WOW! The pastries and cakes are delicious from what I had. Service was on point and they even offered a complementary pastry. Definitely will be back.
Amazing red velvet cake and the staff are very friendly as well.
I would give them 6 stars if I could!! Outstanding! Green tea chiffon cake and sweet potato mousse cake are fabulous, their savoury pastries are delicious too (try the croquettes and the danishes!). Ooh also the chocolate mousse cake was delish!
I ordered a cake for Mother’s Day. When I went to pick it up I provided my name and showed my receipt, they told me they would be back but proceeded to continuously ask me for my name and what had I ordered while they looked for my cake. After about 20 mins they hand me a cake and one of the staff rudely told me that next time I should just provide my name and show my receipt. When I explained that I had she just waived her hands and left. The cake was dry and plain, barely had any strawberries and it was just a big disappointment and after how they treated me I will not be back.
Their cake is very fresh, so if you don't have a requirement on specifically larger than 6'', walking in is not a bad choice. I walked in to another Korean bakery and bought a cake for my friend's birthday party, and the cake turned out not very fresh. The sponge was feeling dry already. I walked in to this store and picked a strawberry cream cake one day because I was in a cake mood, and it was very delicious.
price is firm, quality is down. At first, It was good.
Excellent craft and presentation. Great value for money!!! Best in the area, Hands Down!!!
A little expensive but good quality
We ordered the strawberry cake and it was delicious. Light and creamy. Make sure to order a week in advance for a larger size. We picked up close to closing, service was very quick service.
I got the tiramisu and it was delicious! The staff are super friendly and sweet. I loved it
My favourite Korean bakery in town! Love their chocolate chiffon cake!!
Love wow bakery. They seem to have the worst luck with the building they are in, but for Asian style and Asian quality pastries and cakes there is no other place in YYC that even comes close. The chocolate croissants are a real standout. Bit pricey, but worth it!
Fricken amazing feel like I'm in France again ???? and cheap for French style pastries!!!!!
We go here when we are craving a high quality, simple ingredient list and not cloyingly sweet cake. Really like the earl grey slices.
The baking is pretty good but I think they use a lot of additives and dough conditioner to keep their stuff soft and moist longer. I could tell because my stomach doesn’t like those ingredients and reacted strongly to their treats. Wish it was better, especially since the prices are pretty high for something that isn’t really as nice as it looks.
They have the best croissants! Such a great bakery. Even their macaroons (the coconut kind) have a different texture which is much nicer than the store bought ones. Nice staff.
The cake is nice and fluffy! Love the tiramisu!!
Tried this lovely bakery in chinook ! The store is clean and fresh, the pastries are yummy, unique and different from a western bakery. 10/10 would recommend you try this Jem!
A delicious selection of croquettes, stuffed croissants and cheesy breads. I wish they didn't wrap then in so much plastic though.
Very beautiful shop, trendy and clean. Came in on a Saturday morning and there was a giant selection of the fresh, tender and flaky pastries. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Asian flavored breads (sweeter than normal), great pastries (savory and sweet), donuts and cookies. The only thing I have not tryed yet are the cakes, but they look very good. So I have lots to look forward to now that I already have some favorites. My wife said it reminded her of good bakeries from back home in Taiwan. And we are happy to have found this finally. We hope to be here often.
I ordered a cake through the online delivery service on April 3rd. It was scheduled to be delivered on April 8th. I received a confirmation email and they charged my card. It's the 10th today and we did not receive the cake! I called all 3 locations on the 8th and 9th but there was no answer. I left voicemails and a message on their social media with no response. Unprofessional and terrible customer service. I want my money back!!
Delicious bake goods need to come back and try some other items.
We tried their delivery for the first time. Ordered a tiramisu and chestnut bread. I’ve had both in store before and tasted great. We were delivered a frozen tiramisu and a definitely 2 day old, stale loaf of bread. Emailed and messaged with no response. Finally called them and was told that it definitely was fresh, I must be wrong. I would not recommend this company.
The smell of light angel food cake brought me in the front door,..the cheese smoky in a bun with baked on ketchup will keep me coming back!!
I love this bakery, they actually make stuff that's a good level of sweetness. Most bakeries are WAY too sweet, but this is perfect. I love how they also have pretty cake slices that are perfect for last minute birthday surprises. Also, they have these corndog things that are unreal. I have to try to stop myself every time I go.
Ordered green tea chiffon cake for my hubby’s B-day. it has too much whipped cream on the top. The portion of the sponge cake is small. Basically it feels like eating whipped cream only. It tasted very heavy. I ended up with eating the cake only and throwing away the cream. But the cake tastes great. I will still visit here again as I can’t find a better place in Calgary for a traditional Asian B-day cake.
I am no expert but I feel Korean bakery is quite similar to Japanese. This place is clean, tidy and good looking inside. We ordered a birthday cake for a family member and it was not too sweet. Excellent. Prices are generally a bit higher than the others we have been.
Enjoyed all the various items we picked up. Buns were soft, fresh and delicious. Not very sweet or heavy. Clean, organized and well labeled items. Most individually packaged. I look forward to trying one of their full size cakes.
Great selection of cakes!
This Korean style bakery is so wonderful. Specially, I recommend birthday cake. The shape is not only beautiful but also taste is yummy.
One star just for decoration of pastries!! The pastries were old, the cream was awfully test bad ! And finally very expensive for the low quality! I got 8 pieces, tried all with family and they were all test the same, terrible!!
Love all the desserts. Wanna get one of each kind.
I went here for the first time and everything here is AMAZING!
Good price compare to quality. No complain. Awsomw taste. Not too sweet.
Don't know the place
(Translated) Oh ㅠ expensive matitneunde (Original) 아 맛있는데 ㅠ비싸요
Too expensive. About 3 or 4 bucks at min. and their sweet potato and red bean is TOO sugary
Cute bakery! Breads were really good but they don't have sitting area
Everything I've had from this Japanese / Korean bakery has been excellent. Ingredients are listed on little signs so you see all the natural ingredients.
