Reviews of Yum Bakery (Bakery)

Becky Krywyn

The ham and cheese croissant was the best I've ever had in my life! A little dense, moist piece off heaven! Highly recommend them!

JM Landscapes

We're always happy with our goodies from Yum! We've tried different breads, baked goods, cakes, pies, etc and have been very happy with all of them! It is very reasonably priced for noticeably high quality ingredients and taste. A great place to pick up a dessert if you want to impress everyone!

David Wills

Love the cakes and salty caramel tarts.

Tiffany Woodland

Yum bakery’s pies are ridiculously good, but I have to say that I’m quite disappointed by the cake I bought last weekend. It was a birthday cake, and it was super dry! Good flavor, but was clearly not fresh! For a cake that price I was expecting really good things. I’ll be sticking to their pies from now on.

I'm glad I don't live closer to this place. I'd be so fat.

Carol Cooper

Love this bakery - they aren't pretentious but they do some of the highest-quality baking I've found in Calgary. We particularly love their Princess cakes, carrot cake and chocolate hazelnut cakes, and their bread, pies and sweet and savoury danishes are also wonderful. i've never had a 'dud' from this store.

Almond croissants are just glorious

Needed a last minute cake for my mom's birthday and YUM backery had great cakes ready to go! I picked up a chocolate and caramel cake; it was delicious! A thick chocolate cake with hints of Carmel and it wasn't too sweet. Just perfect! Super friendly staff too.

We would buy cinnamon buns anytime from Yum....

Yves LaFlamme

They are on the expensive side, but I've tried most items here and they're really good. I only wish that they could provide ingredient lists or something of a nutrition chart. I'd still like to know how many calories my cheat item is!! :(

The cakes are always the best, lemon, carrot, all of them, I love their savoury croissants too

Dorothy Laskowski

I adore this place. Their only flaw is discontinuing products I fall in love with! I used to come regularly for the multi grain bread with cumin, but then it was discontinued. Then I got really into their cupcakes, but those have been discontinued too. I'm just praying the cheese foccacia stays as well as their delicious macarons!

Highly recommend Yum. Can't resist a visit when at the market. Princess Cake, Coconut raspberry, carrot, breads, buns, croissants, truly, I've never ordered and eaten anything from Yum that wasn't absolutely delicious. Ordered a birthday cake last minute and the owner personally dropped it of to my client in his way home. Busy spot, be patient. Always friendly service.

Disappointed...it's not "real" Challah, and the price was outrageous ($6.50) I gave 4 stars because the staff was friendly,

Sylvain Drapeau

Everything was good HUMMmmmm

Trevor Richmond

Always good stuff, the sour cherry pie is amazing. Staff are friendly and efficient.

Ron Griffith

Best sourdough bread in Calgary! And the garlic cheese buns are excellent too.

Ashley J

Love Deb and Dave. Amazing people, and amazing baked goodies. I had lunch from there today, and you can never go wrong no matter what you get. I always leave a happy girl.

Eros

i bought a lemon custard tart and buns with wild rice and green onions. loved it This is only my second time having their products and I have yet to be disappointed. Hard to find good quality baked goods at a decent price.

Jenna Stoffels

The macarons here are amazing. I have tried several different ones across the city and Yum has the best. Highly recommend salty caramel and raspberry hibiscus.

I ordered a cake with a chocolate sign and the DIY cookie decorating kit to be delivered for my partner’s birthday. The confirmation email said it would be delivered between 9 and 6, and I received a call at 8:58! Everything was beautiful and exactly as expected - even better than expected. I asked for corny little hearts next to the birthday message on the cake and they delivered, it’s perfect. The cookie kit is adorable, comes with little icing and sprinkle packs. Thank you so much for making this birthday special, Yum Bakery!

Amazing Almond Croissant Can't get enough. I am a big fan of Almond Croissants. I tried their croissants more than a month back and honestly I can't think of eating them from anywhere else. I will go back for more when I can. Their single serve cake was amazing too. Didn't get to take the pic, was gone before I could find my phone .

