MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE APPLE FRITTER IN THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM…read moreI travel quite a bit and I love to try donuts wherever I go. I stumbled upon the Sherwood Park Bakery and built my airport departure around trying something from the shop. [They open at 900 am which is late for me.] When I pulled up, there were about 5 people loosely waiting for the bakery to open. THIS was a good sign. As I walked to the door, 2 others queued up in front of me, but the cashier was familiar and quick with their orders. My go-to donuts are always apple fritters. I saw them on the shelf, but was a bit concerned because it wasn't "knobby" like the ones I've tried at other bakeries. Nonetheless I ordered one and I was surprised! It was still warm, NOT knobby, but the dough was almost like a brioche. There was a sweetness to the smooth texture and a crunchy exterior with just the right amount of glaze. AND, unlike apple fritters in the US, this version had slices of apple which was a welcome change. [The apple bits are usually small cubes down south.] There is no doubt that if ever Edmonton, I would make it a point to return for another apple fritter. AND, judging by what other patrons ordered, the assorted/variety box is a popular choice!

Excellent and well priced donuts and other treats. If you live in Edmonton it is worth the drive.read more

I 1st had their Gluten Free Very Berry cheese cake when I stayed at the Sawridge in Edmonton (see…read morethat review). It was so good I went back to the lounge to have another peice when a friend joined me for drinks. Anyway it was so good that I asked the staff where it came from because it did NOT taste like other commercially produced GF crap. We had a surprise party for my mom's birthday yesterday and I purchased 2 cakes from them on Friday. 1 GF Very Berry Cheesecake and the Chocolate Caramel cake for the gluten eaters. They both came presliced with parchment paper between each slice so it made for super easy serving. The cake had 16 portions and the cheesecake had 14. They are in super sturdy cardboard boxes so I never felt once that these cakes would get squashed at anytime. They come frozen but I was told to let them thaw for 2 hours before serving for a whole cake 45 for a slice. I was told if left frozen the cakes would last 10 months in the freezer. Anyway all the guests devoured the cakes. Even though there were only 2 Celiacs the gluten eaters couldn't resist the beautiful cheesecake. I'm not sure if anyone but myself and my aunt knew the cheesecake was GF. I will DEFINITELY BE buying all my birthday/anniversary cakes from them from now on. I didn't feel like I was being left out of the gluten party.

WOW! This place is such a delightful hidden gem! They have been around for quite a few years, 20…read moresome I think I was told, and cater for businesses mostly it sounds like but they do offer to walk in's as well. Sounds like their cakes should be ordered before you just stop in. Their cakes are made in house and I would love to check out and get a tour of their facility one day. And their front staff were super lovely and friendly. Plus a bonus is they have their own parking and lots of it! I stopped in for their open house and they had a delicious display and samples available. That sold me on purchasing some of their tasty morsels! Who could resist a festive rum & eggnog cheesecake? They have some super open house special deals so if you need a dessert hit this place up! I got the thrifty cakes, which are the imperfect ones knocked back in price- they taste amazing so I don't mind what they look like! Sampled the carrot cake, which I had heard some raving reviews about, and hot dang they got a good carrot cake! Shredded coconut, pineapple, cream cheese icing! Super drool! I picked up the festive candy cane mouse for my GF friend, which was super lovely to hear that some of their most popular items are gluten free. Not so much available options for the diary intolerant people so be wary of that! But skimming through their book they have some really neat cakes and presentation- like a baklava cake, or the Mayan pyramid cake! Enjoy a sweet treat from Wow! Factor Desserts I know I will definitely be back here again!

This place is now permanently closed. Which really saddens me as I loved it for specialty food. We…read moredidn't shop here super frequently but it was where we would order turkey and ham for Thanksgiving for example or where we could get an amazing cut of meat for the sous vide. When the closing sale happened we splurged on a lot of great spices and seasonings among other treats from all the departments (homemade pasta, cake, knives etc.) because we knew that it would be hard to get such a deal anywhere else or again. I already miss it. While they never successfully had EV charging insofar as I understand it, everything else was good (if pricey) but they couldn't make the business work in the long run so it is no longer there and definitely no longer open.