WOW. Walking in the door you're immediately hit with an amazing bakery smell. Everything I bought was sooooo delicous. Earl grey cake slice was moist, fresh, soft and not too sweet. The jalapeno olive bun was also very soft and fresh. Potato bacon bun, also fresh and killer tasting. YUMMM. I will 100% be back for more delights!! Thank you
The cake, pastries, butter bread, and macaroon are very well made. It is definitely a hidden gem. It is a bit pricey but worth to order the cake on special occasion.
Very cute and delicious. Prices were pretty good and the interior was beautiful
Been hearing many good things about this bakery so finally checked it out. There are many unique cake flavours like earl grey, red velvet, sweet potato, and many more. The cakes are not too sweet and most of them are around $32.00 so not too bad. If you want them to provide a name plate for the cake, make sure you call ahead of time to order.
My complaint isn’t for this location, I generally love the service I get at all locations except for the new Royal Oak location. I’m placing my review here because the Royal Oak location has no to little online presence and I am unable to properly review. The operations at the Royal oak location is horrendous. No digital presence. A new opening should have all their ducks in a row, at least with how to find your business and learn what you are offering. Especially during a pandemic, digital methods for customers to gain information or order should be paramount. I can’t find the address, menu for The cafe or anything online. Only some photos on social media. Covid safety protocols aren’t enforced properly. And line up navigation should have proper signage. If you don’ want people to enter a certain door lock it or have a sign that says “please use other door”. Instead they have a long sign about how it’s unfair to shop at both cafe and bakery..I’m really confused at their priorities. As I finally figure how to enter the location. I watched as people left the line from confusion or customers all walking in the “wrong” door. The only enforcement is a worker who seems to have her job spilt. eventually blocks you as you try to enter and redirects you. I must say, she must not be happy or really stressed, cause I’ve been here three times and all three times she’s not very pleasant to talk too. line ups are going out the door and no one is managing the line up outside or informing people of what’s going on. They also provide conflicting information. I ordered a cake for pick up. They asked if I need a receipt. I asked If I need it for pick up. They said no. I came to pick up and they asked for confirmation number which was not provided previously. Even if this is a franchise opening there should be consistency in their marketing and competent operations.
Ordered Tiramisu and sone focaccia bread for delivery. Arrived in time and the delivery person was very polite and friendly. Bread was actually nice and the Tiramisu tasted good , except that IT WAS NOT TIRAMISU!! What is supposed to be a ladyfingers dipped in coffee base was subbed for a chocolate sponge cake. Layers of mascarpone blend were subbed with straight cream cheese! Semi sweet at the max. So it was basically a chocolate cheescake with a very faint hint of coffee.
Best, fluffy and light Earl grey cakes in Calgary. They do not use butter cream and the cake is so tasty. Had this cake for the third time now! Always consistent, taste amazing!
WOW 10/10 customer service, atmosphere and food! Will be back for sure!!
Delicious and unique.
Omg... The cheese buns are so amazing!
Amazing baked goods and cakes. Love going early and grabbing some of the day old stuff on discount.
(Translated) The dry carrot cake cream was not enough and the cream was too hard.. I like carrot cake, so I tried it even though it didn't look pretty, but I was very disappointed. The other breads are very delicious, so I'll give you three. Dry carrot cake with not enough cream on the cake. Thought they were out of cream when they are making the cake. Cream was thick and hard but not good way hard. (Original) 드라이한 당근 케이크 크림도 부족하고 크림이 너무 단단했습니다.. 당근 캐잌 좋아해서 외관이 이쁘지 않아도 시켜보았는데 큰 실망했습니다 크림을 이상하게 감싸놓으셨던데 만드시다 크림이 부족하셨나 싶을정도였습니다 연구가 필요해 보입니다 다른 빵은 참 맛있는 곳이어서 3개 드려요 Dry carrot cake with not enough cream on the cake. Thought they were out of cream when they are making the cake. Cream was thick and hard but not good way hard.
Earl grey cake was incredibly delicious!!! Definitely going to be my new birthday cake flavour!
So good! My favorite bakery in the city
It’s well named, Wow, everything I tried was so yummy. Cool to see the Asian and French influence.
Love this bakery everything is always fresh and delicious and prices are great
Was here for the first time last week. It’s a small bakery so I wasn’t expecting much when I walked in but holy cannoli the cakes were beautiful and perfect! We left with a gorgeous Red Velvet cake that tasted like heaven! We also left with a handful of smaller baked goods that were equally amazing! Will be back, so happy we made the drive to find this bakery!
Love this place! Such good foods!
My favorite bakery. So many delicious, unique breads, buns, cakes, and treats. Friendly staff and great value.
Typical Asian flavours, excellent quality, and more expensive than the what you would typically expect for an Asian bakery.
(Translated) The bread is delicious, clean. But Catherine seems to have a bad feeling about something stiff. Would it be okay if you carry expensive things? Hehe (Original) 빵 맛있군요, 깨끗하고요. 근데 캐셔분이 뭔가 뻣뻣 하니 기분이 별로이신듯. 뭐 비싼거 걸치고 가면 괜찮을라나요? ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Wow bakery taste was good, but now it is changed. Taste is so bad now.... Please go back the original status.
OMG! So yummy so delicious once you enter you can't out without buying their cakes and other bakery items. Smell so good and taste so delicious highly professionals in all items including occasional cakes. Free parking free handicap parking no public washroom-. I give them 10/10. Go with kids they will love it
Good baked goods, friendly staff
I needed a last minute birthday cake for my son and searched up this cute little bakery near Chinook Mall. I called first to make sure they had ready buy cakes. So happy I made the stop! I ordered the whipped cream cake and it was a hit. Not too sweet, fluffy and quite delicious. I will be back :)
Very friendly staff and not to mention bake goods were delicious.
Favorite bakery in Calgary. Variety of creative, mouthwatering pastries and desserts. Quality of bread sets the standard for any other bakeries in town. However the cashier seemed to be quite consistently rude, throughout my multiple visits.
