Bon Ton Bakery

Somehow I only just heard about this place a few days ago? No idea how that happened.
Anyways, I went with the intention of getting the reuben sandwich, since that was what my co-​worker had described to me. And OH MY GOODNESS was it a good sandwich! The bread was perfect. The corned beef was perfect. The mustard was out of this world perfect!
But sandwiches aren’t actually what they have lots of. They have a ton of fresh bread, pastries, and jars of sauces, dips, etc. from local venders! Just an amazing stockpile of little kitchen odds and ends and I wanted all of it. Especially some of their refrigerated dips that looked to be made in house?
Can’t wait to go back! I’m already dying to try their sourdough.

Really enjoyed browsing in this bakery; ended up purchasing over $ 100 worth of the yummiest baking ever! Many other shoppers, but when we were finally ready to purchase, we were asked just to holler out «I’m next!» and we were served immediately, even though our number had been called at least a half hour previously! Staff are pleasant and helpful. Three cheers and Merry Christmas to Bonton Bakery! Just go there!

First time at this well known bakery in Edmonton. Can’t believe I have never been here, better late than never I guess. Was impressed with the selection they have. They have an array of cookies, danishes, croissants, breads and cakes. I finally picked out a cheese bun, chocolate croissant, and ginger barley cookie. All tasted delightful. The staff were super friendly and eager to help. Well done Bön Ton!!!

Came here with my fiancé to have a look around as I’ve heard from others that they have expanded and reno-​Ed.
Walked in and at first glance everything looked really good and choices were at an abundance.
Decided to get one of each of the colorful macarons as they «looked good»
Got into the car and decided to try one… it was hard as a rock and almost too cold. Most likely previously frozen.
Will not be coming back to try their other things. $ 1.95 for a rock hard macarons is not for me.
If I want frozen treats I’ll just go to DQ.

my boss would always buy muffins here for team meetings. Now that I drive pass this place everyday I finally got to go in and see it all for myself. I went in the first time around 3 in the afternoon and there wasn’t anything left but some bagels, bread and cookies. I went in just today after the renovations and there was still lots of goodies left. The renos look great and they serve fresh coffee and lattes. It goes by a number system but thankfully it wasn’t crazy when I went in and I was able to get served right away. The only downfall I can see with that is I didn’t have time to look around at everything and the girl seemed a little rushed to get me served and out of there even though there were only a handful of customers at the time. I was able to get 6 of the Morning Glory muffins which are amazing for $ 10. They are like a carrot cake muffin with apple and nuts. Absolutely amazing. Their sugar cookies with cute smiley faces and gingerbread men are amazing and a huge hit with the kids! I honestly love this place so much more than Cobs Bread and would highly recommend it.

Wow amazing bakery my first time:) bought many different fancy pastries my fave was the caramel mascarpone éclair but the others ones just as good. They are going for renovation soon and I was told they will be offering coffee and sandwiches.

I have been to this Bakery few times since my friends want to have Birthday cake and a few sweets from this place. Beside BD cake this bakery caters lots of others sweet s, as for me these sweet are way out of my need: Unhealthy, loaded with refined products…
Service: This is family run reputation for years in the location, if there are sale person I would just passed by the attitude treating customers but not from owner .The tall man I believe who is the BOSS was never friendly in the past but this time was on the extreme rude to us. He had a chin up to the ceiling, his 2 hands leaning heavily on the table next to the cash register, with a stern face called out to me «Next «acting he is the only one in town sale you this cake… We will never be back, there are many others bakeries in this town, T and T has beautiful selection of BD cakes, B Bell bakery is gone but Duchess bake and COBS shops just nearby …

Deeeee-​licious!
I came here on a whim yesterday since I happened to be in the area. The bakery was packed when I arrived around 10:30 am. However, the wait was just enough time for me to browse around the store before making my selection. I chose the chocolate & almond croissants, the cheese buns, the raisin butterfly and the almond croissant with icing sugar. I only tried the almond croissants & raisin butterfly — they were both excellent! The service was quick, friendly & personable.
They sell a variety of other things, some locally sourced, like jams, spreads, salsas, chocolate, marshmallows, and much much more.
I would highly recommend this bakery =)

I tried the Hazelnut Torte and it wasn’t as good as I expected. I have had other tortes from other cafes and this wasn’t a torte in my opinion. It was a cake layered with frosting. It wasn’t even a good cake as the cake felt dry.
As for the macarons, it was a hit and miss. Out of the dozen we bought, the coffee macarons were amazing. However, we also had the hazelnut ones and they were so hard, as if they were frozen.

Good baked goods, but it is a bakery :) Just wish they had way more selection and a little bit lower prices. It’s all around a good bakery.

This is the best bakery in Edmonton, hands down. Everything is fantastic, but I especially like their tarts, pies (best crust you will ever eat!), and their shortbread cookies. Make sure you get there early, by 4pm it’s pretty much cleaned out for the day!

I have never left this bakery disappointed; they carry a variety of in-​store baked goods as well as local goods, which is great to see! There is a variety of breads, jams, jellies, cakes and so much more!
The boyfriend and I dropped in on a Saturday, which by the way seems to be their busiest day, to specifically pick up bread, as well as a little treat for ourselves. I really like that they have a «take a number» system now in place so more order is set as before it was a bit of an unknown as to who was actually next.
I find the staff to be fairly helpful and knowledgeable about what they carry as with suggesting items to pair with other items already purchasing.

