Bon Ton Bakery - Edmonton

This Bakery has delicious cakes, and even a flourless cake! I did ask if the flourless cake was gluten free, in which the response was "its made with almond flour", so I asked again if it was gluten free; but we were interrupted so I didn't get an answer. We tried the Lemon dome, as well as the Hazelnut Eclair. Very yummy! FIY, its probably best to order for pick up. The store is busy, and they use a numbering/Ticket system which I did not understand how to follow.

Huge variety and very friendly staff! The pastries were tasty, affordable and there’s plenty of options for everyone. I would have liked to see some more savory options other than bread, bagels, and buns though. Will definitely be back!

Definitely one of best bakery in town. Their cakes are astonishing and absolutely delicious in taste. So rich in flavor. As a chocolate lover I totally enjoy their cakes.

Fantastic. We sampled a few different baked items (and need to try more to get a full idea of their strengths and weaknesses). The plain croissant was so damned buttery, you could smell it throughout our kitchen, it was unbelievable. The brisket pizza bun (really just a brisket cheese bun, but whatever) was a really formidable grab-and-go item; one I'd recommend heartily. The third item that uses the same type of dough was the cinnamon ribbon: again, delicate, buttery pastry with a well balanced amount of spice and a reasonable smattering of raisins. We also tried the gingersnap (it wasn't bad, it could maybe use a bit more ginger/spice to bite you on the front end of the tongue), the Mexican chocolate ball (the weakest item we tried- it lacked the flavor of Mexican hot-chocolate and came up short flavor wise in general), and a couple of tarts. The lemon meringue mini tart was well executed, and the crust was first rate and not too thick. The strawberry rhubarb tart wasn't too sweet, was very rhubarb-forward (maybe slightly lacking in strawberry, but that could be a seasonal thing) but suffered from an overbearing amount of crust. Was it bad? No, not at all. Would I get it again? Maybe. One last thing we noticed (and it's not a big fault on their part, some bakeries do this, most don't) is they didn't offer take and bake croissants. It's really nice to pop pre made/rolled croissants into the oven first thing in the morning (as Bon Ton opens at 9) and enjoy a croissant with breakfast/coffee/whatever. Again, not a huge strike against them, most bakeries don't offer this yet. It's definitely worth a visit and a "shotgun" approach to sampling. You'll surely find something you love here, and it's awesome to have an independent bakery reinforce Edmonton's status as a food city.

This is the best bakery in town!  This place is amazing.  Quality is exceptional!  There is always very delicious bread and desserts. And there is always a unique warm and kind atmosphere.  Opening the door Bon Ton Bakery you find yourself in a magical world.  This atmosphere is created by the people who work here. I want to thank all the people who work at Bon Ton Bakery.  And especially I want to thank Gerry Semler for his kindness and attention.

This place is amazing. It was recommended to me by a good friend who tries out lots of different places. She is a trained chef who knows her ish. So i went and tried out a couple of their sweets m & i was completely blown away by the caramel thing (the fancy one not the cupcake). I will definitely go back for the caramel thing (sorry forget what its called), and try something else too. Go here- you will not be disappointed.

Price is decent. Staff is friendly. We tried croissant and cruffin. Both are good quality and yummy. The cruffin top is so crunchy and Moise inside. The raspberry flavoring is perfect. The croissant is massive.

Visited the bakery for first time. It smells so good when enter. I am delighted to try this new place. I ordered wild blue berry danish, mushroom and chicken pizza swirl, christmas cake, panforte and pomegranate tea. I find all the items to the mark. Definitely going back and recommend as well. Waiting to try their pie and other stuff.