Wow is right. Great pastries. The smell in the store is so good too. Filled with the yummy pastry smells. Lots of varieties to choose from. And awesome cakes.
Yummy place????
I love Korean breads, and this is far my favorite bakery!! The matcha cake is my favorite too! If you like something sweet but not so much this bakery is for you ♥️
They said they're Korean style and yes, they are - but very old style, not current one. The cakes are looking good but when I tried pretty much all flavors, all taste were the same - except for the sweet potato. Too dry sponge cakes and not fresh - I felt they were old and I think they should put more wet ingredients. I wouldn't buy cakes from here but their other pastries are okay. But, still you can find better places.
Amazing baked goods! The earl grey cake is to die for!
I love this bakery. Yes, it's a bit pricy but it's worth every penny spent. So what if you don't have to buy a cake every day. I pick up baked goods to surprise my sweetheart. These cakes for birthdays or special occasions are a must. Go ahead, try one, you'll be hooked. They're that good. Cheers!
Love all the cakes made here! Yummy pastries and other baked goods too.
All the breads are delicious and the variety is very rich. The lady also very patient and kind. Will visit often.
Such nice people, and their food is made with love.
Amazing Korean/Japanese fusion bakery. They have many of the traditional steamed buns etc that you would expect, as well as some fantastic cakes. If you like traditional flavors I suggest the strawberries and cream cake, if you want something more complex their Earl Grey cake is exceptional. It starts out very subtle, but the more you eat the more the flavor intensifies and different aspects come to the foreground. If you are a fan of custard, their custard buns and milk mochi buns are not to be missed. My personal favorite though is their red bean donut. The red bean paste cuts the sweetness of the donut, bringing it down to a much more enjoyable level instead of the over sweetness of most traditional donuts. It is also much more filling than a donut normally is, leaving me satisfied after only one.
Food is amazing, the place is super clean and the staff is really friendly. The quality and freshness of the food is unbelievably good. They make sweet and savory baked goods that are fresh daily. Every treat I've tried now has been delicious. Great selection and something for everyone. They make super deluxe cakes too. Prices are also super reasonable.
Just like the name says "wow".
We brought sweet potato cake form this store three times. It was $27/cake for two times. I phoned in and my husband picked up yesterday, the cake price went up to $32/cake. It is way OVERPRICED. I am not sure the cake price at all. It was went up or because I phoned in and give a good comments about the cake. It was unpleasant experience. I will not come again.
Great tasting Asian style treats. Their Red Bean buns in particular are my favorite.
I contacted the bakery about getting a cake made, but was told they were refusing to help me, before even being told what kind of cake i wanted or was looking for. They didn’t even take the time to try and find a solution or offer different baked goods, after very rudely telling me they were refusing to bake and sell me a cake.
Earl grey chiffon cake was very nice, not too sweet, airy and fluffy, and came with blueberry macarons. They threw in a green tea bun with the cake along with candles and a chocolate piece with a personalized message. Good service and value for $32.
Best bakery around Chinook
Amazing place, smells so good, as soon as you walk through the door you want to buy everything you see. Great customer service, was created with kindness and a smile.
Definitely not cheap but taste good. Liked their cakes
Cute bakery Variety of snacks
Hidden gem, not your usual fare, but all quality! Love the custard buns and the croquettes are fantastic. Service is always friendly and never had to wait.
Friendly staff, good atmosphere. Tried the chocolate cake (shaped like a cube). Phenomenal! The pillar of creamy chocolate in the middle was just right. Will definitely be back for more.
My favorite thing to get is the custard bun. Instantly hooked. I've tried almost everything they have to offer except the cake. Fresh everyday and often slim pickings near the end of the day. Friendly employees, clean, no bathroom, nice branding, take and go style.
I was leaving Revive Laser upstairs and was drawn in by the amazing smell! There wasn't a huge selection because they were getting ready to close, but I grabbed some bread, pastry and the most delicious piece of cake ever! The baked goods are so good I almost wish I didn't discover this little gem! The lady working was very friendly and helpful.
The bakery has so many options you can pick from. The rice cake thingy is the best. This is the red velvet cake.
Really great place for a dessert whether you're buying a whole cake, baked goodies, or even a slice. The Earl Grey chiffon cake was so light and amazing. Definitely coming back again
They have the best French / Asian bakery in Calgary, nothing compares! Red bean buns with fresh cream, chestnut bread, cakes, everything is awesome!
This was about the 4th time I have chosen to come to this newer location. As I have resided in this neighborhood, I was one of the first to enter when this place had limited business at the beginning. This will be the Last time they get any of my business. I entered expecting a pleasant and lite dessert. Lo and behold, upon entry, the attendant decided to kiss up to my company and purposely ignore me when I went to look at her to say a hello and a greeting. I was instantly feeling Unwelcome, she continued to butter up to my company. Gave the attendant another chance to even make eye contact with me and to at least say something. Instead, she purposely ignored me and cruelly looked away. However, she proceeded to smile and kiss face to the other asian and white entrants. I also wanted to give her my request for a beverage, and again, she wouldn't even regard me. Not even in her so-called 'Paris' logo shirt. Je dites que tu est une Folle. So, I downsized my order to a hot water only. I also requested a Black Forest Cake slice, and the first bite literally tasted poisonous. Still looking around and toward the attendant, she was certain to continue smiling and kissing face toward my company, while still giving me ignorant and dirty looks. The end of the story is I will no longer go to this Marda Puke location, and their business will have no more Ching Ching business from me. Even my hair was styled nicely as I had just come from my respectable hair dresser. Don't even bother going to their 'New' location at the Horizon Mall, either. This was Purposeful Discrimination. Dumb Foreigners. It's Okay, I'll stay away. Don't want to get as Fat as Kim Jong Un anyways. Go ahead and lose your Blanc account here. For much better quality and service, check out Sucre Patisserie as a suggestion. Have been to places in the United States where Americans have spoken French, along with a combination of good service, effort, interest and a lack of relative rudeness have been well received in comparison. Blow this popstand.
yummy pastry
Delicious
They make one of the best cream in town. Lemon and tiramisu cake are my favorite.