Great bakery. Lots of choice and fair prices. They always give my kids a big smile with a free cookie. Service is always exceptionally friendly and competent.

Three words: Flourless chocolate torte. Yes, gluten free.
I was in charge of bringing the cake for my dad’s 65^th birthday and a couple of family members can’t have glutenous foods. But not knowing the city like I used to, and not being all that skilled at gluten free baking, it was a search on my trusty Unilocal app that lead me to my choice!
Looking on Bön Ton’s website, I saw a flourless chocolate torte. I phoned first before making the trek to the west end to ensure they had one. They sure did! It was put aside for me and they even asked if I wanted a message written on top.
A couple of hours later I showed up to collect the torte with Happy Birthday written on a chocolate medallion on top.
Getting the torte was a bit of a wait… This place is buuuussssy! But they’ve implemented a number system to ensure everyone gets served in the order they came in. There’s a display above the door for each clerk to know which number is being served, but another one that’s customer facing could also prove useful.
The flourless chocolate torte was a hit at the party! Especially with my dad being the chocolate lover he is…

Memories of Bön Ton include my dad getting pastries here for an occasional treat and they looked and tasted delicious. Fast forward more than 20 years and I find myself in the bakery on a Saturday morning. It’s a bustle of activity with close to 20 people inside. They have a ticket system which is easy and not chaotic.
While waiting for my number to be called, I wandered the store. There were samples including bread with oils and hummus, and a few different sweet treats to choose from.
It was only a few minutes and my number was called. The line moved quickly with about 4 – 5 people assisting customers. I ordered a few mini cinnamon buns (75 cents each), and a pretzel ($ 1.25), and bought a bag of the 600g granola ($ 10.95). There was more savoury and sweet treats (cakes, and flans if you are looking for dessert for an occasion) but I will save those for my next visit.
It’s wonderful this bakery is still operating and so busy! I can create my own Bön Ton memories now!

Their whole wheat oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are incredible. I find that the rest of the baked goods are hit or miss. Some tend to be overly sweet, but that is a matter of personal taste. The bread, however, is very good. They also have great dips that I usually pick up for a party. The rest of the pre-​packaged items (preserves, crackers etc.) are overpriced compared to other places that also carry them. They have a «take a number» system, so service is very efficient and things are organized.
I have to add that I enjoy the ever-​changing corny tag lines they put up on their billboard. «We are very well bread.»

The main aspect of the Bön Ton Bakery that I appreciate is the obvious freshness of their ingredients. They make great Rugelach and breads, but my main obsession is their flax seed cookies. What is the secret about those things? Both my husband and I have a love for those babies which borders on a fixation.
When it’s busy, parking can sometimes seem like a Sociology experiment and I do wish that they had some breads that where grainier, but it’s a wonderful bakery that I visit whenever I’m in the west end.

This is one of the best and oldest family-​owned bakeries in Edmonton. Established by Eugene Edelman when he came to Canada after the war, many of the recipes are still his traditional old European ones. When Hilton and Michelle Dinner took over a few years ago, they added a whole roster of new, health-​conscious, modern favourites, renovated and became mor environmentally conscious. However many of the old-​style favourites remain. (Except for the cupcakes and kichel, alas). When friends and family come home from out of town, this is a requisite stop. staff are always friendly, organized and efficient. If you want something specific, order it in advance or get there early, especially for Challah on Friday!

I do enjoy this bakery very much. Stopped today for my fav bread (cranberry, raisen nut) and a loaf of the multigrain rye. Both excellent and worth every penny.
As well enjoyed one of those gingersnap cookies mentioned earlier lol The whole wheat and barley cookies are very good as well. not laden with über processed fats and high fructose syrups.
I think Bön Ton is an excellent example of HEALTHY old style baking… natural fats, sugars, etc … not the processed crap, highly refined and pre mixed stuff like most places.
If you are going to indulge, do so with quality ingredients in a healthy portion. I do not find the baking too sweet, one of the reasons I enjoy it.
As well, there is a large selection of specialty items… gluten free etc.
Only thing I dont buy at Bön Ton are many of the specialty honey, preserves, etc. They are very high priced here… most can be purchased at the Italian Center on 51ave for much better prices… but… it really is a wonderful bakery and I def reommend it!

Bön Ton Bakery is one of Edmonton’s oldest and most established bakeries. It sells a variety of breads, cookies, cakes, pastries, and other baked goods with distinctive flavours and textures. Some of the classic items here include the danishes, which come in a variety of flavours and have a buttery, flaky dough to them. Other old favourites include the large, soft flax cookies (a meal in themselves), ginger bread, rum cake (with a thick, pink, rum-​flavoured coating), and sugar cookies with happ faces (a childhood staple of mine).
In recent years, Bön Ton has become more conscious of health and the environment. The store is powered using natural energy, and the selection of breads include numerous healthy options using grains and omegas. Bön Ton is one of the few places in Edmonton where you can get a decent challah, which is a traditional Jewish egg loaf.
Bön Ton also has a few coolers full of spreads and light foods, many of which are locally made.
