The staff are all friendly and helpful, and the food is amazing! We get the sandwiches made with their fresh breads and they are so good, and a reasonable price. Also just recently used their website to order a birthday cake for my husband. The website is easy to navigate, there are clear pictures and descriptions of the cakes. And you can easily add a message to the car at no extra cost. The cake prices are also very reasonable for a homemade bakery cake. The process was simple and I was able to pick my pick up day and time. We went early to pick up the cake and it was still ready to go. And the cake itself was beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious! I will be ordering any cake I need here from now on! Great place, great food and desserts, great service. Just love this place!

They always have fresh bread, pastries and deli. And they have dry goods and a refrigerated section. Food: today i went just for a birthday cake - i did not pre-order. But i knew they they always have some pre made cakes. They are fresh, moist, not too sweet! They even wrote the message in Spanish! On a different note - this is my favourite place for Italian pastries- best than any other location or other Italian centres.

When attempting to return or exchange an item, or when raising concerns about product quality, I found the staff to be defensive and unwilling to acknowledge or address the issue. Rather than working with the customer to find a reasonable solution, my experience was that the responsibility was placed back on the customer. Unfortunately, I have not found the quality of products or the level of service to match the expectations I would have for a business of this type. There are other excellent places in St. Albert where customers can spend their money and receive better service and a more positive experience.

Unfortunately their empanadas were not ready yet, the butter chicken one sounded good to me. However, we did grab 4 various hot dog/smokies wrapped in cheese bread. They were delicious. My husband and youngest daughter had a hot dog (which for $1.50 is a steal of a deal), my oldest daughter picked the honey garlic smokie and I chose the jalepeno smokie. They also had BBQ pork buns as well as purple yam buns available. I will need to try them all!

The best part of this hidden gem is you get your bread HOT straight from the oven. I always missed back home the local bakeshop serving you warm bread every morning. Happy and so grateful this is in our neighbourhood that I can get WARM bread daily for breakfast. Their breads are tasty, different varieties, fresh and totally inexpensive. Love it! Love it!

No one else around at 4:15PM on a Thursday. Inside they have quite a large variety of baked goods and they even had bread loaves left but the cashier said there are a ton more variety in the mornings. Cashier was friendly and happy to answer my questions but when I told her I wanted unique desserts she offered the black forest cake and carrot cake - so standard! Possibly they were very well made but not what I was looking for. I loved the 1/2 price counter as that is super appealing to me. No public bathroom. I ended up with: Mini Sacher Torte- I found this quite bland. The chocolate cake was just fine but not wow and the apricot jam was not very flavorful. Marzipan kipfel - I was worried I didn't like Marzipan but this turned out to be a crowd pleaser. I gave a sample away to some friends and they and I loved this flavor. Best item from this shop that I tried. Boyfriend tried it and said it was a "sharp sweet" not "rich sweet" and could only eat a small piece. Peach square - I was disappointed in the flavor and texture of this one. While I do understand peach is a soft flavor it just was not to my liking! Overall if you are in the area worth checking out for some unique goodies and I recommend the Marzipan ones!

There are very few real bakeries on the south side of the City. By that I mean bakeries that sell a…read morevariety of breads. We have lots of places that sell pastries but not bread. Of course for those who want white bread there is an ample supply at any grocer. But if you want real bread such as sourdough, multi-grain, whole wheat, rye or maybe even pumpernickel, the choice is usually to drive to Bon Ton in the west end. Vienna is a rare exception. Here you can get loaves of most of the the fine breads. They seem to carry a lot of rye breads. Some of them are as soft and aromatic as a good sourdough and others are so heavy that they could double as a weapon if needed. Vienna also carries lots of buns and specialty items including some pastries. The pastries are okay but that is clearly not their specialty. This is a bread place. They run out of some kinds of breads early to minimize waste and day-olds so go early to ensure that you get what you want. Service is always quick and friendly. Now the problem with Vienna Bakery is with their location. They have found the most inaccessible location in the City. There is one entrance which also serves as the only exit. Most people will probably access it my heading north on Gateway Blvd. You have one chance to turn right on 61 Avenue which will look like a back alley. If you miss it don't take the next right which is Argyll Rd as there is no access there. Those drivers who are particularly good at following their GPS's instructions can come via Calgary Trail, by turning soon after crossing Argyll but they must then wind around an old industrial area before reaching the lights at 61 Ave. Exiting from Vienna means you'll either go north on Gateway Blvd or wait at the lights before crossing Gateway and winding through that industrial area and, if you didn't turn too soon, you'll end up at Calgary Trail southbound. Seriously it's tricky. Needless to say there is always lots of parking for the few people who successfully reached this place. I should also mention that if you make the correct turn you will probably think you've errored because you'll just see loading docks. You have to drive through the narrow gap between two buildings to see the front. Good luck. I considered giving them four stars for generally good bread but decided to make it only three on account of the location. Bread should not be this hard to find.