This is now my most favourite market in Edmonton area. The store is well designed. Products are…read morehigh quality with great value and you will have a lot of great choices. One of my favourite areas is the bakery. They have the best croissants! :) The customer service is great. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The store is big and has lots of spaces to move around comfortably without disturbing others which is another positive point for me. I think even though there is a bit of driving from my place to this store, we will go back there again at least once a week! :) I highly recommend this location!

This place is always bumping! A very busy spot whenever I've come here. But it's such a fun grocery…read moreand food spot nonetheless. It's hard to resist all the pastry goodies lined up so pretty at the window so of course we got a few. My personal favourites are the cannoli's. But this time we also had a very delightful danish, a rich cream horn and a jelly filled donut. We stopped and had lunch and ordered 2 different pizza's, which came out pretty quickly considered how busy it was. The Margarita pizza $14.00 (tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil) was delicious. The house made pizza dough is cooked perfectly by the way! And we also got the feature pizza. Nice clean bathrooms near the back of the store, plenty of parking out front. Overall a fun outing with the family that we all enjoyed.

Great first time impression going into the newest of the Italian Centres tonight. Bright, spacious,…read moreflows well from section to section. It still feels welcoming like the smaller store layouts with how they designed extra areas to display items. Smartly located north of Greenland Garden Centre, the hospital and the newer shopping common in Emerald Drive & Cloverbar Road. Easy to access going on and off Yellowhead from this location and plenty of room for whatever vehicle size you have. Handicap (several stalls) is right up along the building and not mixed amongst other parking spots. I need to applaud the staff. I've always thought the Italian Centre has friendly and helpful staff but tonight they were incredibly thoughtful. For someone like myself that is mobility limited, I use what I know at that time is going to give me the least amount of pain while shopping (that's 9 out of 10 times a shopping basket). Not only did the cashier bag the groceries well enough for me to carry with one hand, but while she was doing that, she asked another to grab me a cart. Both noticing my cane and how many bags I was about to try and carry did that favour before my shopping order was finished being scanned. I was very impressed she went a step further and offered to assist with the remaining groceries I was yet to load when she spotted I was still in the parking lot (colder weather means I move slower). This is definitely a first for me to experience that at an Italian Centre. Greatly appreciated as reaching into the cart for unbagged items is sometimes tricky for me (pumpkin was the culprit tonight). The layout of this place left me feeling impressed from the spacing of the aisles and the thought that went behind allowing extra room where there most likely would be more people gathered waiting (like at the deli). With the amount of items in there, I'm confident there was a lot more specialty items than at other locations. Even the kitchenwares was displayed in a such a way along the windows that I could actually see what was all there (and reach it easier if I did want to buy anything from an assortment of spoons, rolling pins, pans, pasta press, coffee perks and even icing applicators). I wasn't surprised to see they had a very large layout for all the vinaigrette and olive oil but the way it's showcased makes you feel like you're shopping in a wine store but you're definitely not. As directly to the right there's a very large display of cheese rounds attractively lit beside the deli. The deli and bakery counters seem longer than at the other locations (or maybe it's because again it's very well lit in key areas?). Definitely lots of choices for packaged or freshly cut meat and cheeses. The bakery area probably took me the longest in the store. As I needed to narrow down the options (as there's so many wonderful looking desserts!). Spinelli's café that has its own entrance and looks like during this time it is kept separate from the grocery area with the rope barrier. Looks like a generous amount of tables and next time I'll go earlier with the thought to check out that side too. Overall, The store impressed me. It's definitely worth the extra bit of driving time home if you're out that way already for other things or in need of a place to visit friends and grab a good coffee.

One can look out the window or look into the car garage. The latte coffee was good. Our server was pleasant but not engaged. The deserts were mostly dough, as I was hoping for more filling of apple, custard or raisins. They seem to have cheaped out with the fillings in my view. It loses 2 stars because the place smells like vehicle exhaust. The coffee shop walls are open to the adjacent luxury auto shop and the HVAC is tied in so it cannot be isolated. Are there not Health regulations? This place would be good for takeout but I would not sit and eat there.
