Reviews of Yamato Bakery (Bakery)

This place is a very small and unique bakery. I the cakes are great and not too sweet, as well as the prices are really great for the amount you receive. I had every type of cheese cake they had to offer and all of them were different with a unique flavor pallet.

Yudha Syarifudin

Cheese cake is not so great.

Lawrence Liu

I would always recommend a friend or a family member to order cakes here! Always amaze by the work and quality they put into these cakes, and it is a joy to eat each and everytime!

Patrick Bateman

That Japanese Cheesecake is unreal

Sarah W

The women who helped me was super friendly and helpful!! Thanks again and I love the fact that you create everything from scratch.

Levente Kovacs

Delicious cakes here, not too sweet and light. The service was very nice and friendly, everybody enjoy the cake, it was a hit. Just keep in mind that it's more of an asian style cake and not as rich and thick as New York cheese cake for example. Very delicious though, highly recommended

Lynne Lien

Always friendly and efficient. The cakes are delicious and beautifully decorated. They’re attentive to detail and always make sure you’re happy with your purchase.

Delicious cakes but they freeze their cakes before pick up. Photo: Totoro Mango Cheesecake

I have been patronizing this wonderful little community bakery for about 15 years and I have always been amazed with the quality and attention to detail with any item they make. Worth it to try even if you don't purchase a full size cake, they have personal sized single serving options too. Best dessert place in Calgary.

Kelvin Leung

If you're a fan of durian their durian cake (you need to call in to order this) and durian mousse (you can get this as a single piece but sells out quick) is so tasty. If you don't like durian the green tea and mango mousse are good alternatives. The cakes don't have that super sweet types found in grocery stores or western cakes.

Cate D

This place is so cute! I love their mousse cakes and Japanese cheesecakes. The matcha and plain cheese are my favourites. The owners are such lovely people. It's definitely worth a try!

Oscar Kwok

Their moisse cakes are always tasty. You can get them in a variety of flavours. I think one thing they can work on is the look of the cakes as I feel it can be prettier.

Marie Nguyen

There are so many different cake flavours! They all taste amazing.

Lien H

Have been ordering quite a few cakes from here lately. Some flavours are definitely better than others. Faves include double chocolate mousse and hazelnut mousse. Order a day ahead for the next day pickup with phone number. Support local!!

Jade Tsai

Very tasty cake, very nice service

Anh Tran

Good bakery with lots of asian cake options. They also have cookies and baked goods ready made.

Alan Lau

One of the best bakery for Hong Kong style cake

Yolanda Chan

Bigger size for grandma’s birthday in the past. This cake was so delicious and make a good presentation for desserts. Two thumbs up!

April Olivia

All my friends love Duran cake even cheese and a special birthday cake here. Not too sweet and affordable prices.

