Glamorgan Bakery

I have been in to check out this place pre-​Christmas and just yesterday — needed items for upcoming parties. While I did not purchase anything I can not comment on the ‘taste’. However, I can comment on the ‘appeal’ of their baked goods. I found the selection lacking in appeal of their products. The product looks sloppy and lacking in creativity. I’ve been to other bakeries in the city to find enticingly wonderful offerings.
I would not go here to purchase something for a dinner party, or anytime I want to ‘impress’ etc., Perhaps an ‘everyday’ thing as their prices are quite reasonable it seems — as the taste must be good considering all the 5 stars for this place=)

Best bakery in Calgary by FAR! Everything is delicious.

I have been in here many times and ordered Cake as well; what I can say is that Cakes are not their greatest thing but their Shortbread cookies are amazing; they have lots of different shortbread cookies; price is also really good. I know they have cheese buns, bread, cake loafs, etc. but never tried.

excellent bakery. Large selection of breads/​sweets. the cheese buns are what i went for, and they are quite good.

Treat yo self to the cheese buns. Best buns in the city!

I ordered a Black Forest Cake from Glamorgan Bakery for my wife’s birthday. When I arrived to pick it up they informed me that they keep them in the freezer and that I should leave it out for a few hours to thaw before serving. I was very concerned that the process of freezing and thawing would result in an unappealing taste and texture. Boy was I wrong; my wife said it was the best Black Forest cake she has ever had! I was also impressed with the pleasant and efficient service that the staff provided to the customers. I will definitely be returning.

Place is excellent. Probably the best small bakery in the city. If you want artisan bread… There are slightly better places. And there are better cupcake places too… But this place has it all in one place.
And the cinnamon bread. Seriously. Fantastic.

Quality is not what it previously was. Had some butter-​tarts that where over baked — for the price I don’t feel they are trying very hard.

Hmmm the cheese buns are to die for!!!
They are the best I have eaten.
At work, someone brought in cheese buns and the fruit bars. Both were sooo good that they quickly became the ‘special treat’ on a hard day that would cheer everyone up! (We are such emotional eaters haha: P).
Seriously… The cheese buns are sooooo soft, buttery, and cheesy… With all those nooks and crannies filled with delicious melted cheesy goodness… Drooool.

As soon as you walk in you’ll smell the goodness. I’ve heard they have the best cheese buns in the city and I have to agree. They also sell the cheese buns in a bake at home version.

I don’t care where you live in Calgary you need to try these chese buns. If you have to drive for 3 hours to get some of these chewy cheesy masterpieces home to your family, so be it. Sacrifices must be made.
I’ve lived in the area for many years. I recommend the bakery to everyone I know. Family run, local, the fresh pasteries, breads, cakes and cookies are second to none.

Two foods to describe how great they are CHEESE BUNS!!! So yummy! I think most people could eat an entire bag of them in their own. Wherever you live, it’s worth the drive. Don’t get me wrong though, they have a lot of other great things to like their chocolate cake.

Holy cheese buns! The Florentine cookies are pretty outta this world too! So happy someone recommended this place to me. I’ll drive there from the SE anytime. So so good.

They get 5 stars for their cheese buns!!! I would cross the border and fly to Calgary just to buy these cheese buns!!! I dream about their cheese buns.

Okay, so the cheese buns are good. And by good I mean I would push you down and snatch the last bag if I had to and not even bat an eyelash. But the Glamorgan Bakery is more than their buns, people! Stop being so linear in your thinking!
They have cakes, cookies, bread, eclairs, cupcakes, tarts — oh my! I don’t know if they are all as good as the cheese buns as I haven’t eaten my way through ever category yet but so far so good. I recently picked up some eclairs for a Valentine’s treat for the man. Eclairs can be hit and miss based on the filling and the chocolate used and they were definitely a hit! No oily fake cream filling here! Yum.
What I like best though about the bakery is that it is run by regular, real people. Its isn’t pretentious, it isn’t overly merchandised with sleek looking designer shelves. Its like the old school bakeries you’d find in any small town, where you know them by name and they always greet you with a smile. The prices are great too, especially given the quality.
It can seem a little tricky when you come in to know where to order or get in line but everyone there is so happy (customers included) it doesn’t get the crazy chaotic feel.
Unless of course they ever ran out of cheese buns.

