You have all the feddbacks of real people like you who know the products of Italian Bakery's Mercato (Bakery) in Saint Albert territory (Canada).
At the present this business has a rating of 4.6 over 5 and this score was based on 127 reviews.
As you can see it reaches an reviews average is nearly the best one, and it's founded on a very large number of reviews, so we can conclude that the evaluation is quite accurate. If people have bothered to give their review when they are pleased, is that it works.
As you know, we do not usually stop to set tatings when these are positive and we usually do it only if we've had a problem or issue...
This Bakery corresponds to the category of Fresh food market.
Yikes. Terrible physical distancing and several people wearing masks under noses or not at all. Signs on floors but no one following them and no staff enforcing or encouraging proper spacing. Only in deli sit down area were things looking good. Really takes away from wanting to purchase any items.
I love this place specially because of the coffee area. Good coffee and good sweets as well. The market also have good products same you can only find in special stores.
One of the finest stores in town! Very happy to be your customer. :)
Great place, great food, friendly staff.
Incredible food & pastries that remind me of the real deal. Definitely will be returning here anytime we want european treats!
I love the downtown Edmonton location much more! I think the prices are a bit much for some items at this location and wouldn't shop here again. If you want great service with a family feel take the trip to Edmonton and get your stuff there!
Wow. They're cakes are Mouth watering.
What a great place for St. Albert. They have kept the same theme and energy of their stores in Edmonton at this one. Lovely Little taste of Italy, great selection and good prices.
I love this French bakery! I really want to try their tiramisu cake, but never had a chance to buy a slice. LoL
Loved the donuts! ????
Pastry doesn't taste as before. Doughnut get hard very fast. But definitely great cheese and meat selection.
Loved the prices and selection. I would have given 5 stars, but the music was extremely loud to the point where my husband I hurried and got out as fast as possible. This was our first visit.
Service
I usually shop at the original Italian Market in Edmonton but I was in St. Albert so went to this store. The produce section is sad. So small in the back corner with not much to offer. Nothing like the IM on 95st. Which has a glorious produce section.
My Saturday morning happy place. The staff at the deli are incredibly knowledgeable and always provide exceptional recommendations. I come for that knowledgeable specifically
Soooo many pastries so little time. Sandwiches and coffee, a perfect brunch.
Fresh and gorgeous goods with authentic Italian influence.
Would give the place a better review but the staff and workers here are complete garbage and rude.
My go-to for desserts, all things Italian cooking and of course latte and espreso.
Great Selection, staff and their frozen entrees are tasty
We were here for a light brunch. Nice sandwiches and hot coffee, perfect. Friendly staff and a clean place. Great for quick meet ups.
This is a little gem in St. Albert. The market is a delight and very competitive.
My wife and I love this place! Being an Italian and having a heavy Italian culture, this place is as close as it gets! From the paninis to the desserts to the espresso and finally the groceries; it has a great Italian feel when you walk through the door. We live on the southeast side of Edmonton and we make sure we pay a visit once in a while to enjoy the great food, beverages and selection!
The more I go, the happier I am. Still not the same selection as the Italian Center, but lots of little hidden gems. LOVE LOVE they way they slice the meat and cheeses and wrap in butcher paper. Other local stores could learn a thing or two about it. The bakery has wonderful fresh breads that my family loves. My only issue is with how tightly packed everything is inside the store. I feel for the cashiers when it's really cold out. Overall, glad it's finally here.
Americano was perfect. Take a # at the cheese deli counter where there is a wonderful selection of meats cheese and olives.
Pastry always dry. Rude staff. Dirty tables every time we visit.
Very nice store as it just opened 2 weeks ago.Their pastry is fresh made everyday therefore the fresh taste stands up to a 5 star performer.
Popped in today to see what all the Sr.Albert folks were freaking out about and have realized they must be pretty isolated to think this place is anything but an overpriced Italian convenience store. I will continue to make the drive into Edmonton to patronize the Italian Centre as I have for decades. We decided to have lunch which was very disappointing. Foccacia sandwich with the same ingredients you get on the sandwiches made at the Italian Centre but it was all bread and one piece of each meat. After being on the press, it was barely warm and had no toasting to it. The mushroom soup tasted ok but in addition to being too thick, the mushrooms were chewy. And when I asked for pepper, they said they didn't have any. I said that was surprising for a restaurant not to have any and was corrected by the snotty barista (male, the girls behind the counter were friendly) that it's a cafeteria, not a restaurant...still, have some salt and pepper for those that like additional seasoning. Mediocre experience, food and service.
A little piece of Italy in St. Albert. Absolutely love it! Make sure you visit their fresh pasta station and take some home. Yum Yum!
Beautiful place, bakery section has a huge variety, but a bit on the pricey side.
Fantastic place for European imports in terms of selection and one of the better bakeries in the city especially the chocolate donuts!
Fresh pasta and sauces... Dont spend a lot under 12$ . Great deli and the bakery is amazing. Never ever disappointed
The focaccia panini was very nice. Only complaint is the sandwich is both hot and cold in the centre when pressed. Donuts are pretty good as well.
Nice place! All kinds of European food.
I absolutely LOVE coming in on Monday nights to get a cappuccino! Usually the same rotation of staff are work those nights. The young Barista, Jenna in the cafe is GREAT at making coffees!! and the young brunette man in the bakery was pleasant to interact with. Other days of the week are alright, but if you're thinking of stopping by for a latte and a snack, Monday nights are where it's at!! The owners should be incredibly proud of their staff, these guys are awesome! Giving 5 Stars for the service that never fails to be any short of helpful and pleasant. Thank you Mercato!
Excellent quality and taste on everything I've bought from here. Their frozen lasagna is delicious
Nice atmosphere friendly staff unbeatable pastries and baked goods deli selection great and high quality
Friendly staff and a pretty dam good cappuccino. My wife loved shopping here and can't wait to return next time we are in the area.
Excellent! Love the Master Barista! So welcoming and cogenial! First time there and already want to go back with friends. Two thumbs up!! ????????
