UPDATE APRIL 17, 2022 ==================== Downgraded to 3 stars. The food was tasty as always, however the service was incredibly lacking to the point of awful. There are only a few tiny tables in that congested little seating area and two of them are against a countertop that folks use to get napkins and dispose of their garbage and put their plates for the staff to pick up. As people come to use this counter, they bump up against you on both sides. Not good at all when trying to drink hot coffee. And the weather is not warm enough today to sit outside without winter clothing. In addition to that, the prices have skyrocketed...but that is no doubt a ripple effect of the inflationary economy we are all living in at the current time. $7 for a small 12 oz glass of orange juice - fresh squeezed and not chilled but that is still super pricey. These glaring negatives will definitely deter me from visiting as often as I used to. There comes a tipping point where it's just not fun or financially feasible to visit here. That's sad because the quality of food is fantastic. --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Initial Visit in 2021 ================ Incredible selection of fine pastries and many other items. I ordered their bacon and egg omelette baguette and a large latte. Both were very delicious and made me want to explore more of their delicious food items. The only downside was lack of seating space inside the restaurant so we had to sit outside on the street patio which required warm clothing and a coat. It was very busy so our wait was quite long. Prices were on par with this trendy location. Apart from all that, I look forward to returning here again and recommend others try this great little place.

I have the unique opportunity to provide feedback as a customer and a delivery driver. Both experiences have been disappointing. Let's address the positive: Great location and patio. Above average selection for a coffee & pastry shop. I also appreciate the difficulty in starting and running any business. It's a lot harder than it looks. I was in on 3 separate days. I had a coffee and croissant the first time. No issues and a reasonable level of service although I had to repeat my simple order 3 times with the staff avoiding eye contact for some reason. The second time I simplified life for the staff by only selecting a scone and had water along its side. The scone was ok but once again, I felt like I was a bother to the 6 staff members that mostly gossiped while dirty tables limited my seat selection while being the only customer at the time. Finally I was in to pick up an order for a client. It was pointed out to me that there is a "window" out back for the drivers. Again. No eye contact just a rude hand gesture. Upon seeing the "window" I was greeted with a number of signs from "Banging on glass will not be tolerated" to "Rude couriers will be reported". Basically what you'd expect at the city impound lot. The one lady that could see me acted as if I wasn't even there. The other lady was on her cell phone. Think of other places that post similar signage. What is your feeling about such businesses? Look. I understand that some days are harder than others, but after reading some of the other statements from customers it is clear that customer service is simply not a priority. Enter at your own peril.

The pastries are outstanding - time and again I love the plain croissant, the pain au chocolat, and the tart. The crepes are made to order and delicious. But the customer experience could be much better. There are a couple of tables pushed up against the counter where you pick up your food. When you order, you have to yell over the music and between two plastic dividers for the cashier to hear you. You can’t see through the dividers because they are covered in a multitude of taped-on notices about the food, about there being no bread next week, about the credit cards they accept, etc. There were no forks at the self service area. Furniture was pushed up against the wall partially blocking the entrance to the bathroom so you wouldn’t be able to fit a stroller or wheelchair through. Dirty dishes sat on an outside table for more than twenty minutes. And there were eight people behind the counter at 4pm on a Sunday - not a busy time.

I can easily say this bakery is a top contender in the city because it has a lot of our classic favourites and bakery staples, but also innovates some new flavours, especially with laminated pastries. Both savoury and sweet varieties are available. On top of most of the bakery staples, their baristas also made a top notch latte, brought it promptly to my table. Tarts, eclairs, alfajores, muffins, scones, you name it there are SO MANY options! They also cook up crepes and breakfast sandwiches. They are also open earlier than a lot of other bakeries, but it will slowly become a full house throughout the morning and afternoon (good sign, right?). It is not pretentious place and they don’t focus too much on expensive fixtures, ambience, or furnitures but the quality is reflected in their actual products. I believe La Boulangerie won a top choice award 2023 and it is so well-deserved.

