iNews 880 blogger Brittney LeBlanc is encouraging Edmontonians to shop local. Here’s what she had to say about Duchess Bake Shop:
My second recommendation: Duchess Bake Shop. Duchess Bake Shop opened recently at 10720-124 Street. I first heard of them when they signed up on Twitter (@duchessbakeshop), and immediately wanted to check the shop out. I haven’t had amazing baked goods since I went to Europe a few years ago… but this morning, I finally tried out Duchess Bake Shop and they rocked my world.
As for the pain au chocolat, I didn’t share that with anyone. And trust me, you will never want to share one of these either. It was an experience. Just the right amount of chocolate wrapped in a light, flaky (but not overly flaky) pastry. It was delectable, scrumptious, and probably the only satisfying pastry I’ve had since I returned from my brief tour of Europe. In fact, if not for work, I’d probably be writing this blog inside the bake shop right now, enjoying another one.
