Akeela and her friend Sarah visited Duchess for Sunday brunch. She shared the experience on her blog. Here’s is a quote:

I indulged in a scone and the most lovely chocolate eclair. It was actually the most perfect eclair, with the most delicate pastry with just the right amount of cream and glazed with chocolate.

Paige is a blogger who likes good food and traveling. As an out-of-town visitor, she decided to give Duchess Bakeshop a try. She wrote this review, accompanied by some great photos. Here is a quote:

The flavours [of the macarons] were strong but not artificial and the texture and size were perfect. If I lived in Edmonton, I would probably visit this sweet little cafe on a weekly basis.

Barcelona!

People may notice that I haven’t been in the shop at all for the last few days. That’s because I’m on an excursion in Barcelona. I’ll be traveling through Spain in to France and Italy enjoying myself but also, and more importantly, researching new ideas to bring back for the shop! I’ll be posting photos of some things I’ve found and hope to bring back to add to the Duchess repetoire. So far Barcelona has been amazing! Tremendous food and a fantastic flair for design and presentation. Stay tuned!

Stephanie just posted an exquisite review of her experience at Duchess Bake Shop today on her “Edmonton Outlaw” blog. Here is an excerpt:

I had a extremely rare, and perfectly unique cafe experience this afternoon that has left me feeling a bit out of sorts. I visited “Duchess Bake Shop” on 124 street and I will never be the same again.