BUYER BEWARE, RUDE STAFF. I have been a Yamato customer since 15 years ago when we moved to Calgary. This review has nothing to do with the quality of the cake (which is excellent, especially the fresh sliced mango cake), rather their extremely RUDE customer service. No quality of pastries can justify a long-time LOYAL customer being called and lectured by staff. A female staff, whom I gather might be the owner has done this on THREE separate occasions within a 2 week span. This third occurence is so unacceptable that I am leaving a negative review, as I already gave them a free pass last week for Mother's Day, yet it happened again this week for my Father's Birthday. Here's what happened: For Mother's Day: I called ahead on the Wednesday prior, and asked for a cake to be ready by Friday afternoon. Even though Mother's day is on Sunday, I asked for the cake to be ready for Friday as my family is dealing with serious health issues amidst a global pandemic. As most businesses would realize this common sense, the order is simply to have items ready by a certain time, but it is the CUSTOMER's purogative to pick up afterwards. The business also has the right to say no if it's inconvenient. In any case, I received a TEXT message (which isn't professional) on Friday at 5:58pm that says (copy/pasted) "Are you cancelur order? If you don't answer me we just Cancel your order ????". They also called me maybe 15 minutes before. I was simply not by my phone to answer. Then we made arrangements on the phone (while the staff member was quite rude and pointing the finger at me as if I did something wrong), to have pick up ready for SUNDAY at 3pm, so I arrive at the bakery at 3:45pm Sunday, and the same rude lady told me "We said your order would be ready at 4pm, not 3pm, so you'll have to come back". I told her that wasn't true, but I waited, as I was in a rush, and don't want to head to mother's day dinner without the special cake. The staff member once again begrudingly made me, a loyal customer feel as though I was doing her an inconvenience (2nd strike), never once acknowleding their fault. For Dad's birthday (3rd strike): Again, I called on the Wednesday prior to place an order. I spoke to the same lady, and I explained that I don't know my exact plans for the weekend, and if we may need the cake by Saturday morning or evening. So, we agreed to have the cake ready for Saturday morning at 11am. Once again, 11am is the earliest it'd be READY so I wasn't at the store right at that time, and my family decided to have the celebration at night so I planned to pick up the cake at ~3/4pm. At 2pm, I got a call from the same lady (and I missed the call as I wasn't by my phone), then I called her back within a half hour, once again, I was LECTURED and YELLED at by a business with whom I am a long-time customer. She told me that they specifically asked their pastry chef to come in the morning to have my cake ready for 11am. Now the thing is, I NEVER asked for the pastry chef to come in early - this is their independent business decision. As per our last conversation she said she'd have the insides of the cake done during business hours on Friday, then add the finishing touches with the fresh sliced mangos on Saturday morning. I felt that was an acceptable solution as it has the flexibility I needed. So, I told her that's how they decided to run their business but has nothing to do with me. She then had the audacity to tell me "THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST TIME DOING THIS" blah blah blah, and rightfully so, I was angry and hung up on her. In a way one could argue it was my fault for returning, as in my mind I was thinking "I'll give Yamato one more chance, and it's dad's birthday I want him to have a really special cake", but they've crossed the line here, so much so that I'm taking the time to write a review. I typically don't do this even when I receive poor service because I want to support our local businesses, seeing as I too, am a small business owner. However this behaviour simply is UNACCEPTABLE and I will not stand for it.

This place is awesome. Love their cheesecake.... make my way from aleppo and then go to Yamato for dessert. Or after my dentist appt ???? (he is not so happy with me). Also love how they give my kids free cookies.. my kids love it too!

nancy shum

Vary selections of cakes I can try from Yamato, I love all kinds of cakes they made, my friends and families they all love to order cakes from here, try it and you will never disappointed.

Dimitri Phalen

High quality cakes, not overly sweet ( in a good way)

RW

Cute little local store. Amazing mousse cakes!

Laura T

The cakes and pastries are delicious, and the customer service was fantastic!

George Fournier

Awesome Japanese bakery, love their durian cakes

Monika P

Great hole in the wall bakery. The owner gave us a sample of their mango cake which was amazing and we left with custard tarts and some other cakes that barely made the drive home!

Felicia Ng

Charming mom and pop place with the best Japanese cheese cake I've had in town.

Suresh Varanasi

Got few cheesecakes.. they were just okay.

Anne Hoang

The best place for birthday cake. I ordered this place since they haven't got the shop yet. Way better than T&T or Wow bakery. Highly recommend the durian cake.

Reeve Galbraith

I was here to purchase a Japanese cheesecake for my 18th birthday, and I am incredibly satisfied. For starters, the cake tasted amazing. I asked my friend who visited Japan if it tasted like the real deal, she said it tasted exactly like what she had in Japan. The cake was decorated with beautifully cut fruit. It had a mango slice, strawberry flowers, blueberries, pomegranate seeds and other fruits with a little piece of chocolate saying "happy 18th birthday Reeve." It was perfect, better than anything I could've asked for honestly. There was a wide variety of other Japanese-style goods, such as Hello Kitty cookies styled like Dango ????, so there were plain cookies, some with red food coloring and some with matcha. There were butterfly cookies, sesame seed rolls, an insane looking mango cake that I wanted to eat, and a bunch of cake slices to choose from for every kind of person. The lady who was working there was extremely nice and gave excellent service. She took out a piece of their Japanese cheesecake and told us about how it's made, and that in comparison to other asian bakeries, theirs is the most genuine. Considering my friend told me it tasted exactly like the cheesecake she had in Japan, that seemed to check out. Although she was relatively hard to understand, at least to me, because of her very thick accent, she described things very well and used her hands and gestures to make it all easier to understand. I'm very bad at understanding heavy accents so, naturally, I had a hard time. My mom had no problem though. In conclusion, everything was amazing. Perfect. Everything I could've asked for.

