Butter Block Cafe is a true gem for pastry and coffee enthusiasts! From the moment you walk in, the cozy and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. We indulged in their Almond Croissant and Pandan Coconut pastry, and both were absolute perfection. The Almond Croissant was flaky, buttery, and filled with a delicious almond paste that was just the right amount of sweet. The Pandan Coconut pastry was a delightful surprise, with its unique flavor profile and perfectly balanced sweetness.
To accompany our pastries, we tried the tasting flight from Paradigm Spark. Each coffee was meticulously brewed using the pour-over technique. The tasting flight featured 3 coffees - Bohuma, Sezita, and Duvixe. Duvixe was my favourite, with its delightful wine notes. Butter Block Cafe is a must visit for anyone who appreciates high-quality pastries and exceptional coffee. We'll definitely be returning!

Stuffed flavoured croissants are pretty good. Staff can be more friendly though(no smiles).

On the pricey side, but definitely stands out from other regular bakeries out there. We got the half dozen box with 6 assorted pastries, plus 2 free items (the 2 free items we got were a large cookie and a brownie). With these we had a very Merry Christmas morning brunch. :)

My favourite bakery in the city by far. The staff are so nice and take the time to explain the pastries if you are having difficulty deciding. Quality of croissant is unrivaled and the creativity of their flavors is unmatched. A crowd favourite is always the pandan coconut croissant but I think a sleeper hit is the kimchi sausage danish

I’ve lived in Calgary a year and it’s taken me that long to make it to Butter Block. You know that smell when you walk into a bakery? That rich, amazing combination of sugar and chocolate and cinnamon? Then you buy a bunch of stuff and it never tastes as good as it smells? Well, I got home with my selection of goodies and found that the cinnamon bun tasted just like the bakery smelled. So amazingly delicious. I have had plenty of treats, and these ones are top-tier level. And the day-old cookies are basically calorie free because over the course of 24 hours all the calories evaporate. That’s pure science.

Gaining respect in a kitchen is a hard feat but gaining respect in the kitchen as a woman is, unfortunately, something even harder to do. At the young age of 18, Karen Kong had become one of Starbucks' youngest key holders and managers. After achieving that position and feeling like she wanted to expand her knowledge, she decided to go back to school and pursue her career in baking. With the conflict of schedule that comes with the early hours of a coffee shop, Karen needed something that will allow her busy body to be in school in the morning and pay for tuition in the evening. With this passion for cooking and baking in her heart, Butterblock's very first step was taken, unbeknownst to Karen of course.