The baking and deli make this place a must visit. Great place to go for dessert. The deli has a wide selection of meat, cheese, and olives. Go on Saturday for some samples. Grocery has a lot of hard to find spices, fresh pasta, and delicious frozen meals for the family. We will definitely go again.
The sandwiches at the cafe were a little underwhelming, very simple for the price... The groceries are also a tad on the pricey side but probably because they are mostly imported, nice variety. Enjoyed the donuts. Will probably go back to try more baked goods.
Love it here! Delicious food and coffee and great atmosphere!:)
Been there on when they first opened. Huge bakery, everything else is quite small. Not a huge bread area nor is the deli. Very small isle's. 3 cashier's. It should of been strictly a bakery. Hopefully the pastries are fresh here.
The bakery was amazing! So delicious and yummy!
Luv this place Great prices Great food and good service
Such a great place!! All of my favorites I haven't had since I was in Italy! Their Foccacia sandwiches are fantastic, and I highly suggest an Affogato (espresso and gelato to those who don't know)
Great selection of pastries, fresh sauces, pasta, deli meats and pantry items. Fresh produce as well. Small shop but still a decent selection.
Very bad ,rude and racist , especially the girls who works in bakery and sweet section,,I don't advice people to go there ,I am talking about morning shift,,No Respect!!Zero Star,,I was trying to put no star, unfortunately I have to put one to let my post go!!
Pretty small place, compared to an Italian Center shop. Their cafe seems nice, I ordered the cold brew coffee and it is very bitter. I had to add cream and sugar (but I have a bad sweet tooth). The fellow at the cafe bar was really nice and helpful. Cheers to him. The other staff were less than friendly, they all glared at me. I had to check in the mirror to see if I had something on my face or something. Not sure I'd go back since it is quite out of the way for me.
Very friendly staff. Big selection. The bakery alone is worth a visit. So much yummy things for your sweet tooth... I personally like the donuts there more than Tim's. Will visit again.
Great deli meat and cheeses ???? And their Gelato was good too
Great store super bakery
Very helpful deli department! The place is clean and smells like fresh baking which is awesome. The meat and cheese prices are very reasonable considering they are prime cuts and brands. Will be going back there soon
Such a cute place! Lots of selection, reasonable prices, great service, relaxed atmosphere, and the best donuts I have ever had.
We love this place for groceries, sandwiches, bread, coffee, deserts, and ice cream . The manager Adamo, is the best and always help us find what we need Thanks for the excellent st
Bought couple of coconuts today for my kids and when they put the straws try to sipp from it they told me it doesn't taste good. I opened them and they were rotten in the inside smells ready bad.
I went here today hoping to get a made to order sandwich like at the downtown location. I found out they do not do made to order sandwiches. The staff were pretty clueless.
First time there, beautiful store, fabulous Cafe, and the best latè I've had in a long time!
Great little store the bakery items are lovely.
This is an amazing Italian store to shop at, the variety of food is mind blowing! I should have planned to shop there a little earlier as the wait for the check-out was long, on the flip side you get to check out all the amazing items in the bakery and deli when you do. I highly recommend this shop!
So many great items to choose from...prices are fantastic too...love everything I've experienced here so far ????
Love this place, friendly and has all the specialty stuff and the baked goods are amazing.
Great desserts and staff are always helpful!
Was tasty as always.
Always find good quality ingredients or pre-made meals that are so delish!
I'm a little confused on all the 5 star ratings. Don't get me wrong, I love having Mercato around. But it's a place designed to make nice looking food that is average underneath. Their pies look great, but made with store bought pie filling. Their doughnuts look great, but not really any better than tim hortons. Sandwiches are decent prices, but nothing you'll crave later.
Excellent bakery. Good products throughout the store.
Really liked their focaccia sandwiches. Recommend the spicy ones.
Excellent shopping experience. Big bright well lit store. Huge selection of baked goods. Definitely worth the 5 stars.
Always Italian store my vevertt back in day down 95 st always meet lovely people ❤????
Best deli I have been to in town. The staff is very friendly and has always been able to answer any questions or make a recommendation when asked about anything in the store, from meats, cheese, sauces, etc. A lot of things here you won't find in your standard grocery store, and the quality and freshness is very good!
Always a great stop picking up lunch or dinner essentials. The ladies working in the deli counter were great; having a bit of fun and making the whole atmosphere more "family" like.
Nice place to grab a soup and sandwich or a great latte. I enjoyed my visit to the shop but was somewhat disappointed with the grocery side (but keep in mind that I often shop at the Italian Centre - which is known to be world-class). It is a welcome addition to the St. Albert food scene and I will return.
Fantastically decadent desserts and drinks. Great place to stop in, reasonably priced most of the time. Sandwiches are fairly basic.
Fantastic new Generation of you Italians operating a Market like this Bellisimo all the best to the owners and staff for there politeness and honesty good luck.
Absolutely love this store. Its prices are reasonable for what you get, quality food. A must stop shop for anyone who loves great food and a awesome cup of coffee.
I love the selection and fresh food. The cafe is awesome
This is a great shop to browse in. Every time I discover new goodies I have not seen before. From the take home fresh pasta to the fresh baked goods. Always something great to take home. Friendly staff just adds the care to a already good experience.
Interesting items and great unique foods - they play gaves with prices: 100g chocolate bar is $2.49 - same brand and flavor 300 gr is $7.99 - do the math, they play off your instinct to grab a larger "bulk" item with your thinking that you are getting a deal. Some of the younger checkout girls are quite grumpy and not friendly at all - obviously not wanting to be there.
You’re greeted with a waft of baked goods and coffee the minute you step in. The selection of baked goods , European grocery items , great selection of specialty cuts of meat , cheese, and sandwiches at a great price is enticing . Add to that it’s location close to the Sturgeon river and St Albert’s river trail system and it adds up to being a great experience .
Mercato is apart of my weekly regime. The staff is so incredibly helpful and personable. Paolo is amazing and makes the best lattes and cappuccinos I’ve ever had! He always greets me with a smile and remembers my name which makes my shopping and dining experience so much more enjoyable! Thank you to everyone at Mercatos for your great service!