My sister bought a cake yesterday for my birthday and it teased amazing 100/10

Esther Ngai

Super yummy and the boss are very nice!!! I was so excited that they have durian cake for sale, love it!!!! Will be back again for sure:9

Michael Tong

Great, I loved the cake

Candice Cornell

What a wonderful cake we received from Yamoto Bakery. The presentation was beautiful and the cake was light, smooth and delicious. It was a big hit and did not last long. Top quality. I highly recommend this bakery.

Christina

Best bakery, order a wedding cakes from them.

Albert Lee

A local shop that makes very delicious cakes and desserts, among the best in Calgary. We always buy birthday cakes there. Very reasonable prices. Staffs are super friendly. Highly recommended.

Tuan Nguyen

Awesome cakes!

Daniel Lam

Been ordering from Yamato for years and their cakes have been nothing but delicious, light, and consistent.

Michael B.

Extremely rude, despite being a long-term loyal customer. We ordered AHEAD of time yet both times within a 2 week span, the business called and yelled/lectured us for not being at the store for pick-up at an exact time. We do not pay premium prices for a service to get such attitude from a business instead. The cakes are delicious, but horrendous customer service. Nearly ruined 2 important family occasions. No thank you.

Dane Blackwell

Best light cakes in the city

Chloe Chan

Friendly customer service and good quality cakes! Way better than TNT, I wouldn't even bother to compare them. Yamato's cakes are light, fluffy, fresh and not overly sweet. I ordered a tiramisu cake and it was so good, give it a try! I ordered last minute and they were able to make it for me very quickly, they didn't rush me to pick it up or anything.

Maichael Wasryng

Absolutely delicious!!

Jonathan Wan

this place is the best bakery in calgary! if you are looking for a Japanese cheesecake you have to have it here!

Lisa Nguyen

Great selection of cakes! Their raspberry lychee cheese cake is a personal favourite.

Bikr4Life

I have tried the cheese cake twice from this bakery and have been happy with my orders. This place is a must try if you love cheese cakes.

Kelly Ngo

Great quality bakery and at reasonable prices. The Portuguese egg tarts are the BEST - highly recommend. The crust is very flaky, and the custard is sweet and creamy. They also have a great selection of cookies and cakes - try the walnut cookies and butterfly cookies.

A.D. Slater

Sweets for the Not do Sweet tooth ☺️

Moselle K

Delicious cakes that are so different from other bakeries. The employees are very attentive and helpful, she provided me with a carrying bag and candle! You can order through skip the dishes and specify when you need it ready. I asked for a special note and they decorated it beautifully. I'm very happy with my purchase. Below is the 12lb mango mouse, it has a Graham cracker crust on the bottom, fruit garnishes and chocolate whip cream.

Hannah Huang

Love their cheese cakes and cookies!

Brandon Nghi

The service is amazing. They will try to hardest to accommodate you and the mango cake I had was delicious and looked amazing.

Lyndia P

Nice shop, friendly staff. Tried the green tea cheese cake and black sesame mousse cake. Both were light and creamy not too sweet and have good flavour. Great with a hot green tea! Looking forward to tasting the coconut buns later too!

Tommy

really poor service, the guy who was helping me was impatient and rude. He had accidently charged us the wrong price for our desserts and yelled at us for confusing him.. He raised his voice at my mom and was extremely hostile. Desserts itself isnt fresh and they sit in the fridge..

Alana D Slater

So many to choose from .. Just grab 1 of Each and Run... ????????

Alan C

Tasty :3

Mecha Bekah

I love this place! I fell in love with their crispy delicate almond cookies and their chiffon cake was really delicious!!