Absolutely fabulous desserts and snack assortment, very addicting. A friendlier staff member could have been an icing on the cake.
Customer service is great. No complaints on that. However, I don’t think it’s worth the hype. Cookies are $3.50 a piece so I expected something really good. However, it’s super dry, like it’s been left there for a long time. Buns are also more pricey than other bakeries in town, but nothing really special. Again dry. I don’t think I’ll visit again.
Rude
(Translated) WOW bakery is my favorite cake shop in Calgary. Almost all my friends have a birthday, I will order cakes from it! Compared with the larger cake shops in Tonghua and downtown, this is not the usual grade! The store clerk is almost all Korean, but the product is very similar to the domestic cake shop! I think their cakes and breads are so delicious that they won't be trampled at all. Matcha cakes, marble cakes, red velvet, sweet sweet potatoes and cheesecakes are delicious. Cheesecake is really addictive, but every time you buy a small piece, you will still get tired of eating too much. Sweet sweet potato sweet potato flavor is really authentic! Red velvet looks good! Marble is also a bit greasy. Matcha is a good rule, and it will never step on the thunder. Bread is also delicious! There are also selling macarons. A variety of friends to Amway this store. really good! Recommended plus five stars praise! (Original) WOW bakery 是我在卡尔加里最喜欢的一家蛋糕店。几乎我所有的朋友过生日,我都会从它家订蛋糕!相比较大统华和downtown 几家蛋糕店来说,这家不一般的上档次!这家店店员几乎都是韩国人,但是产品很像国内的蛋糕店!我觉得他们家的蛋糕和面包好吃到完全不会踩雷。抹茶蛋糕,大理石蛋糕,红丝绒,甜地瓜还有芝士蛋糕都很好吃。芝士蛋糕真的上瘾,不过每次一般买小块,吃多了还是会腻。甜地瓜的地瓜味真的很正宗!红丝绒好看!大理石也是有点腻。抹茶就是中规中矩,绝对不会踩雷。面包也是各种好吃!还有卖马卡龙。各种给朋友安利这家店。真的很好!推荐加五星好评!
Very good bakery!!!
Love the pastry and baked goods. They have the best croissants in town, hands down.
My favourite bakery in this city and the only one with authentic korean goodies! Everything tastes like the bread from korea. My fav breads are the red bean bun, red bean and cream bun, and sweet potato bread. For cakes i really like their earl grey chiffon and sweet potato cake. The cakes are so light and fluffy and not too sweet, everyone always loves them :) Highly recommend.
The strawberry shortcake was light as air and delicious and so cute! The candles they included were adorable too. Also got some cookies and I don't know what they were called but they were buttery and crisp and addictive. Wish I lived here so I could try everything in there.
Very good prices for the quality you get!
Fantastic fluffy light cakes! Very kind staff.
WOW is right. What an absolute gem! They have a beautiful array of pastries, cakes and other baked goods served up in a Korean style bakery. Friendly service and high quality ingredients make up for the overall price. It was really difficult to not buy one of everything in there...but I will be back to eventually try it all.
Great cakes and pastries all around.
Cute place with tasty bakery
Kinda expensive but it looks pretty!
Best cake delivery in Calgary!
This is the most delicious place in yyc. Everything is always tasty and not as sweet as you might think. It's all so good.
Please delete the words Macleod Plaza from the Wow Bakery page. There is no Wow Bakery at Macleod Plaza, and I wasted a lot of time before finding it at Chinook Park Plaza. The cakes are okay although overpriced.
Delicious Tiramisu Cake!
Love their food! Especially the Cube
I have been a fan of Wow Bakery's baked goods and cakes for a couple of years now. We ordered a cake this past Mother's Day for our mom. It was a huge disappointment when we cut up the cake: ▪︎the the sponge cake was very dry ▪︎lack of whipped cream in between the layers, and ▪︎very minimal strawberries in bettwen the layer as well. Not to mention how sour the strawberries tasted. Not sure if this was due to a high number orders on mother's day...
I had the red velvet cake and it was out of this world.
This place has beautiful and tasty baked goods, but they are on the expensive side for what they are. Many of the buns are basically $3 with many closer to $5 for a single bun. With that said, they do make wonderful baked goods.
Love their cakes, the Belgium chocolate mousse cake and strawberry are the best cakes I have ever had!
Baked goods are fresh and not too sweet.
Absolutely lovely bakery with incredible treats and stunning cakes that taste as good as they look. Really made me feel like I was back in Korea~ prices great for the incredible quality of the baking! Some of the best 빵 ive had since being back in Canada
Loved the lemon cheesecake! The lady at the till was very friendly, the other one telling us about the bakery's specials was not.
Love the taste of everything here. The store is nice and clean with a lot of Covid protocols in place to protect the safety of customers. They have unique cake flavours that I am excited to try!
Large selection of pastries & beautiful cakes. Flavours present as listed (Earl Grey cake is amazing!) & everything is very fresh. Definitely coming back to try more! (5/5)
Best cakes in town. Always come in here for the pastries as well.
I personally like their strawberry cake. Nice and tasty!!
Amazing breads! Delicious cakes. Excellent staff. They are pretty gentle
I would rate this bakery for zero if there is one for customer service. I want to try this one and order more as my work place is very close by. I order online and call in to ask to put down "happy birthday" for my kid, so call in many times and they said no. we are in the nw and I have to pick up and drop off my kid's friends on that day, can't manage to go to Chinook to pick up. But they said no very clear. You loose a customer and many referrals. I want to order a few more and catering for my work place but definitely not this place. The worst customer service so far.
Great choice of cake. Is a bit pricy for slice. Everything is yummy and not too sweet
Three things that make me say WOW about their cakes. 1. Packaging that expresses a premium product 2. Appearance of the cake is a work of art 3. Delectable- cocoa sprinkled on top, mousse filling.
