JK Bakery is a nice little cafe located in Canmore. We stayed at a hotel in Canmore where I have no status (free breakfast), forcing me to go and and explore breakfast restaurants. They are located in downtown Canmore in the same plaza as the ramen place. Only one other customer was in there when I arrived at about 8:30 AM. This bakery had everything including breads, Danishes, pies, and sausage rolls. I ended up buying a danish a small pot pie for breakfast. The danish was good. The pie was okay. They are a good little place. I think I'd stick with danishes and other baked good. No pie for me if I go back. read more

Nice cafe with outdoor and indoor seating. Artisan breads looked good. We ordered the turkey melt panini, a chocolate chip cookie and a lemon coconut bar. The turkey melt was meh. Nothing special or particularly tasty. They had a premade sandwich wrapped in plastic that they unwrapped and put in the panini maker-- lettuce included-- does anyone eat warm lettuce?-- and it was pretty bland. The chocolate chip cookie was a disappointment, which was a surprise. Not very sweet. Not much chocolate. The lemon coconut bar was delicious! 10/10! read more

Stopped by this bakery shop before picking up coffee from next door. Absolutely loved the two pieces of bread I got. First, the pretzel is amazing! It is soft and chewy, and not overly salty! I often stay away from pretzel because it can be too salty, but this one is not! Plus, it is not oily either! It got a great cracker-like flavor, the alkaline taste is very subtle. The other thing that I got is the multigrain Kaiser rolls. Very affordable and tasty. I love plain wheat bread, so this is definitely my favorite. It has a nutty flavor and soft texture; a great combination with some black coffee. There are other selections in store, both sweet and savory ones. They also make fresh and warm sandwiches, and coffee. So it is a great place to stop by for breakfast or brunch. The store is cozy and simple. Service is just alright, but I still recommend on trying their menu. read more

We grabbed a croissant and mocha from here. Both were super underwhelming. I wouldn't come back and I wouldn't recommend this one. read more

Stopped in a couple of times during out visit to Canmore. Wonderful array of bakery items to tempt you. Rolls, pies, cakes, breads, buns, teas, coffees, sandwiches, quiches, and more! On one visit I got the Turkey Melt Panini and my wife got the half soup and sandwich. The Panini was good, with lots of gooey cheese and a decent helping of meat. My wife's egg salad sandwich was also tasty, and the beef and barley soup was good as well. You order at the counter and await them calling out your order, but listen carefully as it's bustling in there and can be hard to hear. You also bus your own table. There is self-service water in the back corner and a bathroom that was pretty busy both times we were there. We sampled a number of the bakery items, and the cookies are definitely recommended, and the pastries were also very tasty. One person in our party had the quiche and said it was very good. They appear to sell out of a lot of breads on the weekends, and some of the other items were dissapearing quickly as well. There is certainly something here to satisfy any sweet tooth! read more

We got an apple pie and it had a very strong lemon/ sour flavour, not sure why. Not my type of thing. Also, we followed their instructions to bake it from frozen and it took 30min more than instructed (1.5 hrs total). We also got a chocolate Poppy seed loaf, it was good but on the dry side. read more

Wanted some bakery item for a later snack. We arrived later in the day, Baking item were scarce. We still was able to get some bakery item. Vanilla Square, double chocolate cookie, Red Velvet Cookie. They do have sandwiches sausage rolls, whole pies and bread loaves. -Small, with limited seating inside. -nice parking outside -friendly staff at the counter If you want a better selection of bakery item show up in the morning. read more

I received a refund and therefore am changing my review to 5 stars. The food my family got was good and this was an honest mistake that was corrected. read more

I'm not sure why this place didn't have a line out the door both times we came. They have everything a person could want: meals, coffee, friendly service, and baked goods. The food was great and the coffee was bold! Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area. read more

After reading about Canmore, we decided to stop by and walk around while on our way from Calgary to Banff. What a delightful downtown area. We were getting a little peckish at midday so we decided to stop in and get a quiche and lemonade drink. If we hadn't already had a filling breakfast, we would have probably ordered more to eat. The staff were very friendly and we took our food and drink outside since the weather was nice. We would definitely stop by again. read more