Christine Richard

We have coming to Yum Bakery for years. If you a pie fan (SOUR CHERRY) or fruit cake lover, this is the bakery for you. Try their cheese buns. Family run. Shop local

Anna Park

Best Macarons in Calgary!

Stephanie Mahallati

Some of the best and the most delicious pastries in Calgary. Great service and super friendly staff every time we go! Love everything there.

terry fishman Calgary

Amazing carrot cake!

Yuri Alcocer

Was looking for trifle but they aren’t doing it right now. Service ok, a bit messy with the lineup and one abusive client that uses two sellers instead waiting to be serve by one and then pay. Tried the carrot cake, was ok, a bit too sweet.

Jason Hofer

Yum Bakery has been absolutely amazing!! In 2019 they made our Wedding cake, our guests are still talking about it! Every month someone asks us where we got it. It was AMAZING!!! Then, this summer, they replicated the cake (smaller of course) for our one year anniversary. Again, knocked it out of the park! And just yesterday they did the cake for our Gender Reveal Party!! And it goes without saying, they Nailed it!! So delicious! Everything we have ever had from them has been made to perfection!! I really don't see any reason to go anywhere else to get a cake. When our Daughter turns 1, We will be back for yet another cake! And Probably one or two more in the meantime. Haha. Thank you for heightening our big family moments for the last 2 years with your amazing work!

CY Siu

Very well presented with a wide range of baked goods for purchase at reasonable pricing. The staff here are friendly and always on deck to help out.

Christine Maurette

Huge selection of great bread and baked goods. Friendly and happy service. Highly recommend the royal hazelnut chocolate cake! It's the BEST

Doug Meldrum

I am in love with Yum Bakery. My family and I have been getting their bread every time we are at the Calgary Farmers' Market for years. I just had their Finnish Rye Bread and Sourdough bread on the weekend and it was great. I have also always been impressed with their caring customer service despite being extremely busy.

Rocky Kwan

This bakery is definitely one of Calgary's gems for cakes. It is where I get all my cakes and desserts for special occasions. Their chocolate hazelnut royale cake is my favorite, definitely worth trying.

Daydreamer

Working across the street, I come here every week to get their delicious ham cheese croissant or almond croissants and they have a really nice weight to them like a newborn baby. Definitely none of that cutting corners tomfoolery here. Yum!

BB WD

Absolutely fantastic pumpkin tarts. A wonderful pumpkin flavour with spice and a gentle sweetness that perfectly satisfies. Homemade flavour! Also fabulous sourdough bread! You will not be disappointed.

Dorinda A.

Delicious baked goods!!!

Melinda Gross

We popped in here as the macarons caught my eye. The Farmers Market can be a bit of a pricey place, but when I saw $2 for these tasty treats it was game on. So many delicious flavours to choose from, it's a must stop. The staff was fantastic too, at least three different ones tried to assist us :)

Carly Z

The cakes are second to none and the breakfast was wonderful too.

Troy Bews

Went for Sourdough loaf, sold out. Recommended a denser Sourdough wheat mix loaf. Delicious. Thanks for the recommendation. We should have bought the large not the semi.

Joan A.C. Gilmore

The most delicious buns I've ever had in my life wild rice and green onion yum!

Adam Bath

A true testament of a business is how they handle and recover when things go wrong. We bought my birthday cake from YUM last week and ordered the six inch royal cake at a cost of $45 and special ordered my name to be printed on the cake. The wrong name of "Alex" was written on my cake. When my husband followed up they refunded $2.05 for their error. Lesson learned..don't ever buy any speciality order items from YUM, and, I will never ever again support this business. Very disappointing!!!!

KC

Along side with the bakery they also own a little stand across that does jarred goods. Macaroons are good but they were previously frozen and thawed. The jarred creme brûlée is not very strong in vanilla flavour. Staff are very nice

Adrianne Lovric

Yum! As described! Beautiful, delicious cake. Great price. Perfect service. Will definitely order again!

Marilyn Budden

Purchased a Saskatoon berry pie for Thanksgiving and we had it yesterday and it was the worst pie I have ever served... it had the berries still whole and hard, so pie like jam/sauce at all in the berries , it was so dry and totally tasteless...$18.99 I will not purchase pies there again! Bread & buns only! You need a new pie supplier for sure!

