    A work colleague introduced me to the Brûlée Bakery on a nicely warm and sunny Saturday morning. We were walking down Electric Avenue, when she made a hard turn at an unmarked door and then hard left to downstairs. Upstairs was a cooking store and school, with the Metrovino Wine Shop farther through. She knows of this place as she lives in this general area and the next door spa she goes to serves Brûlée Bakery goods to their customers.. Her first reaction when I started asking for details of this place was "Don't write this place up on Yelp!" Too Late, as the secret of this wonderful little bakery is already out. I ordered a pecan roll that was the best warm and sweet piece of baked goodness that I had enjoyed in a very long time. And if actually lived in Calgary, I would be back often for the breads and the various tempting examples of Le Gâteau Élégant. I was so impressed that later in the afternoon, I circled back by myself and snagged a few breakfast scones for the next day and after. It was all good to the very last crumb.

    I was walking down the street thinking about mundane things like how to better organize my closet and suddenly I felt like I was in a cartoon. You know when a cartoon bear is walking along and suddenly a smell cloud wanders through the air and he sniffs and follows it until he spots an amazing picnic through the bushes? It was JUST like that. Except the scent cloud in this case consisted of heavenly, cinnamon sugar. I followed my schnoz to this bakery establishment and the warm cookies tasted just like the air had smelt. Ambrosia! I have since ordered cakes from here and this is where Brûlée shines for me (as I don't just drop in to sample goods often). I have loved every cake I have purchased (and received lots of compliments on the choices) but my heart truly beats for the Ganache. Mmmm, in my dreams every fridge would open to left-over fried chicken and Brûlée chocolate cake...

    Hidden gem alert! This place is fantastic! Seriously you guys, if you want a special treat or you just feel overly indulgent this is place to go. It's a tiny little bakery on 10th where everything is made fresh! There are tons of gluten free options, but since it was my birthday I opted for a mini-cheesecake with fresh fruit on it. My favorite part; the gooseberry on top. You see I have an odd obsession with gooseberries, I think they are fantastic and could eat them all day long! I brought my creamy delicious treat back to the office to snack on during the afternoon and it was even more delicious than I expected. This tiny bakery really out does itself, the melt in your mouth goodies are seriously worth it. They don't have a huge selection but that's what makes it unique - it's not overdone, and frankly it kind of reminds me of a European bakery or something you would find in New York which just makes it that much more desirable. Calgary has a lot of great cafes with baked goods but this place really trumps them all!

    Mmmm... an underground bakery. Literally. Brulee dwells in the basement half of one of the buildings on 11th Ave. The first time I visited was to buy myself a piece of birthday cake. The second time, to buy a friend a piece of birthday cake. I was that impressed with my own piece. It's no wonder Brulee has such a good reputation--your dessert is baked and dressed to impressed with copious amounts of TLC in every bite. The cheesecake is next on my list to try as suggested by Gimlet B, but you'll be pretty safe with anything in there... unless of course you're looking to avoid satisfying your sweet tooth. In that case, run.

    I got the chocolate Ganache cake for my 30th birthday and I loved it. The cake was decorated with fresh flowers and it was super tasty. I believe it's one of the best in town.

    The cake before the big cutting!

    Ever since we had kouign amann almost a decade ago in a French patisserie in Quito, Ecuador of all…read moreplaces, my husband has been on the hunt for the best kouign amann wherever we travel. The bad news is, there is no good kouign amann in Seattle or anywhere in the western US (so far, by our calculations). The fantastic news is that there IS stunningly delicious kouign amann in Calgary! I first balked at La Boulangerie because I had bookmarked two other bakeries to try. But I'm so glad we came here. Walking up to the storefront, I took in the quaint outdoor tables and the people enjoying a coffee and brunch. The first language I heard outside was French, which only added to the idea that we were in the right place. It wasn't busy when we walked to the counter at an off hour during the week, but I could see this place being slammed on a nice weekend. Do yourself a favor and take the time to look at all of the treats in the case. I had no idea which one to pick, but I'm so happy I went with the pear marzipan croissant - something I wouldn't easily be able to find at home. The savory breakfast crepes were tasty but could have been enhanced by a sauce on the side - the ingredients inside were a little dry. The Nutella latte was AH-MAZE-ING. Sweet, hazlenutty, but not overpowering. I immediately looked up a recipe for a future attempt to recreate it at home. The standout by far was the kouign amann, which comes in more than one flavor (insert mind blown emoji here). My husband chose a vanilla-filled one. Holy lamination. The layers, the glaze, the crunch. The vanilla cream filling was somehow both fluffy and delicately flavored yet sturdy enough to survive a day in the car. If I could fly back to Calgary every weekend just to buy a single kouign amann from this place, I would. Service was wonderful and we were surprised that that instead of calling our number, the staff walked each component of our order out to us. Highly recommend. Please visit and fulfill all your kouign amann fantasies!

    We were here couple weeks ago and was looking for coffee and some sweet to go with it. This place…read morepop up on our search. Came in and it had a little crowd so we though it must be good.

Parking is not free and the meter didn't take coins even though it has the option of taking coins. Overall we didn't like it.
