Here from Dallas Texas looking for something different and we found it. The service was great and the food was better. We both got the Burek and it was delicious. We also tried the apple strudel and a cream horn found them both to be very good. I wish we had room in our luggage for some bread as it all looked and smelled great. On our next trip here we will return for sure.

Very good food, both packaged and fresh. Deli selection limited, but good. Excellent value. They make a pretty good croissant. I still haven’t tried the bread but it looks and smells good!

i love this place! took my coworkers here to introduce them to their first Burek, and it was a hit! such a cute little deli, and the lady working in the front is so sweet! she saw that my friends had never tried Burek before, so she cut up a few little pieces for them to try! so nice! We got a potato one, and a spinach & cheese one, and they were both so delicous! the potato one tastes like a giant perogy. I’ve also had fresh bread & buns from there, and i’ve always been impressed. I have a weird condiment obsession, and this place never fails to have some sort of mustard or pickled stuff that i’ve never tried, as well as tons of different European candies and sweets! definitely a hidden gem on 17th Ave SW!

I really love this bakery! Service is always friendly! This is where I get my breads since it’s near my home and always fresh. They also have tasty pastries and tiny cakes. So delicious! I recommend it to anyone looking for fresh breads! Many assortments. I usually have the sour dough or whole grain. Enjoy!

I was introduced to the Burek from here by a coworker and had added it to thinks to check out on 17th when I’m down there. Sadly I forgot until I was trying to escape the heat and crowds of the year’s lilac festival. This little places has a poor street presence and signage so I would have missed it if I’d never heard of it and wasn’t on foot. It feels like you have to go into a condo complex to get at it almost(weird). Inside I was struck by how much Burek they gave me for a fairly low cost(I forget to be honest) At first I wasn’t sure I could eat a ¼ of the pie they handed me but after tasting it again I made short work of it. I’ve only tried the cottage cheese and feta but it’s to die for. I’d love to try out some more of their offerings next trip. I’m very glad the lilac fest vendors had huge lines and I ended up finding this place’s location as I will make an effort to return again.

Great small bakery. Bread is always fresh and we come here for Burek and Sirnica! The only thing that sucks is our family has moved to the NW and we dont come here on a regular basis anymore but whenever I find myself in the nearby vicinity I make it

So you thought you knew the Red Mile, huh? Between the trendy restaurants and bar line-ups there lives a humble bakery, nestled in the ground level of a strip mall marked only by a plain blue sign with the EU symbol. Upon entering the smell of fresh bread is overwhelming and the glass display chock-full of vibrant mousse desserts. The owner is wonderful and inviting, selection is great and when you buy a loaf they offer to slice it on the spot. Prices are reasonable too, my favourite dark rye is $ 5 for a massive loaf or 2/$ 7.50 on day olds. Besides the oven made fare, they also have a plethora of packaged eastern European goodies including drinks, pickled veggies, candy, jams and pasta. Pretty much everything you can’t find at Edelweiss Imports, these guys will probably have. It’s doesn’t get much better than this for a neighbourhood bakery. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a spinach burek to go eat. And the chocolate croissants, oh yes. I dare you to eat just one!

A tiny bakery with a nice family feel. The owner is a very sweet lady. I go here for great quality bread which costs less than what I pay in the supermarket for homemade bread with natural ingredients. She will even slice your loaf for you. I wish they sold whole wheat pizza dough. I have looked everywhere in Calgary for whole wheat pizza dough and I’m yet to find any, if anyone knows where to get some please message me!

This bakery is small, has parking but has amazing prices for bread and for pastries. The portions are huge here and you aren’t paying more than $ 3 or $ 4 for any of amazing assortments; lemon poppy seed, crème horns, hazelnut pound, apple strudel, apple cheesecake, lemon coconut, baklava triangle, strawberry mouse, apple cheesecake, and rum ball. For loaves of bread, there is onion rye, whole wheat, pumpernickel, light rye, arctic bread, French bread, sourdough, organic bread, and baguettes amongst many others. You have competition though; there was a huge line up when I was there, so thank god they have free parking outside.

One word, burek(specifically, sirnica if you are familiar with Bosnian dishes). Burek, or sirnica, is a filled pastry usually containing beef, cottage cheese, or spinach and cheese. Some variations contain all of the above, some only one, and some have other ingredients. European Bakery & Deli has the cottage cheese & feta variety. Of course, that’s not all they have. They are also a bakery, and sell all kinds of delicious and freshly prepared deserts and breads. In addition to this, they have a limited selection of European foods, chocolates, and drinks. Generally a well rounded small European bakery. But they really excel with the sirnica. They serve it from a pizza warmer that you’ll find at any pizzeria. But make no mistake, it’s not pizza. It’s one of the best European dishes I’ve ever had and they prepare it really well here. You can also follow it up with one of their deserts, all of which taste delicious. Stop by the next time you’re on 17th!
