I remember this place since I was a kid. We used to order her baked goods while she was baking them out of her own home. Best baked goods and so fresh. I have never once had a bad experience. I love their cakes - so fluffy, light, delicious and not so sweet. Best Filipino Bakery I've ever been to. Really beats Goldilocks. I was actually disappointed when I first went to goldilocks. This place set the bar high for me when it comes to Filipino baked goods.
Unlike Safeway, Melly's does not use preservatives, because their cakes don't stick around long enough. Melly's use real eggs, real butter, and real everything else. Even the boxes to carry these creations home in are real cardboard. About the only place I known of that comes close in cake quality is Co-op. In addition, they have a few tables, where you can munch on some delicious dishes. Unfortunately, Melly's is as far east as you can go in Calgary. Location, location, location is not a maxim at Melly's.
Worth the trip. The only bad thing about Melys is how far it is from my home. Anytime I am in the northeast I will make a side trip to Mely's because their baked goods are of excellent quality. Many Filipinos have said that Mely's baked goods are better than those of Goldilocks, a very well known and popular bakery in Manila and Vancouver. I recommend the ensamada and siopao.
