Cob’s Bread

Where to go when I’m dying of hunger and don’t want a greasy breakfast sandwich in the area? Cobs bread of course.
I’m always hitting up this location for last minute treats for my staff and yummy treats for tea breaks. I love getting their ham and cheese croissants! Could gobble up two right on the spot. There’s a little something for everyone whether you’re looking for something sweet or savory. As always, love that they have samples to nibble on while you wait your turn. This location appears to be smaller than other ones I’ve been to. Selection is the same though, albeit they have less stuff displayed. Always seems to be lots of stock when I’m in, so never too worried that I won’t find something to bring back to work.
Would love to see a loyalty card for other items other than loaves of bread. I swear I buy enough from them to justify a program! Staring at my bag of scones right now and debating if I should share with my staff… Maybe I won’t this time ;)

I’m outside COBS watching the girl reorganise their bread. I had previously thought their hygiene was ok, but not anymore. In between grabbing loaves with her bare hands she’s scratching her head — really givin’ ‘er like she’s got dandruff or something else that’s worse. That’s in between the nose wipes — not with a tissue.
So there you have it. Dandruff and boogers compliment the delicious bread with a slightly salty flavour and a subtle essence of human.
Can’t wait!

We loved the cinnamon rolls: not too gooey, perfect texture and taste. Scones (cinnamon and chocolate) were excellent. All other items looked great, but must show some constraint. Not much to drink here, so get your coffee at Starbucks (2 doors down from Elbow Dr location) and your eats here.

Has anyone TRIED the sourdough rolls here? To die for and I could have a dinner based on just them. 80 cents each. You can taste the sourdough and to me, that is key. The bun was so fresh and of course was baked today. It held up well after heating in microwave for 20 seconds. With a pat of butter. Yummy — it is the only white bread I will eat.
Staff friendly and there are samples IF you can make it in there early enough.

I enjoy going into Cob’s every know and again and picking up a few different loafs of bread. They do a great job and always have a few unique items that are absolutely delicious!

I got a flyer in my mailbox advertising one free cinnamon bun with the purchase of any «higher level loaf». I’d never been to Cobs before, and I had no idea what a higher level loaf was, but I knew I wanted that free cinnamon bun!
I stopped in at the Stadium Cobs on a Saturday morning, around 9:30 am to claim my free treat. I had no idea this place was so close to my house, it has such a tiny store front and is tucked away in a huge strip mall. In addition to the free cinnamon bun, I also ended up getting a full size Chia loaf, a half size cinnamon raisin loaf, a white chocolate raspberry scone, and a chocolate danish. All for $ 11! I was sure there was a mistake, but no, Cobs bread is no more expensive than grocery store Wonderbread.
The scone and the danish were amazing, and the cinnamon bun was even better than amazing. It looked a bit crusty on the outside, but I heated it in the microwave and it came out all soft and sticky :) The Chia loaf is so tasty, and you can barely even tell it has Chia seeds in it, the texture is fairly smooth. The sales person told me that one slice of the Chia loaf has 100% of your daily Omega 3 requirements. Sadly, I did not get to try the cinnamon raisin bread, but I have a feeling it is also out of this world.
I feel a bit bad for shopping at Cobs (the big-​bad-​franchise), but it’s just so good. Sorry local bakeries :(

Cobs has been my sole inspiration for baking scones because it’s quite a drive from my house. They have the best scones I’ve ever devoured from a bakery in Calgary and that’s all I’ve ever bought from them! I’m sure the rest of their goods are lovely.

Scones: is it pronounced «scawns» or «skownes»? It’s always a big debate whenever I open my mouth about this place.
I can never seem to order anything else here because I am always trying whatever scones they have on hand! Whether it’s cheddar and chives, cranberry and white chocolate, double chocolate, … these are delightful little treats.
One day I will actually try one of their breads…

I went into Cobs Bread for the first time the other day, and now I’m kicking myself for not having gone sooner. From a mile away you can smell the amazing creations that are coming from this place… and it’s even better once you get inside.
There are so many different and delicious bread to choose from I don’t know how anyone ever makes up their mind. They have fresh buns, rye bread, white bread, loaves, baguettes… everything. I almost want to go back just to smell all the fresh baked goodness they have.
They also have many different desserts and other baked goods in the sweeter department. I have yet to try any of the desserts, but they sure looked delicious. This Cobs Bakery is just down the street from me, so I’m sure I’ll be buying something else really soon.
I hope the smell of this bakery never leaves my nose and the flavour of the bread never leaves my tongue. I have to finish this review immediately because I’m going to buy more bread!
