Bootsma Bakery

Bootsma Bakery is one of the most popular bakeries in the city—and for good reason. Every day they serve up delicious European-style goods. Some fan favourites include their cookies and doughnuts, though if you make a trip, picking up some spudnuts is a must. As their name suggests, these prairie classics are made using potato flour. Though it may sound strange, these flavours come together to form something unforgettable. If they aren’t your cup of tea, ‘donut’ worry, because this bakery’s cookies, cakes, and breads are just as tasty.

The Little Bakehouse

Bonjour and bienvenue! The Little Bakehouse welcomes all Lethbridge residents and visitors to experience the decadent flavours of French baking in their artisanal bakery. When the owners first came to Lethbridge from France, they dreamed of creating a space filled with the flavours and aromas of the country they called home—and we can safely say they succeeded. The Little Bakehouse is the number one place to get authentic French baking, whether it’s a rich pain au chocolat or the perfectly flaky Mille-feuille.

This store has it all: fruit pies, savoury pies, cream pies, and even a selection of fruit crisps and tarts.  The Pie Store has been the go-to location in Lethbridge for everything pie-related for years. That kind of longevity is testament to their scrumptious flavours and mouth-watering appeal. With over 30 pie flavours on offer, you can rest assured that this shop has something for you.

Lakeview Bakery & Deli

If we’re talking about Lethbridge classics, we have to mention the Lakeview Bakery & Deli. This shop first opened its doors in 1968 and has been going strong ever since. They offer a variety of breads, buns, and sweet treats like brownies, cinnamon buns, and cupcakes. As a bonus, the Lakeview Bakery also contains a deli.

Vikicake Bakery

Even as one of the newest bakeries in town, the Vikicake Bakery has already made a splash with its flavourful goods. This Ukrainian-owned bakery serves up a large selection of decadent cakes, cookies, and buns. The owner artfully pairs flavours you may not expect to find together, crafting sweets that can’t be found anywhere else. We recommend trying the blackcurrant and pistachio chocolate cake. It will have you saying “just one more bite” until the whole thing mysteriously disappears!

Each bakery has a treasure trove of sweet and savoury goods to discover, and every bite will unearth new flavours to keep you coming back for more. And the true icing on the cake? That you’re eating great and supporting local at the same time.