(Translated) It's a shop that you want to try various things. There was a Dojima roll (laughs) I think it's run in South Korea, but it's a Japanese-style restaurant. The style of putting your favorite bread on the tray is hard to find here, so it was fresh. (Original) ちょっと色々と試してみたいお店ですね。堂島ロールがありました(笑)韓国経営だと思いますが、日本テイストのお店ですね。トレーに好きなパンを乗せるスタイルはこちらではなかなか無いので新鮮でした。
I've never been disappointed here ! The cakes here are amazing ! The chiffon cakes aren't too sweet and are super light and fluffy.
Wow is right... The quality of the pastries they have here is exceptional. The croissants are among the best I have had in the city. The style is Korean which is not quite the same as a traditional French croissants, but are incredible in their own right. They have beautiful cakes, cookies, savour snacks, and pastries for any occasion. Prices are beyond fair for their premium product.
Seemed like a polish bakery in calgary 4 out of 5
A bit over rated in my opinion... The items I tried we're, almond croissant, which I found to be very dry for a croissant. The croquettes, which looked like they were fried in oil that needed to be changed, they were very dark in color but both varieties tasted okay. Nothing to rave about. The coconut macaroons were strange, dry and cake like. I prefer the Filipino ones with a chewy texture and more coconut flavor. I had a slice of the green matcha rolled cake which I also found to be dry and didn't taste of matcha just sweet. We also got the donut with red bean filling and found the filling to be to grainy. I prefer it to be more smooth and less pasty in texture. The only item I liked, was the milk bun filled with cream cheese. But again, I don't think I'd go out of my way to get it again. The store is also very tiny making it difficult for customers to select items without bumping into one another.
Best cakes in the city. Not to sweet.
WOW what a bakery! I only buy my birthday cakes here for everyone in my family. The matcha chiffon cake was my most recent buy and it was amazing! I love the care and professional baking that goes into every single item in this shop. Literally everything is amazing, delicious, mouth watering. Go in the morning to snag some 50% off day old bread ( which is still amazing )
I tried their strawberry cake it was a little dry, unlike the earl grey and mocha cake they're are pretty good
Got a Matcha Croissant, was very good. All the desserts look beautiful!
Bought a croissant - it was like a mille feuille cake where you could taste each layer. Super flaky, and while it wasn't soft consistency, it was still delicious. Everything has a fresh cream (flavored or not) inside that makes even the bagel seem like a dessert. Went back and bought the green tea chiffon cake. Mixed reviews of how strong the green tea flavor was (some found it very strong, others found it very light) but everyone agreed the cream was delicious and there's definitely a thick layer of it. $32 plus tax.
Wow bakery never fails to amaze!!!! I have tried the pastries and cakes. All of them have been amazingly fresh and delicious. I would personally recommend Tiramisu cake/ pastry.
Very tasty quality bread
Delicious bread
Expencive
This place is great for getting a baked snack after shopping at Chinook centre. A little pricey, and something the selection is small, but definitely worth visiting.
What a place to spend time in. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food they create is wonderful Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy ????????
Delicious baked goods
They have the best cakes! Very tasty and not super sweet. Just perfect
So far have tried the Green tea matcha chiffon cake and the Earl Grey Chiffon Cake as well as many pastries (love the one with the hot dog in it--see pic). The cakes were light and moist, and the icing is whipped. A wonderful balance of flavours, and not overly sweet. Cakes are beautiful in presentation with a sturdy take out box and they also provide you with a serrated plastic knife that is appropriate for this kind of cake. We Can't wait to try more cakes and pastries!
Perfact bakery
Great costumer service
I have been looking for a good chocolate mousse cake for a while. A good friend of mine found one at Wow Bakery and WOW was it amazing. Usually I find bakeries make their mousse cakes way too sweet. This was perfect a little bit of cake (slightly dry but help with cutting the sweet down) and a good amount of the mousse making it the star, which it should be. So beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked!
Amazing shop, very welcoming staff and environment. DELICIOUS FOOD!
The baking and cakes are some of the best and unique creations. The care staff show their guests is not something you come across very often. Some of the kindest folks that will keep you coming back.
I love most of their pastries (some are a little bit too sweet). Staff is great and price are pretty good.
Love the macarons! Did not disappoint!! Super friendly service! :)
Korean style bakery with a crazy variety of choices. So far I have tried close to 10 different offerings from them and nothing have disappointed.
Awesome bakery! Love there stuff!
We got the strawberry cake and found the cake to be very dry even when eaten with the cream. Also, for what the cake was, thought it was pricey. For that amount you can get a nicer and better tasting cake somewhere else.
So yum!
They are my number favourite bakery store in town. If u didn't try their birthday cake yet, you cannot say u hv a real happy birthday, because their cake really makes me happy.
I bought four different pastries, very delicious and reasonably priced in my opinion!
Decadent pastries! One of those must go places.
Couldn't decide on one particular cake for a small birthday celebration because they all looked amazing. Ended up getting a few single slices. Bavarian Chocolate, Strawberry, and Red Velvet. I can honestly say all of them were some of the most fullhflavored cakes I've had. Not just a pile of sugar, but flavor. Even my 7 year old said it was the best cakes he had had. I will be going back and recommending for sure! Forgot to mention the friendliness of the staff there too.
It's so cool to have this little bakery here! My fiance and I like to buy a slice of their strawberry cake or some pastries to share after dinner.
The ladies here are SO nice! The deserts are even better (:
The chiffon in their cakes is very light and not very sweet. Personally I think the price is worth it. You can tell all their products are fresh. The texture is super soft and the flavours are beyond decadent. It has become my go-to bakery when ordering a birthday cake for a loved one.
The baked goods were delicious! The store was well put together and the staff was very friendly! I'll definitely add this to my list of favorite bakeries. :D Side Note: Custard Bun had really great custard to bun ratio. SO GOOD!
My favourite croissants!
Reminds me of Korea, delicious food and the staff are very friendly.
