Ryan Eriksen-Mckenzie

Fantastic! Perhaps the best chocolate croissant I've ever had. The ham & egg croissant is also phenomenal. Great way to start a morning.

Michael Spyker

Really good, and most importantly consistent croissants and cookies. I make sure to pick some baking up when my girlfriend comes into town, and they are always open early with fresh pastries that are always superb.

Jeff Cheng

Best croissants I had ever

KC

Stopped by one of their pop up locations. The croissants are fresh but not as flakey or as flavourful as expected.

Harold Lau

Very poor customer service, will not revisit.

Irtaza Tahir

I had their coconut pandan croissant. It was quite delicious with a ton of butterycoconut filling and a crispy coconut topping. the pastry itself was an interesting colour of green perhaps from the pandan...however i didnt really taste the pandan flavour itself...overall it was a great product that i will be trying to replicate at home. I di think however that the filling was a wee bit too greasy and sweet - one could definitly go down on the butter and sugar. I would also recommend that they offer hot drinks like coffee or espresso.

Cindy Tong

The croissants were a big hit with the families. I delivered the care packages and my nephew absolutely loved the craffles. And a big thank you to the kind lady who offered not once not twice but three times to help me carry the boxes to my car. So friendly and helpful

MANAL H

This bakery is a total gem in the city, they have the BEST baked goods and pastries! I can literally come here daily!

Stephanie S

Love the cheese knots! The croissants and pretty much anything from here is delicious, both savoury and sweet alike. Such a nice treat on a Saturday morning.

Aaron B

Pastel de Nata were incredible!

Obaid Malik

Amazing croissants that are buttery and flaky goodness. We tried their butter croissants (nice flaky crust with a buttery inside), our daughter polished off her chocolate croissants and the Mrs absolutely loved her cheese knot. The Portuguese egg tart was nice too. Will definitely be back!

Jon Wilkins

Amazing, get there early.

Alex Wan

Friendly staff, delicious pastries, what more could one ask for!?

Lisa Lopez

This is literally the BEST bakery in Alberta hands down! They have the freshest pastries my God!!! The Pumpkin Croissant, chocolate chip cookies, Banana pudding I mean I can keep going! I think I’ve tried everything. It’s all delicious and extremely fresh! It’s a gem hidden away and a must visit.

Su Ying Strang

So delicious! Have had their regular fare and it’s always been good, but had one of their specialty stuffed croissants the other day and it blew me away!

I L

My friend buy me pastries there, and u can tell it is hand-craft.

RL A

Their PANDAN croissants are absolutely one of the best things you will ever try if you like pandan. Their almond croissant is one of the best in the city. Cute, small shop in a trendy and vintage building. They sell out quick though, so try to get there as early as you can for best selection!

Wilfred Ng

Great local bakery with Sweet and Savory treats.

George Gong

Great little bakery. Croissants are delicious and their portuguese egg tarts are done really well.

Tricia C

This is a fun little bakery tucked away in this historical building on 17th Street. They and have a variety of croissants in sweet and savoury flavours. There are other baked goods as well. Will be back to try out other items.

Matt Homme

I asked for a paper receipt and I was made to feel like a clown and a chump.

Candy Leung

Will not go back to this place.

Anh Phan

I don't understand what the hype is. They open at 730a on weekdays. I went there Wed morning around 10a thinking Im there early....there was literally nothing left but 3 plain croissants....every thing else was a savory item: cookies, Danish, bread pudding. I asked if there was more and she said anything they have out us all they have left. If u know u sell the matcha, almond and sesame croissants like hot cakes I don't understand why u wouldn't make more. Such a waste of time to only find out I need to be there when the store opens to get better selections. The plain croissant in my opinion was a little hard on the ends but soft in the middle....I don't think a filling could save this. Will go to yann haute next time

Janice Fung

I’ve been a long time fan since the beginning. Stopped by monogram to pick up beans and was delighted to see a case full of butter block almond croissants! I bought three to take home with me and enjoy with my family. I’m not sure if the recipe for the almond spread was changed but today’s croissant was the best I’ve ever had! The filling was thicker, wetter, and the texture was the perfect level of sandiness. Highly recommend!

Ryan Szol

Amazing food and staff! 10/10 recommend Careful with the white chocolate scones though. They tend to disappear ????

Shanna Chew

Amazing croissants with unique flavour combinations! I highly recommend.

Kelly Tong

Super yummy and freshly baked croissants!!

Christina Shin

Amazing local bakery! The Baba Ganoush croissant is delicious. Can't to try everything else on the menu!

Ashley Hardes

Absolutely the best!!! Thank you so much to the team at butter block for providing some amazing croissants for the Housekeeping Team at my hotel They were a big hit and everyone loved them.

Daniel KONG

They are very hard working people and provide wonderful bakery for our community.

Brad Bj

The best croissant in Calgary. Seriously. Located on the main floor of the historic Devenish Building this tiny bakery has some big clout with it's legit French-style multi-layered-with-butter croissants. The black sesame is a personal favorite as well as the Kouign Amann. This is a grab & go spot so take an opportunity to go for a walk down 17th to one of the local coffee spots or to the park across the street and enjoy your flaky doughed baby.

Fiona W

Amazing unique croissants and friendly service.

Karen Amies

I had the MOST AMAZING chocolate/hazelnut croissant!!! Crrrrrunchy on the outside, full of decadent chocolate filling, and buttery goodness everywhere!! Well worth the price!! Croissant’s for the Gods!!

Alexia Huezo Canas

I LOVE Butter Block! When you enter the devenish the scent of their freshly baked pastries floods your senses and takes you to a world of bliss! The staff are amazingly sweet and caring, always help you with a smile and have the best recommendations. The pastries are yummy, crunchu and flavorful. My absolute favorites are the pastel de nata and the almond croissant. I cannot emphasize enough how AMAZING this shop is!

Andy Moon

Friendly service, lots of variety, and tasty croissants with good value. The moment you step into the building, you’ll be greeted with tantalizing smells. Instead of a brown paper bag, a to-go box would be better for ease of carrying and prevent them from getting tossed around.

Karen Wong

I would go here everyday if I could!!

Elaine Wong

Locally owned bakery with daily baked croissants. Dessert and savoury flavours available, and of course, all the traditional ones. They also have other featured items which are also really good !!

M. Silva

Addicting cookies!

Yan C

Hands down the best almond croissant in town! Also tried their savory danish and banana bread pudding all dangerously delicious. Definitely will be back again.

Casey Carson

Almond croissant, say no more

Melody

One of the best croissants in Calgary :)

May Chiu

I'm glad we stopped in. Their interpretation of croissant is incredible. We were very pleasantly surprised with the rich flavour and nice crunchy, but delicate texture of the black sesame and the Pandan croissants that we had. We will definitely come back.

les ham

Baking was just okay. There were several people working and they actually seemed annoyed that I was there to buy something. Won’t be back as there is a much better bakery just across the street that is much better and the staff very welcoming.

Gordon Sinn

Have you had their cinnamon bun? If not you're missing out Ha! Their almond croissant is also one of the best in the city. Lots of great filling :). Tuesday they always have new test run pieces that allow you to get a glimpse or what's coming next.

Rebecca Civitarese

delicious. everything is fresh and you can tell you are eating something made from high quality ingredients and love!

J. Gauley

Exceptional almond croissants.
