"After completing some recent patio renovations, Village Ice Cream in Victoria Park has a new extended patio that is perfect for some late-night ice cream runs with your friends.

"For a scoop or three of hand-made, small-batch, creamy goodness, stop by one of Village Ice Cream’s three Calgary locations. You’ll be sure to find something you love in their artisanal twists on classic ice cream flavours, from Guide’s Mint to Melted Chocolate. (Psst—this is what your favourite ice cream flavour says about you!)"

"True Villagers know, Village Ice Cream is a magical place where everything is amazing. They take pride in flavors local competitors don’t have on the menu and there’s something for every sweet tooth. Enjoy toasted coconut, huckleberry, melted chocolate, the signature Village Vanilla Bean, and more."

"Alforno was born in the basement of a restaurant to supply Teatro Group with freshly baked bread from burger buns to baguettes. Once the operators landed a cozy coffee shop and bakery, they expanded offerings to include pastries such as matcha and white chocolate mousse entremets, handcrafted chocolate bonbons, and the famous tiramisu, a nod to their Italian heritage and the Berloni family recipe. If savoury is more your forte, the pasta dishes and oven-baked pizzas are to die for."

"Situated in the heart of Eau Claire, Alforno Bakery & Cafe is one of the best places to eat in Calgary for freshly baked goods while having a nice cup of coffee. This hybrid cafe, bakery and restaurant offers freshly baked, house-made pastries & bread alongside a sustainable coffee programme. Alforno Bakery & Cafe is a perfect meeting spot as it has all kinds of seating from the restaurant dining, to cafe high chairs to a bar area, and a big outdoor patio seating."

"Much more than a coffee shop, Alforno offers plenty to eat, but it’s also a great place to just hang out and have a hot drink. The bright and spacious café serves a full range of espresso drinks (plus drip coffee) and, in addition to more substantial pizzas and pastas, plenty of snacks and light bites."

"With both his original patisserie and the Berlingo confectionary shop next door, Yann Blanchard has become one of Calgary’s true dessert masters.

Sidewalk Citizen still sells those glorious loaves, but you can now also pop into the Simmons location for a full lunch, with flavours inspired by Fried’s native Israel."

This cake shop creates 3D cakes, so you can order cakes shaped like bags, airplanes, animals, musical instruments, and just about anything you can think and dream of.
