staff was friendly and the atmosphere's nice, but the chocolate croissant I received was seriously lacking in chocolate. Ideally, you should get chocolate in every bite- 2/3rds of it was just somewhat salty croissant. Which admittedly did go very well with the bites that had chocolate, but on their own, it's just a letdown.

First time coming in here ,
We stayed in and ordered an iced matcha , blue lemonade (tastes exactly like normal lemonade), black sesame croissant and lemon loaf.

The croissant was tasty and had a decent amount of sesame cream filling. The lemon loaf was soft and moist.

We had ordered an extra pastry to go but then thought it was forgotten when I ordered so I went to order again later , but when I checked the amount paid it seems that they did charge for it - when we went to the counter to ask they just said no we didn’t and didn’t search up or check for a receipt.

From their humble beginnings, every time I come here I am impressed greatly with their ability to connect taste, smell, texture and personality! This is by far one of Calgary’s most hidden treasures that must be discovered

In August 2025, I decided to go on a bakery discovery. There were so many bakeries I hadn't tried, let alone heard of. Butter Block was on the list and one of the first places I tried. OMG. My wife had been searching for a good cheese danish pastry for a very long time and well, we finally found it - the mixed berry cheesecake danish. I also tried the chocolate banana bread pudding. Yum. The baker said the cheesecake danish is going away for a while for new seasonal treats. I hope it comes back soon. Meanwhile, time to try the cinnamon buns. What a find!

We need to nominate this bakery for noble peace prize… the Pandan Cococnut Bread Pudding transcends beauty, texture , taste … not too sweet , not too dry, not too creamy. Only available on weekends, the beautiful humans at the Butter Block have created a new purpose for life! Thank you 🙏

I love trying the bestsellers from bakeries every now n then… I tried their most loved sesame croissant. Tbh i was expecting a bit more after reading so many good reviews. The only thing that didn’t meet y expectations was the flakiness of the croissant, mine was a bit chewy but tasted good!

But im looking forward to try tha pandan croissant.

Amazing pastries and coffee. A very consistent bakery with a warm and cozy feel tucked away in the Devenish Building on 17th Ave. The staff are truly amazing and go above and beyond to make your experience really exceptional. The pastel de nata’s are amazing and the flat whites are delicious and the perfect size.

Wonderful bakery & coffee shop!
I absolutely loved this place. The coffee was rich and smooth, and their pastries were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, with a lovely interior and relaxing music.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. It’s a perfect spot for breakfast, a quick coffee break, or even to get some work done.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