Wonderful little gem of a store. The fresh pasta is a nice item to pick up for dinners later in the week. The dessert counter was huge with so many delicious options. A must to pickup a weekend sweet treat.
Best sandwiches. Good for coffee dates, great for finding cheese and deli meats to make your own sandwiches or charcuterie boards. Coffee, cheese, meat.. all you need!
Awesome place! Our favorite cafe for every Saturday. Little shopping after having heavenly afogato with freshly made stuff from bakery.
Great place for a quick coffee on the patio or some desserts.
Such scrumptious press grilled sandwiches. Best in the region!
Their products are good, but the attitude of the people working is terrible. The girl behind the coffee has the worst attitude along with the cashier. Even the stock boys gave us attitude. I came yesterday and thought it was chance that the bakery were rude, the deli people were awsome but the rest were terrible. I felt unwelcomed. I won't be back again.
Service
I go this Italian Center maybe once every couple of months, and every time I end up with the Racist cashier. She doesn't say hello or even acknowledge my existence, except to ask me how I would like to pay for my stuff. However, she has no problem sharing pleasantries with the Caucasian customers. Sometimes engaging in friendly conversations with the people after me in line, while completely ignoring me the whole time I am standing in front of her. What horrible customer service. I will not go back there again. I would give this place zero stars but unfortunately Google wouldn't allow that. Learn to treat your customers better regardless of their skin type.
Best place to get deli, dessert and groceries. Great food and great people.
A great local business with a wide selection of foods and drinks, prepared and unprepared. Also has some of the friendliest staff in St. Albert, and prices that are far lower than even local supermarket chains. Be sure to check out the deli!
Love going to the Bakery! Amazing selection of great food and the staff is always super helpful
So many delish choices it's hard to choose, you can't make a bad choice though. The bruschetta is yummy, there is an awesome selection of meats and cheeses that you typically don't find at your local grocery store, and the cheesecake is addictive. Amazing place to go if you want to try something new and exciting.
Definitely try the hot Italian sandwich, sooo good and if you just need a break with a coffee there's always the cappuccino being brewed! But if you're into tea's my wife recommends the london fog.
Stupid setup /lining up /waiting /dining but great drinks and most bakery goods yummy! Store is so so
Good quality pastries and food. However the staff are extremely rude and unwelcoming, especially at the deli- they always seem inconvenienced by customers. We have been coming for a couple of years but will be sticking to Spinelli's Italian Store. The customer service at Mercato leaves A LOT to be desired.
An amazing place!!! If you love Italian food and great service this is the place yo go. Plus they have an amazing cafe there please try ASAP!!!
What can I say? It is an Italian Centre, the quality of product is as good as the ones in Edmonton but the building is new. I am happy to have one close by if I want to have a coffee with friends or buy deli meat, baked goods, or just some of the products that are unique to this place.
Awesome selection of products, especially in the bakery and deli department. Reasonably priced as well
Chocolate croissants are dangerous here and sandwiches are filling. Nice to be able to pick up a few groceries on the way out too.
Smaller version of Italian center. Good product but not as much variety. Cafe is very slow so don't expect your food/coffee in a jiffy.
Love this place, good fresh baked treats, deli meats. Love all the pasta, sauces and food you can't get anywhere else.
Amazing to have a local italian bakery and grocer in St. Albert. It's always busy going for lunch, if anything the place is too small. Prices are reasonable and produce is fresh and delicious.
By far one of the best Italian joints I've been to very knowledgeable very helpful and very friendly what more could you ask for.....?!?! And let's not forget all those tasty pastries!
Awesome place with fantastic food. Bakery is a great place for coffee and a donut or a place to sit down for a delicious sandwich. The staff is friendly and very helpful, and they stock a variety of products in the grocery side. Large assortment of meats, cheeses, and fresh pasta.
Great food options with a decent market selection. Interesting choices you don't typically find in other markets.
Delicious Italian sandwich and desserts!❤️
I enjoy visiting this store for their variety of fresh produce and reasonable prices, especially during peak seasons; and their bakery and deli are, in my opinion, among the best in our area and one of my favorites! I gave this store only four stars for two reasons - it's too small and often crowded, and I sometimes find stock to be an issue, but this won't stop me from visiting again! Be sure to grab yourself a treat and latte... yummy!
Not doing a great job at Social distancing. Nd who pays 5 dollar's for pickled mushrooms. They have a unique selection and some great food, but you're going to pay for it.
Brings the Italian out of everyone! Love this place! PRO TIP Grab something from the bakery and a coffee! Taste of Italy!
Lots of specialty ingredients that are otherwise hard to find, excellent sales! The coffee is fairly priced and absolutely delicious. Great service.
Great Italian food and drinks.
Staff is in experienced not familiar with Italian foods. If you ask where something is. They have no idea what it is, if they carry it or where it is!
Loved it, my dad and I had veggie sandwiches and Italian sodas. The only thing was we noticed a few patrons that sat at the tables without being carded. Perhaps they were regulars and the servers knew them. Hope so.
Awesome place. Plenty of variety. Excellent produce. Helpful, knowledgable staff.
Top shelf deli, good selection of groceries. Would panini again.
My manager at work bought doughnuts from this place and made us eat some. Oh, boy were they AMAZING! Their doughnuts sell out really quick because they are THAT good! I also bought a cake from this place and I absolutely had no regrets. Nicest staff I’ve encountered too!
This is my first time at this restaurant. The bakery items are fresh and so tasty. I would recommend this restaurant
Fantastic spot for shopping meats, cheeses, bakery, produce, deli and more. Authentic feeling right when you walk in. Exported goods from Italy and more. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great for breakfast, lunch and supper food. Oh and don't forget dessert!!!
You have to try their pre-made sandwiches in the fridge by the cash. They are very good! Grab a cannoli and a jarritos and you’ve got yourself a next level lunch!
Amazing place to buy groceries - the deli is superb. Donuts and desserts are delicious with an great cafe. Friendly, helpful staff.
