Sidewalk Citizen satisfies every cell of my carb loving body. I don't know how they do it but both their savory and sweet scones are some of the best I've tried. Always with a crisp golden crust of whatever the filling is of the day, these scones hold the perfect ratio of moist crumbliness. Although I'm not generally a sweets person, their danishes are also fantastic with a buttery, flaky edge and just enough custard on the inside.
Unfortunately, the only thing I didn't love were the menu items with meat such as the meatball sandwich and the lamb pizza. Don't get me wrong, the crust and the sandwich bread would make me order both items again, but I found the meat to be on the drier side. Not a deal breaker, but being someone who travels routinely with access to renowned bakeries and cafes, this was a little disappointing for me. All in all though, I would absolutely be back and glad to see Calgary inching up its culinary game.