  • Sonia L

This place is soooooo good!!! Love the crepes. The pastries are amazing. Coffee is really nice, I’d say as good as a specialty coffee place. I’ve been here many times with small and large groups, sometimes it’s really busy but the turnover is fast so I’ve never had to wait long for a table. There are lots of vegetarian options!! I don’t know about vegan, you’d have to ask them yourself. You order at the counter and pay, they give you an order number, then you sit down and the servers bring your food once it’s ready. You can also claim a table first, then order at the counter. Very smooth experience. Child-friendly: good highchairs, good service, they let you bring your own food for a baby, and there’s a change table in the bathroom. Thank you!!

I really wanted to visit here one day, and I finally did! Just got the creme brulee, bc we had brunch nearby. Usually, when I get creme brulee I expect it to be too sweet bc usually the cream inside it is sweet and it is sugar coated. But it wasn't that sweet which I liked. The creme was in the middle of vanilla and egg(I think). It was biig so we couldn't finish it. Tbh, it was a bit blend. I liked it wasn't that sweet but I felt like 20% is missing to fill the 100%. But the staff here were so nice. Super nice. I didn't know that they had meal options and soups as well so will come again to try them and other pastries

One of my favorite place for French bakery cravings along with their espresso using Illy coffee. I ate my baked goods too fast before I realized that I forgot to take pictures. I recommend the macaroons, lemon & chocolate tarts. I have tried their salmon sandwich and savory crepe (hard boiled egg and ham) and a French onion soup and all of them were delicious. The croissant was firm on the outside and soft on the inside, the crepe was generous in portion sizes and the French onion soup was great and doesn't taste like instant mix packets. I would come back for more crepe and pastry fix. Perhaps my only concern for this place as some people will notice is the price for some menu items are on the more pricey side.

  • Metal Chic

The space was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and efficient. We tried a few things, Prosciutto and salami sandwiches and the ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was pretty tasty and flavorful. However the sandwiches could have been better. Literally one paper thin slice of Prosciutto on a baguette, And the salami not much better. The toppings on each were fresh though. The baguettes on the other hand were tougher to bite through then any baguette I have ever had. Definitely didn't expect that from a "bakery". That all being said, definitely a popular spot for coffee and perhaps the baked goods, they sure did look delicious. They claim to have Calgary's best brownie so I will have to go back to try that.

  • Carina Kwok

Lovely food though I find it costs a little more than I prefer. They are fair prices - I'm just spoiled by a nearby bakery which is just as good but in a residential area (probably the prices reflect a difference in rent costs). The goat cheese & spinach crepe was super tasty. I recommend you stay to eat; my crepe had suffered a little by the time I got home. It was still yummy. Good balance of flavors. The hot chocolate was a disappointment. It was supposed to be Callebaut dark chocolate; it did not taste dark, or the exceptional quality I associate with Callebaut. It simply tasted ordinary.

  • Stephane Jarrin

This place is amazing; most excellent place to pick up a tart or assortment of mini tarts made fresh and authentically. Forget the store bought pumpkin pie, full of chemicals and preservatives; come invited to the next dinner event with a box of the desserts assorted here; you and your hosts (or guests) will be well-pleased. For every day fare, stop in for a dark and bold americano and a kouign-amann (spelling?) Sweet caramel crusted puffpastry roll made the classic French way. This place is a gem in Calgary. Other breakfast options include egg-dishes and crepes! Highly recommend.

  • Colette Pignal

It was utter chaos. Line up in the middle of the restaurant, people coming so close to you looking in your pastry counter, waitresses walking around aimlessly looking for your table.. It was very uncomfortable. Have your line up along the counter so customers can look while they wait to put in their orders, put your tables all in one area, give table numbers not order receipt numbers for prompt delivery of food and a barrista class would not hurt...2 orders both wrong coffees. You have a lot of potencial, organize yourselves

I love this place. The baked goods are so good. My only complaint is that I was really looking for a good cup of coffee and realized that I won’t get it here. I don’t understand this dark roast craze. I asked and was told they serve a medium roast, so it’s not their fault - the coffee roasters themselves are changing the medium roast to now include dark, if you smell it, you can smell the ashtray smell rather than good rich coffee. If you are anything like me, might be time to switch to tea! And go early, that pistachio eclair sells out early!

