Are you ready for a sandwich like no other? One with real deli meats, cheeses and fresh veggies... custom made to order and only for $7? If so, it's time you head on over to Rustic. The deli counter is to your left.
I ordered a spicy salami sandwich with gouda cheese on rye. The girl making my sandwich asked me everything I wanted from bread down to the sauce and veggies. She didn't write a single thing down and when I got my sandwich, it was bang on! Best $7 lunch ever.
If you're extra hungry, you can also add a soup or salad for $2... or, if you have an itty bitty appetite, get a half sandwich for $5. Either way, you'll be a happy camper. I know I am.Listed in: Places to go in the Beltline, Five Star Calgary Reviews, Sandwiches are pretty..…, Paninis and Sandwiches in…

I've been enjoying their breads and made from scratch soups for years now (I'm especially a fan of their clam chowder, cream of carrot and italian wedding).
A bavarian based deli and organic bakery, this place at the forefront of Calgary's foodie specialist scene has been a place to savour, enjoy and celebrate. Excellent made to order sandwiches, with ANY choice of an entire deli counter for meats. The soups rotate so each fresh soup is different for the day. Absolutely savory, and sensuous to the taste.
And I sneak in during the week for the occasionally sensational sugar or shortbread cookie. Shhh... -

What do you get when you cross a soft, salty pretzel with a nice crunchy bun? You get Rustics amazing pretzel bun, which in my opinion may be the greatest invention since sliced bread.
Unbleached, untreated whole wheat flour as the main ingredient is a nice bonus as well. I may not ever want a little sandwich on anything else, but this could be a problem because I don't live here!
And, oh ya, they have lots of other breads and pastries which are good as well, but right now all I can think about is that pretzel bun.Listed in: Adventures in Calgaryland

Wow! I just had the best sandwich of my life at Rustic. It was a warm schnitzsel and swiss on sourdough white. I could really taste the quality and I kind of felt guilty for all those trips I made to Subway when I could been supporting this local gem. All I can say is, wow!
Half the establishment is a bakery and the other half specializes in meats, cheeses and other specialty foods. They have a variety of different sandwichs, but usually they have a special of the day, today it was schnitzel. I felt the $7.00 for the sandwich was fair. In addition to being delicious it was large and came with a couple of carrots and pickles. I also had the beef vegetable soup for an extra $2.00. It was good, but the sandwich is what got my attention.
It's probably better to take out here. There are about 3 tables in the establishment and they are small. And it's probably busy during lunch hour.
I may never go to a Subway ever again. -

This place is amazing.
The building is split into two sections: a bakery, and a cafe/deli. The bakery section serves fresh-baked cakes, breads, and pastries. The bread selection is huge, and each bread is listed and described on their website. (There is even a graph at the bottom of the page listing the rye flour content in a very scientific way. This means absolutely nothing to me, but it's great to be able to pass the information on to your guests and give the impression that you're some sort of specialized grain expert.)
The other side of the Rustic Sourdough sells a huge selection of meats, cheeses, as well as made-to-order sandwiches and soups. There are daily sandwich specials, but my preference is to custom order. They usually offer all of the meats that they sell to be freshly cut for the sandwich (a great way to try before you buy), not to mention tons of variations on toppings, cheeses, breads, and types of sauce and mustard. I'm lucky enough to live nearby: I haven't made a single sandwich of my own since I've moved here. After such a huge selection of options paired with fresh bread and homemade soups: anything coming out of my own fridge is just sad.
Rustic Sourdough also carries a variety of European candies and preservatives including pickles, mustards, spreads, and sauces. A lot of the products that you'll find at the larger European markets can be found here without the crowds (if you've ever been to Edelweiss around Christmas, you know the nightmare I'm talking about) including seasonal items like Stollen. The staff are always friendly, and the prices are affordable, making this a delightful experience all-around. -

Allow me to let you in on a secret that hundreds of thousands of Calgarians are already in on.
You ready?
Here goes:
Rustic Sourdough Bakery makes THE best cheese Danish in town. No word of a lie. And you will know that I'm not lying when you see people lined out the door on Saturday mornings.
Be sure to pay this place a visit (or two, or three, or...you get the idea) over the holiday season. They make THE best chewy cinnamon stars I have ever had. Their fruit breads and their gingerbread are just as amazing. Plus don't even get me started on their Christmas logs, rum tarts and cream filled cakes.
I think I just gained 5 lbs.
Ah well - Don't think about the consequences...it's not healthy to ;) -

Rice-a-Roni may call themselves the "San Francisco Treat", but if you've ever been there, you know the real treat to be the sourdough bread. But you don't have to go all the way tot the Bay area to get delicious preservative-free, hand-crafted sourdough bread. All you have to do is get down to the Rustic Bakery on 17th Ave SW.
Their artisanal sourdough bread is nice and crusty on the outside, and the inside is somehow dense and light all at the same time the way a great sourdough oughtta be.
Besides their myriad choices of artisanal breads, they also offer a wide assortment of cakes, tortes, and pastries.
You always get service with a smile, and if the heavenly aromas happen to get your belly rumbling, not to worry, because Rustic has an adjoining deli serving up hearty homemade soups, salads, and custom sandwiches on their delightful homemade bread. -

This is a great, affordable eating bakery/deli on 17th Avenue SW. It is really spacious and has two in one choices, there is the bakery on the right hand side and the deli eat in area on the left. The place was filled with locals and there is a nice bright spirit and energy to the digs.
The bakery has a great selection of bread loaves as well as a grand selection of cookie choices in prices that they should be in; under a buck. Expect other temptations, cinnamon rolls, cheesecake etc but the prices again are so affordable, even if you don't have a sweet tooth you will not leave the bakery without buying something.
Although I haven't eaten in the deli area I see that you get the choices of sliced meats and cheeses; that paired with fresh bread choices from the bakery it is no wonder this place was packed.
I will come back again to review this location since it is so close to my home. -

Not my kind of cakes! Strudel no. Cakes kind of heavy.
