This place is a beautiful space to catch up with friends over a lovely baked treat or selection of other tasty treats including my favorite, the crepe. Fantastic service, great atmosphere and a nice spacious patio for when the sun is shining :) a favourite spot of mine for a coffee and to unwind.
Great breakfast and lunch cafe. The food is excellent and they bring it right to your table. The patio is a nice touch. I highly recommend this place.
La Boulangerie is just so good.
It’s a great cozy atmosphere that surrounds you with busy workers and beautiful pastries.
Every time I go, the service is quick and wonderful, you’re ordering and sitting down to relax within 3 minutes. The coffee is fresh and aromatic, and if you’re feeling something sweet, the Nutella Latte is INCREDIBLE.
The crepes seem a little expensive but as soon it gets to your table you can tell they’re worth it. Great flavours, good size, totally worth it.
If you’re in Mission and are feeling like a cute cafe to chill in, La Boulangerie is the way to go.
Had the ham and cheese baguette and it was delicious! Staff was friendly, the atmosphere is very much like a European cafe. I will definitely be back.
La Boulangerie is a great place to grab a coffee and little something sweet. They also offer savoury dishes.... sandwiches, soups, etc., but I only opted for dessert. I had the new york cheesecake. It was delish. Latte was great too. The owner was so friendly, she even brought me and my 3 friends complimentary profiteroles after we sat down on the patio. They were fantastic too!
Kicking off the 2017 travel schedule in Alberta, games at arenas #26 and #27 of the NHL Bucket List on the agenda, Saturday morning was off to an early start at La Boulangerie Bakery Café in Calgary, a spot that once the 8-day trip was finished still stood out for some items worth seeking out including a flawless savory Croissant and world-class Canele.
Located at 2435 4 Street SW and open at 6:30am every day but Monday, much like the best of France, La Boulangerie Bakery Café brings European craftsmanship and work-ethic to Western Canada with a collection of Pastries, Tarts and Viennoiserie that is far too vast to be explored in one visit, a total of eight items ranging from good to excellent only scratching the surface of what I’d like to have tasted.
Surprisingly busy given the cold weather and early hour, at least two-dozen patrons passing through or sitting down to enjoy during my short stay, service was smiling and helpful while seats were close-packed yet comfy, a small two-top near the door almost overloaded by a collection from which the Mozzarella and Sesame Croissant was sampled first – laminated layers shattering to the tooth just as they would in the Cream and Almond-filled versions later, but giving way to a gooey, cheese-lacquered center that melded perfectly with toasty Sesame notes and plenty of Butter.
Admittedly not wowed by the Almond Croissant, thankfully not marred by Frangipane but also a bit too stingy with ground Almonds, expectations were met by a Kouign Amann awash with butter and a crackling Sugar bottom, the Canele going one step further and surpassing almost any outside of Europe in terms of crispiness overlying Custard, even if the outside lacked the traditional deep-brown polish.
Setting aside the Cinnamon Roll, underflavored though well laminated like the rest, better bites were found amidst the sliced Croissant that stood up well the cream filling, the same to be said of crisp Choux surrounding the naturally flavored Pistachio filling of a lengthy Éclair while both the Caramel Tart and self-proclaimed “Best Brownie in Calgary” were well constructed with Nuts helping to temper their sweetness.
Amazing food/coffee with the classic tiny french cafe vibe. The strawberry tart was mind blowing. Rich custard balanced with tart strawberries all on top of a crumbly crust. Seriously perfection. The beef stew (not pictured) was a bit too salty, but the flavours were great! The ham & cheese croissant was delicious! When I picked it up I was surprised by how heavy it was. It is REALLY packed with cheese. A warm, cheesy croissant in the morning, doesn't that sound GREAT? The coffee was hot and fresh! I would definitely come back for the desserts. Service was a bit awkward but nothing to complain about.
Best bakery in Calgary! Large variety of food and beverages. Staff is super friendly, especially the owner. (She takes time to get to know everyone and make conversation every time I come in). Will always be a customer of La Boulangerie😊
Most amazing bakery in Calgary!
Everything from the pastries to the beverages are just addicting! I am so happy I work so close to this gem in mission!
Great breakfast, lunch, and brunch place. Wide selection of freshly made croissants, croissant sandwiches, crepes, danishes, and other baked goods. My favourites were sweet and savoury croissants which were delicious and divine! The staff were friendly and genuinely smiling which was a plus for me. It adds to the overall milieu and personal experience of the place. It gets pretty busy in there but you'll be able to find a cozy spot to sit down and enjoy what they have to offer which is definitely worth the trip!
La Boulangerie is a local gem that prides itself on artisanal baguette sandwiches and other assorted pastries. It is one of my favourite bakeries in the city, and the friendliness of the service keeps me coming back. Some of the must-haves include their tradition bostock, which is an almond pastry with a sugar glaze that makes taking just one bite impossible, and their matcha almond croissant, which has a delicate hint of green tea with a light flaky texture that creates an unforgettable taste. Definitely a great place to catch up with friends, or to pick up a few treats!
I'd say for the price, the pastries are decent. My smoke salmon baguette was actually quite tasty despite it being dry. This place fills up really fast on weekends so be sure to come earlier.
The staff are so friendly here and the pastries are divine! Every time we come here there’s always something new and exciting. I would recommend La boulangerie to anybody looking to bring a unique treat as a gift to someone for a special day or just because ❤️
Nice cafe for a weekend morning. Plenty of French pastries, variety of croissants, sandwiches, tarts and pies, and many more. Just a few table inside, but they’re have a big al fresco patio during warm days. Lots of street parking around the cafe. We usually grab a croissant and stroll by Elbow River a block away.
This bakery is superb. One of the only places in Calgary which makes me feel like I’m on vacation. The pastries are delicious and there is so much variety. I recommend trying the breakfast crepes as well. Word of caution, sometimes it does take a while for the order, but it’s worth the wait. After all, delicious food takes time.
Nice bakery overall. We ordered a prosciutto sandwich and a pepper salami. Had to open to see if there was any meat inside. Very skimpy and the bread was very hard. Overall difficult to eat. The croissant however was memorable
Perfect Cafe in the heart of Mission.
I bring my Dad here, he loves it! We sit together and he tells me stories.
Try the ' alfajores'...the coffee is delicious.