Amazing selection in the deli and market. Was happily surprised to discover almost the entire selection of Summerland Sweets syrups! These are my favorite fruit syrups for waffles and pancakes but usually I can only find blueberry and occasionaly raspberry in any other store. Was super impressed with the bakery, and cafe. Will take me a while to try everything.
I cannot come to Mercato enough! Great products from Italy - I echo other reviews there is a lot of variety and quality. Today’s experience was even more special (but it always is) because of the staff, in particular the lady at the deli counter, your customer service is quite appreciated ????
Nice Italian food in the middle of St. Albert. Food market, bakery, and coffee shop.
Haven't been here in 2 months and there has been a big drop in standards. The staff were unfriendly, didn't know how to make a cappuccino (I was given a cross between cappuccino and a latte) and the tables were not being cleared from previous customers. Some training and better management badly needed.
Good selection of cheese (they do have burrata, fresh mozzarella and bocconcini). This is where I go to buy the toppings I want when it's pizza night at home.
Ten out of five!!! Incredible baked goods. So much selection! Great Market!
Food is always fresh and delicious! And that is why I keep coming back!
It was a beautiful store. A little crowded in the aisles but lots of variety. No one offered to help us with our Cart and there is no sidewalk made for carts.we wound up lifting the cart over the cement partitions to our car. coffee bar needs tweaking.only one cash regster and none just for coffee. Nothing available for gluten free (e.g) a small cold plate. So lunch was not possible but coffee was delish.
My first time in. Good service. Food looks great, but haven't tried it yet.
Has awesome meat and pasta and the bake goods is insane !!
The café staff was lovely! I was served by a girl named Jenna and she made a delightful latte! Great experience
LOVE this place. We had coffee outside and enjoyed a nice sunny day with family.
May 29, 2021. Love coming here. Love the atmosphere and all of the great products from Italy and Europe. I am a return customer and have never been disappointed with the taste and quality of the food. …
Perfect pandemic destination. Reassuring and life-filled environment with great groceries and awesome people. Love the music and the noise and the meats and cheeses.
Worst staff service at the bakery and at the till and the stock boys. If you don't want to work then quite. I sepnt over 400 in 2 days and both days got the attitude. I won't be back.
Possibly the best cup of coffee in St Albert. The staff are top notch and always professional. The Panini's and deli treats are delicious and the food in the grocery store is always interesting and exotic to try. I want to make another account so I could give Mercato another 5 stars
Just wanted to update my review. I think the macroons they sell is a disservice to the reputation of their bakery. Such strong artificial flavors. I hope they fix it. Everything else I got was awesome and deserving of five starts. It's still one of my favorites. You can't go wrong (except don't get the macroons)
The employee i spoke to seemed rushed cares more about his break than helping g a customer
Nice deli, good bakery.
Good service great variety of items available at the bakery.
Good basic baked goods. Not a fan of the streusel, dough is more like a pie crust vs the traditional puff pastry.
Very disappointed I was so excited to try the tiramisu cake Until I got home and it was frozen in the middle , they are frozen not fresh . The olives from the deli I had to throw out as they smelt like fish and were staring to taste rancid .
Very cool market style grocery/Cafe. Similar to Italian centers in Edmonton.
The store is clean and organized. The staff is friendly and helpful. Selection of hard to find food is impressive. The bakery and deli head great food at reasonable prices. The shopping centre where it is located has a nice variety of shops, services and restaurants. You can even have lunch, coffee and dessert. Great place for a date
WOW! How can you walk out of this place without a visit to the bakery! I love spending a couple of hours working and having a coffee at Mercato, the staff is friendly, the store is great, and the atmosphere is quite pleasant.
The best olives and meats at a fraction of the price at other grocery stores. The bakery has a wide selection of wonderful pastries and sandwiches.
Such a tasty bakery, and they have lots of great and different grocery items. Their instore lasagna is one of the best we've tried, and such a great easy supper!
If I was just grading their donuts well they hit the nail on the head, yummy. Or the cleanliness they would have also hit the nail on the head but customer service is fairly lacking with friendly and welcoming staff.
I love the place and I wish they had decorated it with hanging salamis,provolone,hams,olive jars ect,to make it more like and Italian mercato,as is, right now it looks an awful lot like an every day grocery store, but with Italian products. That is the main reason why I and a lot of people loved shopping at Spinelli's downtown,unfortunatly parking is a problem,so I tried the two other Spinelli's,the atmosphere just is not there,might as well shop at safeway.Also music would up the sales,songs like tarantella napoletana,angelina,tu vo fa l'americano,che la luna mezzo marre,hey goombadi,who stole my provolone, buona sera segnorina, ect, ect. Just a thought,personally I like to think I am in italia when I shop there.You are open for 12hrs=720mins average song = 3mins you need 240 italian songs, easy peasy on a loop. All looks good ,and tremendous employees.I love the place.
Love this Italian Shop! They catered our wedding for an awesome price and everyone was stuffed and happy! Great food, great service, everything was on point!! If you haven’t checked these guys out make sure to stop by and get some of their premade panini sandwiches and bakery / deli items. Soooooo good!!!
Dine in
Amazing service, food, selection and ambience! #LoveIt
Always a place to stop in at when I'm in st. Albert. Delicious bakery, sandwiches, and deli. They also have a ton of packaged good you can't find at other grocery stores.
First time here and we loved it. The baking is not only beautiful to look at, it is delicious, we tried the fresh donuts and they were so good. Nice variety of coffees and sandwiches too. Fresh pasta and sauce for sale, fresh baked bread …
Meal type
Their Bistro is the best with a variety of fresh sandwiches & the store is stocked with fresh produce, meats, cheeses & other Italian delights! Staff are very helpful.
Love the atmosphere of the store! People here are so friendly, good foods to choose from
Beautiful inside and out. Nice friendly and knowledgeable staff. Extensive grocery selection. Wonderful cafe with good as and world renowned Illy coffee. The family owners have outdone themselves.