Aneesha Lane

EXTREMELY RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY CALL YOU AND YELL AT YOU! It was my niece's birthday and I ordered a cake from you guys days ago. If you can't make the order, then why do you still take orders? Do you understand how precious a kid's birthday is? You guys used to have a good cake but the quality has gone down over the years. The cake is no longer freshly made on the same day. I can taste the fridge when I'm eating it. You guy don't want the business? good! we will take it somewhere else. WE WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN! We will go to T&T, they got better cake at a better price and they don't yell at you. We have been loyal customers of this place for years. You guys should be ashamed of yourself.

KC

Very average bakery. The cake slices are definitely not made fresh on a daily bases. The slice I got was slightly stale and the edges were curling upwards. Average slice was around $3.5 to $4.5. You can get something fresh at that price range.

Dan Nguyen

Delicious tiramisu! light, decadent, and creamy. I would have eaten the whole thing had i not been with other people.

Murray C

Ordered the durian cheesecake. There wasn't much durian flavor. The cheesecake seemed more like a mousse texture. …

Ho Jessie

We have been getting cakes here for family member birthday events for the past couple of years, and every one has been AMAZING! --- Tiramisu+Black Forest+Fruit Cake+Mango Cake+Green tea Cake+Japanese cheese cake.Those cake itself has had rave reviews from our family member as being some of the best tasting cake they've had, and the designs they create are just amazing! We often sent to picture and they re-create them out of icing to an impressive likeness! Everyone is always amazed and feels extra special when they see themselves in icing on a cake! I highly recommend everything about Yamato Bakery ! best cake I had. Let taste to tell everyone.

Y. Rodriguez

Great mango cheesecake that is not too sweet. They also have a lot of other tasty baked goods.

Angela Nguyen

Cakes are delicious and definitely a hidden gem! Only issue is with customer service with the one gentlemen. I found him very rude over the phone however, the lady in the front is a very sweet lady! Highly recommenced their cakes!

Le Leon

Wow! very good Durian cheese cake

Emily Huang

(Translated) Very delicious cake! There are many choices for various flavors, the style is very attractive ????????, the fruit is also very fresh, real material! ???? (Original) Very delicious cake! 各种口味选择很多，款式很诱人????????，水果也很新鲜，真材实料！????

Romson Dela Cruz

Great service here! I've had several cakes and they're all great! Latest one was a Dogecoin custom design! We all totally loved it!

Alex C

I was really excited to try the cheesecake but it’s only OK. Maybe our expectations were too high, but we had two different slices, and both were disappointing.

Patrick Leung

Love their dessert. Great variety. Their mousse cake just melts in your mouth. Very smooth and tasty.

Lisa Ma

Amazing bakery and they are so nice and friendly! They were able to accommodate a last minute birthday cake. The cake was so moist, soft, and not sweet at all. It was tasty and everyone loved it! We ordered the fresh fruit cake with taro. We will be coming back.

Fatima Souraya

Takes only cash or debt,good prices.

John T

Very friendly owners. Will make you leave happy no matter what.

Aymane Bennazzi

This place is amazing. Some of the best cheesecake we've had. They have a lot of different flavours that are original and delicious. You can drop by and pick from their ready single-serving displays, or you can call and place an order for a full cheesecake/mousse. Definitely coming back for more!

Jason Yue

Really good stuff, family run business. Don't cheap out on the materials to make the cakes.

Mao Mao

The best bakery in Calgary. Their cakes are super delicious ????????. Not too sweet but so soft. That's the reason why I love their cakes. ???????? I recommended it to my buddy for his wedding cake. On his wedding day, people at the wedding party all loved it.

L Fong

We ordered the fresh mango cake, very very nice????????. I'd go there again!

Cathryn Weaver

Delicious cheese cake!! The gentleman running the store today was super sweet and helpful. We will def be back!

Thibault Dambrine

Excellent mango & sponge cake. This cake is seasonal, rather unique, the ingredients (mango especially) are obviously fresh, the craftsmanship and attention to detail stand out.

rd huang

Over price cake, not as fresh and tasty as it used to be.

Lulu Kwan

Not like a good bakery and not much cake to choose from. The taste of the cake is not that speacial ,also the cake is too small for the price they r selling

April Wu

Based on the more than 150 positive reviews, I chose to buy my birthday cake here. I ordered mango cake. OMG! The mango cake was just right and it was one of best mango cake I ever had. Highly recommend!

