Tasse Bakery & Sweets
The northeast's Arabic patisserie, on 5 Ave NE - knafeh, baklava, maamoul and the cakes people order for Eid and birthdays. Reopened after a full renovation that regulars say improved both the shop and the product, and marked fully halal on the community Halal Map YYC. What to order Knafeh first - they have catered it hot for 300 at the University of Calgary, heaters and staff included. Then the mixed sweets boxes that reviewers buy for events, in packaging that gets its own compliments. Staff are patient with first-timers facing a long counter, and a reviewer's father got a birthday wish with his box. Good to know Open daily 9am to 9pm. Takeout and delivery, coffee, catering for large events, step-free entrance, free parking. Rated 4.7 from more than 1,300 Google reviews.
