Butcher and the Baker

A great little place I frequent for lunch. It’s small but the food is fresh and delicious. The Mac and Cheese is spicy which makes it extra good and the soup of the day is always a favourite. They make fresh bread for their sandwiches (so good) and the fresh beverages really just top the meal off! The staff are always friendly and the place is clean! There isn’t anywhere to sit so you have to take your food to go but it’s always worth it. Everything is reasonably priced which is what keeps me coming back!

Ive been here a couple times now and have never had anything that wasn’t incredible. My picky daughter loves everything we’ve had!
You will find the most amazing sandwiches and soups, homemade baked goods, fresh pressed juices, and a great mac and cheese.
There’s a daily feature that’s always yummy and its reasonably priced for a lunch combo. Lineups get a little long because it’s lunchtime at bow valley square but it’s worth the wait!
They also do catering. Too bad it’s not to my house!

the best lunch I had all week! I had the jerk chicken sandwich, and it was so good. the superfood salad had the potential to be awesome but it had way too much dressing so I was only able to have a few bites, but next time I’ll know to ask for dressing on the side. service was quick & friendly, and I can’t wait to go back! really cute logo and design, too!

We stopped by for lunch and really had no idea what to expect. We had read about it in Avenue Magazine Calgary. We tried the Jerk Chicken and the special which was shaved Prime Rib. The Jerk Chicken was quite sweet, however the shaved prime rib was so delicious. Both sandwiches were very fresh! I would definitely recommend for a quick lunch on the go, but be aware it is not for the fast dining frugal luncher.

Love the Kale salad and order it pretty regularly, sometimes as a side with the mac and cheese. I was okay with paying there somewhat higher prices but now that they’ve increased their prices I would be hesitant to go back. People have already commented on the high price given the portions and now even their sides are up by 0.75 and the salad up $ 1.

This tiny store is located in Bow Valley, off the second street entrance. I was lucky enough to get there before a huge lunch crowd swarmed behind me. The menu is small but it all looked delicious. I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich, side superfood salad and a small coffee.
For $ 4.00 the salad which lists ingredients like roasted cauliflower, sunflower seeds and baby kale, was a bit sparse. It was a small portion and had more Parmesan cheese than anything. On the positive side, it was fresh.
The size of the sandwich was substantial, the bread was soft, white and melt in your mouth and they stuffed a lot of tender meat inside. My issue was that there was waaaaay too much allspice flavour added and it didn’t taste like jerk chicken at all. Also there was hardly any mango salsa inside, which made the allspice that much more noticeable. Seeing how popular this place is, I’m sure
Butcher and baker will thrive. Despite my mixed feelings about the meal, it’s obvious that it is trying hard to prepare quality food for the downtown crowd, and if I’m in the area again, I will definitely give it another try.

Very fresh and tasty with an emphasis on punchy flavours. While it takes an extra 15 seconds to tie your sandwich up in butcher-​string, this attention to detail seems to extend throughout the food.
Jerk chicken sandwich with slaw was great, although office workers be warned — this is a messy one! Make sure you aren’t eating over your nice dry-​clean only clothes.
Also had a side salad, basically all of the most popular super-​foods thrown together. It worked, actually, and between the two it is a larger-​than-​usual lunch.
Slightly pricier than most downtown food counters, but you’re paying for a bit more attention to detail and higher quality ingredients.
Orders are taken quickly, but be prepared to loiter for a bit during peak times before your food comes out. Go early or late.
