| - Who doesnt love a bakery? I do. Bread is my weakness, so this is either the most biased, or perhaps unbiased review I have written.
I lived in New Zealand for many years, and we had COBS there, but was called Bakers Delight ( the North American version goes under the cobs name). I remembered it fondly and had to go into cobs today.
The bakery is located in a little mall that is very busy. The bakery itself is small, but the shelves and counters are packed with delicious fresh baked goods. Every inch is full of stuff. They have a large variety of loaves ( or blocks, they call them here) of breads that the slice to the size you want. They also have scones, rolls, savory breads, baguettes, and sweet items too. I had a cinnamon roll. I asked them today what the icing was, and she told me cream cheese, which i dont like. She kindly offerred to sprinkle it with icing sugar. Nice of her.
The staff here were efficient and pleasant, considering how busy they were. The lineup was out the door, but they were cheerful and happy.
The prices for breads are excellent, a fresh loaf of multigrain bread is about 4 bucks. As the bread is fresh, it wont last as long as supermarket preservative laden breads. Chances are it wont last long at home in your cupboard anyways, its delicious.
Great service, good prices, delicious products. Cobs is a winner. Check out one of the 3 locations in Calgary. Get there early in the morning if possible to avoid lineups.
Cobs is great.