Very cramped, can source the same meats from any big chain grocery outlet. But still an alright place. Cheese is on point.
Love Mercatos for their wide selection of Italian goods and the amazing bakery! If you haven’t tried them before definitely have one of the Italian sandwiches!
So great to have this place in our small city...not only Italian products but Dutch, Polish, Spanish as well as some great artisanal Canadian products. Consistently excellent, grazie mille!
Their baked goods are amazing and service is always top notch. Great place to get an authentic cappuccino.
Better doughnuts than Tim Hortons Facts! Also great price s and worth alook
Pistachio ice cream is the only reason I come here. Best in all of st. Albert, probably the surrounding area as well $$$
One of the best grocery spots in St. Albert if you are looking for Italian ingredients. The staff are all super friendly and helpful and the in-house bakery is amazing. I highly recommend going to this location
I am in love with this store! The bakery, the produce, the deli, EVERYTHING about it has me excited to come back over and over. :)
Amazing food/ bakery and grocery items. Everyone needs to shop and eat here. The best store for parking is on the west end of Edmonton. Cant wait for your 5th store.
I love the place Friendly staff, great selection of product. Love their sourdough and on rare occasion I get their frozen lasagna when am feeling to lazy to cook for myself and I never regret it.
A lovely environment and great food. The deli also had an amazing selection. Everything about this place is wonderful
Baked goods are amazing and the atmosphere is friendly. Good coffee options too!
Amazing every time I go. Would 100/10 recommend going for a sandwich, dessert, or coffee!
Good place to shop for your favorite Italian ingredients and have lunch. Good selection of sandwiches and desserts.
I love coming here to treat myself
Knowledgeable and great service! Kudos to the young man behind the olive & meat counter!
They have a small selection of gluten free products (nothing from the bakery though). If you don't have restrictions it's a great little shop for Italian goodies. They do have dairy free sorbet for a yummy summer treat.
We recently bought a frozen pasta here. Didn't realize until after we got home that there is 0 baking instructions. I would think this type of information should be standard on something that they make in house? Also we found that they did not have a great selection of food like the Italian Market in Edmonton. Same thing with the cheese selection. We will probably go back but will be asking questions on cooking things that have no instructions/labels on them!
Ordered a few sandwiches for me and the family today. One thin slice of roast beef, one slice of cheese, and some mustard on a thick baguette style bun. No lettuce, no tomato, nothing else. Almost $7 for each sandwich. Definitely won't be coming back. What a joke.
Great selection of Italian food, bakery is packed with delicious and fresh baking and pricing is fairly decent! Definitely a new favorite over the Italian center shop
The in-store bakery is of great quality and with a great assortment of goods. They also carry items no other store carries, and have some very good made-in-store pasta. The only downside is the location and the accessibility; turning into the lot is a pain, and the store is fairly small too.
A fantastic amount of products at this establishment so much that it is hard to see all and social distancing is difficult.
So glad to have found this store!! So many European items, coffee, sandwiches, and so much more. Will be back to buy more!
Good place to shop for baked goods, cakes and pastries especially.
Love Mercato's fresh deli and bakery! They always have the best quality products.
Fresh and flavorful food. Fresh pasta, pizza dough and cheese are a favourite for my kids here.
Be mindful of peak hours, it gets very crowded but definitely worth it, excellent selection of everything from baking, deli meats and cheeses, produce and imported soft drinks
Adamo and Mercato Staff are Top Notch! Very nice place and great place for Italian food and Bakery!
Best breads and fresh produce. Excellent customer service and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We love that they opened this new location much closer than driving into the city everytime. Great job on the cafe too guys.
Great place. Great products. Pastry, olives, cheese ,deli are all top quality.
First time visiting today and can't wait to return. Excellent coffee and sandwiches, huge pastry selection, and super friendly staff. Highly recommend this place!
Great service, authentic Italian brands, directly from Italy at better prices than your local grocery store!
Great place! My wife and I checked it out for the first time not long ago. The service was excellent. Dan in the deli was really helpful and friendly.
Very cool Italian market. The prices are competitive and will surprise you. Hot press sandwiches and great lattes.
The fresh baking here is amazing. Huge selection outstanding quality, the Nutella brownies are a thing of beauty.
Excellent, must visit for a foodie, the Tiramisu cakes were soft, moist, with a mild blend of coffee over cake.
Awesome Italian bakery!
You know how you walk into a bakery and you just know the amount of care they put into the goods? That's what this place feels like. Even though it's a bigger shop, it has a homey feel to it as well. My only gripe, and this is my gripe with just about any bakery these days, when I ask for a dozen, I expect a bakery to give a baker's dozen. I don't even care, full price, half price, whatever. 12 is not a baker's dozen. Sorry.
Quality items throughout the store. Baked goods are always a hit, and staff is always willing to help, with a smile on their face!
This feels like a smaller Italian grocery store. The bakery is very popular. I belive the fresh home made pasta is the highlight of this store. I have it all that the location is very convenient.
Great spot to find dry foods and bottled goods from Europe. Candy from Poland, cheese from Greece, condiments from the UK. And of course : plenty of terrific dry and fresh pasta options and deli meats. …
Always visit the pasta bar and deli meats area. Friendly staff, lots of variety.
Always enjoy stopping by for some fresh deli meats, cheese, olives, bread and a nice dessert.
My wedding was yesterday. I sent them a picture of what I wanted and was very specific about the colour, design, etc. I paid $140 for a two tier cake and 40 cupcakes. What I got was disgusting. One of the ugliest amateur cakes I have EVER seen! There was way to much custard filling, cake was dry and icing was bland, cake was also leaning because they didnt support it properly. The colors, design and everything about the cake was not even close to what I asked for! They completely ruined the cake portion of my wedding.
Love this place, can't believe I haven't been here before! The store has an actual Italian grocer feel with an overwhelming amount of variety! Check out all the espresso options in my photo. Produce was appetizing and very reasonably priced. I was pleased to find BC cherries and peaches without having to wait in a gigantic line at the farmers market. The store was clean and well staffed. Lines moved quickly for the bakery and cafe, which btw, 2 drinks for under $8?!? Will be returning. Soon. Often. May never go elsewhere.
