Beautiful little bakeshop in East village. The bread and sandwiches look so nice and I'll definitely come back to try them. We stopped in for some sweets and were not disappointed! Really delicious little pastries and cakes. Wow!
Fantastic taste that is not overwhelminglya sweet. The decor is also very refreshing and nicely tied together. Very friendly owner and staff. Definitely worth a visit.
While i was pokemon hunting i came across this small bakeshop and i was hungry so i decided to check this place out. OMG! I am so thrilled that i did!!! These little morsels of cream filled choux was so delicious! The flavor of the day or week was PB&J. It was so so delicious. The choux was moist and light and not overly sweet, when you bite into it, burst of PB&J comes through. It was so good i had to go back and bought six more. Passion fruit. Coffee, Chocolate, PB&J, Hazelnut and they also specialize in roll cakes. So i got the Matcha Green Tea Roll. I only got one bite of the green tea cause my dog stole the rest 😒. If you are ever near River Front by East Village across from the old Simmons warehouse, you have to check it out. #pastry #pastries #dessert #bakery #pastryporn #foodie #foodpornography #foodporn #yyceats #yyc #yycfood #sweetlife #sweets @ Mari Bakeshop
It's always been a distant dream of mine to open up my own bakery. I don't think I would quit my day job any time soon, but you know what's crazy? Someone already opened up my dream bakery. (The audacity!). Introducing Mari Bakeshop! It's everything I've imagined, and more. Cute little space with tempting treats, savoury options, and fresh bread. Decor is minimal and clean; the walls painted in a muted palette of pink and grey with wooden slat accents. If IKEA designed a bakery, this would be it.
Based on the rollcake and choux I had, quite impressive! Very fresh and tasty but not too sweet. Almond brioche is not a bad choice either. A lovely bakery and shop assistant was very friendly who speaks french french hehe
Best espresso in East Village. Sterile aesthetic, that needs some more plant life IMO, but its probably advantageous for them as it wards people staying too long. I had a sandwich and matcha pastry, both were excellent and the portion size on point!
All the rolls were $5 each, choux were $2.50 and the lemon meringue tart $5. Everything looked so good, I decide on the matcha roll cake. It was soft and moist and the matcha cream was nice and not too sweet. I really enjoyed it.
Came here for quick bite at 11am, though I recommend to come closer to noon, they will have more baked goods by that time.
Tried their pretzel sandwich, coconut pastry, and this butter chocolate bun. Their sweet stuff is quite delicious.
Seating is quite limited, very nice interior, and plenty of street parking on weekends.
The owners are very nice 👍🏼
It's a little cake shop/ bakery in East village.
Pro: pastry, flavor, so good!
Con: None!
I feel like I finally met French style pastry shop in Yyc! Mari bake shop is so good, their choux is must try!
It's been a little disappointing about cake & pastry category in Yyc. It is so sad to see so many coffee shop here but none of them have decent quality cake/pastery. I mean, I like North American style sweet butter cream with heavy and moist sponge cake too. But I have been wanting to try French/Europe style pastries. And when I had choux from Mari, I was very glad.
Their choux comes with different flavors, I have tried chocolate, raspberry??, lemon, and so on...the cream was all so delicate and great flavor. The choux it self is biscuit shell type with a plate of chocolate on top. It is tiny but so good!!
I have tried roll cake as well. The cream is so good!
Also, I love their baguette. It's decent. I have never tried pretzel. I would love to try next time!
Overall, I love their food!

I love Mari bakeshop. I have been 4 times since they opened a month ago.
Cream puffs - SO GOOD! full of flavour. Crispy top (sorta like a Chinese pineapple bun) unlike the cream puffs you get at Costco (I feel bad comparing Mari cream puffs to Costco). Light.... you'll forget that you ate a few tablespoons of whipped cream-like filling. My favourite flavour is probably the raspberry made with real raspberries but they are all freaking amazing. FYI: The coffee one has a really strong coffee flavour and is the least sweet of them. Just be aware in case you are expecting a faint flavour of coffee.
Swiss roll cakes - I only had it once and it was the mint chocolate. The cake was airy and moist. The whipped cream had great flavour like their cream puffs. They are well executed Swiss rolls.
Tarts - get the tarts! The crust is thin and crispy which provides a nice texture and contrast to the fillings. The tarts are not too sweet. I've had both the chocolate with caramel and raspberry(strawberry? Can't remember) dome with a lemon curd. Both were amazing. I feel like the secret is in their delicious crust.
Bread - tbh their cheese pretzel was aight. I wouldn't get it again. It was but too dense for my own liking. I've had their other bread tho. I like that their crust is crispy but not thick. The inside of their bread is airy and moist but not dense. I find that with some bakery artisan breads, their crust is so thick and hard it kind of hurts/gets tiring to chew. But Mari really nailed it. Their bread also has a nice nutty flavour.
Seating - it's a bit cramped but they have a number of tables. Prob not the best for large groups. But a good study spot!
