Little Duchess Bake Shop - Ritchie Market

Just moved here from the states and this was a nice surprise just down the alley. Looks like I might have to invest in some bigger pants 🤣

The picture says it all. Tiny but mighty. Flavourful in ways you won’t expect. We drive from YYC to come here and nothing compares. Selection is solid with many modern takes on traditional pastries as well as classics. Outdoor seating is perfect for warm weather days. Highly recommend as it’s worth the 300km drive.

We’ve tried many things from croissants to cookies and beyond. The only way you’ll be disappointed is if you don’t go. Or you go too late in the day and they sell out!

Cute, convenient, and delicious pastries. It's crowded and usually full so hard to find seating.

Elegant, buttery, and everything you’d expect from a true patisserie. The croissants are layered perfection, the tarts are balanced and rich. Space is small but beautifully curated. Pricey, yes, but you’re paying for craftsmanship. Worth the indulgence.

Their apricot and earl grey croissant is amazing. The flavors are subtle but delicious.

I visited this place for a little treat for my kids and myself. The location was very nice, and they did their best with the limited space. The treats were okay, but I’m still very intrigued by the other desserts they had in their cabinet. The customer service was nothing spectacular, but they did their job and gave me the service I expected.

Go weekday afternoons if possible

This Duchess place offers the same type of pastries as the Duchess bakery off 124 St and they share a space with other businesses.