Everything is very fresh, amazing selection!!! Highly recommend
I went hoping for a really great bakery. I got 2 multigrain baguettes which were good. Lots of nice looking treats on offer but I did not try any. Then I bought 4 loaves of whole wheat. They looked like commercial bread so I asked a staff member who told me they come from another location but were fresh every day. I took them home. The bread was stale by the time I got home. I left my daughter's sandwich out for a bit (10 min) waiting to see if she would eat more but it had turned into a crouton. It was terrible bread. I won't be going back for the bakery. I can get decent baguettes elsewhere! The rest of the shop looked nice. There was an interesting selection of imports but for me I'd rather shop at a regular grocery store and hit one of the other great bakeries in town for good bread.
I visited this store on September 25th to get a cake for my mother-in-law birthday. First of all I would like to thank the Italian Bakery for so tasty cakes that you guys make at the store! Secondly, I would like to thank for the professional, helpful and friendly staff that work there! I really liked the store, it is super clean and has a lot of items in there.
Great Italian grocery store, fabulous deli with tons of choices and excellent meat and cheese selections. Cracker selection was also delicious. Had a great chacuterie evening Looking forward to trying out the sumptuous baked goods.
Most amazing service ever! Met me on xmas eve night to give me my xmas platters, couldn't get them as planned due to a COVID scare. Above and beyond to the extreme! Thank-you!!! You have a loyal customer for life!!!

I love this place. For lunch or a snack it is incredible. Then you get inspired by their unique offerings in what you can bring home. Worth the trip to St Albert
Their desserts are heinous. I bought a caramel pie and nobody could eat it.
Love this place. The bakery and deli are great! Same as the downtown location with better parking lots of options.
Amazing food! Fresh baked apple pie is to die for with fresh vanilla ice cream! Mmmmmmmmmmmm good!
I L.O.V.E. this place! Full Monty olives are THE BEST! my husband loves their cream pies and at 11.99 you can't get a better tasting deal!
Ordered a coconut brownie, apple turnover, skor donut and latte. Food quality is wonderful. Everything tasted fantastic and delectable. The store is extremely clean and neat. Service was also quite good. Can't wait to come again next time in St.Albert!!
Complete items for Italian food and beverages. Accessible and mouth watering cakes to choose from
Wonderful Italian place with soooo much to choose from for food. The pastries are amazing and I love the fresh pasta and sauces. The deli is a must stop area as well and the employees are super friendly.

This is my go to place for cheese! Best selection around. I'm addicted to the smoked beer cheese. Wife lives the angry Manhattan olives. Can,t go wrong with the standard Bellavitano Raspberry cheese. If you haven't tried it... you are missing out! Pastries and pasta top notch as well. Oh..... hidden gem is that they stock Cola flavored Mentos!
Great selection of donuts & they are nice/big in comparison to Timmy's ! They also have a good selection of other baked treats as well. However, I was disappointed with their banana cream pie. I was surprised for the price & quality of this bakery they cheaped out & did not use bananas.The filling was juz a custard filling. Also, not sure if they used real whipped cream ? If you are looking for real banana cream pie, best to go to Fikel & Dikel pie shop.
I come here for the variety for gluten free options and products from Eastern Europe. Usually the staff is friendly and my family enjoys shopping here except for when we have to interact with the woman who works in the deli in the evenings. She is rude and extremely impatient. My husband loves the donuts here and I come for the gluten free tiramisu cookies.
Baked good and sandwiches are what we go for mostly. Always fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff.
Very busy place. Excellent desserts. Might have to try the Cafe out next time.
Amazing donuts and other gifts of deliciousness. $11 for a dozen donuts, but if you're into fancier cream filled croissants etc, plan on about $30 for the dozen. Would visit again, worth the $$$.
I love this place! Probably the top place for desserts in St. Albert.
A great place to shop in St. Albert. The deli has a great selection of meats and cheese, the fresh pasta is fantastic, there are a lot of unique items here and the bakery is fantastic!! Make sure you get some donuts when you are there. You won't regret it!
Love mercato! The donuts and pastries are amazing! Fresh deli meat and veges as well!
Was recommended to me for dounts by my sister. Bought Italian products there as well. I would recommend to others. …
Excellent staff and wonderful food selection and Devine pastries and pies in the in store bakery! Yummmm!
The service was great they have the best delli in city. The store has a friendly atmosphere and it's very clean.
Great bakery, everything I've tried so far has been good. And the ladies who work their are very nice as well.
I love this place but I spent too much money cuz there's so many amazing foods
The Italian Bakery's Mercato offers an excellent assortment of imported, domestic and freshly made Italian and foods and baked goods. My family, though not Italian, ensures we have a few sweets fresh in our fridge weekly, and look for recipe items for our menu at home. When the Cafe has been open, my wife and I enjoy the coffee and pastries in a marketplace that feels like small town Italy. This is a hidden gem just outside Edmonton in St Albert.
Amazing food! Best place for desserts or if your looking for meats and cheese for charcuterie
My Wife and I ordered a cake from Italian Bakery price was reasonable and staff are pleasant the cake was delicious and moist we celebrated my Brother In-law's birthday.
Great authentic meat and cheese deli counter. Amazing doughnuts and deserts take out or eat in at the coffee shop
Incredible bakery here. The cake is to die for! This is the only place we get cake from for every occasion
Amazing and fairly priced pastries! A good visit if you're in the mood for sweets!
Amazing selection of delicious bakery items. Lovely spot in St. Albert. Will be coming back regularly!
Fresh bakery, good sandwiches. Good for a quick bite to eat.
I love this place, phenomenal quality and selection of specialty ingredients
We live just up the hill from this gem; it is our favourite place to shop and snack!
Just went in for a latte to go latte was delicious but the smile and service of the waitress at the till differed from person to person.
