Specializing in dessert, Brulee offers a small, but incredibly well done selection of cakes, cookies, brownies and so on. I'm an especial fan of their croissants.
So where to start... where to start. Well, they're a bit hard to find, as they're just underneath the Cookbook Co. on 11th AVe SW. They're definately busy baking all the time, but I've seen them sell out often. They're simply marvellous at what they do, and what they do is simply delicious. Their service is fast and efficient, and they're quite a friendly staff.
There's still quite a bit I've yet to try, so looking forward to my next few visits. -

I was recommended to try Brûlée via Twitter. I was looking for a great tasting cake that would be special for my mother in law's 65th birthday. I am not a dessert person so I asked them for advice on flavour and style.
They did not disappoint! The chocolate ganache cake was to die for and I'm not even a chocolate lover. A day later I'm trying to figure out who has a birthday next so that I can order them a cake to try other flavours.
The service was also top notch. So friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. If I could assign a bonus star I would. I would hands down recommend Brulee to anyone looking for cakes and pastries for any occasion. -

Brûlée has turned me into a dessert person. I now sometimes look off into the distance and think about Brûlée's sugar cookies (which are so buttery delicious I wish they were a food group).
Everything on their menu that I've tried I've loved. Whether it's the sugar, white chocolate macadamia nut or peanut butter cookies or their custard filled, fresh fruit topped, crumbly crust butter tarts; it's exactly what you'd expect of a great dessert; a treat full of well balanced flavor that leaves you satisfied without feeling too full.
Expect to pay a premium for these treats; but if you need to impress someone special, a Brûlée dessert is sure to do the trick. Just follow your nose down the stairs and get yourself a sugar cookie (you deserve it).

Mmmm... an underground bakery. Literally. Brulee dwells in the basement half of one of the buildings on 11th Ave. The first time I visited was to buy myself a piece of birthday cake. The second time, to buy a friend a piece of birthday cake. I was that impressed with my own piece.
It's no wonder Brulee has such a good reputation--your dessert is baked and dressed to impressed with copious amounts of TLC in every bite.
The cheesecake is next on my list to try as suggested by Gimlet B, but you'll be pretty safe with anything in there... unless of course you're looking to avoid satisfying your sweet tooth. In that case, run. -

Okay, okay I swear: I'll do a sugar detox next week.
Since it's not next week yet, you'll be happy to know that I visited Brulee Bakery this week and I was delighted!
Known around town for pulling out all the stops in their festive baking (Easter, Mother's Day, Christmas, etc), I had to see these decadent creations for myself.
Known for their lemon cream cake, chocolate Ganache cake, lavender shortbread, chocolate Diablo, pecan sticky buns, seasonal fruit tarts, apricot torte, seasonal fruit tarts, chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake brownies and custom-made cakes, Brulee really sets the bar (very high I might add) when it comes to baked goods in Calgary.
With a wedding cake specialist in-house, the good people at Brulee are living proof that if you can dream it, they can make it.
Whether you are looking for gluten-free desserts, or raw puff pastry to take home and bake with yourself, Brulee Bakery is an absolute gem in our city. -

Hard to find, but well worth the search. If they have cheesecake you better get it before I do.
