Now I know where to stop when I want a croissant treat.

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, Reinette Cafe had a colab with Nomiya for a Japanese take home meal to celebrate "Girl's Day"…read more"Hinamatsuri " in February. So I took home an assortment of pastries which included Mini rose green tea macron, mini mont blanc, strawberry honey lime panna cotta, cherry pistachio vanilla cake, matcha madeline, sugar cookie, and strawberry, matcha and vanilla macrons. I am not a huge sweet fan so this was a stretch for me, but I really enjoyed it. Everything was tasty and not super sweet except for the sugar cookie which was expected. It was really pretty looking and really pretty tasting. I can't say anything about the ambiance because I did not dine in. Same with the service. In general I would definitely try more things on the menu. I liked everything but the standout was the panna cotta and the match madaline.

Both my husband and I have the app so we sampled 4 slices of cake - Strawberry Soft Cream Cake Slice, Blueberry Chiffon Cake Slice, Mango Chiffon Cake Slice, and Crepe Cake Slice.

But really you can't go wrong. Service was good considering how busy it was for cake day. Ambience is bright clean and fun. They have a very diverse menu, so if you like baked goods check them out.

The drinks were so tasty. The Hot Chocolate was rich and creamy, and the iced latte was so smooth. I loved our drinks. Service was helpful and nice. There are a couple tables inside and I really liked the cozy atmosphere. The drinks were great, but our chocolate croissant fell flat. It wasn't flaky or crispy like I hoped. It didn't really have much texture other than just bread with chocolate pieces in it. We came around 1 pm so most likely we didn't get a fresh batch, but I was still left disappointed from our pastry. From our experience, it was 3.5/5. But I'm willing to come back to try another chocolate croissant at the right time.

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.

Small French bakery located on Calgary Trail. They have a pretty good selection of pastries,…read moredesserts, frozen quiche and other items you can expect from a coffee shop. I popped in mid morning on a weekday so it wasn't busy at all. It's not a big place but they have a few spots to eat indoors as well as a couple of tables outdoors. The service was quick. I was in and out of there in under 5 mins. I ordered a cappuccino and an apple turnover. The drink was standard and comparable to most cappuccinos you'd find at other places. The apple turnover was a nice size and tasted good however, I was not expecting it to be filled with applesauce! That's a first and I didn't care for the applesauce filling. I wish it were filled with real apples. I'm sure with the real apples it would taste spectacular. Price point- drinks are average prices you'd see elsewhere. Pastries were slightly pricey compared to other French coffee shops in town. Their croissants are about $6 and other places are $3-4. I'd like to come back and try a few more items from their menu.