  • Mariet Steinmann

It's literally my favourite cafe in Calgary. I've always gotten excellent food from them, accompanied with the very best service. Today, they went above and beyond. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant on Uber Eats. A lady from the cafe called me to tell me that they were sold out and asked if she could substitute it with something else. I didn't want any of the items that they had at that moment, so she actually baked me a fresh one in time for my order! Thank you so much for your excellent service! You guys are the very best!

  • fa aa

My smoked salmon croissant sandwich was delicious. The black medium roast illy coffee made the meal perfect. Ive been here a few times over the years but this time, the service was much better, friendlier and faster. Hopefully this is the new standard. The cafe decor has always been bright & open with wonderful large windows. The smell of fresh baking is always comforting like a warm hug. These were the reasons I would come back and hope for better service. I'm glad to see the improvements I'll try to come by more often now.

  • Min Jo Byun

Went to pick up something with a friend and the lady that was working there was extremely rude to us and kept staring at us as if we were criminals. Felt like she was going to call the police on us and we weren't being rude back. My friends and I tried there food too and it wasn't that good. Calling it French was a shame because I've tried many bakeries in France and they taste way better this wasn't even authentic of the least. Will never go back to a place we aren't welcomed at plus the food is trash.

  • Alex C

This place has a nice atmosphere and is always very busy so I figured I would try it for lunch. I ordered the “ham and cheese” baguette sandwich. It was one of the most disappointing sandwiches I’ve ever had. It contained one measly piece of ham that doesn’t even fully cover the bread, a mountain of cheese (it’s the only non soggy texture), a gardens worth of arugula (I had to remove 2/3rds) and so many runny tomatoes that it the bread was soggy 3 minutes after purchasing. Disgusting.

  • Parth Raj

The food was amazing. Nice, rich and healthy. I would say more on the healthy side than tasty. We took baguette sandwich with chicken and roasted tomatoes. Alongside we also had the chocolate eclair which was not crunchy but had many layers and was super tasty. The apricot tart was awesome too. Lastly we also had the macarons but they were nothing to rave about. We are spoiled due to Bon Macarons that we get in Victoria BC. Biggest Pro for us: WE COULD SIT OUTSIDE WITH OUR TINY DOG!

  • Terri Godin

Great atmosphere for a bakery/lunch spot! Came here to try the croissants and they are flaky with a nice texture, although I prefer a more buttery flavour these were still great. Ended up with a croissant sandwich (cold) while my lunch partner had a breakfast crepe (hot). Friendly staff, street pay parking. Busy place, lots of repeat customers from what I could hear around me. Tables set up outside as well as inside. I wish I would have tried the coffee, maybe next time.

  • Jenn Moonflower

Love the European vibes of this bakery, feels quite similar to spots in France. The pastries and food were great - I’m on a hunt for the best croissant in Calgary and these were definitely satisfying, although not the best. Giving 3 stars because the coffee (I ordered a mocha) was no where near the quality I was hoping for. I’d go again to try more food options though, but will likely seek my caffeination stations elsewhere in the neighbourhood.

  • Chris V

Five stars mean I would go back every chance I could while one star means I wouldn't go back or recommend. This place was a highlight to our trip to Calgary. The crepes were nothing less than phenomenal. The croissant sandwich was perfect. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the cappuccino had the correct proportion of foam in it. So many places screw this up that it to see it correctly made was a great start to my day.

  • Tal Bernstein

The best pastrys I aet for very long time. We took the chocolate, strawberry and the black currant macaroons and although I'm not a macaroon fan, it was delicious. We also took the Quign Aman. An amazing pastry!!! And we got 3 pieces of blueberry pie and 3 pieces of apricot pie on the house. The sugar level now is extremely high :) The owner is lovely lady. MUST PLACE FOR EVERYONE HOW IS COMING TO CALGARY!!!

  • Kiran Qureshi

I went yesterday and orderd a latte. They got my order wrong and asked me to pay the difference for my actual drink. Which would have been fine but they should have gave me the drink instead. They took 25 min and the girls working were extremely rude as they were mostly gossiping in the back. I have been a few times but I guess that was my last. Will make sure yo pass it on to others.

