Angel's Bakeshop Ltd

Searching for something sweet? Savoury? Sweetheart Bakery’s Hong Kong style baked goods might be just what you need to curb those cravings.

Handy Bakery

8660 118 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5B 0S8

Take out or eat in at the part-bakeshop, part-café that is Handy Bakery. Salty and sweet, they offer classic Portuguese desserts (you’ve got to try their famed custard tarts), as well as a variety of cold cuts and cheeses. And, if you’re feeling inspired, there’s a grocery section where you can browse for cooking items to try your hand at Portuguese cooking.

Dutch Delicious

13232 118 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5L 4N4

A little slice of Holland, Dutch Delicious Bakery is a combination European bakeshop, delicatessen and grocery store. They provide authentic Dutch desserts like almond torte, mocha cake squares and mergpijpen, as well as fresh-baked bread and a variety of imported European food items for those hankering for a taste of the old country.

B & A Bakery

12908 82 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5E 2T2

A German-style bakeshop, B & A Bakery is the place to be if you’re craving soft pretzels, Black Forest cake, strudel or a loaf of good old-fashioned rye bread. All of their breads are mixed, kneaded and shaped by hand, and contain no preservatives. In fact, all products are made daily with fresh ingredients so you know exactly what’s in each bite.

If you’re looking for a casual spot to enjoy a social libation or a cozy space to recharge with caffeine, look no further. These cafés are one-stop shops, because you should never have to choose between coffee and cocktails. I think we can all drink to that!
Who says you need a mate to go out for a meal? If you’ve ever had the hankering to take yourself out for breakfast, lunch or dinner, worry not! Remember: Being alone is not the same as being lonely. So, grab a good book, pop open your laptop or get set to people watch at these spots where supping solo won’t look weird.