Poor service. Brown hair girl with braided hair who was making our toast was annoyed because we changed it from To Stay, to To Go. Took her sweet time putting bread in the toaster. When it popped out she walked to the front and started talking to some other customer. The other worker had to finish our order. Not from here but definitely would not come back and not recommending to anyone who visits. Floor was wet too. No signs or anything. read more

This place is the real hidden gem. We are so glad we found this place. We only stayed near Banff a few days but found time to come here two days in a row. I wish they had a location in Denver and I'd be there most days. Pastries - AMAZING. Coffee - excellent. I've got nothing bad to say. The line can get backed up due to their small location and amazing service but it's worth every penny and every bite. What a small business. Would love to have you move to Colorado but if I'm ever back again I'll be stopping by. Thank you! read more

The menu is great for a soup and sandwich here. They have gluten / lactose free options; and from my experience, is delicious. The sandwich I had today, had by far, the best gluten free bread I have had to date; so good in fact, I had to buy myself a loaf to go. read more

A great bakery but a disappointing café. Atmosphere: 3/5 - Quaint & vintage. Well lit. Seat spacing is good. Tables, chairs falling apart/paint peeling. Price: $$$/5 - Average pricing for a bakery. Customer Service: 3/5 - Servers were polite but inattentive. Service speed was on the slower side of average. Location: 4/5 - Great little spot in Canmore. Taste: 3/5 - Coffee was nothing special; bread was amazing; sandwiches were below average. Menu: 4/5 - Menu is average size but lacks unique items. Should be able to please a fussy eater. Gluten free friendly. Sustainability: 3/5 - Locally sourced ingredients. No advertised sustainable initiatives. Strengths - Great location. Weaknesses - Not the best customer service. Good items to buy: Cinnamon bun, Macchiato, Build-your-own sandwich. Summary: 3.3/5 - Overall, JK Bakery is a decent spot in Canmore and I would recommend stopping by if you are looking for a quick bite before a hike. They have decent tasting meals but where they really excel is their bread made from locally sourced ingredients. Their menu is average size and should please a fussy kid. The one area I think they could improve in is customer service. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope it helps you!! read more

Popular bakery. Great coffee. A wide selection of baked goods. They even have sandwiches. We didn't like the chocolate chip and the ginger cookie as they seemed too dry and crumbly. But the muesli health fruit cookie and the other fruit cake style cookie were excellent. This is a tempting place. read more

This was a great place to go for lunch today! Bread was amazing! They make it there! Sandwiches had great flavor and ingredients were very fresh! Cookies were a little crunchy but still tasted great! read more

Yum & Tasty! I am not sure how long this place has existed but a great random find we stumbled upon when looking for a quick bite to eat. We ordered the full sandwich and soup combo for lunch. I will say I wish the soup was more thick or had more meat in it because it was a bit light specifically on the meat side and very watered down. The sandwich on the other hand was nothing like I had before, they used a curry chicken as the meat and it was amazing. I now want to have it with all my sandwiches! The place had a lot of foot traffic but it was worth the wait ordering a hand made meal, made to order! They had a lot of danishes around but none of them looked very appealing. Stick to the sandwiches and you won't be disappointed. read more

Great find! Bakery/Cafe with great lunch options as well as baked goods for the road. I was AMAZE by the prices - extremely reasonable especially for a resort town! Service was excellent! There is plenty of room to sit and enjoy your food. Very busy, but they seem to keep the line and good moving! Lunch - we had the Soup and Bun special with 3 soups to select from. $5.50 each (CA $)! Chili and Yam/Squash were are selections. Both excellent! We didn't try a sandwich but based on other tables, looked very large and delicious. Breads fresh baked. Items to go - so much to choose from! I chose blueberry scones, blueberry pie and a special slice of strawberry rhubarb cake! We are staying in Banff so not sure we'll make it back again to Canmore, but if we do, I know where we are stopping. read more