Esther Y

They have seriously the best cakes ever! I LOVE Japanese Cheesecake and they make the best! If you are nearby, make sure to pop in because you can purchase it by the slice. They have a lot of different flavors! My two favorites are the Japanese Cheesecake and the White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake! ♥

Zetetic Bear

The Japanese cheesecake was 10/10. The egg tart was 10/10. Usually I can not find good Japanese cheese cake, but WOW this bakery can make it taste the best. Also the lady working was very very nice. I will come back again and again. Try this bakery you will be impressed.

Sanjit Manpreet

been going to this place for over 10 years. cute little bakery shop off of centre street. Asian desserts and flavours like mango mousse cheesecake, green tea cheesecake etc. Friendly staff. Quiet and quaint

Kristine Chan

Such great cakes! I love how light their cakes are. I have been going here for years, the mango mouse and cheesecake is amazing!

Kitty Cat

Best quality and value bakery in town! I love you guys!

alan ken

Excellent food and nice people. mango cheesecake is my favorite

Chi

I've been going to Yamato's for over 10+ years now. Wonderful local bakery!

Joshua Herdman

Some of the best desserts I've ever had, everything has that natural sweet taste without the hardcore sugar, even the pies are rich without all that heavy cream and sugar. The staff are patient and friendly, everything is well priced and there are some nice small warm tarts near the counter for a quick snack if you just want something fresh and small. Most definitely a must if you have a sweet tooth for fruits and cheesecake (more options then listed. :P).

Kayan Cheung

They are GOOD!!

YYCJ

Always a good cheesecakes!

Exor Nand

Amazing mango fruit cake- the owner take extra effort to decorate the cake for seniors. Love the taste and it is very yummy with fresh mango taste. Not too sweet at all and I love that how reasonable price they are. Amazing !????????????????????????

Jennifer

Really light cheesecakes in a nice variety of flavors. My Mother's Day cake wound up being from here (taro flavored)

Yao Lu

It was my first time ordering a cake from this bakery and would definitely order again!

Great selection of desserts. Staff are very friendly and even gave a free cookie to my daughter. Highly recommended

Tina Phan

Their cheesecake is delicious. Service is good and friendly. I will definitely return.

Pikku Chu

Yamato Bakery is an oriental style dessert bakery. They specialize in many types of cakes. Such as mouse cakes, cheese cake, napoleon cake, Moon cakes and more. The location can be difficult to spot and the parking is a little difficult. So if you are using a GPS please be mindful of your surroundings. It is best to park somewhere on the street and walk over. The inside of the bakery is aromatic. Customers can small freshly baked goods, making your mouth water. The presentation of the cake is marvelous. It is simple, yet elegant. The top of the mousse cake was lavished with fresh fruits and a macaroon. The cakes was delicious and not overly sweet. The mousse was soft and delicate. The crust of the cake was nice and crumbly. It held the cake together perfectly, but still fell apart in your mouth. The staff are very helpful. They ask you when the cake is being eaten and then guide you on when to take it out of the fridge. They are very mindful of allergies, so please call in ahead if you have any. The staff will do their best to accommodate any allergies. The price of the cakes can seem a little expensive. However, they are reasonably priced, considering that this is a specialty bakery. Yamato Bakery is a great place for dessert. They can provide cakes for special occasions or a regular dessert night. This is a great place to try if you are looking for an amazing cake. Every bite will leave you wanting more!

CALMECAC43

Everyone has to try any slice of cake at Yamato's. Best birthday cakes in town. Try raspberry lichi.

Mark McWilliam

Good Coffee

Anne Sakuma

My boyfriend bought a big green tea cheesecake for my birthday and it was sooo good! Reminds me of Japanese cakes even though the owner is Chinese from a real Japanese’s point of view. I really hate other cakes at other places because it’s too sweet for me but this cake got me. Definitely the best cake that I’ve ever had in Canada. Once you tried, you wouldn’t buy any other cakes.

Sam Lee

Not a japanese bakery it seems? Strongly recommend Japanese and American cheesecake!!!