  • Adrianna Rempel

Popped in for my first time (soon to be many times) today. Large open windows, lots of indoor and patio seating, the most amazing smell that hits you when you walk in the door - it's perfect. The staff member I dealt with was helpful and so pleasant. The spanakopita and brownie were delicious, and I can't wait to try my way through their menu and the various baked goods they offer.

  • CY Siu

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Always packed full of people. A wide range of food to desserts that look absolutely amazing. Got the large meringue...and it was amazing. Its for $6 but a very delicious and large cookie. Great texture with it too. Almond brioche - highly recommend. It is extremely moist and flavourful. The crepes also have a great crunch and egg taste to it.

  • Claire Koke

This is a love review to brûléed (brûlée-ed...brûléeed?) lemon tarts and walnut cookies. Thank you La Boulangerie, for making them so perfectly, waking up or staying up through midnight to get them just right, and serving them up to me with a smile (even when I went through that phase of not tipping). Thank you for everything you do to make beautiful food and community.

  • Grace Park

I’m a huge fan of kouign amanns! I tried their pistachio kouign amann around 4pm on a weekday. No wait, and just a few people around. It was good, but a bit too oily and sweet for my taste. The first 1/4 was amazing but I struggled to finish the rest and by second half I was feeling the oil in my mouth with each new bite. But the extra sugar does give it a great crunch!

  • Neto Nizio

One of the best bakeries in town. Be ready to find a busy place even with covid. Any croissant (from plain to the sandwich) is outstanding. $$ standard and very good service. Tip: recently they mixed my order and I waited longer than usual, don't be afraid, talk to the guys that they will find a way to correct the mistakes or compensate you for waiting. Have fun there!

  • Uriel Banegas (Smart value)

Really liked everything i have tried, lemon tart was outstanding so the tarts and cheese cake but a family favorite are the kouign-amann described as the most buttery pastry in France so yeap is that good, of layers of crispy pastry baked with a caramel base perfection every bite -sometimes croissant may be bit darker than i like but personal taste. Great patisserie

  • Erica Jones

First time here. Ordered the baguette salmon, cucumber, cream cheese with arugula. For $14, that was the hardest and most stale bread I ever paid for. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and the baguette was stale as well. We were disappointed and did not enjoy our lunch. Won’t be coming back to try anything else either after first impressions.

  • V Tsang

Ordered the salami croissant sandwich, prosciutto croissant sandwich, a regular latte, and an iced chai latte. The croissant itself was good but everything else was average. If I do visit again, I would just order a plain croissant since I don't think the sandwiches were worth the price ($11 each). Patio was full on the weekend. Good service!

  • Charmaine de Jong

I happened upon this little bakery about a year ago, and one of the staff recommended to me the Kouign Amann. I had no idea, but was intrigued because she knew I didn't want something too sweet. It is like a croissant baked in a muffin tin, with sugar on the bottom that caramelizes! Soooo amazing! Would go back for one in a heart beat.

  • Ang

This bakery is superb. One of the only places in Calgary which makes me feel like I’m on vacation. The pastries are delicious and there is so much variety. I recommend trying the breakfast crepes as well. Word of caution, sometimes it does take a while for the order, but it’s worth the wait. After all, delicious food takes time.

  • Florence Tan

Love the almond croissants and fruit crepes here. Croissants are crispy on the outside and generous with filling. Service is friendly and quick. Atmosphere feels like cafes in Europe. Nice outdoor patio on 4th street for people watching. Parking is available but only limited spots are free. Like that the kitchen is all glass.

  • Melina Daleva

My last visit at the bakery wasn’t very nice. The mocha tasted milk only, the 7 dol sourdough (small) bread was hard and dry and the brownie called the best brownie in town is definitely not a brownie, but was not bad. More like a fudge cake perhaps? My previous visit was better, I guess I have chose the wrong items this time

  • Juju La jul

The owner or I don’t know who is this girl who works there but she has the worst attitude, don’t smile , don’t say have a good day. She just give you what you order without looking at you and looking happy. Never going back there. There pastry anyways are always super dry

One of the best places to hang around and enjoy delicious crepes or croissants in Calgary. Brie cheese or chicken crepe are my favorite with cappuccino on the side . They also serve fresh and delicious orange juice . You will also find an amazing collection of desserts. Everyone working there are really nice and helpful.

