Bolo Cakery

One of the best bakeries in the city owned by an amazing lady who is charismatic and passionate about the wonderful products she creates. The cookies are delicious, the cakes are picturesque and I personally have a carrot cake erm...well...habit. It's just great okay? Even my cat gets upset when I try and take the Bolo cake jar from her. You need to try it out for yourself :

Amazing cake. It is very unique in its flavour and texture unlike most generic cake. The cake is dense and isn't too sweet yet flavourful. The icing is a perfect consistency/viscosity without a sweetness that isn't too overbearing to the cake ratio. Ordered the London fog cake and in the center was ozing some delicious Earl Grey salted caramel which was also just enough to balance out each layer. The cake was beautifully made and worth a try or two, or three....

Drove by this plaza a lot and realized there was a highly rated bakery so when I needed something sweet I went by for a visit. The birthday cake/funfetti cookies were so soft and moist as were the triple chocolate cookies. We had some cold cinnamon buns to take home with warming instructions that melted in your mouth. Will definitely be returning customers.

Lisa was so accommodating. Super friendly and personable. She loves what she does and it shows in her cakes. Delicious butter cream icing on a colour funfetti cake. Perfect for our little one's second birthday. Don't forget a birthday cake cookie for the ride home.

I was trying to find something else when I ended up here. Staff member patiently and kindly gave me directions and suggestions to find what I wanted. Ended up buying a cake, since I was there, and it was the best choice I've ever made. The cake was an experience. I highly recommend rushing over and getting one for yourself.

We had the afar Tuesday cookies. They have chocolate chips, oats, pretzels, toffee and I think potato chips too. They were good but not amazing. I think maybe more salt or perhaps more toffee would make them a 5-star cookie. I’m picky about cookies, though. They taste good with coffee. They were very good cookies and the service was lovely. I would love to try one of their cakes but they no longer have cinnamon buns :

So recently I was looking for a birthday cake with caramel and chocolate in it favs of a friend and lo and behold, saw Bolo Cakery near the top of my list. The website listed a salted caramel and chocolate cake as a popular item...perfect for what I was looking for! We popped in around at around 1:30 pm and was very nervous to see that there were only a few cakes left in the coolers. The owner, Lisa, came out from the back and instantly put me and my partner right at ease, and ended up having a great little chat. She was super friendly and you could tell this was where she was meant to be. I also knew she if she put her personality into her craft, the cake I was looking for would be fabulous Luckily there was a few Bolo "babies" on hand 4" round but at least 6" tall so we chose one and spirited it away as fast as we could. It looked so good my partner who is lactose intolerant had to have a great Americano expresso because he was too sad that he wouldn't be able to get any . With a few wise parting words from Lisa about not putting it in the fridge as we were having it that evening to let the caramel inside to be ooey and gooey for the cake to be super moist, we surprised the birthday boy and dug right in. It was hands down the best I'd ever had did I mention caramel is one of my favorites too??. Oh and one of Lisa's comments was that the cake should be at the right temp so that you could spread the buttercream frosting on toast. It was so delicious not too sweet, utterly sinful, I may have to take her up on that suggestion the next time. My birthday is coming up in a few months. Guess what I will be asking for? Try Bolo...you won't regret it!!

I saw all the 5* reviews online and they didn’t seem to be paid for, like some businesses do, so I decided to buy a cake there for my mom’s 95th birthday. Lisa recommended the lemon cake, so I packed it up the way she told me to and delivered it in person to my mom in Edmonton. Long story short, the cake was delicious! I liked that it had substance and that the filling was flavourful. Every once in a while we got a lovely burst of lemon, so delicious. My mom and the rest of the gang loved the cake and I will definitely be back for more!

Thanks Bolo for providing us with your famous Fat Tuesday cookies for our board meeting during the Calgary Stampede! Our guests from across North America loved them and even took some to go! Not only do you make the BEST cakes and cinnamon buns, but cookies too! Another great event with goodies from Bolo Cakery!

This is a little slice of happiness. After a rough work week came in to get something for a dinner party and oh boy did they deliver. Now know where to find happiness in a box! The team they are caring and didn't try to rush me at all as I tried to restrain myself from jumping over the counter to find out things! Thanks for putting up with me and thank you for providing some treats for this big kid!