A bright spot in an otherwise dying market segment: locally owned neighborhood bake shops. I like that the items are all slightly and uniquely irregularly shaped, that way I can pretend I made them myself! A standard assortment of cookies, squares, rolls and breads are available, with fast and friendly service. Besides much deserved praise for the cheese buns, it is worth noting that every couple weeks they make hard to find specialty items such as Dutch sugar bread (which my Dutch acquaintances rave about).

Crikey. I’ve been to quite a few bakeries in this side of the world. Let me tell you, so many bakeries in Canada churn out dull and literally tasteless goods compared to the bakeries back home (And us Brits are meant to be the ones with the bland food!)
Thank goodness Glamorgan Bakery breaks the trend!
I honestly thought the hype about the cheese buns was just chatter, but oh. my. goodness. They are fantastic! I’ll chime in with the others and say you have to try a pack of these! (I’ll freely admit that a bag of these buns DO NOT last more than an hour in my household. Good thing I live so darn close then!)
Of course I’ve tried a few other of their products, but the cheese buns just stand way out in front!
Kudos to the owners for raising the bar higher!
(Now where is my credit card. I’m craving some cheese related baked goods now…)

Hi Unilocalers!
Glamorgan Bakery has a large variety of cookies, buns, breads and everything in between. All the pastries look very tempting, for years it was the delicious shortbread dipped in dark chocolate that kept me coming back… The con: the place is a oven, they really need to invest in a air condition system, seriously!
Sadly sometime in January I was diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease which was devastating because I LOVE Wheat products, life without cheese buns, pasta and cookies just wasn’t going to work. So I approached the bakery on a slow time, to see if they’d accommodation GF pastries in their bakery or by special request?!
To my Shock they informed me 100% of all their goods have Gluten and the management was not about to change their ways. I might add the lady behind the counter was in a tank-​top and short-​shorts (during December), she left me feeling like I was a nusense.

I love this place. I really do. The cheese and bacon buns are simply one of those things that I wouldn’t mind being buried to death in (ok, I know, macabre thought). Sooo freakin’ rich, cheesy and salt lovin’ goodness, I purposely restrict myself from these except on special weekends when I need the carbs and yummy goodness such as during my dragon boat festivals.
Of everything else, in all honesty, I wish I can tell you, which is why I’m giving a 4 instead of 5 stars. The simple truth is that there are so many things to simply worship in a good ol’ fashioned bakery way (nothing fru fru, nothing gourmet, just plain ol’ breads of all sorts, cookies, simple cakes and of course the freakin’ awesome cheese buns or the even better cheese and bacon buns.
Now I’ve read a few comments about how they don’t offer anything Gluten free, but then at least they’re honest about it. With a product selection as it is, and the fact that to ensure a gluten free area would mean a heck of a lot of work to ensure a safe zone unadulterated by normal flour, I’m really not too surprised. Sorry guys if you are hoping for a Glamorgan gluten free line, but Lakeside Bakery near North Glenmore park does offer all that and more!
Damn. Now I’m craving these things… and the next dragon boat fest for me is several weeks away. I need an excuse!!!

How did I not know? How, Unilocalers, how? I had never heard boo about Glamorgan cheese buns. Nothing. Then I moved into a rental down the street. The owner mentioned that we should try the cheese buns. I though «Meh…how good can they be?» My son loves Co-​op cheese buns. I’m sure they’re just as good, right? WRONG.
Glamorgan cheese buns are phenomenal… and magical. You buy a whole bag & they disappear like smoke. It’s an amazing trick… you should see for yourself.