Cute shop. Delicious bakery and friendly staff. Has fresh local herbs and BC produce. I got a Nanaimo Square and tiramisu square. Delicioys
Terrible operational hours, inflated pricing for rich, stuck up people.
The donuts are good, but the other baked items aren't very good. The bread is good and everyone is friendly. Decent prices as well.
I went to purchase cake from this store. There was a young girl her name was Jane was talking to a guy she ignored me for few minutes and when she came to help she asked the person who was beside me instead of me. I requested a cake she put it in the box and through it on me she even did not wait if I need something else. You guys need to train your employees to respect people and treat them fairly. I will not come again and will tell my friends and whoever I know to avoid this place due to this bad experience.
It was wonderful! Such friendly staff and a fantastic selection of foods, a super deli and bakery! We will be back! Loved it!
What a quaint little Italian shop. Cakes were fresh, soft and very flavourful. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Will most certainly return!
Awesome place great meat cheese pastry items. Friendly helpful staff. Merry Christmas.

Stopped by for a coffee and sandwich. Americano was good. Sandwich was fresh and delicious. We sat outside. Was busy inside though.
So much yum here! Deli, groceries, pasta, specialties, bakery, you name it! A little more expensive, but top quality available here. Just do it!
Good place to shop and have coffee and sweets or little lunch... soup and sandwiches are always great there.
Really enjoyed buying here. Courteous staff. Lots of variety of Italian products, freshly made pasta. Deli, bakery items and a cafe inside the store.
Amazing! Delicious options. Good customer service! Love it
Great market. Close to home. Large selection of specialty foods. Good place for a drink & snack.
Always wonderful products and staff. Found exactly what I needed with their help.
Great selection of decadent desserts & pastries as well as some amazing & delicious coffee choices. It is also a market deli!
Coffee was excellent, cake was good too. They have good stuff at the store side.
This is a great bakery and lots of other grocery options. The staff tend to be nice and friendly. The biggest downfall is the lack of gluten free options. However it is worth checking out.
I was treated by a friend recently for coffee (great selection of beverages) and enjoyed sitting on the patio with her other friends. Staff are attentive. Selection is outstanding and leans, of course, toward all things Italian but other international foods are stocked as well. Prices are very reasonable for such an "upscale" market. Don't let the name fool you - it's much more than a bakery. I suggest ample time to browse
Always great, fresh bakery. Coffee staff was great and willing to have a conversations.
Awesome selection! Lots of things you can't find anywhere else.
I absolutely love this store and cafe! The fresh pasta, coffee and fresh bakery items are to die for! We regularly pick up delicious deli meats and cheese as well as all kinds of other fresh breads. Our favorite dinner item is the fresh pasta they make in house! Highly recommend!!
Great place for coffee. If you need nice change from your regular coffee joint you won't be disappointed. Check out the wide grocery selection while you are there.
Ordered 3 platters, fruit, meat and cheese and antipasto for a function. Stood in line at deli for pickup while others jumped ahead and were served while we waited. Our order was missed even though we confirmed twice we were coming in to pick it up. Fortunately our function was the next day so we made the trip in from Edmonton early the next day for pick up. We were asked for contact info, they would do domething to make it up to us. Over 2 weeks later, no call. Even worse, the meat and cheese and antipasto platters were disappointing. Never again going back.
This place is a hidden treasure. The location is beautiful and so is the building. It is an Italian grocery store with a little cafe. They sell amazing little sweets and yummy sandwiches. I do wish there was more parking.
Always a great place to go for lunch! Great local produce and unique foods!
Yummy! I love this place, its tiny but packs a delectable punch has so many wonderful things to pick from. St. Alberts' very own little sampling of Italy. (yes i know there are stores in Edmonton)
Amazing bakery, always a destination when I am in town.
Every chance I get I stop at Mercato, their selection is fantastic when you take into account the size of their store. Also, I’ve gained at least 4 pounds because of their donuts and pastries (we have them at our office)
Can get donuts anywhere. Was looking for more pastry type deserts. The Italian dessert I had in plastic container was partially frozen telling me it was not made fresh.
Love this place. Inexpensive deli and bakery. Desserts are phenomenal and the cakes cannot beat for quality and price. The sandwiches and coffee are priced well and delicious.
Great coffee here and the pastries are extraordinary! It can get busy though and with only one till at the cafe, this can be problematic. Otherwise it's a great little market. Risotto balls in the frozen section are great too, and try the Nellos pasta sauce!
Lots of interesting groceries here, very much reminiscent of an Italian grocery, but tied into Canadian conventions and laws. The deli is robust, and there's a few non-italian gems to be found on the shelves, such as strupwaffel and French lemonade. The bakery is incredible.
Prices are a bit much but great desserts
Really great local food options and the baked goods are excellent
I loved their baking goods esp the doughnuts
I was able to find some spanish salami there since most of the salami there is of Canadian origin and not from Italy. Lots of great items there, brings back memories of Italy.
Great coffee, wonderful fresh bread and buns, cheese selection is great, fresh pasta and a nice small selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. Their fresh basil is the best I've found around here.
Amazing shopping....prices are way better than most Chain Grocery Stores...and the sammichs are AMAZING!!!
The turn overs were underbanked and dry. Was very disappointing. Service was great.
Deli and Bakery are awesome! Nothing better than a mocha and dessert. The chocolate dipped strawberries on Valentines are so delicious. Staff is very friendly.
I love it! It's like little Italy! You find things you wouldn't normally find at other grocery stores.
It's a smaller version of the Italian Center I've been shopping at for over 40 years. A much smaller selection, but they've got the basics, and some nice surprises. Prices are a touch high, but not outrageous.
Take out
Best cheesecake ever.
The employees in the bakery were so charming. Had a delightful meal consisting of pastries and coffee. They did not question this. 10/10 would eat an entire meal of pastries again.
Excellent bakery, fresh pasta and sauces, and specialty items you won't find at regular grocery stores.