  • nomad_paul

Nice cafe for a weekend morning. Plenty of French pastries, variety of croissants, sandwiches, tarts and pies, and many more. Just a few table inside, but they’re have a big al fresco patio during warm days. Lots of street parking around the cafe. We usually grab a croissant and stroll by Elbow River a block away.

  • B

Didn’t take photos cuz it smelled so good, but was craving a crepe and I can’t believe it took me this long to find a crepe that reminds me of home. So delicious, stuffed and the texture of the crepe was perfect! Also had a ham & cheese croissant, also stuffed and so cheesy. I cannot wait to be back for more!!

  • MissKelly Morin

It was ok, very impersonal and congested...not the friendliest service. Small, packed and felt rushed. We went specific for croissants and we're also disappointed. Not at all as good of experience as had hoped, would maybe try again but there's definitely more friendly coffee shops with better baked goods.

  • Christophe Ducasse

Utterly rubbish. Not a gram of butter in their croissant, inside should be yellow, not white! Bought 2 croissants at 10am , felt it was made days ago. 7cad for 25cl fresh orange juice, robbery. The only thing french about this place is the name. For sure avoid it if you are looking for the genuine item.

  • Валерия Подобед

Today we ordered 2 sandwiches with smoked salmon and brie cheese with pepper jam and we were disappointed because bread overwhelmed the taste of the salmon in one sandwich, and in the second sandwich with brie, the bread clogged my stomach. Generally not very tasty and cheeskase tart is very sweet

  • Mark Rossi

Best French bakery in Calgary. Hands down. The flaky melt in your mouth croissants are unbelievable! The crispy and chewy baguettes make amazing sandwiches and the crepes are perfect. Have been coming to this place for a few years now and have never been disappointed by the service or the quality!

  • Mitch Bradley

If less than 1 star was an option. Upon walking in with a 2 year old and a dog I asked if someone was able to help me by taking my order. Waited 20 minutes and no one came outside so decided to proceed inside only to be told to get out as no dogs are allowed. No signage posted and shocking service

  • Ann Novak

Coffee and croissants were really good, but the tarts were very hard like stone which shouldn't be (probably cause it was Friday and they were old) so that was disappointing considering how expensive it is there. For water to stay would be cool to have glasses, not plastic cups.

  • fatemeh farnia

I am a regular customer of this amazing bakery. I love most of its bakes specially the almond croissant. They have different tarts which are all tasty and well baked. To me the only downside is the coffee. They can brew more professionally and make this place a true cafe...

  • AJ Goren

Had an excellent brunch here. Enjoyed the chicken crêpe and a hot chocolate, which was so delicious and sweet that I felt it best not to get another dessert after, but the pastries in the case all looked amazing so I'll definitely look to come back here sometime for those.

  • Maisam Tanbouz

I’m giving 3 stars only because of lack of cleanliness inside and out. The floors need to be swept and cleaned regularly, the tables need to be wiped down after visitors. Otherwise, the tarts are so yummy, but wasn’t comfortable sitting in a poorly maintained surrounding.

  • Laurie Lynn

The staff are so friendly here and the pastries are divine! Every time we come here there’s always something new and exciting. I would recommend La boulangerie to anybody looking to bring a unique treat as a gift to someone for a special day or just because ❤️

Best crepes and pastries around!! I recommend anything with the dark chocolate Callebaut sauce, especially their Callebaut hot chocolate. Their macarons are beautiful and so brightly colored. And their custard tarts? Beautifully flakey and juicy

  • Abra Layton

I don’t see how a single croissant and a coffee takes almost an hour for Delivery. And not on the delivery side. It took forty minutes for the order to “be prepared” obviously take out from this place is not the way to go. Absolutely ridiculous.

Very good little bakery for coffee and food. We tried the breakfast crepe and melette croissant and they were delious. We also LOVED the coffee which uses illy beans, our favorite and taste just like in Italy. Would definitely visit again.

  • Caddy Dee

Cute place. Clean. Friendly service. Very busy just before and during lunch. I had a small lemon tart. Pure sugar. I could taste the sugar crystals as it seemed like they weren't dissolved. Much much too sweet for me. The shortbread crust

  • Rafael Hernández Alarcon

One of the croissants in the city. Their Kouign-amann is espectacular, the best in Calgary. Sometimes very busy, staff overwhelmed with amount of customers, but with the quality and flavour of their baked goods is totally worth it.