We tried 2 different breads - both were absolutely delicious. Very fresh. The 2 customers in front of us ordered 2 dozen buns/breads each. Highly recommend grabbing the buns for chili, soup, stew here! They freeze really well too! Staff was not as helpful but I wonder if that is because she speaks limited English. Unable to give a very good description of products. We tried the custard-filled bread/donut - very light, fresh and custard was good. We also tried the caramel cookie. It was a hard cookie with caramel sandwiched between and icing sugar on top. Cookies were kind of like a digestive cookie. Caramel was interesting - creamy, not sticky, not too sweet. Very nice. Overall a very unique stop with amazing buns and great caramel filled baked goods.

Items Selected: Baccala Fritter…read moreChicken and Vegetable Ball Shrimp Fritter Portuguese Egg Custard Coconut Sweet Bun Tradicional Nanaimo Bar Peanut Butter Nanaimo Bar Apple Fritter Bolo de Balacha Caramel Custard Orange Pastry Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake Serving an ethnic community on the outskirts of Edmonton since 1996, Portuguese Canadian Bakery on 118 Avenue NW does double duty as a grocery store for popular ingredients both imported and domestic while turning out a wide variety of Breads and Pastries shoppers will rarely find anywhere else. A spacious store with a small seating area, the bulk of its retail space lined with shelves and refrigerators containing everything from Cereal to Salt Cod as the area not visible turns out nearly sixty baked Pastries and Breads daily, those willing to lose themselves in curiosity will be tempted to over-order by a large amount, the servers happy to explain traditional choices though English is limited. Offering a few hot dishes and sandwiches, perhaps not everyone's style at 8am but irresistible to others, Breakfast began with three Fritters packed with Meat including one with buttered Shrimp and another stuffed with shredded Baccala, the Chicken unfortunately fried for a bit too long and thus coming across a bit oily. Assuming early arrival would be beneficial, and proven correct by a jiggly Egg Custard in Puff Pastry that was still warm to touch, the savory notes extended to the Coconut Sweet Bun that had a light salinity beneath the Glaze, a Fritter chock-full of Apples soft but not greasy, almost like a fried Danish, clearly crafted for those seeking more Canadian sorts of indulgence. Showing dual-citizenship by way of a Custard, Cream and Chocolate Nanaimo Bar, plus several additional flavors that replaced Vanilla with everything from Peanut Butter Cream to Mint, the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake unfortunately tasted a bit bitter with a spongy dryness throughout, the layered Bolo de Bolacha far more successful with crunchy Maria Cookies divided by creamy Coffee Cream and Cinnamon flavors. Rounding out the morning with two dense discs that resemble Egg Custard without the Crust, one labeled as Caramel and the other Orange, those who are fans of Flan should seek these out as they are a little starchier but still just as luxurious, the orange especially memorable thanks to the natural poignancy of its flavor.

So I went here because they had a deal 2.50 mini cheesecake tart. I bought four because this is…read morethe maximum to try. However I split them because my oldest was over and a starving student...lol. So she recieved the apple spice and stawberry tart. Tarts themselves were well constructed. I liked how the base didn't crumble. We had the marshmellow chocolate and the creme brule. Those two were tasty. I especially enjoyed the creme brule. However, if I paid full price for these I would be annoyed. (close to 6 bucks for each tart). They were tiny. Staff were okay but not helpful when selecting a tart. I asked which ones were part of the deal and they didn't answer, and I had to ask for the apple and the creme brule even though they were part of the deal. Now they changed the deal. So it is not near as cheap. I would say unless you love these things skip it. There are way better desserts out there for the same price.

Tried the full size creme brule. It was good. Creamy, soft, but not as flavorful as I thought…read more Caramelized sugar on-top looks and tastes great but makes cutting it hard. So many flavors to still try!