We were there on October 24. The washroom was out of order so we had to go to a public restroom outside of the cafe. The food was just OK. I had a grilled cheese sandwich that took forever to make. Very overpriced for mediocre food and no service. read more

Rude and aggressive staff! We asked what's popular but they even didn't want to introduce the popular bread! read more

Both locations are very good. Food is delicious...a lot homemade and staff are always friendly and helpful to me. Love their bread and pick some up every time I am in Canmore. I like their coffee and desserts. Their Tourtiere pie is amazing. I never feel rushed and the atmosphere in both restaurants is laid back and relaxing. Soups are homemade and always delicious. I like the fact you can customize your sandwich to exactly what you like. Much more personal and treats your palette to a sandwich you will enjoy. Tip though if you want to try the soup. Get there early because the noon hour lunch rush can cause them to run out. Hope you'll try them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

I ordered a quiche from where I live in BC, and the manager delivered it himself within half an hour to my sister in Canmore, making a tough day for her a little easier. Everything was very easy and I'm very impressed and grateful! read more

We went in for a latte and and some pastries - they got milk wring in my latte and did not even apologize- the cinnamon bun was dry and tasted like it was 2 days old and my apple pastry was burnt - we threw the coffee out and went to Starbuck. would not recommen. read more

Counter girl was rude, lots of tables dirty. Amazing food though ! Quiche was great, sandwich super fresh. South western beef soup had a great range of beans. Rhubarb pie needs work. read more

When it comes to fresh loaves, buns and breads, JK Bakery is as good as it gets. I'm talkin' some of THE BEST multigrain, Volcorn, Norwegian, Ciabatta and European-style rustic breads I've ever had. And don't worry, if you've got a sweet tooth then you'll surely enjoy their creamhorns, Florentines, fruit flans, strudels, Linzertorte and cakes. From the minute you walk in your senses will overtake you. Let your nose be your guide to taste bud heaven. read more

This place was recommended to us as we drove from Jasper to Calgary. Nicely appointed, and the staff was very friendly. We found some great cookies, health and energy they were called. The rhubarb cake was wonderful. My problem with this place is at the Wi-Fi I was told is strictly for staff nothing for guests. We then picked up a pie to go, thinking that would be a good thing from a bakery, and sadly it was not. We were asked to bring dessert to a dinner party, and it was an embarrassment. It tasted like nothing more than something from Safeway, and clearly they used canned pie filling. Crust was thin and dry. For a bakery this was disappointing. read more

I love this place! I was able to easily order a whole pie to be picked up for a special occasion - friendly and actually, quite affordable. A big thank you to them! read more

Angie & the entire staff at JK Bakery are amazing. All products I've tried are absolutely delicious and I chose them to make 130 cupcakes and our cutting cake for our recent wedding.

Wonderful bakery and very nice staff. The sandwich and soup were incredible. Delicious and nutritious. Such a great price for such generous portions. Haven't had a sandwich like this in quite awhile. Three different meats, the bread was so fresh, choice of tomato, lettuce, cucumber, pickle, etc. Corn chowder was a great accompaniment! read more

Cute little bakery in Canmore with fresh sandwiches, soups and desserts! I really enjoyed my lunch here and would recommend it to anyone. There are lots of fresh breads and one of the stuff on the sandwiches is processed. Yum! read more

This is a real deal bakery - white dinner rolls and all. We dropped in a few times during our staff to pick up fresh bread AND have it sliced thick - this might not be a big deal but most shops can only slice the regular width. I enjoyed the Norwegian the most for toasting back at the house with a blob of butter and homemade raspberry jam. The cinnamon buns are large, flavourful and real nice with a fresh black coffee. The variety is vast and this will be a regular stop going forward. Parking is decent and location is easily accessed from the main road. read more

Oh i love JK Bakery and I am so glad they have a second location downtown where I ca stop by for a great homemade soup and sammy!
