Tasty experience

I like the variety and mix of sweet and savoury options.
Had the Korean sausage flat bread. It was very good and tasty!
Then I indulged with a carrot cake, because a client was saying how good it was. Guess am easily influenced haha.
I can confirm the carrot cake is so delicious!
Also had a decaf soy latte.
Great experience!

Pros: Variety, Good atmosphere , Quality of the food

A favorite

One of my favorite places for vegan foods. Even though this would be easy to make, the bagel itself makes the sandwich more tasty. Wish they would have their cheese bun as a staple. Sweet and savoury snacks are pricey, but good.

Pros: Great food , Selection

Cons: Price , Parking

Delicious bakery, with plenty gluten-free options!

We loved everything! The chocolate cake and frittata are even gluten-free (and so many more, they have a full side of GF items).

Wow! Great patisserie!

Amazing pastries, cookies, breads, etc. Flaky croissants. Really enjoyed the lavender white chocolate cookie. Rare to find an all vegan patisserie!

Amazing Place

Wir waren komplett begeistert von dem Café 😍 tolle Atmosphäre und cooler Stil. Läd zum verweilen ein mit netter Musik und ausreichend Platz.
Ganz transparent kann man den coolen Mitarbeitern beim Arbeiten zugucken (offenes Küchen Prinzip).
Wir hatten das Schoko-Haselnuss & das Erdbeercroissant, 2 Cookies, eine Pizza Rolle und das Cheese & Ham… ich fand alles war sehr lecker. Das erdbeercroissant gab es für 50% da Ware vom Vortag. Das hat nicht anders geschmeckt als die anderen leckeren Backwaren. Klare Empfehlung 😍

Amazing vegan bakery!

This place is so cute, always busy, and its no wonder, I can't believe its all vegan. Everything I've tried here is incredible. We got the strawberry croissant and tiramisu cruffin our first time here and both were incredible. When we were back in Calgary for mother's day, we brought a bunch of pastries to our friend, and brought my parents for coffees and treats because its just that good. My only complaint, the staff on till don't know how the drinks are made, so although they said they could accommodate my drink modification, the barista was unable to comply and we didn't know until the drink was paid for and made. Overall though, the best vegan bakery I've been to!

Pros: nice atmosphere, inviting, baked goods

Gorgeous bakery and cafe!

So many wonderful options to choose from sweet and savoury! Lots of gluten free options as well. I got a spinach roll, frittata and a blueberry lemon donut 🍩

All of them were great! The frittata was the best, filled with potatoes, tofu and a cute tomato on top. They heated it up too 🔥 The spinach roll was good too it had like a tofu ricotta as well. The donut was very lemony 🍋 and didn’t disappoint.

I also got what they call an espresso macchiato. Not the best espresso I’ve had but it was alright, probs would get a cappuccino next time.

Lots of seating and large tables. Wifi if you want to chill there.

Great place to visit in Calgary!

Beste vegane Bäckerei


Für veganen Genuss ist dies ein Traumort. Wir waren während unseres Urlaubs mehrfach dort und haben viel Verschiedenes probiert. Ausnahmslos alles können wir empfehlen. Vegan und lecker zu backen geht eben doch. Hier findet man den Beweis dafür. Ich liebe diesen Ort. Noch dazu gibt es sehr leckeren Kaffee und wunderbaren Tee. Die Einrichtung ist für kanadische Verhältnisse auch sehr schön in weiß gehalten. Wenn es doch nur mehr solcher wunderbarer Orte geben würde. Leider wohnen wir in Deutschland, so dass ich vermutlich nie wieder von dort etwas vernaschen kann. Sehr sehr schade. Weiter so, wie bisher, liebes, verehrtes CanelaTeam.

Pros: Riesige Auswahl, Einrichtung

Buona selezione di prodotti da forno sia dolci che salati, locale molto carino e personale gentile.
Meraviglioso trovare dolci della tradizione nordamericana in versione vegan, sia i cinnamon rolls che i donuts sono squisiti!

Try the cupcakes!

We ordered an assorted box of cupcakes, a spinach ricotta roll and a sausage roll. Taste was 10/10 for everything - but ESPECIALLY the cupcakes. Omg! They were probably the most moist and soft cupcakes I’ve ever had.

We took our stuff to go since we had a tight schedule, but there’s plenty of room to eat in and the decor is lovely. They also gave us the option of heating our rolls up which was nice. Highly recommend!

My go-to spot almost every weekend

One of the best fully vegan cafes I’ve ever been to. They also offer gluten free options which my celiac friend has been able to eat. They always have new flavours so there’s something new each time I go.

Pros: Gluten free options , Breakfast and lunch sandwiches available , Everything is delicious