Husband got an over priced strawberry cake for $40. Tasted ok, tad better than what it looked like. Absolutely no decoration, just plain white cake with pieces of strawberries in it. Not worth my 40 bucks! Never buying from this place again. There are many great bakeries in Calgary that would do a much better job at making a cake look and taste worth that much money!!!
Cute little bakery located right next to chinook. Lots of sweet and savoury pastries to choose from. They’re all unique and familiar. All baked good are reasonably priced. Highly recommend to give them a try. There is seating area it is more of a grab and go bakery. No coffee or tea is served here as well.
There is a lot of good stuff os not the cheapest place but goood
The sign said open till 6 p.m. but they were closed around 5 p.m. Better get your hours straight!
Very disappointed. I ordered this cake 2 days in advance without nuts due to an allergy, got it home, it had nuts on it and the icing is cracked all over and the middle isn't even iced. Not the quality I was hoping for and can't get another one without nuts in time for my birthday party plans. Very unsatisfied.
WOW! We ordered 3 beautiful cakes from Wow Bakery (Marda Loop) for a team celebration at Emerald Management & Realty Ltd. The cakes were almost too pretty to eat - excited to report they tasted even better than they looked. Highly recommend the strawberry cream, red velvet and earl grey cakes. From all of us that enjoyed the treat -- thank you! We will be back!
Korean / japanese style bakery, close Monday
Good food. Pleasant and quick service. Parking is a problem during the day.
Nice bakery
All I can say is mmm, mmm good
Had the Earl Grey cake, it was awesome!
Oh my god Its the best cake I've ever had in canada
(Translated) It's the best taste I've ever had in Calgary. (Original) 아직까지 캘거리에서 먹어보지못한 환상적인 최고의 맛이예요
We just discovered this bakery today. Bought few things for quick snack to eat in the car. My family asked me to go back two more times on the spot to try out cakes and other things. Price is great for quality and service .Would be coming back for more .
Price is great and the macaroons are amazing. I can never leave from here without buying their macaroons! Friendly staff all the time and they have a lot of delicious things.
Good pastries but go get them when the shop open otherwise the store is "empty" in the late afternoon.
Fresh cream, delicate cake. Easy to preorder by facebook. So glad this bakery is in Calgary!
My family ALWAYS orders their chiffon cakes and I always look forward to birthdays because that means we can Wow bakery cakes ???? It’s my 82 year old grandmas birthday this week and she loves the green tea chiffon cake!
Amazing baked goods and cakes! Cream icing on cakes is very light and not overly sweet.
Ordered a whole cake for a bday. Didn’t taste so fresh and too expensive
Love this place..I would give 4.5 stars
Bought 3 cakes on Dec 29. One of Green Tea Chiffon tastes kind of to make several days ago, so disappoint .
I visited Wow bakery around 4pm on a Thursday afternoon. I have hear good things from people about this bakery. I went in, not much bread or pastry left. Almost every tray was empty. I ended up picking a chocolate cake, I wanted to surprise my wife with it. It was $7, which isn't out of this world but still a little pricy for a small slice. Got home, made some coffee, tried this cake. I can only say WOW, it was bad... dry, no sweetness, not much filling and yes... dry. I've been to Korea 2 times and I know how great their pastries/ bakery can be. But this was WOW... BAD!
Expensive and not a lot of selection
I ordered the cake online for my sister’s birthday. It was the most awful cake I’ve ever tasted. Super dry, stale and tasteless. Nothing close to a fresh cake, they sold us an old cake!!!
Delicious! It was my first time here and I'm definitely coming back. I've never really tried Korean/Japanese baking but WOW is it good! The prices are fair(I paid about $13 for 4 medium-sized items) and more than fair when you include the taste. I would definitely recommend!
Let me be honest with you guys. The quality is okay not bad Their customer service is really slow and their baked goods are really overpriced. I have been to many Korean bakery stores across Canada. For example, Toronto (ex. Galleria) has multiple Korean bakery stores, their red bean donut is between $1.50-$1.99. Here at WOW, they sell is for $2.99 THIS IS WAY OVERPRICED. Other items are at least $1.50 more expensive than other Korean bakery stores across Canada. I felt like they opened this bakery because they have passion in money. I feel really shame to share this store to my colleagues & friends because I dont think this is Korean bakery.. it is something else something terrible. I won't go there ever again. If you want some Asian baked goods, just go to Chinese bakery on the Centre street/ T&T. Their price is fair and the quality is even better than WOW.
I really love them for their cakes! It's always the perfect amount of sweetness. During COVID I ordered a cake to be delivered to my friend for her bday. I didn't realize I sent the wrong address. I'm glad WOWBakery took a picture of the house and sent me a text to notify me it had been delivered. I panicked and texted back immediately after realizing it was the wrong house and the delivery guy went back to grab the cake. And delivered to my friends house, which was across the street. They were accommodating and nice about the whole situation. Thank you Wowbakery! You guys are so nice. Will continue to purchase cakes!
I've only chosen sunterra cake so far in Calgary. This is comparable and somehow better. I understand some people say a bit over priced. But you need to see the difference of quality, difference of taste.
Bread topped with sausage, corn, ketchup and etc was extremely cold to bite and sausage and bread was very dry. I visited this place around 12 and they were placing freshly baked bread but some of my purchases wasn’t fresh at all.
Like it
(Translated) Their cake is very suitable for people who do not like too sweet! Fresh and delicious! Most varieties are delicious (Original) 他們家的蛋糕非常適合不喜太甜腻的人群!清新可口!大多品種都很好吃
I bought the half price bread in here and turns out it was not half price even with the blue dot on it. When I came home, the bread was soft. It is not fresh made today or the day before. I'm confused and will not come back again. The attitude of that new lady was really bad. I came here lots of time and I recommend lots of my friend to come here. :(
Bakery that specializes and offers a wide selection of Japanese/ Korean style baked goods. Almost all the asian flavored breads are tasty although definitely more on the older generation side of things. Matcha cream bun and red bean custard goods are all tasty.