When I ordered some party trays for a recent function I was told that the Antipasto tray would have a beautiful assortment of quality olives from their olive bar along with other items including asparagus. All in line with what I had enjoyed from Mercato at a previous function which was why I gave them my business. When I unwrapped the tray I was disappointed to find no asparagus and only a small handful of tiny pimento stuffed olives....not a quality olive in sight!! I couldn't return the tray at this point so contacted the Manager the following business day with my concern. He didn't seem interested in my complaint but took down my phone number and said he would "look into it" and call me back. I never received a call back which speaks volumes to me about their Customer Service!! Their party trays are NOT cheap so when a customer has a complaint they should see this as an opportunity to improve and build customer loyalty not as a nuisance!!
Got a great family run business here. Come get your deals on Italy's best!
Small Italian centre shop. It has a great variety of meats and cheese so you can always have a nice charcuterie, sandwich, and chinotto. I recommend to anyone who lives in St. Albert and hasn't been to it, to go.
Always fabulous inventory. Best cheese selection in town
Lovely sandwiches and services. Popular destination. Fast meals are available along with groceries and food essentials. Diverse selection. Washrooms are actually available which is nice since most restaurants and stores are arbitrarily closing them. Next time I'm in the area and need a washroom or Wifi, I'll stop by and i'll buy some stuff too. Thank you for your commitment to customers!
Lovely Italian/European market. Excellent coffee and sweets selection. Sour cherry cheesecake--delish!????
Great line up of hot sauce from Edmonton! Nellos sauce and fresh pasta! Love!
Good deli and bakery. Good selection of specialty food items. Smoked pork hocks, good olive oil and canned tomato products. Cookies and biscotti. Produce is limited and not the best value or condition. Pricing is up and down. Stocking of some specialty products is iffy at best.
Good selection but with a store only revolving around Italian food it can be more expensive then the regular grocery store. But pastries look very appetizing. Worth going into at least once
Delicious baked goods great deli ???????? reminds me of commercial drive in Vancouver yumm
Large variety of deli and cheese and baked goods. Very awesome store with wide selection and competitive prices.
Love the donuts from here. They have high quality bakery and grocery items. Love getting fresh pasta and cheese from here as well.
This place is the real deal! If you want the feel of Italy in St. Albert this is where you should go. Walking through the front door, you won't be able to miss the bakery! The deli with the reasonable prices is where you should head next. Omg! Walk to the produce area and get yourself some local fresh fruits and vegetables. Take in the atmosphere and the wonderful sounds of Italy all around you! Great place!
Amazing variety of gourmet products. Everything you need for your baking needs. From vanilla extract to cacao products, as well as great variety of coffee beans. Try the Maya Southern line of products, they are really good and high quality.
Tiramisu is a shame for a Italy place, pastry tastes old and dry.....macaroons taste like out of freezer And I wish the stuff will be more friendly @caffe The coffee is very good though
I come here fairly regularly, and I visited one evening a little over a week ago on September 30th. It wasn't busy, and the gal working at the bakery counter was sitting texting on her phone out in the open, not even discretely...it's not professional to keep customers waiting while you sit on your phone on the floor. Then she starred at me rudely and expectantly, like I was supposed to initiate the transaction. It wasn't a pleasant interchange. It's not like I won't return, but it certainly made this store seem less professional.
A decent store with a full range of products, the pies are reasonably priced, I just wished they added a little more butter to the pastry and up the price a little to compensate for it, although the texture was great it just needed a little more. Imo that is ????
I wouldn't buy Nutella here, but there are plenty of authentic Italian ingredients and an outstanding bakery.
This is one of the best bakery's I have been to. The store has a great selection of items to choose from. The baked goods were perfectly made, well priced, the staff were friendly and were willing to help me find everything that I was looking for.
We come here for the espresso coffees. While I don’t eat the bakery goods my partners do and say they are good.
Really awesome place! Great food and baked goods. Just extremely busy and poorly laid out for purchasing baked good and sandwiches
It was crowded as always. The service was amazing and I even picked up a few products I’ve never tried before I’ll be back for sure
Awesome as always... smells incredible...
They’re just the best!
We always love to grab a coffee and have a wonderful little treat from the Italian Bakery. It's a treat to do some shopping, their fresh cheeses, meats, olives and vegetables are always top notch. I can't wait till our next visit every time we leave. Also the other night we were in the store grabbed our treasures and a coffee and on the way out we had a little accident and spilt one of the coffees. I went back in and told them what had happened and the wonderful lady at the counter replaced it for us no charge. We will always be back, but it just anchored us there even more. Thank you so much for the amazing service, and friendly atmosphere. Cheers
Love the doughnuts and meat/cheese selections.
Cakes, donuts etc are amazing. Selection in the store is great. Prices are really competitive with other supermarkets. Love this place.
Mercato I'd the most delicious place to get all your favorites. They have a wonderful bakery, specialty grocery items including cheese, deli, and in season fresh veggies. This place is a must see if you haven't in st Albert.
These look like these should be really good right? That’s what we thought! Until we got home and they were incredibly underwhelming!! They did not taste fresh AT ALL. The pastry was dry and we had a couple bites and didn’t even finish them, it was really disappointing. I will return to the store itself as we did not shop the rest of the store but as for the bakery, we were really disappointed.
Fresh pasta and pies on point. Don't miss the pre-made subs in the fridge by the till.
Love everyone that works here. Super friendly and delicious bakery. Definitely will come back again with the family.
Excellent source for authentic Italian food. Great place to grab a sandwich and a sweet treat.
Great place to shop for many European specialties. Excellent café! Love coming here!
This store is awesome. Superb choices and great selections of items. The staff is very friendly and will help you with everything. I will for sure be going back there to buy more stuff.
Always has great pasteries and other items
Pricing for almond milk is abstract ans they charge you what they feel that day. $2.25 uplift for almond milk in a chai latte is extreme
Everything was great. From the cappuccino to their sandwiches.
My favorite spot to stop in for a sweet treat or to grab a few italian items. Love this place!
Excellent bakery/cafe (the cinnamon twists are a fave) & great grocery store with fresh, local produce. Perfect for picking up Mediterranean specialties like ajvar, pickled veg & pasta.
