Bought a box of pastries. Out of 6, only 2 were fresh. Very embarrassing to take stale cakes to a gathering. Stick to the most popular items, as they have higher turn over. The tarts are phenomenal. Avoid the cakes and cream horns. Good place to get Portuguese cheese.

Staff wasn't overly friendly, but both the chocolate cake and cheesecake slices were good and very inexpensive!

I ordered some pastries with the The Bread Truck delivery. Everything was delicious! Delivery is made in the morning which I appreciate, and the prices are fair. Definitely will order again!

We have been ordering from Popular Bakery since April and nothing lights up my kids face as when I shout "breads here!" I've gifted some of the package deals and my friends commented that it was the best gift ever! Thanks for being so awesome!

Popular Bakery on 118Ave/93St., Edmonton, is a very informal place.
Good coffee, baked goods, great
Sandwiches. Ambience is totally
Informal, and loud talking between
Tables( often not in English) is common.
Prices are competitive, various important
Groceries originating in Portugal are
Available, nice selection of Sardines, together with locally baked breads, buns
Etc. Service is reasonable, first come
First serve, no discrimination. Altogether
4 stars if you don't care about informal
Atmosphere.

Great service... great baked goods! I was a little annoyed with the attitude from the Elderly people as they refuse to keep their distance.

I ordered through the get bread dot ca website and foolishly slept through my delivery time! But thankfully the man delivering the bread graciously went out of his way to deliver my bread to me. I am so thankful, I enjoyed my coffee with a delicious danish and I have 3 gorgeous loaves of bread. I love the Portuguese egg tarts the most. Thank you so much!

Best Croissants going, bread very tasty as well as Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns and Portuguese Buns. Will have to visit when open again but in the meantime the Bread Truck is great!

Popular Bakery has it's name cut out for it, on the corner with it's big bold black sign with 3 different names making it super confusing for any newbies out here. I didn't quite know what to expect walking in, if it was more of a takeout bakery style or a sit down and enjoy sandwich and chicken eatery? Well, we got to try it out and 100% more of a take out shop than anything else.

Similar setup to Handy with breads and desserts displayed on the center glass counter display with a few shelves on the side acting as a mini market, the backboard had a few food food items but nothing

I am shocked as to how I was treated yesterday when I went there yesterday. I was greeted by a staff member who addressed me with "Are you a clown, I said no. She insisted that I I must be.. I ordered a BLT and a latte, with the another staff member be for she gets into this. I asked to pay for the order. I proceeded to use my VISA card when I… swiped it it came back declined, I tried it twice. I canceled my order. Then I left. I called Visa, they told me that no transaction was received or declined. I was unable to find out why. I think that it was the staff or management denying me service

Awesome Portuguese bakery with Portuguese tarts, other sweets, piri piri chicken and a small selection of European dry goods as well as deli meats. The coffee is quite good here as are their baked goods. Most of all I love their keeping inline with Portuguese culture by maintaining a European tradition complete with outside wall art, cheap espressos, great pastries. Definitely a must visit especially when their tarts and chicken are fresh and not sold out.

I have never had any of their sandwiches or eaten in the restaurant but their bakery section is great. We are great fans of the custard tarts, cookies and cheese cakes. I also really enjoy their pumpernickel and rye breads. They are always so fresh and delicious! Yum. I have also picked up their sausage rolls a number of times for dinner. Unlike many other places, they aren't spicy so my kids will eat them. A couple of years ago the service wasn't as friendly but in the last year or two, it has improved significantly. My kids and I often stop off to pick up a cookie each, to walk home

I never really thought there were any Portuguese restaurants or eateries in Edmonton until I wandered down Alberta Ave one day and saw 3. Popular Bakery, though its name doesn't imply this, is a little Portuguese Cafe.

I should disclaim that I am not Portuguese and nor have I ever been to Portugal (although it's definitely a country I want to visit). In short, I'm not an expert in Portuguese food, but I've eaten at Portuguese restaurants in other cities I've eaten in Portuguese restaurants and always enjoyed getting Portuguese chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to see

So this morning I decided I would try something local other than my usual Tim Hortons because I had extra time. I walked into this place and the two people behind the till were talking with each other in another language - no hello, good morning, nothing. I proceeded to stand in front of the counter for an additional few minutes, while they continued to try and sort out money, at which point I gave up. This place might have good food/coffee but I don't know because I couldn't even order! The customer service was non-existent :(

On my way home at lunchtime sometimes brings me to new places. In Toronto, I lived a few years in Little Portugal and often visited Portuguese bakeries and churrascos. So driving along Alberta Ave, I knew what kind of place I wanted to stop at. The sign outside Popular Bakery advertised whole chickens, so I hoped they were a lunch place as well.

Turns out that this is not only a bakery and cafe, but also a small grocery store too. I perused the shelves, but nothing caught my eye today.

For food, I ordered spicy chicken, with rice and salad and got a custard tart for dessert. They also do custom

Popular Bakery is a crowded neighbourhood hangout, with long lines, but swift service. The atmosphere comes from the joyous laughter of the regulars who hang out there, in addition to the friendly staff. Large windows and a corner location make it very well lit.

And everything I purchased looked beautiful and tasted great. This included:
1) The oft-mentioned ciabatta buns - large, crusty, and soft on the inside. Yum!
2) Portuguese Custard tarts - the filling was actually more custardy than I'm used to, but the crusts were as flaky and tender as I'm used to.
3) Olive and Garlic Loaf

I'm surprised by the number of interesting businesses that dot the Alberta Avenue neighborhood. Popular bakery is exactly one of those. Old school, been there, been renovated etc., this bakery carries the charm of an old neighborhood like none other.

They're a portuguese bakery and cafe, with reasonable amount of seating space and big glass windows that makes this place inviting and worth it. The coffee is nothing great, I'll be honest, but then again if you want coffee that you're going to drink in Portugal, you better expect it not to be Italian. What I would highly

Popular Bakery is many things - including living up to its name. It is a bakery, grocery store, sandwich shop, cafe, and hang out, all in one. Located on Alberta Avenue, Popular Bakery fits well into the multicultural atmosphere of the area as a Portuguese bakery and restaurant. One of the few places where one can sit with a cup of coffee and enjoy conversation with friends (except when community coffeehouse The Carrot is open), Portuguese Bakery sells fresh baked goods, sandwiches made to order, and a few hot entree items such as Portuguese flame-grilled chicken and pork. A cooler contains a