  • Christine Gold

I have never been to or tried a Kouign Amann. It is the best pastry I've ever had! A cross between crossaint, caramel bun, sweet, savory, buttery, so delicious The coffee was very good and the service exceptional! …

  • The Savvy Guide

Nice bakery overall. We ordered a prosciutto sandwich and a pepper salami. Had to open to see if there was any meat inside. Very skimpy and the bread was very hard. Overall difficult to eat. The croissant however was memorable

This place feels like a café you’d find on the streets of Paris! Quaint and cozy, and the staff were very kind. The strawberry tart I ordered was out of this world, just insanely FRESH and authentic. I will absolutely be back!

  • Jessica Lau

The cutest little spot! It’s always super busy during the summer so best to go early if you want to snag a seat. My go-to is the ham and cheese puff pastry, though everything on the menu (especially the crepes) sounds divine!

Amazing cafe that really sets itself apart. The coffee is great, the baked goods look to die for and if you want the absolute best damn sausage roll in the city. You've found the place to be. Very friendly lady that owns it.

Saw their creme brulee on Instagram, and wanted to try it out! It was very creamy, but not totally set. Delicious, but it is a little expensive at $8 each. Worth a try if you're in the area!

Really like the patio on a sunny morning. A bit disappointed that to get a coffee refill it's full price. Got the stink eye from the service staff when I didn't tip on the 2nd coffee.

Would give 6 stars if I could. Ham and cheese crepe beautifully “crisp and gooey”, amazing rich coffee, and a life-changing blueberry-vanilla-custard Kuarnin pastry. Like seriously!

  • Natasha Sutherland

Great coffee, lovely location and excellent baked goods. It was about $7.50 for an iced coffee, so it is on the more expensive end. Very busy, but great service considering.

If you want to have to wipe down your own table this is the place. The patio is nice and dessert is good but the tables are soo dirty and they don’t care to wipe them down.

April 17, 2023 Dropped in to have a coffee and tried their croissant in the morning. The café has a wide selection of French pastries, interesting that it chose to

Perfect Cafe in the heart of Mission. I bring my Dad here, he loves it! We sit together and he tells me stories. Try the ' alfajores'...the coffee is delicious.

  • Filipe Drumond

One of the friendliest place ever, delicious coffee and some of the most beautiful and delicious pastries in Calgary! Wishing La Boulangerie all the very best!

  • John Chik

A great bakery with excellent outdoor seat and places to lock up your bicycle. I had a very good cappacinno and croissants there! I definitely want to go back!

  • Kevin Peyton

If there was such a thing as too much cheese on a ham and cheese croissant (which there isn't!) this place would be perfectly on the borderline! Fabulous!

  • Jes

Delicious cappuccino (double shot) and pastries. The place is beautiful and the atmosphere was great. It’s the type of bakery you’ll enjoy to be in!

  • Аліна Демчук

The pastries are delicious, the staff are friendly, the location is good. But the institution is very dirty everywhere! It was unpleasant to sit

  • My B

They offer the most delicious pastries, and I would come back here again and again. The place offers a very French cafe vibe. Worth a visit!

  • Tiffany Candy

Everything here is amazing! Highly recommend their tarts and Nutella prolifiterole (spelling) cookie! Breakfast sandwiches are drool-worthy!

  • Tyler Lunham

Best Cafe downtown! Such a massive selection of baked goods and delicious coffee.. you have to try the bacon & egg omelet croissant 10/10

  • Genevieve Jessiman-Perreault

Really good food that was soured by extremely rude behaviour from the barista. I couldn't wait to get out of there away from her scowl.

  • Your Ex

A pretty decent coffee and French pastries cafe. Very nice vibe and great service. Love the variety of different desserts they have.

Awesome French Cafe. 1 star less because they didn't serve French onion soup in traditional bread bowl and also didn't have Flan..!

  • Herbert Smith

This is my favorite bakery in the city. It never disappoints. Even in the evening you can find an awesome meal. Love love love it.