Jinra Binjoe

We ordered a birthday cake and it was very beautiful except the icing tasted terrible. Wouldn't return and don't recommend cakes from this place to anyone.

Bev Higgs

95% of the time the best Oatmeal Raisin and Ginger cookies around but yesterday not so good. Way too crunchy that they broke apart. The week before my beloved Challa buns tasted, well they didn't taste actually. Please don't get so busy that your products suffer because they are usually so good! 6 cookies crumpled ????

Kadie Drake

So I served debbie and Dave at lulubar and they told me about their awesome little hidden gem of 17th (which isn't hidden at all but I live with my head in the clouds haha!) And my goodness, the best bread in the city! The service is great and the soup was made with love. It was such a pleasure serving you and then to be served in return. Great customer service and quality of food. Support local folks!

L B

Yum bakery used to be the only place my husband I would go for bread but especially their strawberry/rhubarb pies. They have changed the pie recipe and now it’s nowhere near as good as it used to be. We’ve tried them over and over again and not one has been eaten up. The people here though are amazing and super friendly. We will continue to support them but not for pies.

Audrey Hobby

The pastries and baked goods I purchased were absolutely delicious and fairly well priced.

Jessica Oppenhuizen

Yum bakery did my wedding cake and it was a massive hit at the wedding. They made my vision come to life! After trying many popular wedding bakers in the city, YUM stood out! Not only was their cake the best, but the service was amazing. I highly recommend Yum bakery and Samantha to any couples out there looking for a great wedding cake!

Stephanie Oppenhuizen

Samantha made the cake for our wedding this past month. It was both beautiful and incredibly delicious, cannot recommend Yum Bakery enough!

Ijeoma Ndu

I ordered a custom cake based on the reviews here and was disappointed. The cake was soggy and the taste was awful so we threw it away.

Jared Scott

The carrot cake is the best!

Liz “Way2go” P

I have been purchasing scones from the bakery for years. A couple of years ago they changed the shape and size of their scones, but the price remained the same. Thankfully the great taste was still there. The last couple of times the scones have been flat ( in appearance) today my pancakes even have more volume! They resembled hockey pucks and the taste was doughy. Unfortunately I was heading out of town and this was to be my contribution.

Terry Johnson

I had an old crumbly tasteless excuse for a pastry. It was expensive and not very good. Staff was also quit rude when I complained about it. I would not recommend it.

Taylor Anderson

Stumbled upon this gem this weekend. Of course I had to go in. Staff was very friendly. Picked out a white chiffon cake with raspberry mouse and buttercream. Oh man, lets just say I will be back!!

Mike Maurice

The bread tasted flat and hard and was not at all what I expected. I've bought better tasting bread from the Sobey's at a fraction of this "Artisan" stuff

Lou Rosenfeld

Cannot understand Terry's bad experience. This bakery is excellent from breakfast, snack items to the best desserts. Great choice of breads, health cookies, may or may not be healthy from an ingredient perspective, I couldn't say I've never looked. They taste great and the smile they bring to my face is healthy. Go there, always. You won't ever be disappointed.

Don Yip

Really good Chabata bread . Other baked items good too.

Alireza Khd

Their almond croissant is the best in town. Not too sweet. Ample in size. Just perfect.

nun ya

I received overly expensive stale and old pastries, raw bread, and terrible customer service from literally everyone working front counter as the cherry on top. Don't waste your time or money going here.

Mary Straight

Was absolutely amazing, I just so happened to find yum bakery while on a small adventure by myself in downtown and it was the highlight of my day. I will be returning and showing mans telling my friends and family all about it!

Gloria

I purchased a Nanaimo bar yesterday, it was the worst Nanaimo bar I have ever had. It tasted very old, it was dry and flavourless.

Terry Zohn

Deb and staff are lovely, very accommodating. The food was terrific. The bakery has fabulous options for desserts, and delicious scones. Lots of gluten-free options as well. We will definitely be back!

Samantha Krewulak

Breads and macarons are exceptional!
