The Best Desserts in Calgary
Calgary is known for so many things, but others might not be so apparent such as the best desserts in Calgary.
I am willing to bet that I love dessert more than most people, so this article is going to take that well-kept secret and blow it out of the water!
Without Papers Pizza
Located in the beautiful and historic Inglewood, Without Papers Pizza is the host of an exceptional dessert pizza made with Ricotta Cheese, wine poached pears, Nutella and sprinkled with icing sugar.
This dessert pizza is the perfect addition to any meal! Satisfying yet still light to the stomach, you leave not feeling weighed down but with a genuine smile on your face from a satisfying experience!
Manuel Latruwe Patisserie and Bakery
Looking for the perfect Napoleon? Perhaps an exotic cake? Then this is your place!! With the commitment to quality and the finest ingredients, Manuel Latruwe leaves you speechless and mouth-watering.
When you enter you almost feel as if you were transported to Europe, with the elegance in the design of the pastries and fresh scent of baking, you know you are receiving pure quality, something you can’t find just anywhere.

Laurier Lounge
Chocolate Fondue, need I say more? Callebaut chocolate melted to perfection in a fondue setting, you are presented with seasonal fresh fruit and moist banana bread to dip in the perfect chocolate concoction.
Not only is it interactive, it is beyond delicious. A must try if you haven’t yet!!

The Embarcardero
Variety is one word to describe the dessert menu here at The Embarcardero, (named after Sanfransico’s water front district). With something for everyone the atmosphere and service leaves you with a smile.
From Chocolate Bundt cake with raspberry drizzle and ice cream to Bumbleberry pie or Tiramisu you may just want to stop for dessert and nothing more. Close to the Saddledome and easy access from either quadrant of the city, Embarcardero leaves a lasting impression.

The Coup
Lactose intolerant, but love ice-cream? Vegan lover? Then the coup has the menu of your dreams!
For the girl or guy who loves a sundae but can’t stomach the ice cream, the tofulatti sundae is AMAZING, and the ginger snap sundae with coconut gelato is life changing. The dessert menu is available on either side of this consistently busy restaurant! So stop in and get your fix.

Purple Perk Café
This one stop coffee shop located in the always beautiful mission neighbourhood has a large variety of treats! My personal recommendation would be the ginger cookie sandwich; two large moist gingersnap cookies embody a delicious cream cheese filling.
Don’t take my word for it though, it is a must check out dessert stop as well as an excellent coffee shop!