Monica MacDougall

FAKE cheesecake!!! My husband got a "cheesecake" as he knows I love cheesecake! Well, they shouldn't be calling this cake a cheesecake, when it has nothing to do with one. It is a FAKE cheesecake, it's like a cheap creamy mouse cake with a layer of spongy cake in the middle, and of course it doesn't taste like cheesecake at all. It was also quite expensive, and it's going to waste!. Even Safeway sells better cheesecakes and for half the price. So if you want a traditional or REAL cheesecake, stay away from this Bakery, and don't believe the reviews saying their "cheesecake" is so good. This cake, whatever it is supposed to be, is not good either.

April Nguyen

Love the selection of cakes here, only problem is that they freeze the cake ?? Or maybe it's just really cold. Overall it's a lovely place to pick up cake.

Liwen Zhang

Ordered my first mango mousse cake for work from here, picked it up and it was very much frozen, the mousse part tastes good, right amount of sweetness but the cake part was so dry and very frozen, not the best experience, don’t understand why they need to freeze it when they know exactly when i’m coming to pick it up....

Jenna Torres

One of the best Tiramisu cakes I have ever had. Also really like their mango mousse cakes

Susan Poon

Very impressed with them and happy that we have such a good bakery in Calgary. They were able to take large orders on late notice and go above and beyond in decorating the cake we ordered. Thank you Yamato!

Diana Dang

Pre-ordered a Fresh Mango birthday cake. Was ready on time, staff was friendly and the cake was very good! The fresh mango was a very nice touch, sponge was light and fluffy, the filling of fresh mango was delicate and not overly sweet. Very good, light cake that you can eat without guilt! Will be ordering cakes from them again in the future!

Katherine L

Not gonna shop there. ????????????

D Jones

Great quality Asian style bakery with very friendly service.

pk jk

Called this place numerous times to order birthday cake during their business hour. I called them at 17:30, 17:37, 17:58, and 18:03, but no one picked up the phone!

Kerryliu

I have had there cakes for three birthdays now, it’s so good!

Ray Ha

Great tasting cakes.

Ed Jocson

Very tasty... delicious ????

gillian and charlene chung and choi

Saw the rating on here so I decided to try it out. BIG mistake, the cheesecakes were not fresh at all. No flavour at all, we ordered 5 different “flavours” and they all tasted the same, just different food colouring. If you know what a real bakery is, you wouldn’t waste money here with their frozen cheesecakes that seemed pre made the day before. I thought it was Japanese as well, but it’s a Chinese owner and the cheesecakes are NOT the Japanese cheesecakes, real Japanese ones are high quality and don’t taste like 2 day old Walmart bought cakes.

leo the seal

Fantastic

Matt Cornacchia

Ordered a Cheesecake. It was very delicious. A lot of quality and the staff was very helpful.

Yvonne Liang

(Translated) Amazing mango cake The sponge cake is very soft, the little sweetness just brings up the sweetness of the mango, which is great! (Original) Amazing mango cake 海绵蛋糕很软，点的少甜刚好带起了芒果的甜度，太棒了！

Justin Kozak

I was looking for Japanese steamed buns.. this was not the place I was looking for. Regardless, I picked up a slice of cheesecake and some custard cakes, and everything was really delicious. The cake is so light and fluffy while still having good flavour. I'm not really into cake and yet I still thought it was very good.

YS Luo

(Translated) Many types, delicious cakes and good service (Original) 种类多，蛋糕好吃，服务态度好????

Micaela Dawn

Very cute little bakery with yummy desserts. Some of the flavours felt a bit too subtle to really tell them apart, and the rum balls were mainly just chocolate but I still enjoyed what we had! They have excellent presentation and are very friendly. Cute place to stop if you want to bring home dessert since they don’t have very many places to sit.

W wong

Their Mango cakes always the best!!!! Yummy!

Alice

Nice oriental style bakery store.

minh Trant

The best cakes in town!

Tin C

Very dissapointed. We thought its a japanese bakery but it isnt. Quality is not really good, very cheap taste.

Robert Wylie

Delicious Japanese bakery, the owner is very sweet ????prices are very good ???? Highly recommend the sweet goodies.
