Duchess Bake Shop

Oh Duchess, I’m like a kid in a candy store every time I stop by. I basically black out, and spend way too much because it’s so hard not to get one of almost everything. The macarons are the best! And I’m so happy they brought back their quiche! We have the Duchess cook book(s), but it one of those things where it’s duplicated but never replicated. Decor and ambience is great. It’s like a little Parisian escape in the heart of Edmonton.

At some point the Duchess was rated in the top 100 bakeries in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. With every bite you can tell how meticulously handcrafted everything is, from the quality of ingredients to the presentation. They blow me away with their new creations (like a banana cream salted caramel chocolate pie that I want to be served on my deathbed) to their tried and true classics ( the sour cherry pie is a must have). As someone who has travelled around Paris eating every macaron in sight, the macaroons from the duchess are second best I’ve ever had, losing only to l’adurée, the original creator of macaroons. The coffee and tea here is also not to be missed, as well as the homemade soups. Bon appétit!

A good girlfriend recommended this place, and I'm so glad she did! O M G, my mom said the macarons were better than the ones she had in France. I've had some great macarons in my life and I've had some really bad macarons...these were outstanding. And gluten free #blessed. Don't underestimate the vanilla! Soooo good. I can't wait to go back.

Visit: August 2024 Duchess is a classic and never disappoints. The macaron selection is unique and extensive, and the quality is always very high. I always love coming here when I can, and taking people here when possible! Lots of desserts and pastries, so there's something for everyone. The interior is also very elegant, and the staff is always nice and patient

Amazing is all I can think of. Food and service both. Ordered grapefruit lavender tart It was $12 and seemed a little high priced but it was so good that we ended up getting one more. Their chocolate chip cookie is absolutely delicious and so is the butter tart. I know when my coffee is not good and I must say their latte was awesome. Very happy

First time in and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff was friendly and pivoting and told us about their recommendations and history of some of the food stuff. The croissant sandwich was filling and super fresh tasting. That tomato, tho so so good. We were also offered two free macarons since they noticed it was our first time! Very sweet of them.

I recently bought the Duke Cake (Large) from Duchess Bake Shop for my wife's birthday, and it was an absolute hit! The cake was a stunning masterpiece, beautifully decorated, and full of rich flavors. The combination of chocolate mousse, almond sponge, and salted caramel was simply divine and left everyone wanting more. This was my second experience with Duchess Bake Shop, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring that everything was perfect for our celebration. Duchess Bake Shop is, without a doubt, my favorite spot for cakes. The quality and attention to detail are unmatched, making it the perfect place to find a special treat for any occasion. Highly recommend!

Wonderful as always. Nothing beats the Duchess. The quiche was delicious, and the dark chocolate and cherry scone was to die for! I took off one star for the service a few days ago because when we asked the server about our tea, she curtly motioned to the coffee bar which caused some confusion. We also did not get spoons or sugar for our tea. Other than that the service was great, and the woman serving our tea accommodated our large spread by moving a second table for us. Went again for a scone and everything was lovely!