Edit: came back and it looks like they brought back their quality. It is still a little bit more sweet, but definitely got better. Previously, one star but now 4. Been regular here ever since they started... after my last 2 visits, I dont think I will be coming back for a long time. Mocha Bun has changed to very dry, and roll cake has also changed very dry and tasteless the last two times I have ordered. They have definitely changed as all other bread types also lost the taste which made them unique. Very disappointed.
(Translated) The cashier who was just putting on scotch tape at 2 o'clock on Sunday today seems to need more customer service training. But the other short, skinny employee explained well and was kind. The cashier in front of the counter doesn't even expect a smile from the customer, but the way he talks and basic customer service is 0 points. I went to buy bread and came here because I was in a bad mood. If you're a shop owner, think seriously. (Original) 오늘 일요일 2시에 있던 스카치테입만 붙이고 있던 캐셔는 customers service 교육이 더 필요한것 같네요.하지만 다른 키가 작고 마른 직원은 설명도 잘해줬고 상냥했어요. 카운터 앞에 있던 캐셔는 손님에게 미소는 기대하지도 않지만 말투과 기본적인 손님 응대는 0점이예요. 빵사러갔다가 기분만 나빠서 왔네요. 가게주인이시면 심각하게 생각해보세요.
Bakery with there own asian twist. Bummer not open until 10am. Need more bakeries like this with there own style.
Best cakes ever hands down!! Love how it's not overly sweet. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. All the cakes I tried were very beautiful and tasted great! Would definitely recommend this place :)
WOW Bakery created a three-tier strawberry cream cake for our wedding and it was excellent! The cake wasn't too sweet and it was really beautiful. It was also really reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this bakery!
Fancy bakery. I like the concept and they have like clean open kitchen. I think it is little bit over price comparing than other bakery but it was good experience to try something difference cake.
Wow
Super Friendly service and high-quality deserts they make a wide variety and its all done so well. Portions are good and store front is clean.
Fresh baked products. Excellent customer service.
Chinook mall wow bakery is really don't know how to treat the customers. They're rude and impolite. Owner should be train their employees.
(Translated) I was disappointed because the coffee was too fresh. The bread is too sweet and the cake bread is old and dry, so it doesn't taste good. (Original) 커피가 너무 맹물이라 실망했어요 빵은 너무달고 케잌빵은 오래돼서 건조해서 맛이 없어요 지인에게 선물로 줬는데 다시는 사지 말라네요
We ordered the strawberry cake. It was very stale/dry. The best part of the cake was the strawberries. We will not be returning to this bakery.
Located inside Chinook Mall across from the food court this little bakery has many delicious treats. I go every time I’m at Chinook Mall and try something new :).
Delicious Asian bakery
The cakes and cheese and jalapeno bun were really good
Everything is amazing! Try the potato bun and the microns.
Awesome baked goods! would come again.
Truly enjoyed their cheese bun and matcha mochi cream bun. I’m glad I was able to try their baking during my visit.
Amazing bakery! Great choices and freshly baked. I had the sweet potatoe cake and matcha cream bun. Highly recommend this place
Must try! So many options you could buy the whole store. My favorite was the Earl Grey chiffon cake. I didn't try many items so I will definitely be back for more!
Was ok
Amazing variety of baked goods!
Simply delicious high quality bread and cakes!
It is a bit pricy but they have the best cakes and pastries in Calgary. But sometimes I feel like they leave some pastries over few days cuz it's not as soft as it should be and I was disappointed few times.
I just love this place the bread there is delicious and the cakes so hard to decide for only one
The cake was delicate and quite delicious. The bakery items are of high quality, pricing is a little on the high side. Better value on the speciality bakery items can be had elsewhere. - 1* star for not accepting Amex, quite an inconvenience and just bad business.
When it first opened it was a great bakery...now they limited their selection. Their middle counter used to be full from top to bottom, now you're lucky if the middle counter has any baked goods in it. Plus they got rid of some favours like melon bread, and revised certain items like the sausage bread that now make them unappealing to certain people. Unfortunately now it feels like they're riding on their award instead of putting time into making products. If you want savory go to China town or T & T. But if you're looking for a great croissant then that's the place to go
Recently ordered a cake from the Bakery and it was so beautifully decorated! My kids loved it and we also really enjoyed the service. They were extremely helpful.
My top bakery and go to place. Everything they have is soo good. Their blueberry cream cheese mochi bun is one of my faves! They also have some of the best cakes. Such unique flavors and they taste so yummy!
Ordered some pastries to enjoy and they certainly made quarantine much more bearable! I highly recommend :)
Always good ????????
You will definitely say "WOW!" to their cakes, buns and their customer service. This is our go to place. Our fave is the green tea chiffon cake, also try their red velvet cake it's so good!
Great customer service and amazing pastries!!! I can say those are the best I have tried in Calgary
The setting inside is just like a French Bakery and the food is the perfect fusion between Asian and french. I haven't tried anything that wasn't good yet!
The chiffon cakes are so airy and fluffy. Not too sweet which is what I prefer. I can eat the whole cake to myself.
Got a cake for my brother's birthday dinner. They made a nice "happy birthday" placard out of chocolate for the top and even gave us candles. The dinner was the next day, and even though the cake sat in the fridge over night, it was amazing. It looked amazing as well. Everyone was impressed, and my family generally doesn't like cake. 6 stars.
Finally I found a Asian style bakery in calgary, Love the tiramisu cake sooooo much Exactly the same taste that I had back home Thx u for the excellent cake. Highly recommend
Bought a cake and love it! I used to bought cakes from Yamato cause it is quite famous and a friend recommended this Korean place and turns out it is pretty great!
Delicious
Amazing little bakery, and everything is so cheap! Came here for breakfast and most of the things were $2. Amazing. Friendly service too. I only wish I lived here on Calgary so I could come more often.
The best tasting dessert ever!!! We had the tiramisu and my all time favourite Black Forest cake! ????????
