Sweetheart Bakery - Edmonton, Alberta

The pork dumplings were amazing. They are sweet and savory and you should order some while here. Had a positive experience. Their pastries are delicious and they nail the texture. The taro bun I got was soft and fluffy, with a creamy interior and a bit of crunch on top. ... Unfortunately, there is some inconsistency in quality. One of the pastries we bought that morning was stale, so next time we visit we will be more discerning about which ones are fresh. They do have some traditional flavors in some of their products like 5 spice in their curry beef pastry which I know some people might not want. Overall my partner and I really liked it and will return if we are in the area. The stale pastry was a disappointment, but the rest of the pastries were quite good and made up for it. Read more

A few times heading into the bakery during open product was not available, a little disappointing. Was told to come back around noon which was about 2 hrs after open. Otherwise the buns and baked items are delicious. Good quality products.

Same usual items you find in any Chinese bakery. The owners seems polite though not the talking type. The place is very clean and organized. Never had a bad items here. I liked the tastes of the rolled cakes here. I will take some picture next time I am at ... the bakery. Read more

The bakery has a large assortment of buns(sweet or salty), Chinese long donuts, cakes and desserts. Their egg tarts and fruit tarts sell fast and are always gone when I check around 4pm. You can order any food item ahead of time and have them put it aside for you, ... you just have to ask. The employees have always been super friendly and nice. Decent prices. Read more

I've been going to Sweetheart Bakery ever since it opened 4-5 years ago. They fueled my sweet and savoury taste buds throughout University. I would always think about visiting whenever classes started later because that meant I could eat some warm and fresh pastries. Weekends were always highlights because I ... would visit in the morning and be set for the day. My favourites are the barbecue pork bun, curry beef bun, custard bun (including the pineapple variation, which is a almond cookie crust), any of their flaky pastry/pâté chaud variants, and deep fried long doughnuts, deep fried buns (curry beef and chicken). You can't go wrong with most items. Visit during the morning/earlier in the day to get the best and freshest stuff. Read more
