I am visiting family from out of town and was looking for a good lunch place. My sister recommended this to me, and I was very impressed. Awesome selection of pastries and desserts. For lunch, I had a sausage roll and a quiche, and both were very well done. The pricing was very reasonable as well. C$23 for three lunch items and three desserts of high quality. The service was friendly and attentive. I ordered each item one at a time and sat outdoors to enjoy. Then I came back in and ordered plenty of food to take back to family.
French music playing in the background, incredible customer service and amazing pastries. Overall incredible ambiance. Great little hidden gem.
I can't believe this only has 4 reviews. This is my favorite bakery in Calgary. If you like flaky, buttery pastries, there is no other. The cheese sticks, the ham and swiss croissant, 3 cheese croissant are among my favorite choices there. I have never met anyone who does not like the cheese sticks. I stop in every other week for a treat. It's not really a sit in place so I usually grab my goodies to go. Also be sure to give your croissants a quick nuke to melt the cheese a bit. I got this really fancy chocolate cake there once which was excellent and I don't really like cake so that says a lot. They have a large selection of desserts like creme brulee, fancy creme puffs, fruit tarts, meringes etc. I prefer the savory stuff. My wife likes the sweets. The selection changes pretty frequently and depending on when you get there, the choices can be limited. But that's part of the fun, stopping by to see what they have. This is by far the best bakery to go to get your "fancy" snacks or if you want a heart attack and empty wallet. )
Sooooo gooood! this is a place you most definitely have to visit. over and over again. i bought a bunch of pastries for old friends at this patisserie / bakery. I treated myself to one of their strawberry whip cream puffs and I was overcome by happiness and joy. hahahha soooo good! it's worth the drive wherever you live in town
So yum. Love this little hidden gem. I take my son for desserts. We both love it. The ambiance is great and the staff is lovely. I swear they are one of the only places who make a great cold green tea.
My lady and I popped into Eclair de Lune bakery one afternoon to pick up a sweet treat. You could smell the inviting aroma of baked goods out on the sidewalk - how can you not go in? The first thing you see when you walk in is a display case featuring different flavors of croissants and meringue cookies in pastel colours. We both opted for a lime and dulce du leche cookie that had an authentic name which I tried to pronounce but the lady just giggled so I guess I botched it pretty good. After picking up a coffee, we dug in. The cookie was crunchy and had a nice citrusy overtone, so it wasn't too sweet, which I appreciate. I would definitely go back here on another occasion to pick up some of their speciality bread, which is likely where that heavenly smell was coming from!
Eclair de Lune has the best croissant in town, tasty, fresh, big! The display is showing more and more nice pieces: mousse, chocolate cake, tarts, salty snacks, etc. Colorful and very attractive, it's worth spending some times to choose one or more pastries. Give it a try, the baker is passionate about what he is doing and always open to hear about your tasting experience.
Who doesn't love a bakery? Honestly. They smell delicious, they have appealing treats, and it saves (trying) baking at home. Eclair de Lune is no exception to that. It's a great little bakery located at the corner of Northmount Drive and 40 Avenue. I first wandered by in search of something to munch on for breakfast, but ended up buying more than necessary. They had these appetizing looking croissants on the counter - I bought three - as well as milk bread. What is milk bread, you might ask? Well, that's what I thought so I did ask. The nice French baker helping me explained it to me, and it sounded so good I even bought a roll. The guy behind the counter really was passionate about baking. You could tell when he was explaining what each pastry was. He was able to fully explain, to my understanding, what each thing was, and made everything sound so delicious! I enjoyed spending a few minutes learning about all the things he had. They had available an assortment of different breads and baked goods. There were full apple tarts for sale, as well as pre-made ready-to-bake creme brule. The most appetizing looking item had to be the chocolate eclairs he had. I do love a good eclair, and these looked so tempting I had to buy some. so I got two. It would seem as though only half the store is functioning, since there was an empty display case on the other side of the store. As well, I'd recommend bringing cash since their debit machine is extremely slow. We actually had to ring through my purchase twice because the first debit transaction didn't go through since someone was calling the store at the same time. I'm glad I bought more than I needed from Eclair de Lune because now I've got extra yummy pastries at home. It was a great bakery experience and if I'm in the neighbourhood anytime soon, I'll definitely be heading back.
This was one of those places in the neighbourhood that you see, and always want to stop into eventually. My only regret is not having stopped in earlier. What a gem of a bakery! From the Pain au Chocolat to the sausage rolls, everything I've tried, is beyond outstanding!
Lovely pastries! Try a cinnamon bun which is so light and flaky as opposed to normal heavy dough types. This place clearly knows its pastries as the croissants and the cinnamon buns are out of this world - light and flaky without being greasy. I was watching the chef (baker?) as he was making some desserts and he looked totally passionate about his work. Worth the stop!