Thrilled to have found a bakery that offers delicious pastries at an affordable price. The staff are always lovely, often giving me a pastry to try for free. Their croissants are magnificent - buttery with millions of layers. My personal favorite is the almond croissant. I can't recommend this place enough!
The person at the till wasn't really nice, went there a few times around 4-5pm and there's nothing left, got a cake here once, it was tasteless
Definitely worth to go to nearby Chinook Centre!
Delicious cake!! My 6 year old never eats cake and he finished off the slice of red velvet and strawberry shortcake that we got. Every peice we tried tasted great! Not overly sweet, very light and yummy. We look forward to ordering from them again.
Won’t recommend the red velvet cheesecake. It’s not as good as expected.
when you order a cake and found out they spelled the name wrong…… thanks for ruining the birthday
Elegant and Delicious baked goods. Outstanding quality! I highly recommend Wow Bakery in Marda Loop!
First time there. Apparently they don't know what is "service". Didn't say hi when we walk in. Bad and impolite attitude. Impatient when we ask questions. Don't know what they were thinking. The bake goods are so so, just average. Don't worth my time to go there. Not going back again. And will let all my friend and clients know it is Not worth it.
Belgian chocolate cake to die for! Thank you wow bakery
WOWWWW LOVE IT
I came here on a Sunday afternoon and the selection was quite limited. I did try a slice of their swiss roll and while the cake was moist, the cream to cake ratio is not very good. There's only a very thin layer of cream. I also tried their oatmeal cookie, which has more of a crumbly cake texture rather than a chewy cookie texture.
Scrumptious pastries! I enjoy the creamy feeling on my tongue whenever I take a bite out of the custard bread. Delectable! :P
This place has amazing pastries. WOW is right.
Called in the other day to inquire about a cake, was there to pick it up just in time before they closed but they wouldn’t let me in or sell it to me (got there 5 mins before closing and called to let them know I was racing there 10 minutes prior)
I managed to get into the store without waiting in line. The shop is small, but the baked goods are so well presented and tasty! This time, I bought the cranberry cookies. Very yummy.
Very kind and friendly staff .The products They sell are very yummy .
good but little expensive
Wow, we were wowed! Thank you - Delicious! The store looks so pretty; each pastry and bread looks like a delicate gift! Loved the presentation so we bought this and that and the other... went home and we were NOT disappointed! Each one …
Quite expensive but I still find my self coming back wanting to try more.
Best bakery in town
Highly recommanded!! Bread and cookies here are very delicious, especially I love this cake the most!!!
I seriously love this place so much and it is THE BEST bakery in Calgary. I don't like sweets but their pastry is not too sweet like ones you get from other stores. I wish they open up another store near my place...!!
Delicious, I highly recommend checking this place out.
Nice korean bakery
Don't have anything against their pastries, it's great for a snack or to bring home for the family. Never had any problems with service before but there's a short haired korean lady who was glaring at me like I personally did something to offend her the moment I got there. Ignored it and went about my way, thinking I was just full of myself but I came up to till and she was quite literally almost sneering at me for what?? If she doesn't like her job or being around people might I suggest she switch careers?
Everything is so good!.
A little pricey but worth it. Friendly staff and great stuff. My favourite is Mocha chiffon cake.
I'm happy to find this bakery because it's hard to buy these kinds of bread at local super market or bakery shop. These are very similar type of bread we can buy in Japan.
always great quality of pastries and cakes. i ordered cake a week ago and it arrived with a text message that they are near. Didn't have any cash on me for tips but I would definitely do it again and get cash ready for the driver! thank you so much!
I have been a regular for years, and today I was very disappointed with qualify of their strawberry cake. They raised the price by 2 dollars and reduced the amount of strawberries inside of the cake. I understand they need to keep up with inflation but compromising the quality of the cake, not fine by me. I guess I will need to find another bakery. Sad
Delicious cakes
I have been to a lot of bakery in Calgary and WOW bakery is one of the best one for quality and taste. When I am around chinook mall, I always go there to get breakfast for the other day and a quick bite.
It was my first time ordering a cake from this bakery and would definitely order again! I ordered the green tea chiffon cake and my family devoured it! The flavour was delicious, the texture was nice and light, and the icing was so fluffy! I ordered the cake via Facebook message and they responded promptly so the customer service is excellent.
Excellent cake !
Fresh & delicious!
Their cinnamon sugar twists are crack.
Got a savory pastry. The taste was quite bad. Didn't taste fresh. Sogy pastry and a long lasting unpleasant after taste of margarine. It's mostly self service for pastry and it was very uncomfortable process.
used to love this place. But they no longer sell the full black forest cake, only by the slice.
Went here on a Saturday afternoon for the first time. Nice, beautiful and clean set up. All the items looked amazing. There were samples set out at the front and we ended up buying the red bean custard bread we tasted. The prices are decent and fall in line with other specialty bakeries. This isn't a Safeway bakery so don't whine the prices cost a bit more. The quality of the items we bought were great. I'll be back again next weekend.
High quality baked goods at a moderate price. Small hole in the wall bakery that has a variety of sweets.
Great cakes and pastries at a decent price. Staff are friendly and have helpful suggestions.
Nothing negative to say. All the baked goods taste fantastic and the service is extremely friendly. Highly recommend the Blueberry Mochi Bun.
If you are going to have rules in your store make sure you enforce it on every customer! Disappointed.
Best tiramisu! They make good banana tarts, but seems too popular. They sell out fast!
Great service.
I always stop here when I am in the area, I wish they had a location closer to my home. I'd be there every day :-)
My go to ????????
Good
The absolute best croissants. I tell everyone I know about wow bakery!
The items were overpriced for the lack of quality. One of the croissants were partially burnt on the bottom and the texture was more like bread. The red bean cream bun had 50% whipped cream and a quarter of red bean paste and bun, I had to scrape off most of the thick cream, but after eating this it didn't sit well in my stomach. The chiffon earl gray cake slice was also more cream than cake.
