The Best Macron in the city! This place is a institution.

Still the best almond croissants in town after all these years.
For about $6, the almond croissants are very good value.
The other pastries were not bad.
Highly recommend.

Great Almond Croissant! Not too sweet, flakey, and subtle

The bread and cakes here are of excellent quality and taste amazing. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Calgary. Although the refrigerator at our accommodation was small and not ideal for storing cakes, they still stayed fresh, kept their flavor, and held their shape perfectly. As for the bread, even though the brioche became slightly damp on the bottom while we stored it in a cooler, it turned out crispy and golden when toasted, and we truly enjoyed it. The croissant was also delicious, and next time I visit, I plan to try all the varieties available.

My first visit to the bakery this weekend and every selection was decadent! Macarons for a summer party. You can taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. Thank you for your craftsmanship. We’ll be back 👏🏼

Your search for the best almond croissant in Calgary stops here. I have been a client of Yann’s since 2010, and in all that time - their quality has never wavered. And I can say definitively that Yann’s makes the best almond croissant I’ve ever had (and oh boyyy have I searched haha). Let me tell you why: - Their croissant is perfectly flaky, but never dry - It‘s sweet but not overbearing, and the almond flavour is well-balanced - It’s crunchy on the top but never burnt (like another French bakery I tried)
And here’s the most appreciated difference from all the other bakeries I’ve tried: the texture of their croissant is mildly chewy, which provides so much more depth than just being “flaky”.
Bring one of their cakes to your next dinner party and get ready to be showered with compliments!

Update: Changing from 5 to 3 as the last few visits have not been up to par. They have redesigned a lot of the cakes to just have a chocolate lining. This takes away from the delicacy the previous designed cakes had. They also took away the lady fingers from the tiramisu cake. Bummer as now I have to look for a new place for cakes in town. ————
The easiest 5/5 I have given. Still my favourite place in town for cakes! Yann Haute always delivers. I have had it many times and every time it is good. It is always consistent and high quality! It is the best patisserie in all of Calgary in my opinion.
The mille feuille and red berry glee are my top pick. The proportion and flavouring of the red berry glee is just perfect. It balances the tartness of cherry, strawberry & raspberry with a sweet cake base perfectly. I do not like tart desserts usually but this has become my recommended cake to order at Yann! The mille feuille you can just tell they use quality vanilla bean cream. It does not taste over filling nor heavy. The carmelized puff pastry in between is done just right too.
Tiramisu is also great but it is more common cake. The lady finger texture stood out to me for this one and sets this one apart from others. The Paris-Calgary is also another good cake but I find the texture a bit too crunchy for me - only personal preference. The exotic delight is my least favourite simply because the mango is too sour and does not taste like mango at all. This cake tastes more like a lemon coconut cake.
I find their pricing very reasonable too for their quality cakes. Please don't change your pricing as I want to keep recommending Yann to everyone!
Their cakes also come in beautiful premium packaging. It is always a delight to unwrap a Yann cake! Keep up the great work :) Can't wait to try new creations!

The Royale cake is quite frankly the best cake in the world. It’s like a Ferroro Rocher but better? Can’t imagine anything tasting superior to this - it’s been our go-to cake for occasions for the last 7 years.

They have the best macarons in the city, always fresh and full of flavour. Their pastries and cakes are just as good. The service is friendly and reliable every time we visit. We always look forward to coming back and highly recommend this place if you’re craving great desserts.

All their products are really so so good. Their macaroons have amazing flavors which are all worth trying, the best macaroons in Calgary and maybe in Canada too! Looks like I’ve been in France with their pastries Awesome service as well 😊
Best French pastry in Calgary!

Just trust me and go see for yourself ;)
There are parking lots in the backyard.
